Slth nst arrived at this port early yesterday morn
ng, with seven days later news from Europe. Made
uuoisee Rachel and suite were amongst the passen-
cers. There is no news of importance from the
seat of war. The English and French engineers
had carried their works near to the advanced de-
fences OF the Redan and MalakoG towers that an
other attack on Sebastopol daily expected. In

almost nightly against either the other of the

which he attributes to the above causes. 1t was

Sortyseyen years of age. General Canrobert had
turned to Paris ard Omer Pasha had left Constan-
Suople to assume the command Of the Turkish
army in Asia, where it was thought he would find
eu poyment to fully compensate him for his mac
tvity during the past year at Eupatoria and Kama.
