From the New York papers of the 10Th we cut
the following telegraphic dispatches of the for
eign news received by the steamship Canada:

The War.

There are rumors that Pelissier is about to

dated July 4, says his works are progressing
satisfactorily.

The main facts have been already stated Of
the unsuccessful attack upon Sebastopol on the
18th Of June. The papers per the Canada CON
tain further details, including the dispatch Of
Pelissier.
1t is stated that General Margans French
Division, on the way to attack the fort on the
extreme right, by the Csreening Harbor, COM
menced the attack prematurely, and before the
other division had taken their ground. Mar
gan fell mortally wounded, and his division be-
ing thrown into disorder, the Russians turned
their concentrated fire upon the next division,
as it came up under General Brunei, and shat
tered it badly. Brunet also fell. Orders were
then given to withdraw the troops into the
trenches, although General Autevane had
meantime reached the Malakoff Tower. The
retreat was effected with good order, but with
great loss.
When Lord Raglan saw the defeat of the first
French Division, he hastily ordered an attack
on the Redan, to effect diversion in favor of
the French, although it was previously inten-
ded that the British should not attack until the
French had captured the Msiakoff, inasmuch as
the Malakof's guns quite commanded the Re-
dan So far as civilians at a distance could
Judge, Lord Raglan's order to attack was
great error, for the British storming party not
being sufficiently strong to carry the works,
were repulsed with great slaughter. A curious
incident is, that Gen. Eyre, with 1000 British
troops, penetrated into the suburbs of Sebasto-
pol itself, and held possession Of the houses in
one street for seventeen hours; but being to-
tally unsupported, he retired at night-fall The
inference is, that had the assault been general,
or systematically planned, the eisy would have
fallen, or at least its first line of defense might
have been carried.
French letters of une 25th say that the army
was full of confidence, The approaches were
pushing forward to the MalakoH Tower, and q

loss ON the 18th.
