Oniy two ot the French divisions sere engaged. It was seppo-ed that General Canrobert would take advan- tage ef the “complets defeat” cf the Russians, and at once aseauit Sebastopol, Ancther despatch tells nesrly the same story, with the adaition that the battle “ which was most wurcerous,” lasted -eight hours. It also says that three English generat: were killed. The Lioyd hes seen the following telegraphic des- hb from Backarest.:— “ On the Gih the Russians, with an overpowering force, attacked the English position, Lord Raglan the ee of ss and was st .

Prince Menschikof announces, under date of No- vember 6th, that on the 5th two sorties were made from Sel |\—the one against the right wing of the enemy and the o:her agaiust the left wing ot his siege works. Tie consequence of tte rally ugainst whe rigat wing, was that the gues of a battery were spiked. The lose om both sides was very c usi ter- @vie.

His successor is Admiral Nachimoff, wbo on the 17th lost his left ear.

The appearance of the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael in the Crimea must be con sidered a very unfavorable omen, as it is hardly to be supposed that the Emperor would have pr mitted them to go there if the Rossian army tisd not been 80 wpheen fi powerful as to render a deteat almost impossible. According to @ Russian letter of the 26th of October, from Sabastopol, some parts of the town had suffered severely, but no vessel had been ixjured excepting tre well known steamer Vladimir. which bad received two shots in her hull.“ ‘The loss in officers and soldiers,” says the Russian writer, ‘and more particularly in sail- ors, is very great.” The,Russian soldiers distingnish- ed themselves extremely, and are said to set about their work in the batteri¢s with the greatest coolness, although they are exposed to an incessant storm of red hot bala and grenades. “The missiles of the brett shia the streets and public places, and, if the mbardment continues as it has begnn, the bed of tue southern harbor will be paved with iron.

[From the London Times, November 20.} It is uo mere figure of speech, but a plain matter of fact, that at this moment the houor, the credit, and tne actual power of this country depend, to an immeasurable, extent, on the fsme of she cn- test in the Crimea. We have no wish to give unecessary trouble or pain, but we mut renind all whem it may concern that the hrave lirtle band, for such it is, fighting for us in toe East, is expored both to the most serious constant difficulties and losses, and a'so to the most ternble chances of war. There is the constant drain by cbolera, by r, by exoesure to the weatner, and by over work. ‘There 1s the certain spproach of winter, more or less severe, but not very favorable for camp life, even if compara- tively mild. There is the certain and con-tant drain by the repeated attacks of an eremy who con afford to lose two to our one. Taeze are constant and calculable certainties, as certain as the statis- tics of the Regi-trar General at nome. Bus there ae algo the chances or the caruaities of tue war.

Future hisio rians would ssk bow /t was that, having sent out, atan rnormons cost, the very flower of our army to the East, we alicwed it to waste away and come to disaster, or at least to return unsuccessful.

These troops bad not joined Lord Roglan’s army at the cate of our last Jetters, but have doubtless sinca reached tre Crimea. When the contest assumed a more obstinate char- acter, and the Russian generals «+re foun? to be in force enough to attack us in our lines, the necessity for reinforeements on a larger scale bacawe ur- gent, ond within the last ten «ays six powerful sieam tran ts,or men of war, carrying on an average 600 rank and file each, have been dew pat hed to the Crimes; and it may be anticipaced that they will land 3,500 men at Balakiava about the 5th of December. At the same time, the 34th end 7lst regiments wil! proceed from Corfu, the 17th and 89th regiments trom Gioraltsr, and the 90th from Dublin. ‘hese five baitalions are at their full strength -of 850 rank and tile, and consequently form an addisional body of 4,250 men.

Tosum up this statement, it ap- pears from these details that in the inst four months not less than 19,000 Britieb infantry bave been added to Lord Raglan’s origioal ermy of 20,000, and of these about 15,000 men are freali trcops from England or the British garrivons in jediterranean, who will arrive in the Crimea in the bighest state cf efficiency at the most critical moment of the camoaign.

But it ia perfectly clear that this road umst be just as open tou to her, and cannot possib'y be aay more avaliable for her purposes than tor ours. If she can advance from the Cxspian, we can advance Jrom the Indus; ifshe could assatl as in this man- ner, we could play the very came game. We now, therefore, bring this question to issue, hy asking ony sensible reacer to Biter what, would be his opinion if he hears that the Beitub government proposed ait g Russia by way of Cebul and Tartary, and thet in the execution of such a scheme 6 “ Britisy force” was already at Bokhara? Be would at once conclude at either toe government whieh devised the scheme, or the joamplists who announced it, had gone mad. We did Gi ce resolve upon the invasion of Affehauistan; but, though we vindicated the honer of our arms, we were well enough plessed to get back again, As to Bobhora, though two British officers were theught to be contined there, and though the greatest cetire was felt to rescue them, we did not | 80 much as atiempt to reach the piace by any | military force, but contented ourselves with com- | missioning an adventurous traveller to discover | them.

We coal} not conquer Tarta'y, because it presents no tangible point of attack, avd because onr tinest army would but perish in its deserts.

If toe intrigues of Rassia are, indeed, to be dreaded either in Persia or Tartary, it is in the Crimea, and there on y, that the cteck can be effectuslly applied.

THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE POLICY OF THE GERMAM POWERS. {From the London Times, Nov, 27.] Tf our readers bave ever attentively watched the whirlings and eddyings of a little brook, they have seen a leaf or come equally light and buoyant ma- terial sweep boldly down the stream for a little while, and then, suddenly arrested by some unfore- seen cause, become moticnices or whirl round and r , Sometimes seeming on the point of atemmin, the current down which it has descended, and some- times resuming its onward course, until at last the general flow and impulse overpower the moment causes which have arrested it, and the leaf on with @ rapidity and decision which only cause us to wonder how it could so long have hesitated and delayed. Any one may see in this similitude a toletably accurate representation of the past, pre- sent, and future of the two great German Powers. When the current of European public opinion set strongly and deci¢edly against the Emperor ot Rus- sia and his oggreesion on Tarkey, Austria and even “Prussia were for a while borne away by the stream, and, either from an impulse of that independence which the most inveterate habit of subserviency capnot wholly extinguish, or from the prompting of an instinct of self-preservation, or from that homage which a'l men in their tearts do, and most met in their actions pretend, to render to truth and justice, joined the ranks of those who avowed their intention of setting limits to the encroach- ments and effectually curbing the ambition of tha Czar.

We publish a derpatch this morning from Westport, from a first rate source, which settles the question of the election a Kansas Territory. Whitt (pro- slavery) is elected by an overwhelming ty over Mr. Flenniken, ex Minister to Dem 5 ta vere lition candidate for Congress in Kansas. Whitfield was elected, whatever others may say to the contrary, on the slavery q ion, and no other. His ent was supported giant and the free States. hitfield received the vote of those who P to slavery, and believed that the ra. ‘erritory were entirely competent to settle this question for themselves, without the intervention of the fnctionists and abolitionists of the North. They have voted that way now, and will do so again on occasion. It strikes us that the abolitionists ‘of the free States may learn something from this ion, They have given aid to a good many people to go into Kansas with the view of controlling the election, but, somehow or other, they have come up missing. They are not there—at least the vote does not show that they were there—and we doubt whether they ever will be there in sufficient numbers to control an election.
