The Morning Post, Of Vienna has the
following despatch:

The whole garrison Of Sevastopol, amount

lies had the advantage.
| II was reported in Paris that the French
government had received dispatch an
nouncng tina, the s,orming Of Sevastopol
commenced on the 5lh, under very favorable
circumstances.
Another dispatch says that on the 4th
the allies batteries were but $50 yards from
the walls, and had effected q practicable
breech.
From Jassey to the 10Th it had been tel
egraphed that the movement Of the Ottoman
troops towards NJ oldavia and the Prulh con-
tinues with great activity, and produces
much sensation in the prInci pal,ies.
Omer Pasha was expected in person on

schako off has officially announced to Count
Buel, ,ba, Russia is prepared to treat direc,
with Austria on The laws of the four condi-
lions. This is considered as palpable at

and the Western powers.
On the 18th the Germanic COME deration
was to occupy itself with the war question.
All the smaller German States were putting
their armies on a war footing.
The statement is that Austria will not,
under any circumstances, take the field
against Russia until spring, and Russia is
said to have expressed willingness to with
draw her troops from the Austrian frontier
during the winter, and place them in some
other equally advantageous strategic posi-
lion. Austria, while accepting This sccom-
mediation will continue her ornaments.

Tough, from the 26,h Of October to the 5.h
Of November. the interval is described as
one incessant combat. =.
II is reported tina. Lord Raglan has sus-
pended the Earl Of Cardigan from his COM
mand for his rashness in the charge which
resulted so disaslrously at Balaklava.
At Vienna the prevalent opinion was that
a few more such victories as these claimed
by the allies on the 4,h and 5.h will com
pei them to raise the siege. Menschikof
appears TO be of the same opinion, for in his
despatch 10 Prince Paskiewich he says: -

wing Of the allies was attack ed Immediately
after. The French, however, repulsed the
enemy with loss Of 1000 killed end woun-

their guns, and that in the last engagement
The French were repuIsed with tremendous
slaughter
'Sevastopol still held out manfully, and
was gradually being REINFORCED.
