the Crmea do not differ materially from those taken out by
the America 1t is that small breach has been made
in one of the forts by the aesso small indeed that the
Anglo French forces have the desire curiosity
10 enter it, On the other hand the Russians have made
another successful sortc In this sorte they destroyed
French battery spiked large number Of guns, and also
succeeded in making several prisoners. Among the number
is Lord Dunkeln. Although Metropolitan papers
that the siege of Sebastopo progressing in the most
favorable manner there faint suspicion in the public mind
