brvKRrooI, Nov. 6.-Intelligenee
Of the seige, are received to the 29th.
The official dispatches of Dundas,
Canrobert and Hamelin, detailing the
operations of the Allies on the 18th,
(the first day of the bombardment, }
are published. Hamelin says If the
Russians had not closed the entrance to
the harbor by sinking ships, the Allies
squadron, after the first fire, could have
successfully run in and placed them
selves in communication with the land
forces without, perhaps, greater loss
than they have now actually suffered
The English loss on ship board were
two Lieutenants killed, and sixteen Off
GERS wounded; in all forty-four men
killed, two hundred and sixty-six
wounded. The ships were considera-
bly, damaged by shot and shells. The
French less was thirty killed and one
hundred and eighty-six wounded.
On the 26th, the Russians, 5000
strong, made sortie from the-direction
Of Calacklava, but were repulsed, 1000
nen-being left dead upon the field.
According to the latest telegraphic
adyices, the attack upon the Notifications
from the sea had not been renewed.
The bombardment from the heights
was vigorously continued, and the forts
Quarantine and Constantine had been
razed, and the southern tower and
works demolished. The town, it is
stated, is on fire in three different pla-
ees. 1t is evident that Sevastopol
could not hold out much longer. Ac-
cording to one account, an assault was
to have been made on the I'd or Sd Of
November
Telegraphic dispatches published in
London on the morning of the 18th,
states that the town of Sebastopol is in
ruins, that the French Chasseurs kill
all the artillerymen who show them
selves at the embrasures; and that dur
ing all night shower of balls is poured
into the forts, leaving the enemy no
possibility of repairing the disaster
The Russian feet sought shelter under
the buildings alongside the quays, but
the Allies were about to fire upon them
from new batteries with red hot balls.
A London Gazette extraordinary was
published on the morning of the 7th,
with further dispatches from Lord Rag
Ian. Lord Dunklin was taken prisoner
by the Russians during the recent en-
gagement. The Russians had all with
drawn from the forts in the vicinity of
Balaklava. Raglan states that Mems
chikof was not in Sevsstopol, but was
with the main body of his army on the
plains north of Buchriserai.
1t is stated that the French lost 200
men by explosions while the English
loss is under one hundred killed and
wounded.
As the British and French forces have
been much cut up by disease and losses
reinforcements were urgently called for
from England and France, and were
forthcoming. During the past two
weeks, four thousand men had been
sent from England, including among
them detachments of the regiment re-
Gently from Canada. The reinforce
men:s make the number of British in
fantry in the Crimea thirty thousand
The French reinforcements are on
still larger scale.
Thirteen of the twenty-four iron
cylinders ordered at Woolwich, for con-
Feyanee to Sevastopol, to blow up the
suDken ships at the mouth of the har-
Dor, have been completed and shipped
for their destination. Each cylinder
contains one thousand pounds of pow
der, which is to be ignited by battery.
Twelve gun-boats, with two heavy
guns in each, have been ordered by the
War Office, together with forty floating
batteries, with seventy guns each-all
to be ready in the spring for an attack
upon Cronstad.
A camp OF ten thousand men is to be
formed at Aldesbit, for a spring cam
paign in the Baltic
Russia has two hundred thousand
men facing the Austrian frontier, while
Austria has embattled along her from
tier, from Crawcow to the Danube, two
hundred thousand men, and twenty
five thousand in the Principalities.-.
Both sides show great activity.
The latest news with regard to Prus-
sis is, that on the 27th ult., the Gear
refused entrance to the Prussian Am
bassador at St. Petersburg.
1t is Gen. Nicholas who is reported
TO have gained a victory over Schamyl,
near Frosenara, on the frontier of Cir
eassia.
The order prohibiting Mr.. Soule from
