ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC.
MINE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE

MINE DAYS LATER EhUm EudUfk.
There is no news of the slightest interest
from the Crimea. Affairs within and without
Sebastopol remain precisely as they were. =
Occasional shots are exchanged when a mark
presents, but the firing has ceased to be con-
tinuous on either side All field and siege
operations are suspended by the heavy rains,
which have rendered the roads impossible,
and have filed the trenches OF the besiegers
with water The besieged avail themselves
of the respite to repair their works. Cholera
and scarcity prevail within the city. Deser-
ters report that Menschikoff has received con-
siderable reinforcements, but they arrived
without supplies and almost destitute of cloth
| ing. By this time the allies must have re-
ceiyed $4,000 to 10000 additional troops,
beside an abundance of supplies, warm cloth
ing, and wooden huts to shelter about half
the army. 1t is affirmed but is probably
an exaggeration--that the French force will
be augmented to twelve divisions, or about
120, 600 men, which, with the English and
Turkish reinforcements, viii make the strength
of the allies 200 .000-an army which it is
considered will equal any that Russia can bring
into the field
