FURTHER FOREIGN NEWS.

Hatitar, Oct. 26.-I send you the following
additional intelligence received by the Niagar,f
Messrs. Richardson 4 Brothers, agents of tb.
Liverpool and Philadelphia line of steamships
notify the public that the wreck seen by tie
barque Mary Morris must have been that If
the Shandon, burned at sea on the passage fro a
Glasgow to Montreal, and not the City of Glfs-
gov.
English papers by the Niagara are intere.t-
ing, but really contain little news, except in -
lation to the war. :,
private despatch says that two breach IS
were made in Quarantine on the 8th, aid
another, as reliable, states that no bombaSd-
ment had taken place to the 8th The Frensh
and English Generals have officially notified
their Governments, that on September 23d, Isl
| mediately on the reception of the news of the
battle of Alma Menschikoff sunk five of his
line-ofbattle ships and two frigates, in eight or
ten fathoms water-thus completely blocking
| up the entrance to the harbor of Sebastopol,
and preventing the possibility of an attack by
sea. These ships were sunk with all their guns
and stores on board, and rigging standing.
| The English are much incensed at this exne-
dient, which has contributed to cause the gene
rails to change their place of operations, and to
attack the south instead of the north side OF
the city.
| 1t is said that the Russians have likewise
sunk ships across the straits of Yeuikle.
! A letter in the Times suggests that the pow
erful iron steamer Simoom which is equivalent
to a force of 1000 tons, should be employed as
steam battering-ram, to force passages over
the sunken ships. This expedient will proba-
bly, be tried.
| From the present disposition of the allied
forces, between Balaklava and Cape Cherso-
nese, it seems that the north side of the harbor
is not invested, and that the whole country north
Of Sebastopol is now evacuated by the allied
forces, which, it is likely, passed through it.
This suppostion is confirmed by statement
in dispatches from Admiral Dundas, dated Sep
| TENDER 18th, where he says, that having sent
the steamers Albion and Vesuvius to Alma, to
| collect the wounded Russians, and convey them
under flag of truce to Odessa, the British hos
| pitfalls being full, his forces were threatened by
a force of 600 Russians, and had to re-embark
under cover of the ships guns.
All the allied reserves had left Varna fog the
| Crimea.
Two French and one English regiment .rom
Malta will occupy the Pireus.
| The Russians are reported to have Blow up
| the fortresses of Anapa and Souchoun Eale
and sent their garrison of $4,000 men to fein
force Menschikoff.
| Odessa advices Of the 18th state that Mel ach
koff's right wing was at Bakchssaria, an his
| centre at Simperofol, where renforcements rom
Perekop will concentrate.
The last advices from the Black Sea are that
Sebastopol was invested by the allied tfTspps
and that the guns of the siege train were Slay
| ing upon the walls.
Prussia is reported to have expressed its will
ingness 10 act with Austria. This declafatior
is in consequence of energetic notes from
