THREE DAYS LATER
FROM EUHoPE.

The R. NJ. steamship Canada, Capt Jud
kins, from Liverpool on the 7th inst. arrived
at New York on Wednesday.
The WAR. On July 8, Lord Raglan wa,
buried with all the pomp which the circum
stances permitted.
There are some rumOrs tina. Gen. PelissieI
is about to be superseded.
Since the repulse of the 18th, the Allies
have been Strengthening their advance against
Malakoff, and Gen. Pelissier's latest teie-
graphic despatch OF July 4, says his works are
progressing satisfactorily.
Gen. Simpsons despatch of the same date
is merely nothing new since my last Ac-
counts by telegraph have already stated the
main facts of the unsuccessful attack on Sc
yastopoi on the 18th of June.
The papers per the Canada, contain de-
spatches from Lord Raglan and Gen. Pelis-
sier, giving the full details. These and the
camp correspondence make plain the causes of
the repulse. Gen Mayrau's French division
which were to attack the fort on the extreme
right, by the Careening harbor, commenced
the action prematurely, before the other divi-
slons had taken up their ground. Gen. May
rsu fell, MORALLY wounded, and his division
being thrown into disorder, the Russians turned
their concentrated fire upon the next division
as 1t came up, under the command of Gen.
Brunei, and shattered it badly. Gen. Brunei
also fell, and orders were then given to with
draw the troops into the trenches, although
Gen. Autcwane had in the meantime reached
the Malakoff Tower. The retreat was effect
ed in good order, but with great loss.
When Lord Raglan saw the defeat of the
first French division, he hastily ordered an at
tack on the Redan, in order to effect diver
sion in favor of the French, although it was
previously intended that the British should not
attack until the French should have captured
the Malakef, inasmuch as the Malakoff guns
quite command the Redan. So far as civilians
at distance can Judge, Lord Raglan's order
TO attack was great error, for the British
storming party, not being sufficiently strong 10
carry the works, were repulsed with much
slaughter. A curious incident is, that Gen.
Eyre, with 1000 British, penetrated into the
suburbs of Sevastopol itself, and held posses
sion of the houses of one street for IL hours,
but being totally unsupported, retired at night
fall. The Inference is that had the assault
been general, or Systematically planned, the
city would have fallen, or at least, its first line
of defence have been carried.
French letters of July 8, say the army was
full OF confidence. Approaches were being
pushed forward to the Malakoff Tower, and a
French battery of thirty guns was nearly COM
pleted on the point of Careening Bay, TO keep
off the Russian ships, their fire having caused
much loss on the 18th.
Careful estimates show that this war has
already cost one-half million lives, and yet no
destructive battles.
The Journal de ST. Petersburg, publishes
the correspondence respecting the recent affair
of Hango, stating that the flag of truce was
not visible, aud accusing the English OF max
ing improper uses of flags of truce generally
On July 5, the bulk of the allied squadron
lay off Cronstadt
