"a In oIEAmbHIP UNION.
Inc chief item OF intelligence by the Union an
nounces the fact tina. sebastopo has not yet fallen
Both sides were rapidly receiving reiniorcements
The following is given as the latest from the seat
war:
Strong Russian achievements were In motto,
sowards the Crimea, AMI 1t was evident that ths
struggle for Sebastopol Is still to be maintainef
with all tho power ofthe Gar
Fnnce Napoleon Is still at Constantinople, having
been compelled to leave the army on account O
continued bad health
1t 10 said that fourteen Russian war steamer,
have made rec ,nnoissance OF the baltic as far as
Deeoe without encountering any of the allied
fleet.
1t is evident that the allies were in most preea-
rious condtion, that They were 90 weakened as to
render an assault on Sebastopol an impossibilitv
and that they suffered very severely more especial
~ IN officers and the very best portion of the
armies.
The russians were swarmiEg the Crimea In i'm.
mense masses.
The desperate attack made by the Russians on
the 9Th of November, called the battle ofInkermap
10 thus described by the Journal de CONSTANT
nople:
"Early on the morning Of the 5th, Russian army
oil 40,ouo strong, OF whom 10000 men consisted of
refnforcernents which arrived on the preceding
evening, under the command OF General Damien
berg and the Grand Dukes Michael and Alexander,
man, to the extreme limit CT the English army and
attacked them vigorously.
General Cathcart assembled about 5000 men,
whom he opposed to the Russians and for more
than two hours this handful of brave soldiers had
been struggling with the most heroic intrepiiitv
against an army SO superior in number, when the
french troops arrived In all hate, and, Joining
themselves to the English with an admirable spirit
OF determination, opposed to the enemy body OF
about g. 600 men. who charged the Russian masses
one against i've, and repulsed them with the most
irresistible impetuosity. The Monet Brigade ARR.
yea soon aiterward, and its arrival completed the
rout OF the Russians, who retired In disorder about
O'Clock in the afternoon
during this engagement 5000 men of the garri.
SON OF Sebastopol made sortie and attacked some
companies who supported the French lines, which
were not more than one hundred metres from the
place.
General de Louruel went Immediately with a
lew 6attaons to the assistance of these conpanies
VINO sustained the attack with intrepid.y repulsed
Ine hussans, and forcing them to take flight pur.
sued them to within twenty PAGES of the quarantine
Battery. Atthat point serious wound forced him
10 stop, and the Russians were enabled to take re-
fuge in the place
In these two affairs the Russians, in killed and
Wounoea LOST the service Of more than 10000 men.
The loss of the allied armies amounts to about
3oo0 men In killed and wounded"
The Russian account of the battle, as given by
the Patrie In telegraphic despatch from Hamburg,
is as follows:
THE official bulletin of the battle of the 5th has
arrived at st. Petersburg. Prince Menschikoff an
nounces that the Russians had $500 soldiers and
l0o officers wounded. The number of killed was
NOT exactly known. Gen. Smonoff who was dan
gerousiy wounded during the action, survived only
a short time"
In confirming the intelligence of the battle oil In
hermann, Gen. Canrobert states that the battle was
most obstinate and bloody, and that the Russian
loss was enormous.
The following is all we have from the Danube by
this arrival:
Itsppears certain from the most reliable sources
within reach that Omer Pashs is marching upon the
Russian frontier. The conduct of the AustrIans in
the Prncipaies has been open criticism from the
day OF their entrance but there positive evidence
that they are seriously opposing the march of the
Ottoman army against the Russian TERRITORY
The reported acceptance of the four conditions by
Russia, 10 alluded to in another place.
IRELAND.-lntellissn ee had reached Dublin of the
death OF Viscount Lorton, at his seat To ca ia gham
In the county OF Roscommon. His Lordship
General in the army He lad nearly attained th Q
age of 80 years.
ITALY.-Mr. Lewis Cass, the u. g. Charse d,Af.
faiIes to the Court of Rome had an aude CO Of the
Pope on the 10h In which he delivered n, " lette,s
ofcredence raising him to the rank of resident Min.
FRANcE.-The Meniteur contradicts officially the
report that the Government intended to make levy
OF 50O GOO men. The levy to be that of 1854
140 600 men.
1t now appears that the words .'timid eounses,"
used by the Emperor. and about which there has
been much talk, were intended for Marshal Vaillant
Minister OF War, who is known to have opposed the
expedition TO the Crimea being too hazardous an
enterprise and who is also known to have offered
his resignstion since.
