      The most important feature of the week with regard to the war . is the rumoured resignation of Omar ltacha . The announcement is as follows : — " Bucharest , Jan . 29 . '**" Omnr Pacha -has'resigned . The reason is that Ismail Pncha , who is at the head of tho army of ltoumelia , has not been made subject to hia orders . " It should bo observed that as yot this etatomont has not been confirmed , nor contradicted . The decisive news is of the usual description . On the 13 th the Russians made a violent assault on the English and French lines , The affair began with a heavy cannonade on tho . part of \ he enemy , nnd the Russians came on with considerable speed over tho snow .. The conflict , however ,. did not last long . Tho Russians were speedily repulsed with considerable

      slaughter , while our loss . was only 14 missing , rod 1 officer and-19 men wounded , The Russian accounts of-this-. va * y , as visual , in every-particular ; but the above is « ndoubtedly ., cop rect . Oxi the 22 nd the Rtu ; sians , oiv a , . similar occasion , met with-similar results . Shot > and >» hell » l > egan to -damage the works of Sebastopol . The ^ French Tirailleurs sought to . enter the suburbs -through the breaches . These -atteaapts fre / jttentjy « u < sceeded . 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 ' 'Tilnce Mensehikoff writes from the "Crimea , under date of Jan , 22 : 'In the night of the 19 th to the 20 th we made a : sortie against the left flank and centre of the French trenches , which was completely successful . The « nemy ( 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 Chersonesus . 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 now binder the care- of the French , which-will make the strength « f the two armies , in relation to the work , not so unequal as it was . General Ganrobert says , doubtless-in better French than his translator ^ - English : — " . I / he English have ceded to us a portion of their lines— : namely , the works commanding and- destined to batter , in breach the MaJakoff Tower , on which , a serious attoek . will moet likely cbe made within 4 i « shorfc . delay . "

      " The warlike . operatiensin theCrimaa , " says-a . Vienna journal , " seem to develop-themselves ma ^ aanner which responds to the diplomatic . negotiations . At ; leost , the extensive plane of operation which the French , English , and Ottoman generals are reported to have % agreed to , indicate that the ecsertions 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 thowand , TParks Jiaase mow % een 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 eftect that object , and that those measures will be connected with , very considerable deviations from the origi nal plan of Attack , which w ill , 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 inarch over : towards

      Inkerman in a , day or two . They will take- » p . ground on our right over the Tchernay * . Ibis jnovemontmill be madu in connexion with the , plan of operations to fee carried into effect against the place as soon as the weather will permit us to work . There was a conference of genecala , French and English , at Loud Kaglan ' 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 are looked npon as certain tokens that some active opei'ations are under discussion and consideration , just as the appearance of the stormy petrel is regarded as a'sigu of high seas and rarrffh ¦ weather' by the marmer . "

      The MUitarische JZcitnng says that tivo . French divisions , under General JMissior , are < x > Join . Omar Pacha ; ami that Perekop is to be Attacked , and , if'possible , taken by the-combined forces . General Marmora ' s < force will land in the bay of . Kaffii , under the protection of the guns of-a « q » adton . of . the allied fleet , . and will threaten the communications . by way of the Isthmus of . Arabad . Thia l iedinonte « e detachment will embark for- its -destination on the .. 28 th of . February , and will be reinforced byjsonae Anglo-French troops .

      JiUSSIAN FACTS . A report in the Journal de / St .: P 4 terabourg states that i n tho dofence of Sebastopol , from the 5 th of Octobor to the 17 th of November , the Kussinna have suBtaincd tho following losses : —Generals , 1 killed , 3 womulod ; superior officers , 4 killed , " 24 wounded ; subalterns , 14 killed , 104-wounded ; sub-officora and sailors , 789 killed , and 2934 wounded . A letter from Warsaw , quoted by tho Cologne Gazette , says that the loss sustained by the Rowuau activo army ( that iu " tho Grand Army , " under X * rincc l ' askiawitsch ) , during the year 1864 , has amounted to 111 , 182 men , of which 29 , 204 were killed , 55 , i )() i wounded , ( 5120 deserters and absent , while 16 , 160 Uavo died of divers dirfouses .
