Intelligence from :he Crimed fragmen-

of the Allies was not less than four
thousand, including General Campbell
and rs other officers. Many rumors
prevalent.
The Allies have made an unsuccessful
attempt TO storm Sebastopol. The most
contradictory rumors prevailed in regard
to the transaction. BY some accounts
the English loss is set down at 1000
men, but the report is believed to be
much exaggerated. The following are
the only official notifications Of the
event:

Advises from Pelliser to the French
Government are 10 the same effect.
Private accounts published in The
London Standard, say the loss of the
British officers, in killed and wounded,
amounts TO no less than seventy; the
greatest portion Of the loss was expert
encec in ravine, where a powerful and
unexpected battery was opened on the
troops. The allies lost terribly By the
: Russians springing a mine, and during
the confusion they rscaptured the Nam /.
elon Tower, a dispatch from Buchares t
via Vienna confirms the report that an
expedition has been undertaken against
Perekop. The Russian account of the
success OF the allies in the sea of AzofT
T is published. Gortschakoff confirms the
success claimed by the allies, but says
that operations against the sea of Azoff
were expected. The stores of grain des-
troyed were private property and not in .
/ tended for the use of the Russian army.
: The correspondence relates the horri.
Bile atrocities perpetrating by the French
and Turks at the capture OF Kertsh. A
dispatch from Varna, dated June l7lh,
which was retarded ON the way. saws tha
Russians had made an unsuccessful at.
