SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.

(From the London Gazette Extraordinary.)

Portman-square, Midnight, Nov. 6.

His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has this evening re-
ceived despatches, of which the following are copies,
addressed to his Grace by General Lord Raglan :

Before Sebastopol, Oct. 23, 1854

. ,
MT LORD DUKE,—The operations of the siege have
been carried on unremittingly since I addressed your
Grace on the 18th inst.*

On that afternoon, the French batteries not having been
able to re-open, the enemy directed their guns almost
exclusively on the British entrenchments, and main-
tained a very heavy fire upon them till the day closed,
with less damage, I am happy to say, to the works and
with fewer casualties than might have been anticipated.
On the following morning, shortly after daylight,
General Canrobert not only resumed his fire from the bat-
teries which had been injured, bat materially added to
the weight of his attack by the fire of the batteries which
he had caused to be constructed on the previous day ; and
these have continued ever since ; and he has had it in his
power to push his approaches forward, and, like the Eng-
lish, materially to injure the defences of the place; but
these are as yet far from being subdued, neither is a
serious diminution of their fire perceivable.
Our flre has also been constant and effective; but the
enemy, having at their disposal large bodies of men and
the resources of the fleet and arsenal at their command,
have been enabled by unceasing exertion to repair their
redoubts to a certain extent, and to replace matey of the
guns that have been destroyed in a very short space
of time, and to' resume their fire• from works which we
had succeeded in silencing.
This facility of repairing and rearing the defence* na-
turally renders the progress of the 'assailants slower than
could be wished and I have it not in my power to inform
your grace, with anything like certainty, when it may
be expected that ulterior measures may be undertaken.
I have the honour to transmit to your grace the return•
of.killed and wounded between the 18th and 20th instant,
inclusive.

In my last I announced to your grace-the death, which
had just been reported to me, of that deeply-lamented
officer, the Hon. Colonel Hood, of the Grenadier Guards.
No other military offer has since fallen, but Major Prince
Edward of Saxe-Weimar was slightly wounded on the 19th.
His Serene Highness insisted, however, upon remaining
in the trenches until the detachment to which he was
attached was relieved at the usual hour, and he has now
resumed his duty.

Captain Lord bunkellinof the Coldstream Guards, was
unfortunately taken prisoner yesterday morning, before
daylight, in front of the trenches.

The naval batteries have' continued their exertions
without intermission ; and I regret to have to report the
death of two gallant officers of the Royal Navy—the Hon.
Lieut. Ruthven, who has died of his wounds, and Lieut.
Greathead, of Her Majesty's- ship Britannia : both are
universally regretted. The latter received a mortal wound
while• laying a gun, after having-, to use the language of
Brigadier-General Eyre, who was then in charge• of the
trenches, " performed his duty in the batteries in, a
manner that excited the admiration of aIL"

A considerable body of Russians, two days agc!i were
in thevieinity of Balaklava, but they have since withdrawn,
and are no longer to be seen in our front.
I have-reason to believe that Prince Menschikoff is•not
in Sebastopol. He is stated to have placed himself with
the main body of the army in the- field, which is repre-
sented tabe stationed in the plains- south of Bakshiserai.
Admiral. Kornilof, the chief of the staff, and tempora-
rily in command of Sebastopol, is reported to have died. of
his wounds the day before yesterday..

His Grace the Duke of Newcastle-04x.

* This despatch has not been received. The Morning Post
has the following respecting it ;—" The public will naturally
have felt much surprised at the non-receipt of despatches
from Lord Raglan by the same steamer conveying intelligence
of the naval action off the harbour of Sebastopol, on the 17th
instant, which appeared in the papers of yesterday. We
regret to say that these deeply-interesting papers, having
been entrusted by Lord Raglan to Leiutenant Henderson,
were, by some unaccountable misfortune on the part of that
officer, lost. Lieutenant Henderson has arrived in London,
am', so far as we have been able to ascertain, is unable to
account for this most unfortunate circumstance." The Globe
save that such is not the case, and there is some reason to sun-

and were not delivered in time at the British embassy at Con .
stantinople.—[The missing despatch was received on Paw,
day, and wili be found in our columns.]
