T H E R ] 1 \ J Wa . Txud Moat Important...
T H E R ] 1 \ J WA . Txud moat important feature of tho week with regard to the war is the rumoured resignation of Omar Pacha . Tlio announcement is as follows :- — " Bucharest , Jan . 20 . "Omar Pacha has resigned . The reason Is that Ismail Pacha , who is at the head of tho army of Roumelia , has not been made subject to his orders . " It should be observed that as yet this statement has not been confirmed , nor contradicted . The decisive news is of the usual description . On tho 13 th the Russians made a violent assault on the . English and French lines . The affair began with a heavy cannonade on the part of the enemy , and the Rnasiann ennio on with considerable speed over tho shovr . ' The conflict , however , did not last long . Tho Iiuflainns wero spcodlly repulsed with considerable
slaughter , while our loss was only 14 missu )& . aud 1 officer and 19 men . wounded . The Russian accounts of this vary , as usual , in every particular ; but the above is undoubtedly . correct . On the 22 nd the liussians ,-. oh . a simiLrr occa * sion , met with similar results . Shot and shells began to damage , the works of Sebastopol .. The . Frenclt Tirailleura sought to enter the suburbs through the breaches . These attempts frequently succeeded . The defences are directed by General Osten-Sacken . A Russian despatch , dated St . Petersburg , Jan . 30 ,
and given of course " with all reserve , " states that " Prince Menschikoff writes from the Crimea , under date of Jan . 22 : ln the night of the 19 th to the 20 th wo made a sortie against the left flank and centre of the French trenches , which was completel y successful . The enemy ( the Allies ) suffered greatly . Two officers and several soldiers were made prisoners . Having need of fuel , our adversaries did not even respect the ancient temple of Cliersonesus . They took off the roof and the cupola , and burnt several of the internal ornaments . '" Our own accounts of the same date do not mention this .
An important change has been effected ; part of the English lines are uow under the care of the French , wliich will make the strength of the two armies , in relation to the work , not so unequal as it was . General Canrobert says , doubtless in better French than his , translator ' s English : — " The English have ceded to us a portion of their lines—namely , the works commanding and destined to batter in breach the MalakofF Tower , on which , a serious attack will most likely be made within a short delay . " " The warlike operationa in the Crimea , " says aVieuna
journal , " seem to develop themselves in a- manner which responds to the diplomatic negotiations . At least , the extensive plans of operation which the French , English , and Ottoman generals are reported to have agreed to , indicate that the exertions of the Allies do not merely aim at the conquest of Sebastopol , but that the conquest of the Crimea entire is now intended , in order to gain a strong basis for the further operations against Russia , which may hereafter become as injurious to that Power as once were the horde-like wanderings of the Tartar tribes . " '
Thirty-two thousand Turks have now been conveyed to Eupatoria . Regarding future plans , the Times correspondent says : — __• - " — — — ' ~ - < " Without stating too explicitly what means the generals of the allied armies propose to take in _ order to prevent the enemy availing themselves of the communication between the interior and the beleaguered side of the city , it is not too much to say that active measures will at " last be taken to effect that object , and that those measures will be connected with very considerable deviations from the original plan of attack , which will , it is hoped , have the effect of taking much of the defences of the place in flank and in reverse . Two strong divisions of French troops will leave their camps on -the left of our position , and will march over towards Inkerman in a day or two . They will take up ground on our right o ^ vw ~ th « Tcfiemaya . ' Tlii 8 . nv (> va » ej » twui ~ be * made in connexion witu the plan oi operations to be carried into effect against the place as soon as the weather will permit us to Avork . There was a conference of generals , French and English , at Lord liaglan ' s quarters yesterday , and Sir Edmund Lyons rode over to attend it . Within the last few days the gallant admiral has been frequent in his visits to his lordship , and these visits arc looked upon as certain tokens that some active operations arc under discussion and consideration , just as the appearance of the stormy petrel is regarded as a sign of high seas and rough weather by tho * mariner . " The Militarische Zetinmj snys that two French divisions , under General Polisaior , are to join Q-otar Pacha ; and that Perekop is to bo attackixl , and , if possible , taken by the combined force * . General Marmora ' s force will land in the bay * of Kinffn , uuder the protection of the guns of a squadron of the allied fleet , and will threaten the communications , by way of the Isthmus of Arabad . IHiis Piedmunieso detachment will embark fur its destination on the 28 th of February , and will bo reiuforced by 6 orne Anglo-French troops . RUSSIAN FACTS . A report in tho Journal fie St . P & lerahovrg states that in tho defence of Sebastopol , from the 5 th of October to tho 17 th of November , tho Kueninns have sustained tho following losses : —Generals , 1 killed , 3 wounded ; superior officers , 4 killed , 24 wounded ; subalterns , 14 killed , 104 wounded ; sub-omcers and sailors , 789 killed , and 2984 wounded . A letter from Warsaw , quoted by the Cologne Gazette , says that tho loss mistainod by the Russian activo army ( tliut is " the Grand Army , " under Prince Pnskiewitsoh ) , duriug tho year 1854 , has amounted to 111 , 182 men , of which 29 , 204 wero kulod * 55 , 801 wounded , 0420 doaortera and , absent , while 16 , 156 have died of divers disuses . Tho Military Gazette of Vienna announces tho receipt of a telegraphic despatch , to tho effect that'the 'Emperor of Russia hus requested an armistice of six weeks .
