HALIFAX. July 5.
The steamer America arrived at Hal
flax yesterday afternoon, with regular
dates from England. The news is scan
ty and important.
The French and English attacked
Redan on the 18th ult., and were re-
pulsed with great slaughter. The de-
tails have not transpired.
Large new French loan is immediate.
In the. English Parliament Roebuck
moved aeensure.
Intelligence received BY private but
fragmentary advices, say that the Eng
lish lost no fewer than four thousand
men. including Gen. Campbell and sew
enty officers.
Lord Raglan's dispatch and the news
papers correspondence are at hand, de-
scribing the gallant capture of the Nam
elon and the quarries. The main facts
have been already stated with general
correctness.
The allies have made an unsuccessful
attempt to storm Sevastopol. The most
sinister rumor prevailed in regard to the
transaction. By some accounts the
English loss is set down at 1000 men,
but the report is believed to be much
exaggerated.
The following account is the only off,
cial notification of the event: "Lord
Panmure regrets to have to announce
that he has received information that
the English troops attacked the Redan,
and the French the Malakoff towers, at
daylight on the morning of the 18th,
without the success which has hitherto
attended our efforts. Both the French
and ourselves have suffered"
Several advices from Pelissier to the
French Government are to the same eff
feet. Private accounts published in the
London Standard, say that the loss of
British officers in killed and wounded
amounts to no less than seventy
Among the killed are General Sir j..
Campbell, Colonel Yea, and Col. Shad-
forth. The greatest portion of the loss
was experienced in ravine, where a
powerful and unsuspected battery was
opened upon the troops. The allies lost
by the Russians springing mine, and
during the confusion they re-captured
the Mamelon tower.
A dispatch from Bucharest, via Wen
ma, confirms the story that an expedi-
ton has been undertaken against Pere-
kop.
The Russian account of the successes
of the allies in the sea of Azoff is pub
hshed. Gortscbakoff confirms the sue
Icesses claimed by the allies, but says
that the operations against the sea OF
Azof were expected. The stores OF
grain destroyed were private property,
and not intended for the use of the Rus
sian army. The correspondence relates
the horrible atrocities perpetrated by
the French and Turks at Kertsch. A
dispatch from Varna, dated June 18th,
which was retarded on the way, says
that the Russians had made an unsuc-
cessful attempt on Kars, and reported
that they had re-taken Anapa.
The Austrian Commander has pro-
claimed martial law in Moldavia, but the
Moldavian authorities refused to promul-
gate the order, unless authorized by
Sultan Constantine.
| Valg, son Of the reigning Prince, was
killed in duel at Jassy, by the Austri-
an Major Stalberg. The affair had
caused considerable sensation in the
principalities of the Baltic.
The recent attack on an English boats
crew at Hangs, under flag of truce,
causes much excitement IN England
The unprejudiced supposition is, that
the Russians supposed the boat was TAX
ing soundings. as recently was done at
Kertsch. The Russian account in the
Invalid Russ says-"Six were killed
and the remainder are prisoners"
AUSTRIA.
The Russian influence is very active
even in the smallest German towns
The Journal of st. Petersburg publish
es the semi-official discussions on Count
Malewaski, from the French circular of
May Esd. The Journal also semi-offi-
cially says, that peace is possible if
France and England are willing; in as
much as the fourth point is morally al
though not formally settled. and the
other points namely: the navigation of
the Danube, and the evacuation of the
Principalities are also settled, leaving
only the Vienna third point to be ar
ranged. The Austrian army being dis
banded the reduction is great and rapid.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The steamer Hermann carried out in
telIigence of the presentation to Parlia-
ment of the report of Roebuck's Com
mittee. The report merely admits that
the suferings of the army have been
aggravated by incompetency at home.
Since then there has been considerable
excitement created by Mr.. Roebuck in
consequence OF his report being over
ruled by the other members of the
committee, they having given notice Of
a vote of censure on the Government,
so worded as to embrace the grievances
of all sections of the opposition. The
debate on administrative reform, after
