GENERAL ORDERS.

The Commander of the Forces feels deeply indebted to
Major-General Sir Colin Campbell for his able and perse-
vering exertions in the action in front of Balaklava on the
21st inst., and he has great pleasure in publishing to the
army the brilliant manner in which the 93rd Highlanders,
under his able direction, repulsed the enemy's cavalry-
The major-general had such confidence in this distin.
guished regiment that he was satisfied that it should re-
ceive the charge in line ; and the result -proved that his
confidence was not misplaced.

The Commander of the Forces considers it his duty to
notice the brilliant conduct of the division of cavalry
under the command of Lieutenant-General the Earl of
Lucan, in the action of the 25th instant. He congratu-
lates Brigadier-General the Hon. J. Y. Scarlett, and the
officers and men of the heavy brigade, upon their success-
ful charge and repulse of the Russian cavalry, in far
greater force than themselves ; and while he condoles
with Major-General the Earl of Cardigan, and the officers
and men of the light brigade, on the heavy loss it sus-
tained, he feels it to be due to them to place on record the
gallantry they displayed, and the.coolness and perseverance
with which they executed one of the most arduous attacks
that was ever witnessed, under 'the heaviest fire, and in
the face of powerful bodies of artillery, cavalry, and
infantry. - -

The Commander of the Forces has the greatest satis-
faction in thanking Lieutenant-General Sir De, Lacy
Evans, and the officers and men of the second division,
for the gallant and energetic manner in which they
repulsed the powerful sortie made upon this position on
the 26th inst.
The conduct of all engaged was admirable; and the
arrangements of the lieutenant-general were so able and
effective as at once to ensure success and inflict a heavy
loss upon the enemy.

The following despatch describes a piece of truly sea-
manlike courage on the part of an acting mate of the

Beagle :

"Britannia, off the Katcha, Nov. 1, 1554.
" Sir,—l have much pleasure in transmitting, for the
information and favourable consideration of the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty, the accompanyingtxtract
of a letter I have received from Captain Lushington, in com-
mand of the Naval 'Brigade, employed in the siege opera-
tions before Sebastopol.

"2. Mr. Hewett, of•whom Captain Lnshington reports
so highly, has been actively serving on shore since the 4th
of October, with the guns, &c., landed from the Beagle.

"I ,Lave the honour to be. Sir,
" Your obedient servant,
J. W. D. DUNDAS, Vice-Ailmiral
"The Secretary of the Admiralty."

ADMIRALTY. Nov. 17, 1854

As a mark of their approbation of the gallant conduct
of Mr. Hewett, the Lords of the Admiralty have promoted
that officer to the rank of lieutenant, dating his commis-
sion the day on Which he showed so worthy an example.

Extract of a letter from Captain Lushington to Vice-Ad-
miral J. W. Dundas, dated Head-quarters, Naval Brigade,
Oct. 28:—

" I beg to call your attention to the spirited conduct of
Mr. Hewett, the mate of the Beagle, in,tharge of the
right Lancaster 'battery, now containing one gun. On
the 26th instant, the Russians made a sortie in force—
about 8,000 men, on our right, placing our Lancaster gun
in jeopardy ; indeed, some skirmishers approached within
300 yards of it, pouring in a sharp fire of Minie rifles.
Some mistake occurred in the orders of the officer com-
manding the riequet, and the word was passed to spike the
gun and retreat,hut Hewett replied, That such an order
did not come from Captain Lushington, and'he would not
do so till it did.' - (He was aware I was in'the vicinity.)
He then pulled down the parapet, and with4he assistance
of some soldiers got his gun round, and poured a most
destructive fire of grape into a large column 'of Russians,
and on their retreating from the British•treops followed
them down the hill with solid 68 lb. shot, fired with fatal
precision. I am happy to say there were no casualties
among the sailors, and report says only 11 among the
troops. The Russian loss was very severe, as we saw the
bodies lying on the hill, but I am not in a poSition to give
you an authentic account."

GREAT BATTLE
BEFORE SEBASTOPOL.

(From a London Gazette Extraordinary of Thursday.)
Portman-square, November 16, 1854.
12.30 a.m.
The Duke of Newcastle has to-night received .a tele-
graphic despatch, of which the following is a translation,
from General Lord Raglan, G.C.B.
The .despatch was delayed between Bucharest and
Vienna by an interruption of the telegraph from injuries
received during a violent 'storm.

TRANSLATION OF A TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH RECEIVED
BY THE DIIICE OF NEWCASTLE ON 16TH NOVEMBER,
12.30 A.M., FROM LORD RAGLAN.
" November 6, Mt
" 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 2nd Division
and the Brigade of Guards of the first Light Division,
the 4th Division, and part of the 3rd, 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 sv.ocess of the day.
"General Canrobert immediately came to the spot, and
gave in the support of his assistance, and of his excellent
counsel.
" The battle was extremely obstinate, and it was not till
past noon that the enemy was definitively repulsed and
forced to retreat, leaving the field of battle covered with
his dead and several hundred of prisoners.
" The number of the enemy much exceeded that which
was opposed to us at Alma, and the losses of the Russians
have been enormous : our losses have also been very great.
" General 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, iu the face of an enemy
so superior in numbers, has been excellent.
" RAGLAN."

Received at Bucharest, Friday, the 10th November, at
p.m., and forwarded to Kronstadt at 6 p.m.
THE Buinsu AGENT.

RUSSIAN ACCOUNT.

The following is a written despatch which was handed
about at the Paris Bourse, as having been sent by Prince
Paskiewitsch, under the date of Nov. 6:—

"You will find enclosed a despatch which the grand
dukes have written to their august father. The arrival
of their imperial highnesses excited in the army and in
the town the greatest enthusiasm, and the prinees were
received with hurras and transports of delight. The
troops would have been delighted had the princes wit
tressed our success of the day before, and the ga
the town testified its impatience to welcome the

ison of

nesses by a new exploit.
" In the afternoon a column, consisting of 16 battalions,
marched resolutely on the right wing of the enemy, an

works of t

1g killed the g

:er part of the

anend to the combat

" In our share of tne says proceecungs 22,000 men were
engaged on both sides. The losses have been great ; ours
has been about 4,000 men, and that bf. the enemy at least
as great. . . .

"This sanguinary affair has been only one of those
accidents which occur so frequently in war. Had our
forces been concentrated, we should, without doubt, have
reduced the enemy to the utmost extremities. We are
now getting all our reserves up from Simferopol, Bakschi-
Serai, and Sutachiva. We are about to resolutely assume
the offensive, and we shall not allow one day's repose to
the enemy. Their forces are diminishing visibly. The
partial reinforcements which they successively have
received have not been sufficient to fill up the voids which
war and malady have made in their ranks. Their number
at present cannot be more than 50,000 men. This army
cannot escape us ; we have for us the moral ascendancy
and a great superiority in numbers. We are on our own
ground, and we are fighting at the same time for our soil,
and for the most holy of causes."

A Russian despatch gives news from Sebastopol to the
Sth instant, from which it results that, notwithstanding
all the efforts of the enemy, the siege operations continued
and were extended. The French were entrenching on
their left. Nothing had occurred since the sth to furnish
matter for a Russian bulletin.

The French papers publish telegraphic news from Mar-
seilles, brought there by the Sinai from Constantinople.
The most important is, however, the fact, that General
Mayran's brigade, from Greece, and 2,000 Zouaves from
Africa, both corps destined for the Crimea, had been met
at sea, and according to all probability would have joined
General Canrobert's army by the time the Sinai reached
Marseilles.

A gale in the Black Sea on the night of the 28th, and
which the Russian despatch described as terrific, and as
causing great damage to the fleets, appears to have tried
the seamanship of the Turks, and, it is said, has cost them
an 80-gun ship and a frigate.
The following summary of the news by the Sinai is given
in La Presse MARSEILLES, Nov. 15.

The Sinai has just arrived, with news from the Crimea
to the 3rd. It had been decided that the assault should
take place on the sth. 4,000 men, headed by Prince
Napoleon, were to direct the first attack against the Rus-
sian fort near the cemetery. The moment of assault was
waited with impatience. The state of Sebastopol is de-
scribed as frightful. The want of water is severely felt,
and typhus fever prevailed in the city, infected as it was
with the dead bodies which the sea cast upon the quays.
In the burning of the hospital of Sebastopol, 2,000 sick
and wounded were consumed. The first division was de-
tached from the besieging army in order to reinforce the
corps charged with observing the Russian army. Three
attacks attempted by the latter had been repulsed. Rear-
Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons had cut off the communica-
tions between Tamana, Anapa, and the land, and was
watching the Sea of Azoff; not a ship passed without
being rigorously searched. On the 26th, Rear-Admiral
Bruat landed near Yalta. The inhabitants received him
in a friendly manner, and supplied him with provisions.
The Cacique and the Spitfire, which were cruising before
the Dneitser, signalled the passage by Perekop of Russian
troops on their way to Sebastopol. The fire of the Rus-
sian guns had become languid. It was thought the
internal defence of the town would be energetic. The
houses were barricaded, furnished with cannon, and
transformed almost into citadels. Four ships of the Rus-
sian fleet were sunk. The weather was fine in the Crimea,
but at a distance the sea was stormy, and disasters were
feared. The Allier, Tisiphone, Ville de Marseille, Jena,
Albatross, Charlemagne, Napoleon, Taif, and the Tedjare,
which had been at sea, had returned. Some apprehensions
existed about the Suffren, the Madmouje, and the Abad-
jihad. The Bahira was said to be lost. The squadrons
under the command of Admirals Hamelin and Dundas
were in Katcha bay. The troops and the division under
the command of the rear-admirals are at Balaldava and in
Kamisch bay. The fleets render important services. It
was announced that the Russian flotilla Ismail would soon
be attacked.
