One week Later from Europe.

The Steamship Pacific arrived at New York onl
the nth inst. Bringing Liverpool dates to the 3Oh
ult., one week later than previously received.
The news by this arrival, although not of very
exciting character is nevertheless highly interesting
and supplies many interesting facts in relation to the
repulse of the allies before Sebastopol the 18th
ul The repulse of the allies has had the effect TO
rouse feeling throughout England and France for
still more rigorous prosecution of the war, means
of revenge as well for the national honor.
The War.
THE REPuIsE BEFORE SEBAsToPoL..-Th news
consists almost entirely of accounts of the intelligence
already transmitted by telegraph, but correspondence
does not down so late the 18th June, on
which day the allies made their unsuccessful attempt
to storm Sebastopo The allied losses on that occa-
sion overrated, yet the official lists of killed and
wounded foot up considerably 5000 men.
! Lord Panmure gives nominal list, showing SO
officers killed and wounded and 1aO missing (taken
prisoners Pelissier 81 French officers killed,
Sc officers wounded, II officers missing (prisoners)
| 1.544 private men killed and missing, and 1,644
wounded Total English hors de combat, 1,434,
! French. 3,237-4,774 Generals Meyran and
| Brunei were severely wounded.
| The accounts yet to hand do materially vary
the first announcement of the repulse of the allies,
excepting as regards the number of the slain. De-
tails are anxiousy looked for in England and France
| inasmuch sundry disagreeable rumors in Cir
cuaton. In Paris i, was reported that the failure
was in meas sure at least, owing to errors committed
by the British commanding officers. Their errors are
described as fold-frs in not having had tas-
cines provided for filling up the trench within the
Redan and next not having Immediately apprised
the French commander that they found it necessary
20 retire. The British, on their side, say that they
took the Redan, but could not hold il because the
French failed to silence the Malakof.
| Notwithstanding this check, the investing army
keep in good spirits, and do not permit their rePulse
to stay the progress of the siege. Lord Rag Ian was
reported be dangerously i'll, and has asked to be
recalled, but the report was not credited Sir George
Brown is also on the sick list
| Only two French divisions were employed in the
assault they those of Generals Mayran and
Brunet both of whom were very severely wounded
The chie loss sustained, not in the stormng of
the Malakoff batteries, but in the attempt 10 stay
there under storm of grape and canister from the
contiguous defences Il is believed in Paris that,
with the experience gained in this first attempt, the
general will be able to diminish considerably the
power Of the enemy to annoy the allied troops when
next they enter the MaIakof works until the latter
are able 10 turn the advantages of that position
against the town. I here is no sign of return to
the offensive the part of the Russians and OF that
terrible turn which, according 10 prophets, the
war was to take upon the failure of assault as

tanned, but the general situation is unaltered.
