PORTLAND, Nov %. The new Canard
propeller Canadian, Capt. McMaster, sailed
from Liverpool al 10 minutes past o'clock on
the 7th inst, and arrived here last night about
IL o'clock, bringing A cabin and lO8 steer
age passengers. Her advices are three days
later.
The details of the seiee Of SepasIoPol which
were published on the 9th, caused rather an
unfavorable feeling. Full accounts nave oeen
received up TO Oct. 80, regarding the com
mencement and progress of the seIge. The
official despatch es from Admiral Dundas, Gen
Canrober, and Admiral Hamelin, detailing
allies on the 9Th ult the first day of the bonn
bardment of Sepastopo, were only published
ON the 9th. From this it appears that the Ad-
mirals of the fleets, with the whole Of their
sbios. assisted the attack on The land by enga-
cling the sea batteries north and south of the
harbor. The French squadron took up posi-
ton about three cables length from the $50
guns Of the Quarantine Battery, the two bat
teries of Fort Alexander, and the Artillery
Barracks. The English squadron faced the
80 guns of Fort Constantine, the Telegraph
battery, and Fort Macmillan to the north
ward.
The land forces played from the heights
above SebastOpol TO the south, where they have
entrenched themselves in formidable and adj
VantageOus position. The action, so far as the
fleets were concerned, lasted from about half
past o'clock to halfpast 6, T. NJ, when it
being quite dark the ships were hauled off.
The loss of the English squadron is two
Lieutenants, Chase and Madden, killed; l6
officers wounded A men killed and 266
wounded. The ships are considerably dam
aged by shot and shell. The French loss was
80 killed AMI 1876 wounded.
Accounts have also been received of attacks
made by the Russian troops, numbering, it is
estimated, 30 900, upon the forts in the vicin-
lily of Baaclava, which lies to the southwark
and rear of the Allied position. The enemy
succeeded in capturing three batteries manned
by Turkish troops, and in driving away the
latter, who, il must be remembered, are mostly
raw levies Of young men. The English Light
Cavalry, the Scots Greys aud the 9Th Dragon
Guards, however, aided by the French troops,
speedily came to the rescue, and, though the
Light Cavalry suffered most severely. the
Russians were repulsed with great loss and
driven behind two of the batteries From This
position it was expected they would be spec
Oily ousted.
On the evening Of The 26th, the succeeding
day, the Russians, 5000 strong, made sorie
upon the towr, as we'll as from Tie direction of
Balaclava, but were repulsed with great slaurh
ter, one Thousand men, il is stated, being left
dead upon the field.
According to the latest Geographic advices,
although the attack npon the ratification by
sea had not been renewed, the bomhardment
from The heights was still vigorously continued
and the Quarantine Fort and Fort Constantine
had been razed, while the Southern Tower and
some other forts had been demolished The
town, it was stated was also on fire in three
different places.
1t was very evident that SppastopoI could
not hold out much longer, and, according to
one account, the grand assault upon it would
be made on The 2d or 81 Of NoveI Der.
Geographic despatch has heen received in
Liverpool by Greek house, to the effect that
the place had been positively captured bGt
although it is believed by many to be true, it
requires confirmation.
The telegraphic dispatches of this morning,
Nov. 7, state that the town of SebastopoI is
mass OF ruins that The French chasseu-s kill
every artilleryman whose head comes TO sight
above the embrasures while the allies pour
IN such an incessant fire all night, that the
Russians have no opportunity to repair their
damages
The Russian fleet in the harbor of Sebasto
pol had sought shelter under the BUILDINGS
alongside the quays, but The Allies were about
10 fire upon them from new batteries with red
hot balls.
1t is stated that the French have lost two
thousand men, principally by explosions
while the English loss is under one hundred
killed and wounded on the land side.
