GENERAL PROSPECTS.
The Russian defenses at the South ire
estimated at 100 guns stronger than when
the siege began-while on the other hand
the British have erected very powerful
new battery (not yet opened) on an cmi-
nence north of the valley of Inkermann,
and commanding every house in Sebasto-
pol, besides being another step towards
the complete investment of the place
Since the seige began 90 British troops
have deserted to the Russians. Russian
deserters say that provisions and ammu-
milton were becoming scarce in Sebasto-
pol, but there was no famine for either =
1t was observed that the Russians were
arming their ships in sebastopol harbor,
probably to attempt surprise by sea.
Gen. Liprandi is deprived Of his COM
mand for fault committed at Inkcrma2p
on the 9TH November.
Private letters from the Crimea state
that the campaign has proved a failure.
The siege operations made but little
way, and the state of forced inactivity to
which the besiegers by the exhaustion of
their previous efforts seems to have been
turned to account by the Russians in the
further Strengthening of their defenses-
The reports of the failing oftheir supplies
of ammunition are belied from the fact
that from the 22d of Nov. to the 18th of
December, during which time they had
made succession of vigorous sorties, tie
firing from their batteries was kept up
almost incessantly.
The Grand Duke Michael was observed to
be encouraging by his preseace the efforts oi
the besieged. The supplies of provisions were
also said to have arrived in the town. From
the preparations made for arming some of the
Russians vessels in the harbor, it was thought
they were about to put to sea with view to
intercept the transports ofthe allies; and in the
Baltic We also learn that they are again ven
turing out of their ports in that quarter. We
shall probably hear of some successful attempt
at retaliation for the losses already inflicted OIL
the Russian commercial marine.
THE DANUBE.
Five thousand French troops reached Con
stantinople on the eth December, and are on
their way to the Crimea The contingent ol
Omar Pasha's force to be sent to the Grimea
