His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has this day

reoeived a despatch, of which the following is a
copy, addressed to his Grace by Field-Marshal the
Lord Raglan, G.C.B.
No. 96.

Before Sebastopol, Nov. 8.

My Lerd Duke,—l have the honour to report
to your Grace that the army under my command,
powerfully aided by the corps of observation of
the Fre-neh army, under the command of that dis-
tinguished officer, General Bosquet, effectually
repulsed and defeated a most vigorous and deter-
mined attack of the enemy on our position over-
looking the ruins of Inkerman, on the morning of
the sth instant.

In my letter to your Grace of the 3d, I in-
formed you that the enemy had considerably in.
creased their force in the valley of the Tscher-
naya. The following day this augmentation was
still further apparent, and large masses of troops
had evidently arrived from the northward, and on
two several occasions persons of distinguished
rank were observed to have joined the Russian
Camp.

I have subsequently learnt that the 4th corps
d'armee conveyed in carriages of the country, aud
in the lightest possible order, had been brought
from Moldavia, and were to be immediately fol-
lowed by the 3d corps.
It was, therefore, to be expected that an ex-
tensive movement would not be long deferred.
Accordingly, shortly before daylight, on the
sth, strong columns of the enemy came upon the
advanced picquets covering the right of the posi-
tion. These picquets behaved with admirable
gallantly, defending the ground foot by foot
against the overwhelming numbers of the enemy,
until the 2nd Division, under Major-General Pen-
nefather, with its field guns, which had imme-
diately been got under arms, was placed. in
position.

The Light Division, under Lieutenant-General
Sir George Brown, wa»s also brought to the front
without loss of time ; the Ist Brigade, under
Major-General Codrington, occupying the long
slopes to the left towards Sebastopol, and pro-
tecting •ur right battery, and guarding against
attack on that side, and the 2d Brigade, under
Brigadier-General Buller, forming on the le ft of
the 2d Division, with the 88th Regiment, under
Lieutenant-Colonel Jeffreys, thrown in advance.

The Brigade of Guards, under his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge and Major-General
Bentinck, proceeded likewise to the front, and
took up most important ground to the extreme
right on the alignement of the 2d Division, but
separated from it by a deep and precipitc)us
ravine, aid posting its guns with those of the 2d
Division.

The 4th Division, under Lieutenant-General
Sir George Cathcart, having been brought from
their encampment, advanced to the front and
right of the attack, the Ist brigade, under :Bri-
gadier-General
,Goldie, proceeded to the left, of
the Inkerman road ; the 2d brigade, under Bvi-
gadier-General Torrens, to the right of it, andl on
the ridge overhanging the valley of the Tsc her-
naya.

The 3d division, under Lieutenant-Gen er al
Sir Richard England, occupied in part the ground
vacated by the 4th division, and supported the
light division by two regiments under Brigaolie r-
General Sir John Campbell, while Brigadde r-
General Eyre held the coramand of the troops; in
the trenches.

The morning was extremely dark with a driz-
zling rain, rendering it almost impossible to dis-
cover anything beyond the flash and smoke of
artillery and heavy musketry fire.
It, however, soon became evident that the
enemy under cover of a vast cloud of skirmish,e) cs,
supported by the dense columns of infantry, had
advanced numerous batteries of large calibre! to
the high ground to the left and front of the !2d
Division, while powerful columns of infan try
attacked with great vigour the Brigade of Guard s.
Additional batteries of heavy artillery ware
also placed by the enemy on the slopes to o'er
left ; the guns in the field, amounting in the
whole to 90 piece-4, independently however of the
ship guns and those in the works of Sebastopol.
Protected by a tremendous fire of shot, sho:11,
and grape, the Russian columns advanced in gr ei-Lt
force, requiring every effort of gallantry on le
part of our troops to resist them.
At this time two battalions of French infant r,y,
which had on the first notice been sent by Genc n. al
Bosquet, joined our right, and very materb 1,1;!y
contributed to the successful resistance to the at-
tack, cheering with our men, and charging the
enemy down the hill with great loss.
About the same time a determined assault w- as
made on our extreme left, and for a moment the
enemy possessed themselves of four of our ge tns,
three of which were retaken by the 88th, w:
hale
the fourth was speedily recaptured by the 7', rt h
Regiment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Egerton.
In the opposite direction the Brigade of Guards,
underhis Royal Highness the Duke of Cambric Igo,
was engaged in a severe conflict.
The enemy, under the cover of thick bru osl.-
wood, advanced in two heavy bodies, and assaul t(3d
with great determination a small redoubt wb ich
had been constructed for two guns, but was ; mot
armed. The combat was most arduous, and i ;:he
Brigade, after displaying the utmost steadin Iss
and gallantry was obliged to retire before v.(' ary
superior numbers, until supported by a wing of
the 20th Regiment of the 4th Division, when tl
again advanced and retook the redoubt.
This ground was afterwards occupied in galls ;it

style by French troops, and the Guards speedily
reforincd ha rear of the right hank of the Second

Division.

In the meanwhile, Lieutenant-General the
Honourable Sir George Cathcart, with a few
companies of the 68th Regiment, considering that
he might make a strong impression by descending
into the valley, and taking the enemy in flank,
moved rapidly forward, but finding the heights
above him in full occupation of the Russians, he
suddenly discovered that ho was entangled with
a superior force, and while attempting to with-
draw his men he received a mortal wound, shortly
previously to which Brigadier-General Torrens,
when leading the 68th, was likewise severely
wounded.

Subsequently to this the battle continued with
unabated vigour and with no positive result, the
enemy bringing upon our line not only the fire of
all their field-batteries, but those in front of the
works of the place, and the ship guns, till the
afternoon, when the symptoms of giving way
first became apparent ; and shortly after, although
the fire did not cease, the retreat became general,
and heavy masses were observed retiring
over the bridge of the Inkerman, and as-
cending the opposite heights, abandoning on the
field of battle five or six thousand dead and
wounded, multitudes of the latter having already
been carried off by them. I never before wit-
nessel such a spectacle as the field presented ; but
upon this I will not dwell.

Having submitted to your Grace this imperfect
description of this most severe battle, I have still
two duties to discharge, the one most gratifying,
the last most painful to my feelings.
I have the greatest satisfaction in drawing your
Grace's attention to the brilliant conduct of the
Allied Troops. French and English vied with
each other in displaying their gallantry and mani-
festing their zealous devotion to duty, notwith-
standing that they had to contend against an in-
finitely superior force, and were exposed for
many hours to a most galling fire.
It should be borne in mind that they have
daily for several weeks undergone the most
oonstant labour, and that many of them passed
the previous night in the trenches.
I will not attempt to enter into the detail of
the movements of the French troops lest I should
not state them correctly ; but I am proud of the
opportunity of bearing testimony to their valour
and energetic services, and of paying a tribute of
admiration to the distinguished conduct of their
immediate Commander, General Bosquet ; while
it is in the highest degree pleasing to me to place
upon record my deep sense of the valuable assist-
ance I received from the Commander-in-Chief,
General Caurobert, who was himself on the ground
and in constant communication with me, and
whose cordial co-operation on all occasions I can-
not too highly extol.

Your Grace will recollect that he was wounded
at the Alma. He was again-wounded on the stb,
but I should hope that he will not long feel the
effects of it.

I will in a subsequent despatch lay before
your Grace the names of the officers whose
services have been brought to my notice.
I will not detain the mail for that purpose now,
but I cannot delay to report the admirable be-
haviour of Lieut.-General Sir George Brown, who
was unfortunately shot through the arm, but i 3
doing well ; of Lieutenant-General his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who particu-
larly distinguished himself ; and of Major-General
Pennefather in command of the Second Division,
which received the first attack, and gallantly
maintained itself under the greatest difficulties
throughout this protracted conflict ; of Major-
General Bentinck, who is severely wounded ;
Major-General Codrington, Brigadier-General
Adams, and Brigadier-General Torrens, who are
severely wounded; and Brigadier-General Buller,
who is also wounded, but not so seriously.
I must likewise express my obligations to Lieu-
tenant-General Sir Richard England for the- ex-
cellent disposition he made of his division, and
the assistance he rendered to the left of the light
division, where Brigadier-General Sir John Camp-
bell was judiciously placed, and effectively sup-
ported Major-General Codrington ; and I have
great pleasure in stating that Brigadier-General
Eyre was employed in the important duty of
gUarding the trenches from any assault from the
town.

Lieutenant-General. Sir De Lacy Evans, who
had been obliged by severe indisposition to go on
board ship a few days previously, left his bed as
soon as he received intelligence of the attack, and
was promptly at his post, and though ho did not
feel well enough to take the command of the divi-
sion out of the hands of Major-General Penne-
father, he did not foil to give him his best ad-
vice and assistance.

It is deeply distressing to me to have to submit
to your Grace the list of the killed, wounded, and
missing on this memorable occasion. It is indeed
heavy, and very many valuable officers and men
have been lost to her Majesty's service.

Among the killed your Grace will find the
names of Lieutenant-General the Honourable Sir
G. Cathcart, Brigadier-General Strangwaye, and
Brigadier-General Goldie.
Of the services of the first it is almost unneces-
sary to speak. They are known throughout the
British empire, and have within a short space of
time been brought conspicuously before the country
by his achievements at the Cape of Good Hope,
whence he had only just returned when ho was
ordered to this army.

By his death her Majesty has been deprived of
a most devoted servant, an officer of the highest
merit, while I personally have to deplore the loss
of an attached and faithful friend.

Brigadier-General Strangways was known to
have distinguished himself in early life, and in
mature ago throughout a long service he main-
tained the same character.
The mode in which he had conducted the com-
mand of the Artillery, since it was placed in his
hands by the departure through illness of Major-
General Cator, is entitled to my entire approba-
tion, and was equally agreeable to those who were
confided to his care.
Brigadier-General Goldie was an officer of
considerable promise, and gave great satisfaction
to all under whom he has served.

It is difficult to arrive at any positive conclu-
sion as to tho actual numbers brought into the
field by the enemy-. The configuration of the
ground did not admit of any great development
of their force, the attack, consisting of a system
of reputed
assaults in heavy masses of columns ;
but judging from the numbers that were seen in
the plain after they lied withdrawn in retreat, I
am led to suppose that they could not have been
less than sixty thousand men. Their loss was
excessive, and it is calculated that they left on
the field nearly live thousand dead, and that their
casualties amount in the whole, in killed, wounded,
and prisoners, to not less than 15,000.
Your Grace will be surprised to learn that the
number of British Troops actually engaged little
exceeded 8,000 men, while those of General
Bosquet's division only amounted to 6,000, the

remaining available French +roops on the spot
having been kept in reserve.

I ought to mention, that while the enemy wa,3
attacking our right, they assailed the left of the
French trenches, and actually got into two of
their batteries ; but they were quickly driven out
in the most gallant manner with considerable loss,
and hotly pursued to the very walls of Sebastopol.
I have, &c.

His Grace the Duke of Newcastle,

&C.

RAGLAN.
