BANSLATION OP A TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH RECEIVED BV 
THE DUKE OP NEWCASTLE, ON 16TH NOVEMBER, 12.30 
A.M., FROM LORD RAOLAN. 
November 6. 
The enemy, with immense forces, attacked yesterday, in 
he dawn of morning, the right of the English position 
jefore Sebastopol, which was defended by the Second 
Division, and the Brigade of Guards of the First Light 
Division, the Fourth Division and part of the Third, and 
subsequently by the division of General Bosquet, and other 
corps of the French army, which by their gallant conduct 
contributed essentially to the decided success of the day. 
General Canrobert immediately came to the spot, anil gave 
me the support of his assistance and of his excellent counsel. 
The battle was extremely obstinate, and it was not till past 
noon that the enemy was definitely repulsed and forced to 
retreat, leaving the field of battle covered with his dead and 
Beveral hundreds of prisoners. The number of the enemy 
much exceeded that which was opposed to us at Alma, and 
the losses of the Russians have been enormous. Our losses 
have also been very great. General Sir George Brown, 
Major -Gen oral Bentinek, Brigadier-General Adams, Buller, 
and Torrens, have boon wounded. They are all doing well. 
The conduct of the troops in the face of an enemy so 
superior in numbers has been excellent.

half-past four p.m., and forwarded to Kronstadt at six p.m.

DESPATCHES FROM LORD RAOLAN. 
(From the Supplement to the London Gazette Extraordinary of 
Thursday, the 16 th November.) 
War Department, Nov. 17, 12$ o’clock afternoon. 
His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has this day received 
three despatches and enclosures, of which the following are 
copies, addressed to his Grace by General the Lord Raglan, 
' Before Sebastopol, October 31, 1854. 
My Lord Duke,— Adverting to that part of your Grace's 
despatch of the 10th inst., No. 116, in which it is stated that 
her Majesty will be most anxious to receive such further 
accounts from me as may tend to relieve the affectionate 
auxiety of the friends of the wounded, I have the honour to 
acquaint your Grace that the Inspector-General of Hospitals 
lias reported, from personal observation, that the majority or 
the wounded are making satisfactory progress, although there 
is too much reason to apprehend that among such a number 
of severe and dangerous injuries, ft certain proportion of 
casualties must occur. 
I have, &c., Raglan. 
His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, &c., &c., &c. 
Before Sebastopol, Oct. 31, 1854. 
My Lord Duke,— When I wrote to your Grace on the 
28th instant, I was not in possession of the names of the 
officers of the Cavalry Division who had distinguished them- 
selves in the action of the 25th. 
I have now the honour to enclose a letter from Lieutenant- 
General the Earl of Lucan, containing the list of those whose 
services entitle them to bo specially mentioned, and I beg 
leave to recommend them to your Grace’s notice. 
Iu the despatch to which I above refer, I had the honour 
to draw your Grace's attention to the conduct of Major-Ge- 
neral the Earl of Cardigan and the Hon. Brigadier-Genernl 
Scarlett. 
I omitted, in my despatch of the 28tli September, to state 
that when, in the battle of Alma, Lieuteuant-Colonol Webber 
Smith was obliged, in consequence of being severely wounded, 
to leave the field, Major Champion assumed the charge of the 
96th, which your Grace will recollect was one of the regi- 
ments that suffered most ; and he gained great credit by the 
way in which he conducted the command. 
I am glad of the opportunity to repair this omission. 
I stated to your Grace ou the 28tli instant, that Major 
Dalton, of the 49th, hod been killed in the trenches ; this 
was an error ; the officer whose loss the service has to deplore 
is Major Powell, of the same regiment. I deeply regret that 
the mistake should have occurred. — I have, &c., Raglan. 
Hia Grace the Duke of Newcastle, &c., &c., &c. 
Before Sebastoptol, Oct. 30, 1854. 
Sib, — I n reference to my report of the aotion before Bala- 
klava, ou the 25th instant, I have now the honour to submit 
the uarnes of officers who, ou that occasion, well entitled 
themselves to the notice of the Commander of the Forces, and 
for whom I Beek his Excellency’s kind protection :—

Cavalry Brigade; Brigadier-General Scarlett, Commanding 
Heavy Brigade ; Colonel Lord George Paget, Commanding

The Military Secretary, &c. &c. &c. 
Before Sebastopol, November 3, 1854. 
My Lord Duke, — Since I wrote to your Grace, on the 
28th ultimo, the enemy have considerably increased their 
force in the Valley of the Tschernaya, both in artillery, 
cavalry, and infantry, and have extended to their left, not 
only occupying the village of Camara, but the heights beyond 
it, and pushing forward pickets, and even guns, towards our 
extreme right ; and these yesterday fired a few shots, 
apparently to try the range, which fell somewhat short. 
These movements have induced me to place ns strong a 
force as I can dispose of on the precipitous ridge in that 
direction, iu order to prevent any attempt to get round to 
Balaklava by the sea ; and the whole line is strengthened by 
a breastwork, which has been thrown up by the Highland 
Brigade, the Royal Marines, and the Turkish troops, thus 
circumscribing that part of the position ; whilst immediately 
in front of the gorge leading into the town, a strong redoubt 
is in course of being completed, which is to be garrisoned by 
the 93d Regiment, and armed with several guns ; and on 
high ground behind, and to the left, is a batteiy manned by 
seamen, which terminates the position to be defended by the 
troops under the command of Major-General Sir Colin 
Cambell. 
v moiH, reaay to move to tne assistance oi any o: tue untisn 
force that may be assailed, and maintaining the connection 
between the troops in the valley and those ou the ridge on 
which the main armies are posted. 
The harbour of Balaklava is under the charge of Captain 
Dacro8 of the Sanspareil, and Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund 
Lyons is in the roadstead outside, aud is in daily commu- 
nication tvith me. 
Thus every possible step has been taken to secure this im- 
portant point : but I will not conceal from your Grace, that I 
should be more satisfied if I could havo occupied the posi- 
tion in considerably greater strength. 
With reference to the operations of the combined armies 
engaged iu the attack on Sebastopol, I have the honour to 
state, that there is no material diminution iu the enemy’s 
fire ; and yesterday morning, two hours before daylight, the 
cauuouado from all parts of the south front was heavy iu 
the extreme, both on the French and British lines, and it 
occasioned, I deeply regret to say, some loss, but less thau 
might have been expected under the circumstances. 
In the meanwhile the French, who have before them the 
town and real body of the place, have taken advantage 
of the more favourable ground, and are carrying on ap- 
proaches systematically ou the most salient and command- 
ing part of the enemy’s lines ; and they have constructed and 
opened batteries, the precision of the fire from which has 
most materially damaged the Russian works, although as yet 
they have not succeeded in silencing their guns. 
The weather iB still fine, but it has become extremely cold, 
aud there was a severe frost last night. 
I beg to submit to your Grace the nominal returns of 
casualties amongst the non-commissioned officers and rank 
and file, from the 22d October to the 1st November, both 
days inclusive, and a list of officers killed and wounded 
between the 27th October and 1st November. 
Captain Maude, of the Horse Artillery, an excellent officer, 
is, I am assured, doing well.

&c., Raglan.
