WILL SEyAsTopoL BE TAKEN THIS WINTER
The London Morning Advertiser, says that it has
learned from a source by which it has never been
deceived. that the allied governments have re-
solved to make great efforts to take SeVastopoi
before the end of Dece1nber-that is to say, before
the time fixed for Russia to accept the bases tor
negotiation agreed to in the treaty Of the I'd OF
December. This accomplishment will be followed IN
effect by a forced a~rmistice, and the fate OF sevas-
topol would necessarily have great weight in the
negotiations. It adds that a great battle will be
fought with the forces of Prince Menschikoff out
side, and if the attempt of the allies be successful,
they will proceed Immediately to the assault OF the
