The Press. — 1855-07-07 (London, England)

THE PRESS.  THE WAR.  Since the operations of the 18th, described in full detail in the despatches given below, nothing of importance is announced to have occured in the Crimea. The latest advices which have been published either in London or Paris are conveyed by the following telegraphic message from General Simpson : Crimea, July 4, 1855, 6.34) p.m. Nothing of importance has occurred since my last. The French works on the right are going on well. The health of General Eyre is re-established.  General Pelissier had announced on the previous day (July 3), in a despatch published in the Moniteur,  The last duties have just been paid to Lord Raglan by the two armies with all the pomp which circumstances permitted.  Our works progress satisfactorily. The health of the troops has improved. With regard to the failure of the attack on the Malakoff Tower, General Pelissier expresses himself thus in a letter to a friend:—" Je suis parfaitement de I'avis de Lord Raglan—nous avons mule pour mieux sauter." Prince Gortschakoff writes from the Crimea on June 27, that from the 19th to the evening of the 27th nothing important had taken place. The ftre of the allies against Sebastopol, he says, is weak. " The enemy is making new approaches towards us, but we are preparing to defend our positions vigorously."  The Frenulenblatt of Vienna states from the Criniea that Prince Gortschakoff has sent for 24,000 men more, and that he has reinforced General Liprandi's corps with another division. The Russian official account of the assault on the Malakoff Tower and the Great Redan has been published. The opening bombardment of the allied forces on the 17th ult. is described to have been most murderous, and as never before equalled in the history of man. The Russian troops were well protected, but the loss they sustained is admitted to have been considerable. On the morning of the 18th the attack was renewed by a cannonade, the fierceness of which passed all belief. Though four hundred pieces of cannon poured forth their iron hail from the Russian works, and made fearful gaps among the allied forces, the latter are acknowledged to have " marched onward, rushing furiously up to the breastworks, where they were met hand to hand by the brave Russian garrison. For seven long hours a struggle with the bayonet continued without interruption ; all other weapons were laid aside, and artillery on both sides were as if struck dumb by the horrible tragedy before them. At length the enemy was driven back, and forced to take refuge in his trenches, with the loss of six hundred prisoners." The Russian loss is estimated at about three thousand, and that of the allies at double that number.  Acc'bunts from the Crimea, of the 29t1? of June, received in Vienna, state that the allies had received fresh reinforcements.  The Journal de Constantinople announces that Keite'a had been completely dismantled. The Circasmans had destroyed the remaining fortifications of Anapa and followed the Russians in their retreat. An attack on Eupatoria was expected at the date of last letters from Constantinople. Thirty thousand Russian infantry had joined the large cavalry force before that place. Large reinforcements for the Crimea are now leaving France, preceded by a considerable number of officers of high rank, to take the places of those who have fallen in the recent engagements.
