By the arrival Of the steamers Hermann
and America we have one weeks later
news from Europe.
The allies have made an unsuccessful
attempt to storm Sebastopol. The most
sinister rumors prevail in regard to the
transaction. BY some accounts the Eng
fish loss is set down ut four thousand men
but the report is believed to be much cx.
agerated.
The following are the only official mott
fcAtions of the event:
" Lord Panmure regrets 10 have to an
nouncc that he has received information
that the English attacked the Redan. and
the French tie Malakoff towers at day.
light on the morning of the 18Th, without
the success which has hitherto attended
our efforts. Both the French and our
selves have suffered considerably. The
names Of the officers who have fallen will
be forwarded Immediately, but il will be
impossible to receive complete returns Of
all the casualties before the 3Oth inst,
( June) at the earliest"
The Moniteur announces that the govern
ment has received two dispatches from
Gen. PclSsler--the first dated the 18th.
informs it of operations concentrated be-
tween the General and his allies, and that
the Turks made a reconnaissance towards
AlLodar, General Bosquet occupying the
Techernaya. The next day, at day break
the French and English were to attack
the MaIakOtf tower. The second despatch.
dated the 18th, announces that the attack
had failed, and that although the troops
had shown the greatest ardor, and had
gained u footing in the Malakoif tower.
General Pelissier was obliged 10 order
their retirement into the parallel. This
was effected with order, and without mo-
lestation by the enemy.
Private accounts published in the Lon
don Standard, say that the loss Of British
officers in killed and wounded amounts
to no less than seventy. Among the killed
are General Sir J. Campbell, Col. Yea
and Col. Shadford. From the obstinacv
and courage with which the combat was
maintained by the British at the Rcdau,
and the necessity Of eventually retiring
from the attack, the slaughter on all sides
has been immense, and if the information
be correct, the loss in killed and wounded
OF The British alone, amounts TO very lit
tie short Of 1000.
The greatest portion Of loss was expert
rnccd in a raviue where powerful and
unexpected battery was opened on the
troops. There is reason to fear that the
loss has been very great, but Lord Pail
merston said last night no additional in>
formation had arrived. The allies lost
terribly by the Russians springiny mine,
and during the confusion they recaptured
the MameIon Tower.
Previous adviccs were to the 18th, stat
ing that there had been smart firing on
both sides but without any result of i'm
portuncc.
y despatch from Bucharest, via Wen
ma, confirms that an expedition has been
undertaken against Perckop.
PeliSsIcr is exceedingly savage against
the Geographic messages Napoleon sends
him. lie is reported TO have recently re-
piled that when any thing occurs he will
let the Emperor know, but that he has
not time to act as a tclcgruphc operator.
This, according to rumor, accounts for
the recent absence of news in the Moni.
teur.
All the camps are healthy. excepting
that ut BaIakIava. where cholera prevails
The S1rdinians are suffering, and General
Marmora. the younger, is dead.
