Chomutoff, Lipandi and Korff.
The entire infantry force of the Russians
at Sevustopol is $4,000, and the cavalry and
= artillery will swell the number to 100000
men.
The best that can be said for news on the
part OF the allies, is that they have received
. a succession Of hard fights, have been victo-
{ rious--each of which had cost as much as if
they had been defeated At tke same time
. closely have these affairs been drawn that
u the Russians equally claim an advantage.

The struggle lasted the whole day. At
y the same time General Forty was compelled
. to repuse sorie made by the garri son on
- his position, and under his energetic COM

This brilliant day which was not Iurcha-
$ sed without considerable loss 20 the allies
y does the greatest honor to our arms. The
siege continues with regularity.
j. Up to Tuesday afternoon, the 18th, no
official accounts had been received by the
English government from lords Raglan Stat
ford de Radcliffe relative TO the action of
y" the 5th; but the advices received at Liver
!, pool on the morning o: the 9Th, supply a
IL few additional particulars. The right wing
10 of the English army which was attacked by
. the Russians, consisted of foot guards and
a, a, the I'd, Sd, and 4th divisions.
II At Vienna the prevalent opinion was that
u few more such victories would compel the
. allies to raise the seige. Menchikof in a
y dispatch to Paskewich, says it will be inn
;" possible for the allies to continue the seige,
: and will continue to chastise their tenn

The London Times correspondent tele-
graph that Canrobert had assured the French
government, that the Russians were so
u weakened in the affair of the 9TH, that for
ten days they would not bc in position to
i resist assu'ts on the town, and that he meant
to make the attempt. The correspondent
states the loss of the allies at 5000 English,
. French and Turks.
: A telegraphic dispatch, dated ST. Peters
burg, 18th, states that Menschikof reports
a to the Emperor, under date of 5th Nov, from
- Sebastopol, that on the 9Th the garrison
}" made two sorties, one against the right flank
which was successful and resulted in the
u capture OF one of the English batteries, the
guns of which were spiked, great loss on
Z both sides. The second sortie was also sue
cessful, the Russians spiked 10 guns; imme-
y diately afterwards division os French in
fantry was ordered to pursue the retiring
Russians, and while attempting to mount to
