ANOTHER GREAT BATTLE.
None of the details of the great battle of the 9Th
of November, of which have jnat had telegraphic
accounts by the Baltic, can be received until the
arrival of the next steamer. Both as regards the
forces engaged and its sangunary results, this con-

London correspondent of the Phiadelphia American
makes some comments upon the telegraphic reports
and communicates some information Of their effect
in England which will be new to our readers. We
therefore copy portion of his letter.
LONDON, Now a. 1854.Another great battle has been
foughtone which, if possible, must surpass that Of Al
despatch has been received by the French Govern
ment from Gen. Canrobert, dated the 9th Of November
giving brief account Of serious battle before Scbasto
pol He states that the Russian army swollen by rein
forcements and with the prestige Of being under the eyes
of the Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas sous of the
Gear, attacked the English right who maintained the ac
ton with that remarkable soidity" which is pecu-
liar to them. They were supported by Gen. Bosquet
with admirable effect, and the result the retreat
of the Russians with loss Of eight nine thousand men,
AT the same time the garrison made sorte on the
French under Gen. Forey, who drove them back with
the loss of one thousand men,
Opposed to this is despatch from Prince Menschikof
who claims for two sores the 9th and 6th
and admits the loss both Sides considerable.
He speaks oo Of the French following the Russians to
the walls and attempting an assault which repulsed
by the Russians with immense loss to the French
This reads in confirmation of the despatch from General
Canrobert for the of the Russians who admit
ted the French following them the very gates of Sebas
topo is certainly Of very negative kind.
Gen. Canobert speaks Of the action of the 5th hav-
ing lasted the whole day. and that while it covered the
Allied armies with glory, was not without loss and the
fact s that these continued victories are from their
losses likely to place in very critical position the Allied
armies The losses sustained by the Russians must be
something enormous but they have received large rein
forccments and are still receiving them
The question is, will the Allied armies be able to
dure the ncessant fatigue they have undergone since the
of the sege The duties of attacking and
being attacked constantly the Of artillery perpetu
ally going on, rough provision and reugher accomoda-
tion fail tell the strongest and the public
feeling fast falling into state Of dependency from the
Of the desperate and continuous exerons of the
Allies, and fear that reinforcements win reach them
in time be of service TO them Amomens reflection WILL
however sweep away these forebodngs Upwards ten
thousand French troops their way the Cri
mea if not already there having left Marsees someten
days since Four thousand British troops also en-
route and cannot bo long way behind. Vast quantities
of military stores and munitions Of have been dis
patched and by this time must be at their destination.
Twenty thousand of Omer Pachas troops ordered
to Varna and said to be embarking the 2sth
that they would have probably been in time for the ac-
ton of the 5h if their services had been required With
these additions the Allies will at least be able to hold
their until sufficient aid reaches them not only
take possession Of sebas.opo but to clear the Crme Of
Russians.
