 Crmea.
 The Washington brings reports of several en- raoements having taken place between the hos file forces in the Crimea, since last advices.- The results, it will be perceived, even accord ;nr to the allied accounts seem to be pretty nearly evenly balanced Omar Pacha had arrived before Sebastopol. On the 18th ult, the Russians opened hre on the heiqhts of Balaklava. The English, under Gen. Vernoys, however, routed them with great slaughter. line of the Allies before Sebastopol; but they wore aqain repulsed with great loss.
 On the 14th the Turkish cavalry at Eupato- ria made sortie on the Russian forces surround ing the place; but they were repulsed with great slaughter
 On the 17th, the same day on which the Rus sans are reported to have attacked the whole line of the Allies and to have been repulsed with great slaughter, three battalions of Zoua- yes. who are said to have attacked the new re- doubts erected by the Russians are reported to have been driven back with heavy loss.
 The Vienna Conference.
 It is understood that the penipotentiaries of the several powers represented at the confer ence at present being held at Vienna, have come to a formal understanding as to the interpreta- ton to be placed on the firsttwo points on which itis proposed that the negotiations for peace shall be based.
 The latest accounts received from Vienna state that the deliberations on the third point had been commenced, and were expected to last several days.
 All coniectures as to the probable resut-and there are innumerable ones current--are felt to be idle. One of the most plausibly supported of the late reports from Vienna is that the as. pect of affairs at the Congress was anything but satisfactory.
 The Western Powers, it is now distinctly, though perhaps not positive authority, an- nounced, do not insist on the raging of Sebas- topol as one of the indispensable conditions on which peace is to be re-established. In fact they abandon it. The other conditions which they do require, however, are considered as too unfavorable for Russia to assent to. The par ticular point under discussion at the conference would seem to be the conditions to be made with Russia, for the purpose of effecting a di- intuition of her power in the Black Sea. All they would appear to require now is a reduction of the forces Russia maintains ill the circum- acent ports.
 The protocols in relation to the second point were to be signed on the 9th inst
 Mere Troops for the Crimea.
 The London Morning Herald announces that 1t has been informed on gcod authority, that the Emperor of the French has agreed to send 5O,- 0OO additional troops to the Crimea, if 1t should be deemed necessary, after the Vienna Congress shall have concluded its session, and upon the condition that England find vessels in which to convey them.
