The Siege Of Setostopol7he Battle Of the 5-Gredt Loss
Of English Genera, 06icers-Canrobert Wounded
Rumms-Lord Palnerston--Roglon Field Marshal
The German Pouers.
In consequence of the bad weather in the Medi-
teanean the details OF the great battle under the
walls Of sebss.,pol, which terminated in great
victory for the allies, have net yet reachedus The
Tel6maque is however, telegraphed from srseilles
and her letters, which bear the date of CONSTANT
nople, Nov. 10, may be hourly expected in town.
We know by telegraph what our losses were in
the battle of the 9Th, by some called Battle of Sc
bastopol," by others "Battle of Inkermanu"-the
combat having taken place near the latter point.
regret to state that the English loss in officers
was very great. Four generals were killed, viz :
Sir George Cathcart, Snangways, (artilery) Golde,
ard Toirens, and Generals Sir George Brown, Ben
timex, Butler, and Adams, wounded. Sir George
Brown has undergone amputation of the arm, and is
reported to have since died. but this requires con-
frmaiion. Brgadisr General Butler is STAGE re port
Ell to have succumbed, and Sir de Lacy Evans is
also so i'll that he will have to come to England; 38
English officers were killed, &c wounded, 442 rank
and file were killed. and $50 wounded. The French
he'd l general killed, 2 wounded; IA officers killed
and q wounded. The English Guards alone are
said to have lost 20 officers.
General Canr0bert is wounded.
The Moniteur announces that, according to q
Geographic dispatch by the Telemaque, General
Canrobert has forced Prince Napoleon to leave the
camp, to restore his health. The Prince had been
very i'll, and the fatigues Of the battle Of the 9Th
had made MIN worse. II was hoped that be would
be sufficiently recovered soon to lead the assault
Of Sebastopol. General Canrobert states that the
battle on the 9th most obstinate and bloody, and
thar the Russian loss was enormous.
Everything was ready for the assault the allies
only awaited new achievements.
BY way of Russia we learn, by despatch from
Prince Menschikof, that up to the 18th nothing of
Importance had taken place since the 9Th. Letters
from Paris state that on the 9th the Russians re-
newed the attack on the English right wing, and
the result of the combat was not known.
warn you against believing the many rumors
circulated here and at Paris, some of which will
doubtless reach you. One is to the effect that
Sebastopol is in the hands of the allies another
thst the siege is raised another that the entire
English and French army has been cut to pieces.

large reinfcroements have actually reached the
allies: that the best spirit and enthusiasm prevail
among the men, who are eager for the assault and
that they Are all willing to die rather than to re-
treat
As regards the intentions of our government,
may add that far from withdrawing, they are send
ing out csrgoes of warm clothing, and huts for
erecting permanent camp in the Crimes, if neces-
ssIy. England is also straning every nerve to send
out more men, There will be no mail for the United
States on the 1st Of December, as the steamer is
chartered by the government to take out troops to
lie Esst.
As regards France. Louis Napoleon cannot nfYord
TO be defeated. He will sooner send every soldier
in France to tire Crin,ea than retreat.
The visit of Lord Palmerston to the Emperor of
The French is much spoken of in clubs and political
circles. Rumors are again current that the noble
visc,unt III be yet Prime Minister, and that Alb r.
deem will retire. The latter is accused of want OF
energy equally with Dundas. 1t is remarkable that
tie Queen, in order of the day approving OF the
conduct Of the army and navy, does not mention
the name OF Admiral Dundas. She alludes to the
gallant conduct of Admiral Lyons ard the fleet, and
omits DuDdas altogether. He will probably imme.
diately retire.
Lord Raglan has been raised to the rank of Field
Marshal. The vacant commissions caused by death
the field of battle will be filled up by officers on
the spot, who shared the dangers of the combat.
Sir Colin Campbell will be sde General of divi.
sion. Many of the privates who behaved well have
received officers commissions.
The Times is beginning to be savage in its at.
tscks upon the German Powers, and the vacilating
conduct of both Austria and Prussia are sy upheld
to contempt. Austria has sent her final instruc.
tons to Baron Prokesch, her envoy at the German
Diet. They are as follows:--
The Diet will have first to declare that an attack
against Austria he il against the territory Of the En-
pre- against the troops in the Principates. will
oblige all Germany to support Austria with all its means.
twill have secondly to declare that the Gcrma mic
Confederation recognises, inscmuch it is European
Power the four preliminary points in their essential
contents the bases proper to open the for the
establishment Of an assured state of peace and right in
Europe: but that, German Power, il approprates

Thirdly it will have to recognize the existence of the
danger OF attack, and consequently to charge the
military commission to make the necessary propositions,

federation may be ready the proper time ii required
