harbor to serve batteries, had been sunk by
the fire of the allies The English had brought
some long guns to bear the ferry.
Lord Dunkellin's family had been informed
by the English Government that his reported
capture is not true-or at least doubtful.
1t is foreseen that one or more pitched bat ]
ties must be fought in the Criinea, and there
fore, the allied commanders have determined
to reduce Sebastopol, if possible. by lombard
ment, and thus economise the lives of their
troops

by the Russians He begged the Russian
General TO send intelligence to the French
camp that he was prisoner, and not killed
The Russian told him to go himself, when he

THE DANUBE.

! has gwen orders to the Russian troops who
had not yet passed the Dniester, TO make a
retrograde movement, and to take up posi-

PROGRESS OF NEGOTIATIONS.
The most contradictory reports are current
as to the present state of negotiations. Two
! Austrian notes are yet October 29th) unan-
swered by Count Nesselrode. A prevalent
impression is that collective note will be for
warded TO ST. Petersburg by Austria, Prussia
and the German States. Austria will GER
tainly not, unless compelled, come to an open
rupture with Russia, unless she is confident
of the support of Prussia and the Germanic
Governments. Russia continues to use all
means to prevent Prussia siding with Austria
Consequently the policy of Austria is to gain
time. and she is therefore well disposed to en-
ter upon the protracted negotiations which
would arise from any mediation in which the
middle German States are parties.
There is talk of note from Count Nessel-
rode to Prussia, stating that Russia is prepar-
ed for all contingencies, and will under all
circumstances maintain her traditional poll
cy in the East Even if Sebastopol should
fall. and the Crimes. be lost, Russia will not
relinquish any rights hitherto acquired by
Treaty. Russia, Count Nesselrode says, is
the mightiest power in the East, and in spite
of any disasters which may befal her, she viii
continue to be So Although Russia has not
yet brought her principal military power into
the field, the Western Powers have had NO
: cause to triumph.
