character.
The hombsrdment Of Sebastopol was re-
commenced on the 9Th inst, and a dc

Tower, the greatest gallsntry being display.

Russian and French, was very great, but no
figures are given.
This event gave great buoyancy to pub.
lie feeling, and caused slight rise in Com
soils
The Conferences of Vienna have been
formally closed. The closing emanated from
the Western Powers, aud the negotiations
for peace are not likely to be renewed, I'M
less Russia shall apply to Austria for her
good offices.
Prussisl correspondence says that Austria
considers herself released from all engage
monis to the Western Powers, the latter hav-
ing refused to conclude peace on reasonable
terms Austria, however, still processes her
self the ally of France and England, but

The Vienna official papers state that al
though the Conferences are closed, Russian
Plenipotentiaries have the Austrian PROPOSE

time. the military commissioners Of France
and England have left Vienna.
The appointment Of Baron thunderstorm
as special Envoy from Sweden 10 Vienna is
announced, and considered as important, his
supposed object being to avail hlmseifofthe
present neutrality OF Austria, TO effect an
armed neutrality among the Central Powers
OF Europe.
THE WAR.
A general bombardment of Sebastopol
was recommended on the 9th Of June, the
results Of which are not yet known
The details are in hand Of the affair be-
fore Sebastopol on the night of MAY 22d,
bot the main facts were previously known.
They show gallaniry on the part of the
FIR nch. but also show that the victory was not
IN reality a further success, but merely
successful attempt to destroy very Danger
ous works which the Russians had erected
IN front Of their defence, and which would
have ouiAank5d the French attack
The Russian plan was 10 unite all their
ambuscades BY line Of gabions, connects
ed by a continuous covered way with their
present defences 10 enclose, IN fact, an en-
urey new space Of ground
The French plan was to carry this new
defence, and TO transform it into a French
position, which was accomp' ished at an in
mense loss, which, says Gen Pclssier, gave
to the engagement the proportions Of bat
tie.
Gen Peissiers despatch is quite interest
ing.
Details are also received Of the allied adj
vance on Tchernaya. The allied force num-
bored 10000 French, Slrdinians and Turks.
The Russians made no opposition, but retir-
ed with their guns. The condition of the
grounds show that the Russians never lnten
ded 10 maintain the position.
New reeonnoisances had been made, and
further advance was expected.
Telegraphic accounts indicate that the al
lies are yet on their own side the river.
Details are received likewise Of the emp
turc OF kertch. The invading force mum.
hered nearly 10000, namely. 10000 French, |
5000 Turks, and $500 English, in numerous
steamers. the expedition entered the Straits
Of Ksrtch on Thursday, the 9th. and COM (
menced firing upon the forts Of Ambalaki, I
the garrison Of which speedily abandoned
the place, having previously blown up the
magazines. Tho gunbo1ts Of the Allied {
forces sIlenced the Pauls Viskay battery,
and burned some Russian boats and small
cran. The garrlsons Of Ker,ch and Yene- /
kali, varlousIy estimated from to 10000 /
strong, were seen to leave and fall back into
the interior, by the southern road. Means
time the allies landed without opposition at
hmbalakl. where they bvouacked for the I
night, and on the next morning moved on
towards kench. The cunboals were all the .
time occupied IN securing the Tnmamanskoi
Gulf and IN reducing the fort on the sand (
bank. All the inhabitants had fed, many
houses were on FIRE, and By Friday, at 3 o. |
clock, the empty cites Of Kerich and Yene- /
kali were IN the hands Of the allies, and q
steam fotila Immediately entered the Sea of !
Azof. last winters tempesls having washed /
nway the forty ships sunk by the Russians |
across the Straits.
The alice found 1900 tons Of coal at
hertch, and 20 dl.moun;ed guns, but no I
powder or stores. The total number of YES
sells burned by the allies comes up 10 2iO.- I
The intention is TO fortify fenekali and gar I
rison it by the Turks, but not to hold Kcrtch. 1
The steamers Of light draft are cruising
as near as possible Tsganrog, and gunboats,
yet lighter are being prepared.
Considerable discrepancy exists in the |
accounts of the allied proceedings at Gen
i,chi.
Sydney Herbert, in Parliament. on the
Sth, expressly said that the press draw in.
ierences from the successes that are not jus
tilted by the fact, for editorials speak as II
Arabet and Genitchi are already taken, but
although the allies have bombarded the one,
and destroyed the stores at the other place,
we are not yet in possession Of them. And
It mus, not, therefore. be thought tina; we are
masters of the Putrid Sea.
Gouschakof telegraphs, June 3rd, to st.
Petersburg, tIat the allies had left Genitchl,
and that part Of the burned stores would be
saved. The allied steamers afterwards vis-
tied Arabat, aud destroyed some merchant
ships.
Gen. Wrangle remains at Argaintscha.--
The allies have made no movement towards
the interior of the peninsula of Kertch.
Cracow letters report that the Instruction
IN the Ukraine is not yet suppressed. The
discomfort of the people Is chiefly directed
against the priests, as agents of the Gov
eminent.
