Later from Europe Arrivals Bring Five Days More Crimea News
The steamer Agin lands at Malifax with five days of European news. In Sevastopol Russians again sortie mainly against the Preich while Allied reinforcements arrive. Prussia spurns the triple alliance yet sends an envoy to London to pursue a separate Franco British treaty. The British Parliament debates the foreign enlistment bill. The Times correspondent reports Sevastopol essentially suspended with exhausted forces but able to hold. French troops briefly occupy a citadel sector behind Russian lines before retreat. A Russian 2000 man assault on a French battery ends in a bayonet-driven French counterattack and Russian deserters claim worse Russian conditions, though southern defenses appear stronger. British batteries rise to command the town as 5000 French troops reach Constantinople en route to the Crimea.
