war. Sebastopol had not been taken; the
siege, however, was progressing slowly
but surely. -
The anxiety of the public in England
and France was intense, and the disap-

audible complaints.
Reliable accounts of the engagement at
Balaklava on the 25th ult., had been re-

far more disastrous to the English forces
than at first represented.
The Emperor Napoleon having with

BEFORE SEBAsroPoL, Oct. 10, 1854.
Monsieur LIE yesterday, at
sunrise, we opened fire in concert with
the English army, and. matters were go.
ing on we'll when the explosion of pow
der msgazine belonging TO battery,
which unhappily was large one, created
some disturbance to our attack. This eX-
plosion had more effect, as our batteries
were accumulated round the spot where
it took place. The enemy took advaL-
tags of it to increase their FIRE, and after
consulting the General commanding the
artillery, deemed it advisable tosuspend
our fire 10 repair our damage, and com
plete on the right, by new batteries near
err the English lines. our system of attack.
This delay certainly is much to be regret
ted, but it cannot be helped; and am ia
king every means to render it as short as
possible. The city has withstood the fire
much better than was expected. The en-
ciente, in its enormous development, in a
straight line carrying all that it can re-
ceive in heavy calibre from the fleet, al
lows it to prolong the struggle. On the
18th our troops took possession OF the pla-
teau situated in the front of the point Of
attack, called the Mast Bastion, and now
occupy it. This evening we construct
there a masked battery OF ~ guns, and,
if possible, second battery at the extreme
right above the declivity. All our means
OF attack are concentrated on this bpstion.
and will, l hope, soon clear it. with the
assistance Of the English batteries, which
take in the left flank.
Yesterday about 10 a. NJ, the Allied
fleets attacked the exterior batteries of
the place, bat have not yet received the

count of the results Of that attack. The
English batteries are in the best possible
condition. They have received nine new
mortars, which will have great effect
Yesterday, in the battery which surrounds

AUSTRIA AND PRUssIA.-It appears We
ry doubtful, after all, whether Austria
and Prussia will not have recourse to the
bloody arbitrament in the King lon OF
Poland. Russia has gathered 200, OOC
men facing the Austrian frontiers, while
Austria has embattled along hel frontiers
from Cracow to the Danube 200. 900, and
$4,000 in the Principalitiss. Both sides
show great activity.
The latest news in regard to Prussia, is
that on the eth ultimo, the Gar refused
an audience to the Prussian ambassador
at St. Petersburg.
As1A.-The only news with respect 10
the army in Asia is. that General Nicholas
is reported from St. Petersburg Nov. 4th.

and became quiet, at about previous rates
although some circulars quote a slight

In breadstuffs considerable advance
