POLITICAL NEWS.
The advices from the seat of war at the
Crimea arc to the Both ult., and thus far some
what indefinite.
There had been but little change in the as.
pect of affairs.
Sebastopol wa still holding out, and tho
Russians fighting with great vigor.
The bombardment continues, and the invest.
ment progressing, though With much less sue
cess to the French and English than they had
anticipated.
The announcement that the city would prob
ably fall into their hands by the 9th has
proved altogether untrue. Indeed, that much
desired event upon the part of the combined
forces seems to be not only further off, but
highly uncertain. They had stormed some
fortresses, though, after being silenced, the
Russians again resumed operations in them,
and were pouring q deadly fire into the
enemy.
Reinforcements were daily being received
by the Russians, and instead of being weaker,
they were growing stronger.
The battle of Balaklava was a desperate
one, and the English especially lost heavily
in dead and wounded So also the French
The Russians had unquestionably great ad-
vantage, though losing many soldiers
Several fires had broken out in Sebastopoi
from hot shot, but most of them finally extin-
guished.
The Russian soldiers were in good spirits,
and were firm in the belief of being able to
maintain their position.
Reinforcements were arriving to the allies,
though slowly.
Some of the French and English vessels had
been seriously damaged by hot shot, shells,
and cannon balls from the Russian batteries.
The affairs between Austria and Prussia
and Russia are still in a very unsettled and
uncertain condition. The Emperor Nicholas
has made no concessions, and says he has none
to make to eli her Of these Powers Russia
therefore, stands in a hostile attitude towards
them. No positive steps, however, have been
taken which would indicate immediate hos
tilities
Affairs in Hungary were much unsettled,
and there were indications of a revolution.
Intense anxiety prevails throughout Eng
N eff to Foi
Palmerston has gone to Paris to visit Louis
Napoleon, as is supposed for the purpose of
consulting with refer ence to the condition of
affairs in the East. This visit has given rise
to muck speculation.
Affairs in Spain were comparatively tran
quill
Great excitement prevails throughout France
on the war question, and there were some ap-
prehensions of internal disturbances.
Mr.. Soule left Paris for Madrid, and was re.
specially treated by the authorities. The af-
fair with reference to the refusal to permit
him to pass has been fully, satisfactorily, and
amicably adjusted.
Mr.. Mason, our Minister, acted promptly,
DC cldedly, and with great credit to himself in
this matter.
Affairs on the Danube were quiet.
The army under Omar Pasha was in active
operations.
No further fighting in Asia.
There is no other general news of moment
The English and French journals are full of
details in reference to movements before Sc
bastopol, in which their arms and achievements
are especially glorifed; but taking even their
own accounts, it would seem they have made
no great progress. Russian details are equally
favorable to their side of the question. Ger
tain it is, Sebsstopol is not taken, and is not
likely to be soon.
Affairs in Italy were quiet.
The wounded at Constantinople were doing

The allied troops were suffering severely
from sickness and cold.
The Cholera was gradually abating through
out Europe.
