The Vienna Conference was broken oil
after its 18th session. Russia absolutely
refus I'd to assent to the proposals OF France
| and England. 4
The general bombardment Of Sebastopol
frcm 500 guns commenced on the 9th ana
continued necessarily, but up to the 10Th
an assault had not been practicable. It
was the intention to storm the place II pos.
sjble.
All hopes OF Austria taking the field a.
eainst Russia are abandoned.
From the seat Of war we hear that du-
ring the ten days of the boInbardment the
! ERE of tie besiegcrs was superior to that OF
The city, and much damage was done TO the
Russian works.
It is stated that during the night OF the
18th. tn last Of the attack. the Allies gain
ed considerable advantage over the Rus
SLAMS. Tie latter were twice dislodged
from strongly fortified posts, which remain
in the hands Of the French. The posses
sion Of these posts enables the Allies to for
tify the summit of the rayine, which is OF
great importance.
The Admirals of ahe Russian feet in Sc
bastopol had either died or been killed.
Gartsehakoff published an address TO the
garrison, in which be states that matters
look more encouraging 10 the besieged, as
trouble had been created at kasagoya by
tie brutal conduct OF an Austrian officer
The people attacked the Austrans and
drove them out OF the city The official
statement returned o47 killed on both sides.
The excitement continues.
Preparations for strengthening the Rus
sian ports on the Baltic are going forward
RAPIDLY and there are II 900 Russian troops
concentrating in the Baltic Provinces
Most of the British advance squadron was
detained in the great beit by the ice.
Parliament semblgt on the 10th. The
estimate for the government expenses for
the year is estimated at GS6. 339, 500, TO
meet this. 1t is thought much party discord
would arise in the manner of serving the
new loans, as il involves great principle
of finance.
The visit Of the Emperor aud Empress Of
the French has created perfect excite
ment. The Emperor made speech on the
occasion OF his reception BY the Lord May
or which gave great satisfaction.
Increased taxes on incomes, spirits, tea,
coffee, sugar and stamps are proposed.
1t is asserted that England assents to
Louis Napoleon taking command ofthe al
lied armies, but is regarded however as
doubtful rumor.
It was hoped that the detention Of the
Atlantic would have enabled her to convey
the news OF the termination Of war either
by treaty at Vienna or the capture of Sc
bastopol. Neither expectation has. how
ever, been fulfilled The conferences are
IN their last agony Russia absolutely re-
fuses TO submit to the limitation Of her
power in the Black Sea, but offers TO per-
nit the maintainance of q Turkish arua-
ment equal to her own in the Black Sea,
providing no other nation has the right.
Austria has definitely refused to second
the humiliating demands of the Western
! powers on the Gar, and tits now generally
confessed, though reluctantly, that the ut
most that can be expected from Austria is
/ the maintenance of strict neutrality.
Affairs are considerably more active in
/ the Crimea The allied fleet lay in line of
/ battle of the harbor Of Sebastopol. $1,000
/ Of Quar- Pasha's troops had been brought
4 to Karnish 10 join in the assault.
Gen Carrobert teleg apis on the 18th,
! that the firing continued undated chiefly by
the artillery but the hae was still operating
Another report says the loss OF life has
been very great on both sides aud council
| of war had been held in y hlch it WIS decided
to continue the fire for week longer and
then make the assault.
