LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1254.

There has been no confirmation of the alleged
battle of the 13th instant. The Egypt-us, which
left Constantinople on the 15th, and which,
therefore, ought to have brought any intelligence
from the Crimea up to that date, has arrived at
Marseilles. She did not bring, however, any
news from the Crimea, it being said that the
terrific storm of the 13th had prevented the
traasmission of any despatch from, the army. If
such a battle had taken place, we should unques-
tionably have heard of it in some official form before
tire present time. When, therefore, we remember
that no allusion to it has been made in the de-
spatches of MENSCILIKOFF, which declare that
nothing of importance had happened up to the
15th instant, we can only regard it as one of
the canards by which Western credulity has oc-
casionally been played-on. As we stated in a
recent number, although there would be nothing
improbable in such an attack, we must remember
that it has not been referred to in the despatches of
the Russian General, and that it is alleged to have
been made on the French lines, which shows that
if it at all took place it must have bees a sortie
from the town, inasmuch as the position of the
.Allies is such that any attack from the open
• country muse be made on the English in the first
instance.

If, however, there has been no pitched
battle, no desperate struggle for life nr death
between the besiegers of Sebastopol and those
17 whom they in turn are beleaguered, we have
isßeaped from other losses of a, serious character.
'said that several of our tran sports have
been •
drivenashore in the Bay of Katcha, and
Shat driven
TnanY
durizig the valuable lives have been sacrificed
•
xine, storm of the 13th and 14th in the
Foxing and which' -was also painfully perceptible
Constantinople itself. This is, indeed, striking
'is in the
most tend;
point. We know that
Prance is prepared to send powerful reinforce-
ments to the army d the
East--men sufficient to
turn the scale coinpletely, and insure atrium p
h
of the Western Powers. All that
is
the means of conveyance ! There
wanting is
,1
e are trained
Koldiers sufficient not only to insure the safety of the
besieging force, but the capture of Sebas'
topol and the
conquest of the entire Crimea. Any deterioration
of the transport power must therefore be looked
Ott as an evil of the grextest magnitude, which
could only be regarded as a formidable national
calamity. We must, however, remember that the
intelligence has only come from Russian sources,
and that much exaggeration may be looked for
respecting such points. A little difficulty would
be exaggerated into a terrible calamity—a mere
strung into an entire loss. Thus the running
aground of "two steamers and a screw ship''
ght have been the chief, if
not the only, foun-
