ADDITIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
By THE CANADA.
FROM THE CRIMRA

General Simpson telegraphed on the 4th that
there was nothing new since his last account
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 despatch of
Pelissier.
1t is stated that General Margan's French
division, on the way to attack the fort on the
extreme right, by the GARDENING Harbor, COM
menced the attack prematurely, and before
the other division had taken their ground
Margan fell MORALLY wounded, and his divis-
ion being thrown into disorder, the Russians
turned their concentrated fire upon the next d.
vision as it came up under General Brunei
and shattered it badly. Brunei also fell. Or
ders were then given to withdraw the troops
into the trenches, although General Autevane
had meantime reached the Malakof Tower
The retreat was effected with good order, but
with great loss.
:: When Lord Raglan saw the defeat of the a rst
French Division, he hastily ordered an attack
o. the Redan, to effect diversion in favor Of
the French, although it was previously intend
ed that the British should not attack until the
French should have captured the Malakof,
inasmuch as the MalakOffs guns quite com
manded the Redan. So far as civilians at a
distance could judge, Lord Raglan's order to
attack was great error, for the British Storm
ing party, not being strong enough to cover
the works, were repulsed with much slaughter
A curious incident is, that Gen. Eyre, with
1000 British troops, penetrated into the su-
burbs of SebastopOl itself, and held posses
sion Of the houses in one street for seventeen
hours, but being totally unsupported he retired
at nightfall. The inference is, that had the
assault been general. or systematically planned
the city would have fallen, Mt least its first
line of defence might have been carried
Mr.. Stow, the commissioner sent by the
London Times to the Crimea, to administer
the balance of the Hospital Fund, fell sick
from over exertion, and ''routime' excluded
him from the very hospitals he was aiding He
was carried in scorching sun to the church
al Balaklava, where lie died victim to official
inhumanity.
June 2O-The Allies made a descent on
kotka Island, destroyed tho telegraph, and
burnt the Government stores.
June 2l.-Some of the Allied steamers took
sounding in Nystadt Roads, while others ared
some hours on Port Revel, without doing any
mlterial injury.
June 90 and 23.-Occasional shots were ex-
changed between gun boats employed inshore
and the Revel batteries
The Journal of St. Petersburg publishes a
correspondence respecting the recent affair at
Hango stating that the flag Of truce was not
visible and accusing the English Of making
improper use of fags of truce generally.
ITALY
In Sardinia much depression of feeling ex-
ists on account of the mortality that has be-
fallen the Sandman troops in the Crimea.
Turkey appoints a resident minister in Sar-
jinia.
The Neapolitan Government is reported to
have sanctioned the erection of hospital for
cOnvalescents of the Allied army at the baths
of Ischia, but this seems questionable.
