fighting before S~ebastopol. Dispatches
from both Russians and British say
that the siege progresses with regularity,
and preparations are making for an as
sault. Both parties are in want of rein
forcements-the besiegers worse than
the besieged: The Russians begin to

The Austrian note in reply to the
Prussian note of the 30th of October,
had arrived at Berlin. As far as con-
tents had ~transpired, Austria still gladly
accepts Prussia's promise of support in
the Principalities, but lays great stress
on having this assistance viewed as a
logical and necessary consequence of
the treaty of April goth, rather than as
a new arrangement.

tions being made for an assault. Seal

perate kind. 1t is said the Russians

back. A sanguinary and obstinate strug-
gle ensued which was prolonged until
