LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
CZAR OF RUSSIA DEAD.
Sebastopol Unchanged
Since our last issue the steamers Pacific
and Afiica have arrived with Liverpool
dates to the 3d inst.
LATEST. : —London, Fritlaj Night.—This
evening, in the House of Lords, Clarendon
rose and said : "I think it my duty to com
municate to yew Lordships a telegraphic dis
patch I received half an hour sitter!, from
tier Majesty's minister at Hague, that the
Emperor Nicholas died this morning at one
o'clock, of pulmonic apoplexy, after an at
tack of influenza. I have also received a
dispatch from Her Majesty's minister at Ber
lin, stating that.the Emperor of Russia died
at 12 o'clock this morning. tin hour before
this dispatch arrived, I receive,' accounts
from Lord John Russell, from Berlin, stating
that the Emperor was on the point of death,
and had taken leave of his family. Although
this event occurred so short a time ago as be
ti.veen 12 and 1 o'clock this mornirvi there
can be no doubt, trader the circumstances, of
its authenticity."
In the House of-Commons, Lord Palmer
ston made a similar statement.
it is surmised that the Emperor died by
the hand of an assassin ; but the cause as
sirie.d above is generally- credited.
The effects of this startling announcement
on political and monetary - mailers, are not
yet developed, and it is impossible to say
what it may produce. It has created meat
excitement.
Destitution in England had almost reached
its height, from the combined causes of un
usually severe winter, unusually dear prices
for all descriptions of provisions, and the to
tal stagnation of trade. The poor were in a
deplorable condition, and many thousand la
borers were without food, excepting the
supplies of charity. In consequence, riots in
Liverpool continued for two days.
ft is officially announced by the Allies that
on the 19th of February, Gen. Liptandi, with
40,000 Russians and seventy guns, attacked
the Turks at Eupatoria, commanded by Omar
Pacha. The battle lasted four hours, when
the Russians retired with a loss of 500.
Lord Raglan is said to have resigned, to
avoid a recall. Earl Lucan and some other
officers have been invited to resign.
Louis Napoleon seems determined to pro
ceed to the Crimea. He has been advised by
&Inland and Austria to stay at home.
The Moniteur announces the loss of the
French frigate with troops in the straits of
Bonefacio ; all perished, amounting to 600
persons.
The Vienna Conference will be opened in
a few days, and all parties are said to pos
sess anxiety for peace.
The members of the Government express
confident hopes that the pending negotiation
may lead to an honorable peaZte, although
war measures continue all over Europe. '
The War in the Crimea
The correspondent of the London Times,
'before Sebastopol, gives the following sum
mary of the operations :
CAMP I3SFORE SiIIASTOPOL, Feb. 6.
The cold and frost have almost disappear
,ed : the only traces of winter remaining to
us are patches of snow on the hill-sides and
in the ravines, and the blanched mountain
_ridges in thefar distance, or the rotten roads,
in which the blackened snow still lies in
masses perforated by deep holes, dangerous
to horse and mart-. The thermometer is up
to 52 Oeg. A low fever, a kind of billions
attack, wising from a disordered liver, pre
mails rather extensively.
There was a murderous fire kept up for
about arlhour yesterday morning, between
.the French and Russians. The Russians cut
into the gallery of a French mine, and des
troyed-an officer of Engineers and some men
by smoke balls, after which they blew up the
mine. But our allies had their revenge.—
When the Russians came out, as usual, last
night the French got three 18 pounders in
_readiness, and carefully laid them on the ap
proach to the sallyport, nicely stored with
grape and canister. The enemy made their
-sortie , under a tremendous cannonade from
the batteries, and then rus*d in upon the
works, but they were receivftwith such de
st:uctive volleys of minies and musketry, -
lhat they were speedily driven over the
-trench towards the town. The three guns
were fired right into their reheating columns
at short ranges, and continued to plough them
up with round shot till they got under cover
of their works. Seven Russians were killed
inside the trenches, and remained there.—
Many wounded men were carried off, and it
is conjectured that ' 250 or 300 were killed
and wounded before they reached the town.
The French lost about 50 in killed and woun
ded.
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 7.—There was an ex
tremely hot contest last night between the
French and Russians ; the cannonade, which
sounded all over the camp, lasted about an
hour. The enemy, not satisfied with what
they had y :;3ite, are sin; laboring hard
at the works in the rear of Malakhof (or the
Round Tower, j and at 3 o'clock to day they
had about 1200 men employed on the earth
slopes and parapets of the batteries. It is
believed that the neighborhood of this tower
is being extensively mined. The French
mortars have already begun to tell on the
stonework of the buildings opposite their bat
terics—in a few days our allies will be able
to inflict tremendous damage on the town.
Lord Raglan has ordered 10 of our 13 inch
mortars to be lent to the French. A formi
dable fire will he opened by bombs alone,
and stone itself must at last give way before
it. As the severity of the bombardment in
creases, it may be expected that the efforts of
the Russians to destiny the works will be
made night after night with greater invetera
cy and vigor, but the mortar platforms are
well covered, and are retired behind numer
ous works, though the greater part of the
sow kern side of the Civilian Town of Sebas
topol lies within 2000 yards of them. The
parapets and trenches are said to be in better
order than they were on the first day of the
siege. All the other workS are equally im
proved, and when the fire re-opens, its vol
umeaud weight will be prodigious. I should
state, however, that the French Engineer,
General Niel, who visited the English trench
es recently, expressed a decided opinion that
the batteries were too far to produce any sub
stantial results.
FEB. B.—The Russians have actually re
turned to . the heights over the valley of Ba
lakla.va towards the left of the Tchernaya,
and have re-occapied the hills and ravines
about Kamara and Tchorgoun in some force.
They appear to be casting up the intrench
merits along their front, and it was quite evi
dent, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, that they
were getting up two heavy guns on a space
of -land close to "Canrobert's Hill," which
would enable them to annoy our convoys
across the plain to the camp very cosidera
biy.
At present there is no telling of the ex
act
force of the Russians in our rear, but the
spy. fixed them
,at 35,000 men. Military
critics say our generals ought to drive the
Russians from a position which causes great
ernbartassruent and danger to our armies. -
The siege Makes slow progress on our side.
The French have been bombarding from 10
large mortars for the last twenty-Pour hoots,
without odocing any apparent 1 - • ffe t com
mensurate with the weight of such a tremen
dous mass of metal as they are tin °win.. in
to the town. They tire about four laige shells
every minute for six hoots in the twent , y-four,
and then reduce the fire to one or two shells
a minute. The Russians have directed a tol
erably- strong fire on the mortars, but they
have done no considerable damage of any
kind.
The London Post °facially announces that
the F.;ll ,, lit.it army had on the 6th of February i
21.000 men lit for service. again, exclusive of
the Naval Bi igade.
Letters from before Sebastopol of the sth
received at Paris, say :
"General Niel is still here, and ur;;,Yes on
the siege works. General Pelissier is expec
ted from one moment to another. The weath
er is still fine, - and the return of sunshine
brings comfort and animation to our troops.
The position of our allies (the English) is ev
idently improved. With the exception
of two regiments, the whole of the army
have received their winter clothing. They
have also received provisions in abundance.
Three hundred mules arrived by the Trent
steamer, are employed in transporting-wood
en huts to their camp, and it is certain that
in a few days the whole of our allies will be
under excellent shelter. Our, actual force in
the Crimea amounts to from 110,000 to 115,-
000 men, 100,000 of whom are occupied with
the siege operations. The position of the
enemy is still the same. - The Russians have
a corps of 8,000 men on the Tchernaya.—
The remainder of their forces are making
preparations to attack Eupatoria. General
Osten-Sacken commands' them. The allies
are at work day and night to place the
town in a state of defense. They have con
structed all around it formidable earthen
works, on which they have placed guns of
large calibre. The .garrison is composed
of 14,000 Turks and 8,000 French and Eng
lish."
Russian Preparations
Private letters from Warsaw and Odersa
severally notice the absence of the principal
Russian generals from their posts as an in
dication that no immediate hostile collision
is expected. Prince Paskiewitch, comman
der of the army of the south ; is at St. Peters
burg, as well as the Crown Prince of Russia,
whose corps,, the 'Gpenadiers, is in Poland.
Prince Cortschak off is on a tour of inspection
in Bessarabia, the rumor that his head quar
ters were to be removed to Odessa being un
founded. The Russian Government, aware.
of the intention of. Austria and France to co
operate in certain' cases against the south of
the Empire, have made preparations of a mag
nitude coriesporiding to the occasion, in that
quarter. By a private letter, we are inform
eb that—lsmael has been considerably forti
fied, especially within the last three months.
This place contains large stores of ammu
nition and provisions for the army. Vast
buildings have 'been erected to form roomy
military hospitals. A great many _vehicles
are still — employed for conveying thither arti
cles of food and forage for the cavalry, and
the preparations indiCate generally the inten
tion of-the Russian general in-chief to make
Ismael the general depot for the army of the
Danube.
Letters of the 4th, from the seat of war,
received in Vienna, state that Prince Ments
chikoff has his head quarters at Divankoi, on
the Belbek, where the two Grand Dukes are
also at present. There are only 18,000 men
now at Sebastopol, as the troops of the north
ern forts have left them, in order to form a
defensive corps on the Beibek. The offen
sive army is commanded by Osten Sacken
and Liprandi, and the task assigned them is
to attack the allies on the •Tchernaya, in
case of an attempt to storm Sebastopol.—
Gen. Pavioff commands at Perekop.
The Russian troops on the Belbek. are
about 30,000 strong ; they are lodged in holes
made in the g_round. Prince Mentschikoff
has fortified by earth-works the spot at
which the waters of the Katcha and the Bel
beck separate; and this advantageous posi
tion protects the communications between
Sebastopol and Simferopol. •
MARSEILLES, Feb. 24.—Advices from the
Crimea, dated are 14th inst., brought to Mal
ta by the Arabia in 63 hours from Constan
tinople, announce that some thousand Rus
sians, who accompanied the Grand Duke
Michael to Sebastopol, had been frozen to
death.
France
The decision of the Emperor Napoleon as
to the Crimea is represented as still doubtful
by ate Paris correspondence of last evening.
The Paris correspendent of the Morning
Chronicle, writing on Sunday night, says :
General Niel, whom the Emperor sent to the
Crimea to report on the state of the siege
operations, only returned to Paris on Friday.
The result of his visit has' been a change of
tactics. Sebastopol is to be invested; anoth
er point of attack has been chosen. Four
batteries are to be erected at a distance of
600 metres from Fort Malakoff, which will
unite the French and Enolish works, and
enable them to concentrate an overwhelming
force against the place and render it untena
ble; their works will be completed between
the 10th and 20th of March. The Allies
will then open fire with 400 guns. It is cal
culated that if the Emperor leaves Paris on
the 7th, he could reach the Crimea by the
18th of March.
Russia_ and Sardinia
BERLIN, Sunday-, Feb. 25.—Advices from
St. Petersbnr4 of the 17th, state that Count
Nesselrode has issued a circular despatch, ex
pressing the Emp-•ror's disapprobation of
the conduct of Sardinia. War is declared
against Sardinia. Notice has been given-to
Sardinian vessels to leave the Russian ports.
The excquatur• has been withdrawn from the
Sardinian Consuls. The Russian agents at
Genoa and Nice have been recalled. The
propel ty of Sardinian subjects has been pla
ced under the protection of the laws.
