No further events of any importance have
occurred in the progress OF the war. but there
are copious details of the Sweaborgh lombard
ment, and the battle in the Tchernaya.
The Russian loss at Sweaborgh is reported
at only forty killed and one hundred and sixty
wounded. The Notifications were destroyed.
Two British ships had fired on Riga with
out effect.
The squadron in the White Sea continued
to destroy stores, &c.
The British in the Sea of Azof have blown
up the sunken Russian ships of war.
Affairs before Sevastopol were quiet and un-
changed, as we'll as at Kars.
The Russian loss in the battle of Tchernaya
was nearly 1000 killed and wounded, and Of
the allies only 1000. The Russians were not
pursued across the river, and hold their former
position.
Various rumors were current of new peace
movement.
No further important events had occurred,
consequently the most interesting news is the
details of the battles of Sweaborgh and Tcher-
maya. The loss of life at Sweaborgh was
quite small, but the details thus far do not
state how much of Sweaborgh has been de-
stroyed, nor how much has been left of il.
The rumors of new negotiations are to the
effect that the accession of Spain to the western
alliance is complete, and also those Of Den
mark and Sweden are all but ratified.
Austria is said TO have submitted new
project of peace, and will come out decidedly
for the allies.
There is further talk that the allies will
permanently occupy some portion of the Turk
ish territory, and reconstruct map of Italy.
According to the Russian admiral's account
of the bombardment of Sweaborgh, the allies
appear to have done but little damage beside
the burning Of the public stores. He says no
damage whatever has been done TO the fortif-
cations or guns and closes his despatch of the
evening of the 18th thus :-''The enemy re-
main at their old anchorage, and do not renew
the attack
The attack on Riga commenced at four
O'Clock on the morning of the 10th, by two
English steamers, one two decker and one
frigate, and continued until seven O'Clock in the
evening, doing apparently no damage.
The attack on Tchernaya was commenced
by Gortschakoff in person. The Russian force
consisted of five divisions of infantry, 5000
cavalry, and 90 batteries of artillery. The
Russians left on the field $500 dead, and 3s
officers and 1900 men were wounded. Three
Russian generals were killed. The French
loss amounts to nearly 200 killed and over 800
wounded.
The English General Reed was killed
A later despatch says the Russians asked an
armistice to bury their dead.
General Pelisser says the whole number of
the Russians buried was 1929
despatch of the 18th says that the artil-
lery had opened fire on Sebastopol, but that
the bombardment had not commenced.
The four Russian steamers sunk in Berdi-
ansk Bay have been blown up by the English,
and the suburbs of the town burnt A British
gun boat went ashore during the attack, and
was taken prisoner by the Russians, together
with complete code OF the allies signals.
Prince Gortschakoff's latest despatch from
Sebasiopol is of the 2ist. He says the fire of
the allies has sensibly diminished, and does
but little damage.
Queen Victoria S visit to Paris has been a
success of the most triumphant kind. The
Parisans have expended an immense amount
of enthusiasm, and the Emperor has exhibited
the most imperial hospitality. The English
papers are full to overflowing with accounts of
the festivities.
