General Pelssier telegraphs on the 10th as fol-
lows:
For some days past rumors of an intended at
tack on the part Of the Russians had excited our
attention. and this morning at daybreak, they real
lied their intention against lines on the Tcher-
maya, but in spite of tho movement of imposing
masses which had been collected during the night,
the enemy were repulsed with great vigor by the
troops forming the divisions of Generals Herbil-
Ion, Canava, Fancheux, and Morris. The Sardi-
mans placed on our right fought bravely. The
Russians left large number of dead on the field,
| and we made many prisoners. The Russians were
in complete retreat on Mackenzies Hill when our
reserve came up, and with the aid Of our brave al
lies, particularly the English cavalry, the enemy
received severe blow. Our losses, although much
less numerous than those of the enemy, are not
vet known. PELIssIER.

Orr SwEABoRG, Aug. IL, 1885,
Sweaborg was attacked by the mortar and gun
boats of the allied squadron on the morning of the
9th. The firing ceased early this morning Heavy
explosions and very destructive fires were pro-
duced. In a few hours nearly all the principal
buildings on Vargo, and many more on Swarte, in
GLIDING those Of the ,dockyard aud arsenal, were
burned Few casualties have occurred, and no

1t will be observed that in the above no mention
has been made of the Russian ships.
Russian despatch Of the 18th says
1.-THE allied fleets opened the bombardment
against Sweaborg on the 9th, and have kept it up
with energy until now"
DANTzIc, August l6, 1855.
The allied squadron returned to Nargen from
Sweaborg on the 18th. None of the allied ships
were seriously damaged. The British casualties
were-klled, none; wounded, two officers and
thirty men. The French loss is equally trihng.
Advices from Kongsburg state that when the
attack on Sweaborg began, the Grand Duke Con-
stantine asked permission of the Emperor to at
tack the diminished feet before Cronstadt but the
Emperor refused.
Sweaborg seems not to be in possession Of the
allies, and as il is not key to any important posi-
ton, its destruction must be regarded as de-
Tackled enterprise, and not as any part of any COM
prehensye operation. Its successful lombard
ment, however, has had the effect to revive the
spirits of the feet and to satisfy expectations at
home.
