The conference are in their last agony
Russia absolutely refuses to assent to the limi-
tation of her power in the Black Sea, but offers
topermit the maintenance ola Turkish armament
equal to her own on Black Sea waters, provid-
ed the fleet of no other nation have the right
of eHtrce. France and England, after yainly
insisting on the unconditional reduction of the
Russian power admit that RusSia's propositions
are worthy of consideration" the more so
that Austria has definitely refused to second
the Western powers in their humiliating
demands" on the Gar. 1t is now generally
confessed, although reluctantly, that the utmost
to be expected from Austria is the maintenance
of a strict neutrality. Lord John Russell

sistency was, that Austria refuses to demand

Tie Wdr-THe lOng-taLkcd of general Bom-
bQrdnent of ScbastopoI begun-Fire from all
the French and English batteries was opened
upon Sebastopol on the 9Th. On the 10TH
both French and English viewed the lombard
ment as effective but nothing decisive had
occurred to warrant a conclusion as TO the imme-
date issue The French left batteries had
made breach il the indented wall the two
fronts of the last erected Russian battery were
much Injured and one of the Russian works of
counter approach, near the careenng harbor
was silenced During the first two davs,
the besiegers' fire was superior to that Of the
city.
The progress of events is thus narrated
From st. PeterSburgb, April 10th, we have
a despatch wherein Prince Gortschakoff
announces, from Sebasopo that at O'Clock
on the morning of the 9th of April, the Allies
opened cannonade from all their batteries
which lasted till evening and was carried on in
lesser degree throughout the night. On the
10th the bOmbardment was resumed. The
Russians replied with success, causing sensible
loss to the besiegers, but with a loss to the
garrison Of S3S killed and wounded
The Wiener 1eftung publishes that, during
the night Of the 18th, the left attack of the
Allies obtained considerable advantage over the
Russians who were twice dslodged from a
fortified position, which remained in the hands
of the French. The possession Of this position
enables the Allies to fortify the summit of the
rayines, which is of great Importance
of date April 18th, Prince Gortschakoff
reports from SebaStopol The bombardment
of the city continued without interruption since
April 9th. Damages are repaired during the
night. Sebastopol is to-day in almost the
same state of defence as on the 9th The loss
sustained by the garrison, considering the
tremendous fire of the enemy is but small
There is nothing new from other parts of the
Crimea.'
