The arrival of the steamship Pacific at this port
yesterday places us in possession of some ad diton
md more authentic details respe ,ting the severe
cheek experienced by the Allies in tho affair of the
18th If June In the former accounts it vas stated
that the heavier portion of the loss incurred that
occasion had fallen on the British bat according to
Q dispatch from General Pelisser, aud a statement
In Parliament from Lord Palmerston, the greater
share Of the casualties seems to have been on the
eide Of the French. The whole loss to the Allies in
killed and wounded about 900, aud out Of that
lnmber the English loss was only 1885, the French
making up the balance. The English, however
had more than double the numbsr Of officers put
Aors dn combat. In the Paris correspondence Of the
London Times It is stated that complaints have
been forwarded home to his government by General
Pelissier of deficiency of energy and proper sup.
port IN the affair of the 18th on the part OF Lord
Raglan. Communications are said to have passed
bstween the English and French Cabinets on the
subject, and 1t was rumored that the English
general had applied for leave to retire, on the
plea of illness. This latter statement had, how
ever, been formally contradicted by Lord Pal
nerston in the House Of Commons, aud the
report probably only originated In the general
anxiety felt in England to more efficient officer
substituted for the present Commauder.in. Chief.
The Times accurately sums up his iordship's merits
when it says that the English people sent out Lord
Raglan more IS q military negotiator, to keep on
good terms with their Allies, than % general, to
be guided by purely military conaderations." Not
wthstsnding their late repuse the Allies are repre-
scented to be- steadily gaining ground in the SIEGE
and in late despatch it is stated that they had OBJ
tanned possession of ons or two others OF the Rus
sian positions Cholera has, however, commenced its
ravsges in their ranks, and several dating uished
English officers have fallen victims to the disease.

The Baltic fleet has commenced operations, by
the bombardment OF Tango and jweaborg. At the

rendered harmless. 0ne of them, however, ex.

severe injuries on Admiral Seymour and Captain

There is some further talk about Lord Dundonsld
being sent out 20 operate against the Baltic ports
with bis submarine batteries. 1t Is probable, hoy
ever that, like those Of the German Professor,
their Wanted effects will turn out TO be merely
smoke.
