New YORK, Nov. l6.
The Asia has Just arrived, bringing the follow
ing important news
The following dispatch was received mt the Tor
egn Office from Lord Stafford DE Radcliffe, just
before the dispatch of the Asia:
CONsTANTINorLE, Oct. 18th, midnight. Tho
report of the English steamer Transport, which
left Balakawa on the evening of the 18th, con-
firms in great part, the information brought
this morning by the French ships. 1t appears
that the Russians attacked the posts in the vicn-
itv of Ralakawa on the 5th,-their numbers be-
ing about 10000; the attack was unexpected /;
the Turks gave way, and even left their guns,
which were seized by the Russians and were turn
Cd against them; the Scotch reformed in their
position, and other forces arriving, the Russians
were obliged to yield, they remained, however,
masters of their posts, from which they fired upon
the allies three regiments of the English light
cavalry, exposed to the Russians fire, suffered
INN ensey.
The French took part in the affair with admir-
abl. bravery.
The next day their position was attacked by a
body of 5000 Russians from the side of the town
of Balakawa. They repealed the enemy with
great slaughter.
The Russians loss must have been very Sc
we're.
1t was reported that the fire of the batteries of
the town had much sackencd, and according to
the reports of the wounded officers, the belief
continued that SebaStOpol would be in the hands
of the allies.
The siege and bombardment of Scbastopol was
going on with much regularity and success. The
loss of life great in the town that the all
was said to be tainted with the number of unbur-
led dead.
TIL, loss of the allies was small, and Lord Red
clife was undoubtedly in favor of Il prolonged
bombardment in preference to an immediate as
sault.
The Wcimess publishes the following:
