DETAILS OF THE ARAGOS NEWS.
The Arago brings intelligence of the death
Of Lord Raglan, Commander-in-chie of the
British forces in the East. The melancholy
news was received by Lord Panmure from
Gen. Simpson, on the morning of the Both ult.
For some days previously LORI Raglan had
been suffering from indisposition, but until
p. Nj. on the 2Sth, his Lordship progressed
to the satisfaction of his medical attendants.
Afterwards, alarming symptoms developed
themselves, attended with difficulty of breath
ing which gradually increased. From 5 =. NJ.
he was unconscious, and from that period he
gradually sunk until 25 minutes before 8, at
which hour he died. The event has plunged
the whole army into the most profound GRIEF

The Times correspondent writing from the
Baltic states that on the 2lst ult., the AM
phion 3G, new frigate, while employed recon-
noitering the Notifications at Sweaborg, acci-
dentally mistook the channel, and in conse-
uuence foundered. The boats were immed-
ately despatched in all directions to sound,
and while so employed one of the near forts
opened a brisk fire upon the frigate. Four
shots struck her, killing one man and wound
ing two others. The Captain of the Am
phion, returned the compliment with such
energy and precision that he succeeded in
blowing up large Russian powder magazine,
and occasioned other damage to the fort.
From Copenhagen, July A, we learn that
the French war steamers Pelican and Tocksin
had anchored, and the English war steamer
Alban, towing the Jackdaw and Swinger, had
passed southwark.
L
evening of the Sd inst, a royal message, re-
commencing the House to provide some ma.
terial token of recognition to Lord Raglan
for the services he had rendered to his coun.
try during this and previous wars, was
brought under consideration.
And it was agreed that the annuity offl00C
year should be granted to the widow of his
late Lordship, and $4,000 q year to the
present possessor Of the title, with remainder
to his next heir.
In the House of Lords whilst discussing
the merits of the late Lord Raglan, the Ear
of Galloway blamed the Government fol
having allowed certain charges adducet
against Lord Raglan, in Parliament and else
where, to pass unanswered. TO this neglect
he believed that the premature death Of the
late Field Marshal was in a great measure
attributed.

rendered the former untenable, and PLACED
the town and harbors at the mercy of tn,
captors. For reasons, however, which nobo
dy can understand, this very sensible ant
apparently most practical design, was aban
doned, and the plan was changed into one o
simultaneous attack upon the two grea
works--the Malakof being undertaken b.
the French and the Redan by ourselves
The first manifest disadvantage at this ar
rangement was the spreading of our force
over a field of difficulties nearly double in ex
tent, and enabling the enemy to bring vas
number of guns into play against us, which
in the former case, could not have injured
man. To vastly enchance the chances Q

everybody else, was limited to some fou
thousand men; whilst the French, with
much juster appreciation of the difficulty
that fell to their SHARE told of twenty-Gv
thousand.
