The allies have made a hew battery and effected certain repairs. The night of the 11 th and early on the morning oi the 12th, the Russians made a sortie from the Redan and the position before it, and spiked several guns in -the English batteries.

The French have placed two batteries on the ground conquered on the night of the Ist before the Central Bastion. The Trieste papers, of Friday last, publish the following despatch, which may be taken at whatever it may be worth :—" Eupatoria, May 4th.—80,000 Russians are menacing O.nar Pasha. Their cavalry is endeavouring to cut off the Allies' communications by land.
