The Morning Post, Of Vienna, has the following
despatch:
| EGEMowILx, Nov lion the 9th instant the
whole garrison Of Sebastopol, amounting to $4,000
men, made sortie, when most furious battle en-
sued which was not ended when the messenger
left, but the allies had the advantage.
| II was reported in Paris that the French govern
ment had received despatch announcing that the
storining of Sebastopol commenced on the 9th,
under very favorable circumstances.
| Another despatch says that on the 4th the allies
batteries were but $50 yards from the walls, and
had effected practicable breach
From Jassey to the 10th it had been autographed
that the movement Of the Ottoman troops towards
Moldayia and the Pruth continues with great ac-
tivity and produces much sensation In the prnci-
palities.
Omer Pasha was expected in person on the
Pruth. General Sudcrs II is said will evacuate the
southern part of Bessarabia If Sebastopol falls as
the allies viii then act against Odessa and Acker-
| mann.
The steamers Of the Baltic feet remained at Kiel
| Bay.
Commercial letters from st. Petersburg, received
at Mcneil, say that goods are not to be shipped In
British vessels, as It was feared that the Russian
feet would put to sea- there being 80 few British
cruisers in the Baltic.
Indications are strengthened that the Gar evin-
ces willingness to resume negotiations. His con-
cession, however goes no farther than offering to
treat on the four points Of the guarantee.
The following details are derived by telegraph
from another source:
It appears, according to the English accounts,
that the Russians went forth and attacked the Eng
lish position before Sebastopol on the 9Th of No
yember. A terrible battle ensued, which lasted q
whole day. The fighting was intense. A constant
roar of cannon was kept up from early morning un~
til night. The Russians are reported to have lost
eight thousand in killed and wounded, and the allies
by their own statements, five thousand The field
was literally covered with heaps of dead and dying
presenting terrible sight. Several prominent Off
GERS on both sides were slain The left wing Of the
allies was attacked Immediately after. The French,
however, repulsed the enemy with a loss of 900
killed and wounded.
The Russian accounts say that they captured one
of the enemies' batteries and spiked their guns,
and that in the last engagement the French were
repulsed with tremendous slaughter.
Sebastopol still held out manfuly, and was grad
ually being reinforced
The accounts altogether show that the Russians,
in the engagements above mentioned, had decided
ly the advantage, and came off best, and that the
allies are much weakened, and in an extremely per-
ilous position.
The allies are undoubtedly in an unenviable and
dangerous position. So much So that they see the
necessity Of immediate achievements Dispatches
have beea sent to England and France for supplies
Of troops, for which purpose, all available means
Of transport have been called into requisition Ev-
cry ship that could be had including the Cunard
steamer Europa, has heenSchartered to convey
troops % the Crimea.
Intenss anxiety prevails throughout England and
France In reference to the uncertain and critical
condition of their armies at Sebastopol 1t is evil

ultimate fate. There are many who think the al
lies are in very critical position, and that seri

The very Latest.
AT Vienna, the prevalent opinion was that a few
more such victories as these claimed by the allies
on the 4th and 9th, viii compel them to raise the
siege. Menschikof appears to be OF the same opin-
ion for in bis despatch TO Prince Paskiewitch, he
says:
at win be impossible for the allies to continue
the siege; and win continue to harrass them with
out intermisson.n
Canrobert had assured the French government
that the Russians were 80 weakened in the affair Of
the 9th, that, for days to como, they would not be
in condition TO resist an assault upon the town,
and that he means TO make the attempt

no concessions, and viii not move from his former
position. No movement Of active hostties, how
ever, has taken place.
