counts are sill conhictsng, but the English say

SECOND DIsPArDH.-The news by the Asia,
frOn tie seat of war, leaves matters in great
obscurity, The Russian dispatches say that
the Allies suffered TWO severe defeats, namely
that the French had their works destroyed
and sixteen guns spiked, and the Eagish Cav
airy were routed, with loss of five hundred
horse, and, of course, many men.
THIRD DEspATcH-The following Tele-
graphic dispatch was received at the Foreign
Office just before the departure Of TIM Asia,
for Lord STAFFORD de Radcliffe CONSTANT
nope, Oct %, midnight.-The Captain of
the English steamer Transport, which left Bal
aklava on the evening of the Goth, confirms to
great extent the information brought this
morning by French ship. 1t appears that
the Russians attacked the forts in the vicinity
of Balaklava, on the 18th, their number be-.
ing about $4,000. The attack was unexpec-
ted. The Cossacks preceded the infantry
To resist them at first, were Ottoman troops
and some Scotch regiments. The Turks gave
way and even left their guns, which the Rus
slams seized and turned against them. The
Scotch however, remained firm in their posi-
ton. Other forces arrived, and the Russia ms
were obliged to yield. The Russians remain
ed. nevertheless, masters of two forts, from
which they fired upon the Allies. Three reg
iments Of English cavalry exposed to the cross
fire of the Russian batteries, suffered severely.
The French took part in the flair with ad.
mirable bravery. On the next day this po-
sition was attacked by 5000 Russians, as well
from the Sebastobol side as that Of Baakiaya
they wore repalsed with great slaughter. The
loss of the Russians must have been great.
| 1t is affirmed that the fires Of tho batteries
Of the town had much slackened, and accor-
ding to the reports of the wounded officers who
had arrived at BayukdeIe, the belief was still
firmly entertained that Sebastopol would soon
be in the hands of the Allies.
Among the names Of the killed and woun.
ded we find no general officers.

camp of the English and took the four redoubts

time such powerful cavalry attack was made
that it probably cost the English half their
light cavalry. Lord Cardigan, who conman.
ded the cavalry escaped with great difficulty.
Lord Dunkellin was taken prisoner by the
Russians
