NEWS OF THE WAR.
The news by the Asia from the scat
of war leaves matters in great obscurity.
TheRussian dcspat ches say that the allies
suffered two severe defeats namely,
that the French had their works destroy
ed and sixteen guns spiked, and the Eng.
fish cavalry we're routed, with loss of
five hundred horses. and of course, many
men. having been attacked by Mcnschi-
koff at Balaklava. The Anglo. French
reports do not give any explicit denial ;
they only say that the Russian reports
are exaggerated and improbable.
The allies state that two Russian
ships of war were destroyed in the har.
Dor, and that the Quarantine Fort had
been silenced, and a bastion of Fort
Constantine blown up by the explosion
of magazine.
1t is, at least, evident that very sharp
fighting took place.
The following Geographic despatch
was received at the Foreign Office, just
before the departure of the Asia. from
