Hedssrmy on Sobastopol. The Lombard
mcnt RECOMMENDED on tue 9TH Of April
During the first ten days Of the lombard
n.sat the ire Of tbs besicsers was superior
to that of the city, and much damage was
done 20 the Russian works. During the
NIGHT Of the 18Th the French gained Nh nd
vantage over TIC russians IN front Of the
Malokor tower, which led TO another fierce
encounter on the night Of the Nth in the
same place, the French coming off again
victorious and rcmaining in possession of the
posts. The possession Of these posts emu
b!cdthe allies 70 loytiiy the summit Of the
ravinc, which Is 6f great Importance. Up
to the latest dates The fire continued unaha-
ted. night and day. from 800 guns. The
Malnclon tower had been silcnced, and some
of the Round tower guns dismounted, but
the Realan and Mardcn batteries kept up
heavy fire. There was no immediate pros.
pect of an assault. The loss appears to be
great on both sides.
While such is the news as to the outside,
G, rischakoif has published ali address to tho
garrison, in which he states that matters
look more encouraging to the besicgcd.-
And his despatch, to the Russian govern
mcnt on the 22d says: "Ihc besiegers' fire
on the 10th, 18th and 18th, was less violent.
On the night of the 18th, one Of our battal
ions made sortic to destroy the cnemy's
most advanced fortress" and that "aitcr IL
DAYS bombnrdmcnt the fire Of the allies had
become more slack, and caused no more
damage"
The Vienna conference was broken off on
the Goth April, Russia absolutely refusing
TO assent to the proposals Of France anu
England; and Austria had de finitcly refused
TO Second the humiliating demands Of the
Western Powers on the Gar, and it is now
generally confessed, though reluctantly, that
the utmost that can be expected from Aus
tria is the maintenance Oft strict neutrality.
Since the breaking up of the Vienna Con
ference there have been several supplement
tary meetings Of the five Powers, without
result Tho Plcnipotcn,iarics reasscmblcd
on the ODD and signed protocol of the last
conference. Subsequently another meeting
of the four powers was held at the request
ofprincc Gortschakoif when rthcrinadrnis-
sable propositions were made by the Russian
pcnipotcntiares and rejected by France, and
England and Turkey.
Before Lord John Russell left Vienna he
had private interview with Count Berol, Of
two hours. Druoyn del lluys' departure
was postponed for few days to discuss
matters With the Austrian Government.
Tbs Emperor aud Empress VI france ar
rived in England, On their long intended Wis
it, on the 9th, and Of course the event threw
John Bull into blaze Of enthusiasm and cX
citcmcnt. Their arrival Mt Dover llarbor
was announced by gruif welcome from the
batteries, and prince bert was there TO re-
cevc them, with many Thousand Of English
men. Well, there was lunch and few
