TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1854.

[GRATIS.

General Canrobert not only resumed his fire from the bat-
teries which had been injured, but 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 fire has
also been constant and effective ; but the enemy, having
it 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 many 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 defences na-
turally renders the progress, of the assailant 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 will be taken.
I have the honour to transmit to your grace the return
of killed and wounded, between the 18th and 20th instant.
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 officer 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 Dunkellin, of the Coldstream Guards, was
unfortunately taken prisoner 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
in laying a gun, after having, to use the words of Brigadier-
General Eyre, who was with them in charge of the
trenches—" Performed his duties in the' batteries in a
manner that excited the admiration of all."
_ _

A considerable body of Russians, two days ago, were
in the vicinity 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 to be stationed in the plains south of Bakshi Serai.

Vv
Admiral Kornileff, the chief of the staff, and tempora-
rily in command of Sebastopol, is reported to have died of
his wounds the day before yesterday.
