The steamer Asia, with adyices from

GENERAL IsTELLIeEscE.
By this arrival we have adylces rom ON
the army before SevastoPoi to the isln
ult.. but contrary 10 general expeeta-
tion. no important result had taken place.
Notwithstanding the FIVE hundred guns
oftbe allies continued to play incessant-
Iv1pon the town and Notifications.
Since the breaking up Of the Vienna
Conference, several supplementary meet
ines Of the four parties had been held,
but without any definite result. The
Plenipotentiaries assembled on the Esd
ulk, and signed the protocol of the last
conference. Subsequently another meet
ing was held, at the request of Prince
Gotschakof, at which he made further
propositions from Russia, but which
were inadmissible, and rejected by
France, England and Turkey,
The efforts of the Conference having
thus totally failed, it was generally adj
mitted that nothing could be hoped for
but long and sanguinary war, and all
were looking to the result of the strug-
gle at Sevastopol with intense anxiety.
Before Lord John Russell left Vienna,
he had private interview Of two hours
with Count Buol. The Departure OF
the French Minister from Vienna had
been postponed a few days for the pur-
pose Of discussing matters with the Aus
trian Cabinet.
The London Times speaks of the poll
cy of the new Czar as even more auda-
cious than that of his father, and it was
SO regarded throughout Europe.
The allies had the exclusive control OF
the telegraphic line, and nothing def
mite was known in regard to the real
condition of matters at Sevastopol, but
the general impression was that matters
were in favor of the allies.
The Russians, however, continued to
fight with great bravery, and returned
the fire of the allies with effect.
A dispatch received at Brussels re-
ports the suspension of the lombard
ment, but its truth was doubted The
dispatches from the Crimea are in the
following order: -
April 14.-The bombardment con-
tinues night and day, from five hundred
and ten guns and mortars, each gun f.
ring one hundred and twenty rounds ey-
cry twenty-four hours. The Manclon
tower has been silenced, and some of the
round tower guns dismantled, but the
Rideau and Garden batteries keep up a
heavy fire. THERE'S no immediate pros
pect of an assault.
April l5.-During the night most
sanguinary battle ragged between the
French and Russians, in which the for
mer destroyed the rife ambuscade in
front of the Malakoff Tower.
April 16.-The bombardment contin-
ues with unabated fury. The Russians
repair the breaches made during the
day with surprising facility. The loss
Of life is heavy.
April 17.-The fire of the French bat
teries maintains its superiority, and
they have sprung mine before the flag
staff battery, at a distance from it of
fifty meters, thereby opening new par
allel, which has been successfully Joined

18th to the 14th was 800 killed.

made strong sortie, but were prompt

Petersburg as follows:
April 1.-THE fire of the allies is
growing less violent and our batteries
reply successfully.
