SATURDAY , APRIL 29, 1854. 
NEWS OF THE WEEK. 
Early in the week a statement was received by the 
electric telegraph to the effect that Odessa had been 
bombarded by the combined fleets, and partially 
destroyed, and we had even details ; — the Russian gun- 
ners had defended themselves gallantly, but had been 
compelled to surrender. But it was speedily alleged 
that this account was disbelieved, aud since then it has 
been contradicted. After all, however, it may only be 
that the reporter’s watch, like Marmont’s, was a little 
too fast, for we are apprised that the departure of the 
fleets for Odessa was “ imminent.” Thegreatest irrita- 
tion existed among the officers and crews at the 
delay. The ships were illuminated when in the 
receipt of the declaration of war, and were eager 
to be led against the enemy. Moreover, this 
irritation had been naturally increased, it appeared, by 
the conduct of the Russians. The Fury steamer had 
been sent to Odessa, under a flag of truce, to bring 
away the English Consuls and subjects. But, notwith- 
standing the flag, she had been tired into. bhe 
appears to have determined on avenging herself, and 
to have seized a Russian schooner, but, while 
bearing it away, she was chased by tive ships of war 
from Sebastopol, and wus compelled to abandon the 
prize, though retaining the crew as hostages. In re- 
ference to this it may as well he remembered, that it 
is not very long ago we were informed that all the 
Russian ships had been locked up in Sebastopol, and 
therefore, that either the report, although official, was 
untrue, or that Admiral Duudas has made some singu- 
lar mistake. But we suppose that the Admiral will now 
feel it desirable to clear the sea of the enemy’s vessels. 
At the last advices, the fleets were still at Kavarna, pro- 
bably with the intention of affording assistance to the 
Turkish army. It is stated that severe encounters had 
taken place near the wall of Trajan, and that the losses 
of the Russians had been very heavy. They did not 
appear to be advancing, but to be fortifying themselves 
in the Dobrutsclia. f 
The state of the war, as regards the land forces oi 
England and France, was merely this. Large bodies, 
both of French and English troops, had been lande : , 
and a portion of them were moving up towards tn^ 
enemy, but at present the distance must be somethin^ 
more than respectful. The Turks appeared to . 1 
ceiving their Christian allies with great cordiality* 
especially at Constantinople. Lord Raglan must a 
arrived by .this time, and the Duke ot Cambridg e, w 
proceeded to Vienna to be present at the marriage 
the young emperor, had departed for Trieste at 
1 n at ndvipps.
