Gen. Pclissier telegraphs on the 10TH as
follows:
For some days past, rumOrs OF an inten-
ded attack ON the part of the Russians had
excited our attention, and this morning at
day-break, they realized their intention
against our lines on the Tchernaya but in
: spite of the movement of imposing masses
which had been collected duringng the night
the enemy were repulsed with great vigor
by the troops forming the divisions of Gen
erals Herbillon, Canava, Francheux, and
Morris The Sardinians placed on our
right fought bravcly The Russians left a
large number Of dead Oh the field, and we
made many prisoners. The Russians were
in complete retreat on MackenzieS Hill
when our reserve came up, and with the aid
of our brave allies, particularly the English
cavalry, the enemy received severe blow.
Our losses although much less numer-
Gus than those Of the enemy, are not yet
known. PEIlSSlER.
The announcement that the allied feet in the Ba
tic had destroyed Sweaborg, taken out by the
Hermann; but the Canada brings subsequent details
which modify the first accounts.
The despatch of Admiral Dundas is less highly
colored than that of the French Admiral and is as
follows:
OFF SwEAgoRG, Aug. ll.-Sweaborg was at
tackled by the mortar and gunboats of the allies Oh
the morning of the 9Th The firing ceased early this
l morning. Heavy explosions and very destructive
fires were produced. In few hours nearly all the
principal buildings on Nargo, and many more on
Swar,e, including those of the dockyard and arsenal
were burned. Few casualties have occurred, and
no lives lost in the allied fleets. DUNDAs.
1t will be observed that in the above no mention
has been made of the Russian ships.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. IA Russian des-
patch of the 1lth says the allied fleets opened the

kept it up with energy until now"
DANTzIc, Aug. 16.-The allied squadron return.

the allied ships were seriously injured Loss very
trifing
Advices from konigsberg state that when the at
tack on Sweaborg began, the Grand Duke Constan-
5 tine asked permission from the Emperor to attack
the diminished feet before CrOnstadt, but the Empe-
rOr refused.
Sweaborg seems not be in possession of the al
lies and it is not key to any important position
its destruction must be regarded detached enter
prise, and not any part Of any comprehensive ope
ration. Its successful bombardment, however, has
had the effect to revive the spirits of the fleet, and
to satisfy expectations at home.
