New YoRK, Dec. IS.
The steamer Pacific, with one weeks
later advices from Europe, has arrived.
CoxMEKcrAL INTELL1GEscE.-Rich-
ardson, Pence & Co. report Beef more
active, and the stock reduced lower than
for several years, and full prices would
be obtained for the first new. Pork
was in fair request, but there was none
suitable for ship stores. Bacon had
declined. Large arrivals of Tallow
had depressed the market. At London
full prices were obtained for Sugars
Coffee was quiet. Little doing m Tai
low. Scotch Pig Iron duh at SIS
Linseed Oil dull at SIS 6d@3ss.
In England considerable panic and
dismay prevailed since the battle OF
Inkermann, on the 9Th of November,
IN which it had been ascertained that
four thousand of the allied army and
ten thousand of the Russians were left
dead upon the field, and so much had
both parties been cut up that neither Of
them were in a condition to resume
hostilities, except on the siege works,
up to the latest dates.
The utmost activity prevailed through
out France and England in forwarding
reinforcements to the Crimea, as the
existence Of the allied army depended
upon immediate relief in this way
Several thousand had already arrived
at the seat of war and large numbers
were on the way. 1t was reported that
the Russians had captured two Eng
lish cruisers in the Baltic.
The Austrian, Prussian and Ger
manic diplomatists were active, but
France and England have notified them
that they will not now treat on the basis
Of the four powers, but will take Sc
vastopol at all hazards, and occupy the
Crimea, and will then dictate their own
terms to- the Car of Russia.
A dispatch from Constantinople,
dated November 90 says that thirty
two English transports were lost in the
Black Sea on the l4th. The Prince
aud Sea Nymph foundered, and all ON
board perfshed. Three mail steamers
had been stranded, and the Sanspariel
was driven on shore on fire. The
Britannia had five ieet water in her
hold. The Agamemnon was stranded,
but got off, The machinery of the
Sampson was damaged, and the Retribu-
ton had to throw her guns overheard to
save herself. The Terrible was driven
ashore, and the Henry the Fourth and
the Pluto are lost. The storm which
produced these disasters swept over the
Black Sea with frightful fury.
A dispatch from Odessa, dated No
yember %, partly confirms the above,
and says three ships of the line belong
ing to the allies were lost or greatly
damaged.
Advices from Berlin, dated Novem-
Der %, says the Russian answer to the
Prussian note expresses the willingness
Of the Gar to treat on the following
terms: ,.r-r -t
First, A common guarantee by the
FIVE powers of the rights of the Chris
tan subjects of the Porte, without any
distinction as to their confession of
faith:
Second: A common protection of the
Principalities, to be exercised by the
five powers on the terms Of the treaties
now existing between Russia and the
Porte, and revision of the treaty of
I841. , H
Third: The free navigation of the
Danube.
The whole Russian loss in killed and
wounded was fifteen thousand. The
allies buried five thousand Russians left
dead oa the field.
The Paris Moniteur afarms that there
were seventy thousand Russians en-
gagged in the battle. E
The hurricane of the 18th, did not
extend beyond the Black Sea, and the
supplies and reinforcements we're con-
stantly arriving in spite of the stormy
weather; and the latest sdvices from
Constantinople state that fifteen thou
sand men to reinforce the armyi in the
Crimea had passed the Bosphorus.
!, A dispatch from Canrobert, dated
18th, says the operations of the siege
were progressing, and that the health
Of the troops was good.
= The Pacific did not sail from Liver
pool until Thursday morning.
The Niagara sailed from Liverpool on
the a5th of November, with troops to
the Crimea.
The next steamer from England will
be the Sarah Sands, for Portland,
Maine.
Prince Menschikoff informs the En-
psror that the damage done by the
