A despatch from Lord Raglan, dated February 10, appeared in
the Ga- zette last night, but it reports "nothing material or important" "The health of the troops continues to improve in some slight degree. They are amply supplied with warm clothing and with provisions. Forage is our only want ; and this arises chiefly from the Commissary-General not- receiving from England the supplies of hay upon which he has reckoned."
The correspondent of the .Daily News at Eupatoria sends the following interesting intelligence via Bucharest. " Etcpatoria, February 17.-The Russians attacked Eupatoria this morn- ing. They were commanded by Liprandi ; and their numbers were 20,000 infantry and 6000 cavalry. They commenced the attack an hour before day- break, and had with them seventy guns. The conflict lasted three hours. The assault was signally repulsed. The steamers threw shells among the assailants. The Russians have 500 men hors de combat, the Turks 150. Omar Pasha commanded in person. Selim Pasha, the Egyptian, was killed. Vast masses of cavalry and artillery are now assembled round Eupatoria."
