At Vienna the prevalent opinion was thata few

THIRD DISPATCH.
FROM ANOTHER SOURCE.
More of the Last Great Battle before sebastopoI-

1t according tO tbo,
the Russians went forth and attacked the English DO
sion before SebastopOl on the 5lh of Nov A terri
BILE battle ensued, which lasted a whole day The
lighting was intense. A constant roar of cannon was
kept up from early morning until night. The Rus
SLAMS are reported to have lost eight thousand in kill
ed and the allies, by their statements five thou
rand. The field was literally covered with heaps Of
dead and dying, presenting terrible sight. Several
promnet officers both sides slain. The left
wing of the allies was attacked Immediately after
The French however, repused the enemy with loss
r of 1000 killed and wounded.
The Russian accounts say that they captured one
OF the enemies batteries and spiked their guns and
that the last engagement the French were repulsed
with tremendous slaughter.
SebastOpol still held out manfully, and was gradu
J ally being REINFORCED.
The accounts altogether show that the Russians
, in the engagements above mentioned had decidedly
the advantage and off best, and that the allies
/ are much weakened and in an extremely perlous
position
The allies undoubtedly in an unenviable and
dangerous position. SO much that they see he he

have been sent 10 England and France for supplies
Of troops, for which purpose all available means Of
transport have been called into requisition Every
ship that could be had including the Cunard steamer
Europa, has been chartered to convey troops to the

Intense anxiety prevails throughout England and
France in reference the uncertain and critical con.
dltion of their armies at Sebastopol. 1t is evident
that there are fearful appehensons to their ulti-
r tmate fate There are many who think the allies
are in critical position and that serious repuse
total defeat may befa them.
RUSSIA AND AUsTRIA.--It is now statedShat Rus

on the basis of the four conditions. This, however II
is believed, only intended to Austria from the
Western powers.
