inst. At Sevastopol the bombardment had
ceased, the ammunition of the allies being
exhausted But attacks on the Russian out
works and sorties from the garrison still
continued with quite as desperate fighting
Bs ever. In very sharp engagement the
French had taken Russian earthwork, with
number of light moztars and some two
hundred Russian prisoners but it is admit
ted on all hands that the allies have gained
no serious advantage and that the siege must
presently be abandoned. Of late the great
fort on the north side of the harbor has ia
ken some part in the operations. Its guns
are found to carry quite over the town and
to reach the allied intrenchments, proving
beyond doubt that if by chance the place
were taken it could not be held. How the
allies are to withdraw from the difficulty in
which they are placed is now the question !;
but a short time must settle it, Under these
circumstances Louis Bonaparte has prudent
ly decided not TO venture to the Crimea.-
This individual has Just escaped assassina-
tion at home, having been twice fired at by
an Italian named Pianori. The imperial
person was not touched and the assaiant
was secured. II seems that Pianori was
formerly soldier under Garibaldi, and of
course the suspicion is not wanting that he
was hired for the act by the revolutionary
leaders. 1t appears more probable however
that it was made solely on his own account.
The corporations of London and Birming-
ham have sent Louis Bonaparte congratula-
tions on his escape.-[N. Y. Tribune.
A week later news from Europe reached
us last night by the arrival of the America
at Halifax. Official advices from Sevasto-
pol are to the 10th, on which day the Rus
slams made bold Sortie but were repulsed.
The relative positions of the contestants are
unchanged, though the story is that the allies
are making slow but sure advances, and are
sure of success if not forced by the Russian
field army to raise the siege. It is said that
after the arrival of certain re-enforcements,
Gen. Canrobert will attack the Russian field
positions. The English army is in better
health. Four thousand Sandman troops had
arrived. The English press admit that all
hope of peace is gone, that Austria will
not aid them, and that Great Britain and
France have got to bear the burden alone
There was nevertheless a motion in parlia-
ment looking toward renewal of negotia-
tions. The English fleet in the Baltic is
working up toward Gothland. The London
papers tell story of Yankee speculation
in that quarter which is Characteristic if
not true. 1t is of a vessel with an alleged
cargo of cotton, but really laden with mus
kets and revolvers, getting into the Baltic
and safely to a Russian market before the
contraband goods were discovered. NJ.
Drouyn de pHuys, French minister of war,
has resigned, and is succeeded by Count
Walewski, late French minister to Great
Britain. The story that Count Buol has re-
signed is not confirmed. The very latest
war rumor is that Austria and all Germany
are on the point of declaring strict neu-
trality. Redschid Pasha has been super
seded as grand vizier by Mahomet Pasha.
The man who made target of Louis Napo-
leon, and proved himself very bad shot,
has been sentenced to death. Parliament
has passed bill abolishing the newspaper
stamp tax. Mr.. Layard's resolution inquir-

poIarily postponed, but the Roebuck COM
