| By THE STEAMER CANADA.
| A dispatch from Halifax to the same paper
gives somewhat fuller account of the Cansda's
news than that already published by u.s. We
subjoin the more interesting portions.
Operations in the Baltic.
The announcement that the Allied feet in the
Baltic had destroyed Sweaborg, was taken out
4 by the Hermann, but the Canada brings sub
seouent details, which modify the first accounts,
The following is the first dispatch on the sub
ieot. from the French Admiral:
1 ts0N BOARD THE Jo1Nvn.LE, Aug H.
The bombardment Of Sweaborg BY the Al
n lied squadr0ns has been attended with success
/ An immense conAagration, lasting forty. Eve
hours, has destroyed nearly all the store houses
and magazines Of the arsenal, which is COM
plete ruin. Various powder magazines and
stores Of prcjectiles blew up. The enemy has
received terrible blow, and suffered an enor-
nous loss. Cur loss is insignificant in men,
and nothing whatever in material. The crew
are enthusiastic PEEAUD."
i The Dispatch Of Admiral Dundas is less highly
colored, and is as follows:
Orr SwEABoRa, August IL.
"Sweaborg was attacked by the mortar and
J gunboatsof the Allied squadron on the morn
ing Of ths9th. The firing ceased very early
this morning. Heavy explosions and very de-
structiyefres were produced In few hours
nearly all the principal buildings on Vargot,
, and many more on Swarte. including those Of
!, the Dock Yard and Arsenal, were burned. Few
casualties have occurred, and no lives lost in
tie Allied feet. Signed, DuNDAs.'
DAaTzo, 10th. -- The Allied squadron re-
turned 10 Nargen from Sweaborg on the 18th
i None Of the Allied ships were seriously dam
aged. The British casualties were-killed,
!, none; wounded, two officers and thirty men
n The French loss is equally trifing.
Il Sweaborg seems not to be in possession of the
Allies, and as it is not key to any important
position Its destruction must be regarded as q
detached enterprise, and not as any part of any
comprehensive operation. Its successful bonn
bardment, however, has had the effect to revive
the spirits Of the feet, and to satisfy expecta-
] tions at home
II The Crimea. IS
The news from the Crimea is important, a
grand battle having been fought on the Tcher-
maya. The British Government received the
following Dispatch:
VARNS, August 16 THE Russians attacked
the position at the Tchernsya this morning at
day break, in great force. The action lasted
about three hours, but they were completely
repulsed BY the French aud Sardinians.
SEcosD DIsPATcH One ek-The Rus
sian attack this morning was under the COM
. mand ofLiprandi, with from fifty to sixty thou
sand men. Their loss Is estimated at from a 600
to 1000, and about 400 prisoners taken. The
loss on the side of the Allies was very small.
Pelissier telegraphs on the 10th, as follows:
For some days past rumors Of an intended
attack on the part OF the Russians mad excited
