Arrival Of the steamer Asia.


Her war news Is quite exciting. The lombard.
menu OF Sebastopol was recommended on the 9th
inst, and the allies have achieved additional i'm
portant advantages, the French having captured
the Mamelon and White Tower batteries.
ATTITUDE OF THE FOUR PowERs
The Conferences at Vienna having been formal
ly closed at the insdgstion of the Western Pow
ers, the negotiations for peace would not likely be
renewed unless Russia shall apply to Austria for
her good offices.
Austria Il Is said considers herself released from
all engagements TO the Western Powers, the latter
having refused TO conclude peace on reasonable
terms. Austria, however, still processes hersclfto
be the ally of France and England, subject to srti
Gle one Of the treaty of December I'd.
The Vienna papers advise that, although the
conference is closed, the Russian plenipotentiary
still have the Austrian propositions under con
sideration and say that Austria still desires TO
effect mediation. In the mean time the military
commissioners of France and Britain have left
Vienna.
THE WAR NEWS
The news from the seat Of war is mostly con.
frmed in details previouslyreported doings.
The government telegraphs account Of the
affair before Sebastopol on the night of May lad,
which shows great gallantry on the part of the
French. 1t also shows that the victory was not In
reality further success, but merely successful
attempt to destroy very dangerous works.
cades by line of gabions connected by contn-
uous covered way south of their present defences,
enclosing in fact an entirely new space of ground
The French plan was to carry this new defence,
and transform it into French position, which
was accomplished at immense loss.
The details Of the allied advance on the line Of
the Tchemai says the allies force consisted of
10000 men. The condition Of the ground shows
that the Russians never intended to maintain their
Naw upia had baap nada
and further advance was expected. Telegraphic
accounts, however, indicate that the allies were
yet on their own side of the river.
The details of the capture of Kertsch has also
been received Itappears that the tempests Of
last winter had washed away forty sunken ships
placed across the mouth Of the straits Of Yenikale
by the Russians and thus the approach OF the allies
against Kertsch. The allies found 1900 tons of
coal at Kertsch, and 80 dismounted guns, but no
powder or stores The total number Of vessels
burned by the allies was $40. They propose now
to fortify Yenikale and garrison it by Turks, but
they will not hold Kertsch. Steamers Of light
draft are cruising as near as possible to Taganrog
Considerable discrepancy exists in the accounts
Of the allies proceedings at Gcnitchi. Sidney
Herbert, in Parliament, on the 9th, said that the
press had drawn differences from the successes of
the allies that are not justified by the facts For

masters of the Putrid Sea.
FROM THE BALTIC.
The British and French fleets, on the 4th, were
close to Cronstadt. Admiral Dundas had made

ing before leaving some sixty guns and six NOR
tars. Their entire force concentrated at Anapa.
Prince Gortschakoff telegraphs under date Of
June Sd, that the allies had left Genitchi and that
part of the burnt stores would be saved. The al
lied steamers afterwards visited Arabat and burned
q number of merchant ships. The allies had made
no movement towards the interior of the Peninsu-
IA from Kertsch.
