DEFEAT OF THE AtLIEs-TERRIBLE SLAUeH-
TER-lhe besiegers have made an nnsuccess-
ful attempt to storm Sebastopol. The Eng
lIsh loss IS set down at 1000 men, but il is
hoped that this is exaggerated.
The following are the only official notifica-
tons " Lord Panmure regrets 10 have 10 an
nounce, that he has received information thar
the English troops attacked the Redau. and the
French the Malakoff Tower, at daylight on The
morning Of the 18th inst, without the success
which has hitherto attended our efforts. Both
me French and ourselves have suffered consid-
erably.
Inc Moniteur announces that the govern
ment mas received two dispatches from Gen.
ehss'er the nrst, dated the 18th, gives in
y, ,orus'on VI 'ne operation concerted between
'he Generai ana ms Allies, and that the Turks
anu Chasseurs mace reconnaissance towards
Aitodar. Gen. Bosquet occupying The Tchs-n-
ava. The next day, at daybreak, The French
and English we're 10 attack the Malakoff Tow
er, Redan and other Batteries.
The second dispatch, dated the 18th, anneun-
ces that the attack had failed, and that althoueh
the troops had shown the greatest ardor, and
had gained footing in the Malakoff Tower.
General Pelissier was obliged TO order their re-
iiremeni into the Parallel. This was effected
with order, and without being molested by the
enemy.
Private accounts published IN the London
STANDARD say the loss of British officers, killed
and wounded, amounts 10 no less than 20.
From the obstinacy and courage with which
the combat was maintained by the British at
the Redan, and the necessity of eventually re-
firing from the attack the slaughter on all sides
has been immense, and if Information be cor
rect, the loss is killed and wounded Of the Brit
ish alone amounts to very little short of 1000.
The greatest portion Of the loss was expert
enced in ravine, where pow erfsl and unex-
pected battery was opened on the troops.
The allies lost terribly by the Russians
sprnging mine, and during the confusion they
recapiured the Mamelon, which was retaken by
the French.
The BLACK SEA.-The Russian account of
the Allied successes in the Sea Of Azof is pub
lished. Gorischakoff confirms the success
claimed by the allies, bot says that the opera
lions against the Sea Of Azof were expected
that not having means to oppose powerful fleets,
the garrison had orders to blow up the batteries
and retire ; that the grain stores burned by the
allies were mostly private properly, and do not
materially affect the supply Of the army, mas
much as anticipating snch an attack. supplies
were mostly conveyed BY land, Notwithstanding
the facilities offered BY sea.
Correspondence relates horrible atrocities
perpetrated by the French and Turks at the
capture of Kertch.
The BALTIc.-Admiral Bsnes' squadron of
seventeen steamers has left Keil for the Baltic.
The rest of the feet lay off Seaker Island.
The recent attack on the English boat crew
at Haugo, under flag of truce, caused much
excitement in England
An Internal Machine exploded under the
English steamers Merlin, and FREELY, off CJon-
stadt, on the 9th, by which they were dam
aged, but notseriously.
