tnhIp AL VI LIE ALLAN III.
| The Atlantic arrived at n York on Friday
last, with dates to the 23rd tilt.
The Vienna Conference has been broken
off and Russia has rejected the demand of the
allies.
There are strong Indications that Austria

England assents to Louis Napoleon taking
command of the allied army in the Crimes.
This, however, is regarded as only doubt.

COMMANDMENT OF SEBAsToroL.
A despatch dated Balaklava, April 9th,
says:
1.-The allies commenced the bo,nbardmcns
this morning, during storm of wind AMI
rain very un(avorable to the Russians. The
Russians, surprised, responded slowly, til:
Flagstaff and Garden Batteries excepted
These doubled their fire up to noon, when the
superiority was on our side. At O'Clock
the fire of the Mamelon was sllenced. and
only four guns were fired from the Round
Tower The Rcdan continued to fire six
guns The French have silcnced the Flag
staff Battery" The English and French bat
tcrles, OIL opening the fire, had $50 guns in
position, and ammunition for $50 600 rounds
The London Times of the 23d ult.. saws:
In the present state Of the siege of Scbaito-
pol, all that the allied Generals can hope to
elect is to subdue and occupy some Of the
outer works which the Russian engineers,
under the command of General TQllcben,
have constructed with so much skill, hartli-
hood and efficiency. Accordingly, while tho
principal efforts Of the French are directed .
against the triple battery which they call
the Flagstaff battery, but which is commonly
ia in oIJr MIA tJ,nl t,nkk
our fire is mainly directed against the Great
Redan, in front of our own Lancaster battery
and Pickctts hill; and the French attack on
the extreme right is occupied with the works
in front Of the Malakotf Tower. We do not
anticipate that the eikct of the fire, which
commenced OIL the 9th of April, will be tho
immediate reduction Of the place itself, and
We Shall be well satisfied if this attack leaves
the allied armies in possession of some of
the advanced works which are the main de-
fences CT Sebastopol, and have hitherto proved
the most formidable obstacles to the success
of the siege. A decided advance of this ma
turc would be the surest pledge of our ulti-
mate success.
Several occurrences which were announced
by the last mail clearly indicated that impor.
tant events were shortly to be expected Na
received at first with some uncertainty the
statement that $4,000 Turks under Oner
Pasha had landed OF Kamicsch Bay; but it is
now ascertaincd that carly in the present
month Colonel Simmons was sentiback to
nupatora to organize this expedition. Five
french steamers arrived to convey the troops,
and, although the weather in the first week
OF April prevented their immediate cmbar-
kation 1t is certain that some of the finest
regiments in the Turkish service have been
conveyed to Scbaslopol to take part in tho
ensuing operations. At the same time, wo
learn hat the Egyptian division. which is
composed OF excellent troops, organized by
French officers, has been despatched in all
haste from ConStantinoplc to the Crimca land
before long the first detachment of the Sar.
dnian corps will have proceeded to the seat
of war.--Bcforc the month of May is much
advanced it is certain that the allied armies
in the CIimca WILL amount to far larger
force than had been anticipated. The med
lcal officers have been instructed by Lord
Raglan to mako farther preparations for tho
contingencies of active war.
Within the last two months no less than
Ten whole companies Of artillery have sailed
Tor the Crimea from England. Daring the
week ended April IA, no less than 5000 in
tantry left the shores Of the United Kingdom
to reinforce the battalions in the Crim,a.
Early in May there will he full 6 900 British
cavalry at the scat of war.
NO HOPES OF PEACE.
We take the following from leader in
the Times Of the 23d. 1T shows, we imagine.
that all hopes of peace are disspatcd
''Thc war continues, aid is likely to con-
tlnue. Our money and our blood are poured
forth like water. We desire no peace but an
honorable peace, and are willing to endure
all the sufterings, all the privatons, and all
the losses, that may he necessary to obtain
it. Whether with or without the assistance
Of those powers to whom we have been
taught to look for support, we hold that the
country ought to be prepared to stand to
IhoSe terms and insist on those conditions

That our sacrifices and our devotion
shall be met by them in corresponding
spirit We have right to ask that our
statesmen Shall rise to tho height of the
and shake off those miserable
practices which might be tolerated in the
quiet times of peace, but which become alb
'olutely insupportable under the iron pres

been pointed out rs guilty of the disasters
which have befallen our army, who has been

They remain. to ruin second army, as they
