TRANSLATION OF A TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH
RECEIVED BY THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE
ON THE 16n/ OF NOVEMBEIt, 12.30 A.M. FROM
LORD RAGLAN.

" NOVEMBER 6.

" The enemy, with immense forces, attacked
yesterday, in the dawn of morning, the right of
the English position before Sebastopol, which was
defended by the Second Division and the Brigade
of Guards of the First Light Division, the Fourth
Division, and part of the Third, and subsequently
by the division of General Bosquet and other
corps of the French Army, which by their gallant
conduct contributed essentially to the decided suc-
cess of the day. General Canrobert immediately
came to the spot, and gave me the support of his
assistance and of his excellent counsel. The

battle was extremely obstinate, and it was not ti

past noonthat the enemy was definitively repulsed
and forced to retreat, leaving the field of battle

covered with his dead and several hundreds of
prisoners. The number of the enemy much ex-
ceeded that which was opposed to us at Alma, and
the losses of the Russians Lave been enormous.

Our losses have also been very great. Genera

Sir George Brown, Major-General Bentinck,
Brigadier-Generals Adams, Buller, and Torrens
have been wounded. They are all doing well.
" The conduct of the troops in the face of an
•
enemy so superior in numbers has been excellent.

C RAGLAN.

stadt at 6 p.m.
