The telegraphc dispatches received in London,
relative to the operations in the Crimea range
from the 9Th to the 25th ut, from which we gather
that at the latest date tho siege was vigorously
continued, and the allied troops were in excellent
4 spirits The position Of the allied armies had been
very much strengthened, particularly towards the
right Hank. Au contraire to Prince Menschkoff,
states that, up to the Gath, there was nothing
| new. The abombardment continued but feebly.
The Russians appear to have made several sorties
upon the French, but with very little success hay
ing been on each occasion repulsed Flagsof truce

the Emperor, for Russian captain. Reinforce
ments were daily arriving in the Crimea
Our correspondent at southampton writes on
1 the 9th instant as follows:
A The details OF the losses of the allies during the
great gale in the Black Sea had been received and
i appear in the London journals. Although very
severe, they are not so great as was ANTICIPATED
Fourteen ships, principally sailing transporta, were
| wrecked near Sebastopol. Two ships-oEthe-line
fFrench) and thirteen vessels Of different clasaes
were driven on shore near Eupatoria. Some OF

prevent their falling into the hands Of the enemy.
The Cossacks fred upon the crews, whilst at
1 tempting to escape. One Russian ffigate sunk
near Sebastopol. A vast quantity Of winter cloth

lost on these Transports. The loss Of life was fright
| full on the part of the crews OF these vessels.

from General Canrobert, dated Nov. a. Nothing
OF importance had occurred since the 18th. The
batteries of the allies had not discontinued their

The reported battle on the 18th turns out to have
been mere sorte Of the Russians, who were
driven back with the lossof 800 killed. the French
loosng forty men.
| Prince Menschikotf states that on the oath the
fire Of the allies had become very feeble. But
despatch from Constantinope states that the BON,
barlmem had been renewed. The allies were sur
rounded and protected by an enormous circumval-
| lation, consisting Of curtans with advanced bas-
i tions and mmense eafthworks in triple lines
The French had repelled several sortes, and there
were constant affairs between the pickets. Fresh
! rcnforcements were arriving daily. The men were
busy huting themselves. Flags Of truce had
passed between the generals, and ID was agreed to
exchange Lord Dunkellen, by desire Of the Car,

In an attack on Eupatoria, the Russians had
been driven back with considerable loss.

| tie, were repulsed by the British who seized and
kept possession Of a battery Of nine guns.
After the departure Of the English Baltic feet
| from Nargen, several of the Russian lne-ofbattle
ships put to sea for the purpose Of meeting with
the squadron at Helsingfors They had scarcely
got fairly out Of the harbor ere a heavy gale came
on. The flagship lost her rudder and three Of
the ships in company got on shore. Steamers
towed them oil, and conducted them back again
| to port .
The Phare de Ia Manche mentions the departure
from Cherbourg Of the Trident ship-ofthe-line,
which has been converted into transport for the
conveyance of stores to the Black Sea The entire
French Baltic squadron, which to winter at
Cherbonrg, is to proceed TO Toulon, with the ex.
ception Of the Austerlitz which requires repairs.
