THE WAR.
The dispatch of reinforcements to the seat of
war continued without intermission. Every a.
vailable steamship was taken up by the Govern
ment for the purpose and it is stated in the Lon
don Times that the British Government is now
paying at the rate of million week for the
charter of steamers alone, beside the cost of fuel
The Niagara and Arabia having been taken up by
the Government, the Cunard Company has issued
q notice that no vessel belonging to their line
ter which date the communication would be every
Saturday. The Collins line was to change
their days of sailing after the departure of the
steamer Of 29th Nov. from Wednesday to Satur-
day, in order that the commerce of both sides of
the Atlantic might be Inconvenience as little as
possible. The West India and Brazilian lines of
mail steamers were also to be temporarily inter-
rupted.
The British War Office has issued o circular
calling upon all the embodied and disembodied
militia to give as many volunteers as possible to
the regiments of guards and the line, and to the
Royal marines.
The alarm in England seemed to be subsiding
as to the position Of the allied armies in the Cri-
mea, which, with the reinforcements arriving,
were deemed sufficiently strong to carry out the
object of the campaign successfully.
A winter campaign in the Crimea will evidently
take place, and wooden barracks for 10000 men
were being shipped by the British Government.
A dispatch from Balaklava of the 7th Novcm-
ber, received via Vienna, states that reinforce
ments for the allies were arriving at the rate of
l 900 men daily, and they were overjoyed at the
arrival of these anxiously expected detachments.
Both armies had completed their third parallels,
which were connected together by means of a
trench. The allies were obliged to form counter
mines. The iner town was strongly barricaded.
The Russian news states that the allies having
received considerable reinforcements on the 9th,
7th and Sth, made demonstration against the
left flank of the Russians: the latter retired from
the plateau to the right bank of the Chernaya.
Fifteen thousand men of the garrison of kiche-
neff had marched to Odessa. Prince Pashkie-
wich had ordered another corps of 10000 men to
the Crimea.
dispatch from Prince Menchkoff, dated Sc
Nov. IL, states that at that date the
continued. The allies (he says)
had not advanced in their operations since the Sth
ovI eksn -, kt1n:~
Balaklava. Gen. Liprandi was wounded on the
5th.
THE BATTLE OF INKERAfANN.
MARsEILLEs, Nov. 20, 1854.
The Telemaque arrived this morning at A. NJ.
and the Government messenger, with dispatches,
left by the O'Clock train for Paris. The dates
from Constantinople are of the 10th.
On the morning of the 5th the Russians, 5000
strong. attacked the right of the right of the Eng
lish positions, toward lnkermann. The English
batteries were taken and retaken several times.
At noon the Russians made sorte from Sebas-
topal against the French positions, but were re-
pulsed. The Russians were also ultimately re-
pulsed toward lnkermann, after a bloody battle,
which lasted eight hours. Their loss was 5000

and l56 missing. The French had ono

ments who were sent out to bury the dead on the
9TH. General Canrobert was wounded.
The Russians were pouring in large masses from
the north. We require further renforcemcnts in
stantly.
PARIS, Nov. 2l, 1854.
The Monteur announces that, according to a
telegraphic dispatch received by the Telenaque,
Gen. Canrobert had pressed Prince Napoleon to
leave the camp in order to restore his health
The Prince had been very i'll, and the fatigues of
the battle Of Inkermann, made him much worse
It was hoped that he would be recovered sufficient
ly to share in the decisive attack against Sebas-
topol.
In confirming the intelligence of the battle of
Gen. Canrobert states that the battle
was most obstinate and bloody, and that the Rus
sian loss was enormous. Ts
Everything was ready for the assault, but the
allies had determined to postpone it till the arri-
val of fresh reinforcements. EnoL ra1i f15S
