THE PACIFIC,s NEWS.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser

A sensible improvement has taken place
since the departure of the last steamer, not
only in the public feeling regarding the pro-
Fgress Of the war; but also in the prospects OF
4 the harvest and the general state of the trade
If the country.
AT that date, uncertainty prevailed with
regard 20 the loss sustained by tie A lies in
their unsuccessfnl attack on the Malakoff
tower and The Redan the 18th inst. Tie
official reports have now been received, and
it appears that the killed and wounded on
the British side were 395, and on the
French , 600. Ii seems from message re-
ceiyed by the Government from Lord r CLAN
this morning, that even this aft ir was not
without some salts actory result Tor the A lies,
: since they captured an external fort which
they still retain, and it has also been an
nounced that they hold all the positions
gained in their previous successes, and that
the preparations tor another attack are ac-
lively progressing.
From the Sea of Azoff, the official dis
patches show that the conquest of hat re
gion has been complete, and that Russia has
now not sail possession on its coasts
or waters which she can call her own. To
add 10 her humiliation, the town of Yenikale,
which commands tile straits connecting this
sea with the Euxine, aud which is the only
point necessary to Ue retained by military
, occupation in order to exercise sway over
f the whole, has been left in the hands OF 7 00O
; Turk, assisted by English and French
> regiment, the place having been put in a sla e
OF defence, which will enable them to hold
their position. Thus the forces OF that pow
! er whose possessions only 10 months back
. were to be treated as mere spoil from a
e sick man, are in quiet domination from Eu-
patUrla 10 Ksrtch. over some of the finest
parts of the Russian Empire.

with regard to the health of the army in the
I Crimea, although heat and Leslilence are
: likely to tell more fatally on the Russians
than on the Allies. Several deaths OF su-
y petIor officers have already been reportt d
from cholera, and it is stated thai Lord Ray

; The Allies, having finally reae he'd the per-
: manent and regular Notifications, will meet
with different kind aud degree of resistance
from hat which such EXTERIOR constructions
as the Mamelon and the Quarries were able

u feels the check severely, and eff1rts made
to prevent the public from taking it too much

In consequence of this repulse, the Engli h
Go, ernment is hurrying off reinforcements,
and rumOr has circulated here OF the i'm
minence OF levy as u ell as of a loan.

He may, perhaps, cas- iy send 10 900 more,
