ieuse anxiety in England and France. Lord
Raglan and Gen. Canrobert had sent the
most urgent demands TO their respective
Governments for immediate reinforcemenis.

been taken up for instant service and others
were wanted. The Alps sailed on the Ilth

A despatch from Menscmkoff, sent to Der.

yember, unusual activity having been obser-
yable IN the allied camp, doubtless prepara-
tons to storm, Gen. Lipandi, reinforced by
a corps sent By MenschIkoh, had attacked
the allied camp and killed eco men, The
report however, Is doubtful, as is, also, that
d practicable breach was opened in the walls
of Sebastopol on the same day.

which fought with admirable vigor, as well
as by the troops which were nearest TO the

numbered our force, boat retreat, with

whole day. Al the same time, Gen. Forey

"This brilliant day, which was not pur-
chased without considerable loss to the al
