NEWS 01' THE WAR.

OFFICIAL DISPATCH FROM THE ALLIID CAMP.

Marshal Vaillant. French Minister of War, has received the following report, dated Dec. 23, I854, from General Canrcbert.

“ Monsieur lo Murcchal.—The bad weather has been prolon d until now, with rare and brief intervals 0 improvement; nevertheless we continue as much as ssiblc the work of on- closing the place with our trenches, and although the rdius make the movement of vehicles difficult, all the siege works are grow- ing to completeness and consolidation. “The two armies reciprocally assist each other. To the Eu lish army I am indebted for tho conveyance, y water, of nearly all the cavalry at my dis cal in the rimea, and on my part, I have p need at Lord Rn lau’s dis-

sal sumpter-horses for removing is sick to

laklavn, and teams for the conveyance of his supplies. These cxchauges contribute to keep up the excellent relation and perfect cordiality between the two armies.

“ Hardly a night passes in which our ad- vanced works are not attack in a sortie of the encmy.—'I‘hesc attempts generally cost the assailants dear. Yestcrdu , at 2 o’clock in the morning, the Russians, a 1' me a sortie against the third parallel of the Eu ish, who vigorousl repulsed them, made a similar de- monstration against the contra and left of our works. Received with a very lively and well- directed fire, they retired before our soldiers, who pursued them with the bayonet. The ene- my lcft a cat number of dead upon the hold.

“ In or or to render the protection of the trenches more eflicicnt, I have organized a cc of volunteers whosc peculiar duty it is to recon- noitrc the approaches to our work durin the night. This institution com letcs that o the sharpshooters (francs-tircurs or izcd at the commencement of the siege, on who do duty bfledacy in our trenches themselves. They hav a a y done a great deal of harm to the enemy.

“ As I have already announced to on, our works now extend to the bottom 0 the Quarantine bay. The enemy shows, that he is not inattentive to our progress on that side, and his guns hotly dispute the ground with us, where we are oblige , as we are nearly every- where, to dig into the solid rock. But our pro- gress is not the less real, and we remain in possession.

“ I have already informed on that the enemy has withdrawn his left, an evacuated those points in the valley of Bulaklava where we had

reviously seen him in large masses. The day before yesterday, wishing to ascertain the situ- ation he had to on up in that direction, I sent out a force oonsistin of n cavalr brilgnde, under the command 0 General d'A onvi e, to recounoitre as for as the vil of Tchour- Behind the village of Kama:-a they fell few hundred sbarpshooters, whom they drove back into the ravines. Some groups of cavalry, aocom nied by their artillery, and a few battalions of infantry appeared on the flanks of the party making the recounoisaucc, but they did not attempt to ofi‘er any opposition to the o ration of the latter, which was most success ully executed.

At the same time, 1,000 foot soldiers, Bigh- landers and Zouavcs, left Bulaklava to the right of our positions, and ex lorcd the heights t at extend towards the valey of Baidari. They only met a posse of Cossac s.

“ In due, I think that on the left bank of the Tchcrndya the enemy has only a few soldiers posted to observe our position at a distance. A movement has evident] been produced in the Russian army, the pro blc cause of which is the debnrkatiou of the Turkish troops still going on at Eupatoria. I shall soon receive positive information on this head.

“ Although the number of the sick has slightl increased, in consequence of the con- stant mpuess in which we live, the sanitary state of the army is satisfactory, and the moral spirit of the troops is perfect.

Although the soldiers have been heavily in- convenienced by the rains, there has been no cold weather ; the snow, which for a long time

at has covered the tops of the mountains in the interior, has not appeared on the hill-plains we cccup and the thermometer has not once fallen be ow serc. These general conditions are improved by the care we take of our sol- diers; and, thanks to the prudent foresight of the Emperor and his Government, the army enjoys a relative degree of comfort that makes it ' support with a lighter heart its

fatiglues. _ _ “ be number of the sick in our militar- hospitals at Constantinople amounts to 37 , of whom 1387 are wounded. Out of this total 206 are Russians. I have established a conval- escent depot in the Crimea, near the Ba 0 Karatch. Here the men who leave the army ambulances, and who only require a littlerc- pose before they return to their duty, will have their recovery promoted.—-This measure will diminish our droughts to Constantinople.

As for the land of theliirimea, it consists of three kinds of scenery —Bnssian ' s, Tartar defiles, and the south coast for w ver can get andhold it. The Russians «not hold their plains in win- ter ; and those plains, it must be remembered, stretch from far in the interior to Simfcro l. The Tarhrs who live in the deliles, buil ing their villages on the shelves of the rocks, like wild bees setting up their hon combs in a hollow tree, hate the Russiauswi hatred, and certainly will not make them w come to their perilous strcn holds. There was a do when every reigning ince of the vari- ous_ ussian stntesha to to theGolden Horde for iuvcstitnrc, and to do oma for his domi- nions to the Tartar Khan.

These Tax-tars know, and will readil tell, what food there is stored up in their va eye. The others are Germans, with a good many Bulga- rians, who, if once tempted so far by the pros- pect of gain, prove themselves a wonderfully inful people. The neigbors say of them that boy _work like horses, scrape together like magpies, and live like hogs; in ct or words, they have stores of produce read for our mar- ket. ng the coast there are shermen, who catch mackerel enough in their autumn plump- ness to send into the ve centre of Russia, to the point of encounter with the fish of the Bal- tic. of osc hermen are wrecked mariners of all nations, who will be leased to deal with our soldiers while the Russians roads are stopped. on is an immense quantity of me in the forests in the valley and on the s opes under the precipices. These y reci- ices are ca pad with snow at u heig t o 4000 set above t a level of the see, when below the pastures are green, and the vines and pome- uates need four no iu'urious frost. The aws, owls, eagles, and smn ler cliff birds come out and sun themselves at the mouths of their holes, when the Scythian north wind is blow- ing out to sea over their heads ; and the small game and sheep, goats, and cattle below, know nothiu of winter. ow, it is under these precipices that, in spots properly chosen, hand and pzpdent men my winter perfectly wel .

Good winter clothing is on its way to both armies; and there seems to be no reasonable doubt, that stores of food could be laid up, or obtained when wanted. There are granaries in various parts of the Sea of Arch‘, always full when exportation is checked ,bccnuse the roads become impassable too early to allow of the corn being sent back into the interior.-— These ports surround a sea which is usually as calm as a lake—its depth being no where more than 42 feet.
