Russian Panic.
IL appears that not less than 200 guns of
large calibre have been found by the allies at
Scbastopol. Ii is thought that the Russians will
have made an attempt To redeem their defeat by
again attacking US, and il is rumored to-day that
the government was in expectation OF the news of
great battle. During the assault the Russian
artillerymen were killed at their guns, but il is
affirmed that with that exception panic took
complete possession Of the army at the appearance
Of the a lies in the MalakoT Tower. Their hasty
retreat was occasioned by the fear that we should
lire on the bridge and take them prisoners.
Geographic despatch from Balaklava, dated
Sunday, 9th inst three a. m, states that $50
Russian soldiers and ~ officers taken prise
ners in the Malakotf' on Saturday.
Armissice and Capituiatien.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily .Ni,cs
says: have received from good private source
some interesting intelligence regarding the pres
cnt state of things in the Crimea. Ii will have
been remarked that one Of General Pelissier' 3
dispatches, while stating that Prince Gortscha-
kof had asked for armstice TO bury his dead
left behind near Fort St. Paul. does not say
whether or not he had acccded TO the request
II is certain that the French General felt it his
duty to refuse, and believe his very proper an
swcr was, that he would bury the Russian dead
himself, and would take the same Of their
wounded as he did Of his own. General Pelis-
sier has, i understand, telegraphed for instruc-
tons in case Prince Gortschakoff should offer to
capitulate, ain event which he thinks exceedingly
probable, seeing that the Russian army is be-
lieved 10 have but fifteen days provisions, and
TO be very short of ammunition. An answer
worthy of the allied powers has been sent by The
Emperor to his General, and this | am told is the
substance of il: Sour conditions are that the
Russians must surrender at discretion, lay down
their arms, and give up to the Allies all the forth
fed places in the Crimea, including Odessa, with
all the munitions of contained in them, and
without any damage being previously done either
10 the towns or Notifications. According To my
private information the returns of casualties in
the late glorious events received by government
include the following names Of general officers:
killed, Generals Verdict and Rivet; wounded,
General Bosquet, slightly; General Bourbaki,

eral Trachu, severely, the calf of his leg being
taken of. There is doubt whether General
M 'Mahon received a wound or not.

qualities assigned them, they will be distributed

them be thrown into the town Of Revel, for the
purpose of reducing it TO ashes, whereby another
decisive blow will be struck this year in the Bal

Sweaborg, from the fact Of its batteries Of
granite not being injured during the recent bonn

until the campaign Of 1856, by which time Il y
believed ample means Of insuring its downfall
will be furnished. Operations on a minor scale,
tending still further TO decrease the power Of
