II borvi if the fol. LONDO WED ESDAY EVENINt i SEPTEMBER 12 0455, SIR CHARLES NAPIER - 1 -REPORT OF GEN. JONES.-THE :ADMIRALTY. The following letters are a continuation of the correspondence between the Gallant Admiral and Sir James Graham. The observations of Sir Chas. Napier on the report of General Jones are printed in a smaller type within brackets. ,On the 31st of October the Admiralty wrote to Sir Charles as follows : No. XXII. (Copy.) Admiralty, Oct. Sl, 1854. You observe that " the opinion of General Jones did not differ from that of the flag officers" with respect to the attack on Sweaborg ; and you proceed to state what that opinion was, namely, " that the resources were not sufficient for such an enterprise, nor was the season of the year propitious." - . . You then quote a passage from the report of General Jones, which you say, is not at variance with this opinion. Yet General Jones distinctly stated, on the 27th of August, when 10,000 French troops, in addition to the Marines, were still present with the fleet, that if 5,000 men were landed on the Island of Bak Holmen, and if heavy batteries were constructed there, a simultaneous bombardment by land and sea would soon lay in ruins the dockyards, the storehouses, and the principal works of the enemy. [Had thair.lardallipst olinsan tv axamin . plokn.R, must have seen that it would have been madness to have landed troops, but that they would not see. Sebastopol was supposed to be taken, and they wanted a case against me.] You objected to this landing proposed by General Jones ; but you now contend that there was no differ ence with respect to the " mode" of the attack between the Flag Officers and the English General. With respect to " the tine," both necessary and best suited to the attack, you admit that a difference did exist; but you omit to notice the passage with which General Jones concludes his report, wherein he says, "that the clgae of the summer may probably be con sidered the best for bombarding Sweaborg ; as, the win ter following close on the destruction of the public esta blishments and buildings, would preclude the possibility of repairing or re-building them during a northern winter." [A very pretty reason indeed to attack a fortress, amongst sunken rocks, and in gales of wind.] General Jones, therefore, differing from the flag offi cers, thought, at the end of August, that there was time enough for the attack, and that the moment was most propitious. [ln this General Jones was proved, by the subsequent weather, to be mistaken.] Writing on the 13th of September, yon make the fol lowing remark on the entire plan of General Jones : " General Jonea proposed landing 5,000 men at Swea borg, and planting batteries against it, and he thought this a good season to do so." [lt would have been more than unwise— it would have been madness.] "Had the French General been unwise enough to follow this advice, and had the Admirals been indiscreet enough to have countenanced an operation that, by his account, required seven or eight days to have brought it to a successful termination, the troops would have been made prisoners, and probably half a dozen of the ships lost ; this would have made rather a bad finish to. the first campaign in the Baltic." This, surely, is a differ ence of opinion not confined to the " time," but extend ing to the " mode" of the proposed attack, and con firms the declarations of their lordships, that " adverse opinions " bad been presented to them. [lt is quite trite that adverse opinions had been presented to them by the two engineers, but not by the admirals ; they were unanimoug.] You further remark, in your last letter of the 26th of October, that if their lordships were led to believe by your report of the reconnaissance of Sweaberg, in your despatch of the 25th of September, that you contem plated an attack by the fleet alone, such an impression was erroneous, and that "there is not, one word in that ot. , ••EfiSra the idea that .uch was your Intention." [This is perfectly true ; but their lordships thought pro per to put one paragraph of my letter before another, and changed the sense of the letter altogether.] Paragraph 13 of that despatch commences with the words, "if Sweaborg were attacked by a flee.alone ;" and then follows a detailed plan of attack by naval means only, set forth at length in paragraphs 13, 14, and 15, and no mention whatever is made of the neces sity of military co-operation, until at the close of the despatch these words are added : " I have said nothing about troops ; but I have no doubt they could be most usefully employed." [Which was doubtful success, and not to be undertaken ark that season. True, but there is mention of gun-boats, mortar-vessels, rockets, &c.] Their lordships were under the impression, when they read this despatch, and when they deliberated on it, that the result of your second reconnaissance of Sweaborg was a conviction on your own mind that "the place might be attacked with cautio❑ and judgment by the /Fleet," and that the aid of troops was not indispensable. [Yes, it could be attacked with caution and judgment, and the cautious and judicious way was stated. Then followed the detail ; their lordships thought proper to apply that to an attack by ships aline, which is not true.] The words read by you in paragraph 16 (No. 516) are these :—" I beg that their lordships will not suppose for a moment that Sweaborg cannot be attacked. I think it can ; but it must be with caution and judgment." [Quite true, but to be done with caution and judgment. and not with ships Moue ; their lordships knew well my meaning.] On the 30th of May, writing from Hango Head (No. 108) you say :—" I send the plan of Sweaborg and Helsingfors, which appear to me unattackable either by sea or land ;" and again on the 24th of July (paragraph 2 in No. 296) you assume that " an attack on Sweaborg is entirely out of the question." [That opinion was formed by plans. sent by the Admi ralty before I had seen Sweaborg. That alluded to till few troops sent out, which their lordships know well, if they choose.] Surely the second reconnaissance of S weaborg, and your despatch of September 25th, founded on it, did open a new view of the question, and did demonstrate a change in your opinion, as expressed on the 30th of May, that " the place was unattackable by sea or land." [lt demonstrated no such thing ; because, in my de spatch to Sir James Graham, forwarding Chads' report, after seeing Sweaborg, the plan of attack was the same as after the second reconnaissance. I have already ■aid the report of the 30th of Illay was made before I saw Swes borg ; their lordships endeavour to keep out of view my report after seeing Sweaborg.l Their lordships are now told that their last impression was erroneous, with respect to the possibility of a sea attack ; for you declare an attack by the fleet alone t be a "desperate undertaking ;" and, although you add, "at this season of the year," writing on the 26th of October, yet at the Council of War held at Ledsund, on the 12th of September, the season even then wu considered too far advanced for an attack "on any for tified part of the coast of Russia with a chance of suc- cess." [The impression was errentons ; but it was erroneous (,n purpose, if they understand English. Most certainly if the 12th of September wrs unfavourable, the 26th of October was more so, when their lordships, i n th e i r wis dom, or rather in their ignorance, desired me to choose a day and opportunity.] The weather which you report to have experienced in the Baltic since the departure of the French troops and ships may be adduced in corroboration of the correctness of this view ; and my Lorda have already declared them selves satisfied with the reasons assigned by you for not attacking Sweaborg after the withdrawal of the French fleet and army. But, considering the conflict of authority contained in the different reports recently brought before them, their Lordships cannot, with equal confidence, express satisfaction with the decision taken at Ledsund, not to attack Sweaborg immediately after the fall of Bomar sund. [The opinions of the engineers were diametrically oppo site to each other ; the Admirals were unanimous ; yet their Lordships are dissatisfied with the decision taken by the Admirals and Generals not to land troops. If that is not censure, I do not know what is.] Some stress is laid on the want of Lancaster guns, and of rocket boats and mortars. But lam directed to ob serve, that the Lancaster guns are not yet brought into general use, nor are they yet perfected ; and it was not considered necessary to expedite the construction or the departure to the Baltic of gun-boats or mortar-vessels. when, at the end of May, their Lordships were assured by you that Sweaborg was " unattackable either by sea or land." [1 Daunt repeat, the opinion of,Sweaborg, at the end of May, was formed from plans•. but theinion in June was from both plans and inspeetion their Lordships keep in the back ground. } I am, Sir, your !mtt obedientrvant, CHAS. NAPIER. To the above communiciti'm front Iy L,)rds of the Admiralty," Sir Charles Napier I de the following triumphant reply - No. XXIII. [Copy. . Duke of Wellington ] , El, Nov. 6, 1854. Sir,—ln reference to your letter, 0. 796,.0f the 31st October, I beg to observe that it iquite true, when General Jones stated on the 27th Arust—when 10,000 Franch troops, in addition to the [arines, were still present with the fleet— that if 5,000 en were landed at Bak Holmen, and if heavy batter; were constructed there, a simultaneous bombard by land and sea would soon lay in ruins the doekys, the storehouses, and the principal works of the else!. Long before General Jones ms that report it was notoriously known that the.Fren( General had deter. mined to take hothe bis army* aoon as the works of Boraarstind (which surrenderedsn the 16th August) were destroyed, and he stated letter to me that a debarkation at that danzerous asnn of the year (Sept. 2) appeared to him and to Admit Parseval impossible, in which I agreed with him, busroposed that be should attack Abo, which, he declined,. cholera was raging in the French army. They Sailed (the 4th September, and I have no hesitation in sayingba4 the whole French army gone to Sweaborg insteaof t 4 France, and been hacked by the seamen and mines and the fleet, they would not have effected a I'. g, and if they had, ac companied by their • ; A A„ morPsus,atoree, &c.. "nedennit*Thiove . up . - . posed, they would not have ieelbarked one man or one gun, and roost probably shin vould have been lost, and the English and French Kdairals and the General, would have been looked uporby both nations as totally unfit for their command, and host probably impeached, and a triumph would have 6,n given to the Russian cause that would have convuled all Europe. Their Lordships seem to fotet that when I received their letter of the 4th of Septtuber, to call a council rof war, the whole French armyhad sailed, and the ques tion was, " Whether anythin more could be done with the fleet alone?" And the Aestirals agreed unanimously that we had not resources to do more, nor was it a fitting time. General Jones reported tilt the only mode of at tacking Sweaborg with any pospect of success was by a combined operation by land aid sea. What, then, could the Admirals mean but the Fyne thing ? Their Lordships say that I omit to notice the passage with which General Jones t)ncludea his report, where be says, " that the close of summer may probably be considered as the best for boilharling Sweaborg, as the ' winter, following close on tie destruction of the public establishments and buildißcs, would preclude the pos sibility of repairing or rebuiking them during a northern winter." The only observation I have to make to that is, that in the Gulf of Finlen( it was not the end of sum mer. but the beginning of minter, and time has shown that General Jones was wrong —that there was not time for an attack, and that the moment was not pro pitious. I niu,4 finish this ►art of my letter by remark. ing, that I think their lorisbipa, instead of throwing blame on me, should have riven both the French Ad miral and General and mytelf credit for not undertak ing an operation which mutt have led to inevitable dis aster, and which their, lordsiips frequently cautioned me against. I think it is hard the opinion of the admirals is to be so lightly treated. I now come to my last reconnaissance of Sweaborg, reported on the 25th of September, and as their lordships seem to be under an erroneous impression, in justice to myself I must state it at length, and comment upon it : "On the following day I proceeded to reconnoitre Swea borg in the Driver, piloted '33r Captain Sullivan, through an intricate passage of milieu locks; little more than a quarter of a mile wide, awl stopped abreast of Grobara Island, about two miles solth of Gustavus Sward." The sunken rocks are shown in the small Russian chart only ; from this position the fortress appears like batteries heaped one on the other, pointing towards the sea. On the southern face of Gustavus Sward and Vargon 77 guns cover the approach of a fleet from the south ward, besides 29 gans on three batteries at Bak Holmen. The three-decker lies in tie entrance of the passage be tween Bak Holmen and Gistavus Sward, and her broad side also covers the approach from the south. The best reconnaissance was made by Capt. Sullivan, being at anchor for seven hours, and having leisure to well examine the whole of the southern part of .the fortress. Their lordships •0411 observe that we could. not get a view of the we tern defences. T gcneral Dsly seen the, western part or the fortifica tions for a short time, is rather hasty in giving an °pi; nion that eight or ten sail of the line would lay it in ruins in two hours. _ _ There was not time to find a passage through the rocks to enable us to see the western face, at the north end of which a line-of-battle-ship was placed to cover !he entrance by Longhorn, and another at hand to sup port her. In my former report, I agreed with Captain Washing ton that the fleet could lay in 111010 Roads in the sum mer ; that is now more difficult, as batteries have been built on the south points of Landham Island, but they could be destroyed. If Sweaborg were to be attacked by a fleet alone, they would approach from the south in one line, raked by 160 guns—one or two of the leading ships would anchor, and occupy the batteries at Bak Holmen ; the next would pass on, fire a broadside into the three-decker, and anchor—clear of her broadside—against the south-west angle of Gustavus Sward. She would be followed by the next, pouring a broadside into the three-decker, and anchor a-head of her leader, and so on in succes sion, as close as the ships could lay. By this time the three-decker would probably be stink, an l the whole wester❑ face of Sweaborg engaged. A small squadron would he required to anchor south of Longhorn ; they would have to contend azainst it, and two or more line of-battle -ships and what guns were in Helsingfors. All the passages should be buoyed, an-I small steamers stationed in the narrowest and most dangerous channels. The large steamers should be under weigh in various directions to assist ships in difficulties, and a reserve squadron ready to take the place of disabled ships. Whether this attack would succeed or not it is impos- Bible to say, but we must calculate on ships being set on tire by red-bot shot and shells, of which tbey would have abundance, and, whether successful or not, it is evident the ships would be in no condition to meet the Russian fleet afterwards, and if the attack was made at this sea- Ran of the year, when you cannot depend upon the wea ther for two hours, I do not kuow how many would be lost. The above was my opinion of how Sweaborg could be attacked, if by ships alone ; but I ask their lordships to do me justice, and say whether one word in that de spatch can be construed into an intention of attacking Sweaborg with the fleet alone, and particularly at this season of the year? Then follows the paragraph of which their lordships make so much use, but which they put in the wrong place : " I beg their lordships will not suppose fora moment that Sweaborg cannot be attacked. I think it can, but it must be with caution and judgment." And then follows the cautious and judicious plan : " I have little to add to the report I made to Sir James Graham, a copy of which I sent to the Admi ralty, and which I again enclose. Since that report it has become easier; we have now Lancaster's guns ; 1 every ship in the fleet should be furnished with them. Thirteen-inch mortars should be placed on Laghara Island and Lange Rocks, and gun-boats carrying Lan caster guns should be added to the fleet. Those ships should be placed at different points, at a proper dis tance from the fortifications, well furnished with shot, shells, and rockets, and a bombardment commenced and continued until the wooden buildings, of which there are many, were on fire, and an evident impression made on the fortress. The ships should then close in and finish the work. - How long this would take I cannot say, but I am quite certain the fortress would be laid in ruins, and most probably an entrance opened to the ships. " I have said nothing about troops, but there is no doubt they could be most usefully employed." Their lordships do not appear to me to be at all aware of the position of Sweaborg or the dangers of the naviga tion. If they will consult Captain Sullivan, he will tell them that it would require days to prepare for such an attack ; the fleet could not go in off hand and attack it ; they must lie in Miolo Roads. They must buoy all the shoals, and they must defend them when buoyed ; all the vessels must take up their position beforehand amongst the rocks. All this requires time and fine wea ther, not to he had at this season of the year. If their lordships will read over this carefully, I think it perfectly impossible they can sustain the construction they put on nay despatch of the 25th Sept. But if they are determined to deliberate on the first part of any letter alone, and ignore the last, I have nothing left but to protest most respectfully against it. Their lordships have raised a new question. They say, that on the 30th May, No. 108, I sent the plans of Sweaborg and Ilelsingfors , wh ich appeared to me unattackable. Quite true. My judgment was then formed on plans, many of whic h c ame from the Admi ralty ; but their lordships have forgotten Admiral Chads' report, sent to Sir James Graham on the 14th June, Sweaborg. and my report on the 18th July, after seeing Their lordships allude al s o t o w h a t I said on the 24 th July, but that was in refere nce to t he intended attack on l3ornarsund, the force not being considered large enough for Sweaborg. In the concluding part of their lordships' letter they say—" But, considering the conflict of authority con tained in the different reports recently brought before them, their lordships cannot, with equal confidence, ex press satisfaction with the decision taken at Ledsund not to attack Sweaborg, immediately after the fall of Bo inassund." Their lordships forget that when the council of war was held the French army was gone, and I think * The cholera was raging amongst the troops, and bad weather had set in, I have given their lordships sufficient reason for its de parture. Relative to their observation about the Lancaster guns, I am aware that it was quite impossible they could be prepared this year; and all my observation's on the subject were intendedior the fo;lowiug year ; and with out them, and a great number of mortars and a vast supply of shot and shells, such a fortress -as Sweaborg could not be reduced. I hope and trust their lordships will be sati.fied, and that this correspondence, which bas cau s ed me much pain, may now be terininated,:--Yhaiie;'&c., (Signed) CHAS. NAPIER, Vice-Admiral. THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. THE METROPOLIS. Yesterday morning the glorious news from the Crimea was officially notified to the inhabitants of the. metropo lie by appropriate salvoes of artillery. At 7 o'clock the garrison of the Tower were paraded, and•the order of Lord Panmuro for a salute of 62 guns was read. At 8 o'clock the guns were mounted and fired ; and the royal, standard was hoisted on the White Tower. The malt tars of the vessels on the river responded to the signal by dressing their ships with flags from the truck' to the water's edge. The royal standard was also displayed at Sornerset•house, the Admiralty, the Cti4om-house, the royal parish churches of St. Martin-ita-the,-Fields, St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster, and St. Mary Abbott's, Kensington, and the bells of the metro politan and suburban churches sent forth inerry . peals. Mani . , of the inhabitants of .Fleet•street, and other parts of the metropolis, hung the tiniop jack and the tricolor from their win - dolts. In the Artiilery-ground, Finsbury, three rounds of mus ketry were fired by the City of London Militia, and a double Royal salute was fired by the Hon. Artillery Company. At the Horse Guards Parade in St. Jamas's-park a great number of persons assembled at an early hour, in the expectation that some unusual military demonstra tion would take place, and at mid-day probably not fewer than 10,000 people of all ranks and conditions were present. Precisely as the clock struck one a gun was fired, and it was closely followed by 40 others. As the sound of the last died away three deafening cheers arose from the multitude, amid the waving of hats and handker chiefs, and the bells of St.. Martin's church rang out a joyous peal as the people separated. In the City, throughout the morning, intense excite ment prevailed. Every public place was thronged by merchants and trader, who eagerly discussed the proba ble results of the great victory 'which had been obtained. This was particularly the case at the Royal Exchange, an announcement having appeared that the Lord Mayor would present himself in his official capacity, for the purp - ose of publicly proclaiming the news to his fellow citizens. Some hundreds of persofis took up their posi tion on the steps and watched the Mansion-house, from the portals of which they expected the civic procession to emerge. They were, however, doomed to-disappoint. went. The Lord Mayor had not returned from Sheffield, where he had been on a visit to the Master Cutler, and, moreover, such announcements were only customary when peace is declared. It is true that last year Alder man Sidney made an innovation upon the usual course when the despatch of the battle of, the Alma was com municated to the Mansion-house, but the precedent has not on this occasion been followed. Towards dusk the principal streets of the West End were filled by an unusual number of people, who seemed to have come with a vague idea of witnessing an illumi nation. There was, however, with one or two unimport ant exceptions, nothing of the sort to see, and consider able disappointment was expressed upon the subject, the people not seeming to reflect that at the present sea son few of the higher classes remain in town. The prin cipal point of attraction was the residence of the French ambassador, Albert-gate, which was known to have been splendidly illuminated on Monday night, but the fitting• had been removed early in the evening, and thus a sight was missed, by anxious thousands, which is described by spectators of the previous night as having been magnifi cent is the extreme. This disappointment is the more to be regretted, from the fact that the order for the ithtmio.tr;,.. —4' the ambassadorial residence was not given until half-past .n Monday night, auU at mmu ❑ight when the preparations were finished, there were few passers-by to admire the brilliant spectacle. The three sides of the house were brilliantly lighted, and around each of the windows in the front was fixed a large design, 30 feet square, with the French and Eng lish crowns, the flags of each ❑ation, and the letters N and E, V and A, surrounded by immense laurels, There were also the letters composing the word " Sebastopol," in red, white, and blue, the illumination consisting alto gether of 10,000 lamps. DUBLIN, TUESDAY. Ireland echoes back the shout of triumph for the fall of Sebastopol. Never did news cause such a thrill of joy within the memory of the present generation. The glo rious intelligence reached Dublin about a quarter past 5 p.m. yesterday, by the telegraphic wires, and was in stantaneously communicated to the newspaper offices by the manager of the Magnetic Telegraph Company, Mr. Langster, who displayed the utmost zeal and energy on the occasion. In a moment placards made their ap pearance, the news spread with the rapidity of lightning, and in an inconceivably short time it seemed to have reached every ear, and every heart too, and a general murmur might be heard, as if the city joined in one prolonged cheer. The excitement was extraordinary. Every one congratulated his or her zeighbonr, and every one's heart appeared to expand with the joyful news. The account which had reached Dublin by tele graph so early as nine o'clock in the morning, of the capture of the Malakhoff, might be said to have partly prepared the public mind frr the triumphant news which followed in a few hours after ; but the truth is, that the second no, s came with almost as much sur prise as if the former had not preceded it. The failure at the Medan had thrown a slight damp on people's feel inge, and it was feared that Russian pertinacity would ' have found encourageme❑t to hold out a little longer ; but now all cry, " Thank God it was not so." Last night people watched with expectant ears for the sound of cannon from the Phcenix-park, or the joyful bells from the church towers, but they were disap. pointed. No doubt, however, we shall have joyous peals and grand salutes of artillery this day to celebrate the pews, and it is probable that the city will also be illuminated; but as yet no arrangement for any public rejoicing could be made. The Freeman's Journal, in announcing the news, says —" Everything that military skill, dauntless bravery, gallant hearts, and stout arms could accomplish was per formed by the devoted garrison of the fallen citadel. But steady and sure as is the progress of European li berty, which the flags of England and France have united to defend, was the advance of aien still more gallant and resolutely brave—men who fought not at the bidding of an autocrat, to whom they were true by the hereditary habit of serfhood, but who fought in defence of prin ciples dear to them as the happy homes from which they went forth, but so many of which are now, alas, desolate for ever ; and, though brave men were ready every day and every hour to fill the places of those who fell behind the batteries of the doomed city, it was not in fate to withstand the united assaults of the armies of free na- Itions battling for the liberties of Europe.". LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The intelligence of the capture of Sebastopol, brought to hand at an hour yesterday when the majority of the merchants had left off business, was received in the Ex change News Room with loud cheers from those present. The news spread with a celerity perfectly astounding, and created the greatest excitement. It was also an nounced from the stage of the different theatres, the audi ence in all cases being most vociferous in their applause. The bells of the different churches have rang merry peals at intervals to-day, the royal standard has been hoisted in front of the Town Hall, and the union•jack floats over the various public buildings—in many cases in conjunc tion with the French tricolor. The line of docks and river present a gay appearance ; many vessels are show ing all their bunting. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY. The news of the Malakhoff having been taken reached Blanchester yesterday morning. Intelligence of the eva cuatioia of the south side of Sebastopol was not published by the earliest telegraph here until about six in the even ing, and although it spread rapidly, so many people bad by that time left the central or business part of the town for the suburbs, that it was not generally known until this morning. Of course the news gave rise to much congratulation. The Town-hall, the Exchange, and hundreds of private buildings hoisted flags, and some uf the church bells gave forth merry peals. This being the great raarket•day of the week, when the country manufee• turers, or manufacturers and spinners from the towfls w Ashton, Bolton, Blackburn, Bury, Burnley, Clithero, Chorley, Middleton, Oldham, Rochdale, and neighbour hoods come to this, the metropolitan centre of business, to sell their goods, the Exchange became a buzz of ex citement from an early hour, where the probable results of the great victory were di-cussed with merchants of all d••grees and many countries—English, Irish, Scotch, American, German s French, Italian, Greek, and Arme nian. In fact, the news scenic to have absorbed atten tion in all circles, and amongst all classes, and the most cordial greetings have been heard on all sides throughout the day. • ~. LEEDS, TUESDAY. The announcement of the fall of Sebastopol last even ing produced the liveliest sensation in Leeds. At the news-room of the Commercial Buildings it was received with three most hearty cheers, and general joy was ex pressed throughout the town. The bells of the_pttrish church rang a merry peal nearly all night. I, BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY EVENIKG. It was seven o'clock last evening when the sews of the capture of Sebastopol was generally known, here ; presently afterwards the streets were thronged, and there were the most excited manifestations of public delight. At Stourbridge and some other of the district towns the bells were ringing long after midnight ; but, curiously enough, not a bell rung out here. The most stirring manifestation of delight at Russia's defeat being at a public meeting at the Town hall, where Lord Hardwicke read the despatch, and the audience gladly sung the National Anthem. E PRICE 4D• STAMPED SD• BRISTOL, SErr. 11. A state of joyous excitement such as has never before been witnessed was produced here lad night by intelli gence of the fall of Sebastopol, received between 7 and 8 o'clock. The news, upon its first promulgation in the city, fled with the rapidity of wildfire from one end to the other—each man making it his business to inform his neighbour. The news agents and newspaper offices posted it on the outside of their establishments, which were consequently surrounded by dense crowds of citi zens anxious to read the satisfactory details. The streets were thronged, especially in the heart of the city, and persona of all ages and classes were to be seen congratu lating each other and shaking hands on the event, and nothing was to be heard but "God save the Queen," cheers for Simpson and Peliesier, the English army and our brave allies, while Marmora and the Sardinians, Omer Pacha and "Bono Turco," came in for a share of laudation. The host of the Angel Inn, High-street, read all the despatches as they came to hand to an eager and excited crowd, from his windows, illuminated the front of his house with variegated lamps, and a concourse of excited citizens at the top of Broad-street proposed to get up an "address of condolence" on the occasion to— strange combination—Cobden, Bright, and David Ur qohart. The enthusiasm soon diffused itself amongst the ringers, and the bells of many of the churches, not withstanding the lateness of the hour, rang out merry Deals. At six o'clock this morning the bells of the churches again commenced pealing merrily. The arri val of telegraphic despatches in the morning, and the official news contained in a third edition of The Sun, in creased the excitement, and flags were hoisted on the Guildhall, Exchange, Council•house, and the different churches, and the shipping was gaily dressed out, while at different periods of the day there were discharges of artillery. LEICESTER, TIIISDAT A.TTERNOON. The startling intelligence of the successful assault upon Sebastopol reached this town soon after 5 p.m. yesterday. The news was telegraphed to some of the leading commercial houseq, and to the general news rooms. At the theatre M. Gaillard, a French resident, read one of the despatches from The Sum newspaper, which was received by the house with tremendous cheers. So elated was the worthy Frenchman that he commenced singing " Partant pour la Syrie," which was taken up by the orchestra, and followed by the National Anthem. About ten o'clock the bells began to ring merrily, and about 11 our worthy townsmen were startled with me repeated discharge 01 artillery from the neighbouring Spinney-hills, an enthusiastic and pa triotic townsman having with three small pieces of can non taken this means of testifying his loyalty and joy. This morning the bells of St. Margaret's, St. Martin's, and St. Mary's churches were again ringing. On every hand were seen the tokens of jubilation. There was but one theme in the mouth of every person, whatever his politics or position. The flags of England and France were displayed from the houses or shops of the principal tradesmen, and the statue of the Duke of Rutland, in the Market Place, was adorned with the tricolor and the Union Jack. Firearms have been continually discharged throughout the town. Lieut.-Colonel King, of the Leicestershire Militia, read the despatches in the Mar ket Place, after which the militia gave hearty cheers, and the band played the national airs. At 12 o'clock, according to ancient custom, which for 140 years has fallen into disuse, the news was proclaimed from the top of the castle, now the militia armoury, a re stored remnant of the ancient Leicester castle, and the despatches were read by W. Napier Reeve, Esq., deputy-clerk of the peace for the county, in the absence of the constable of the castle. The flags of England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia were hoisted and saluted with great cheering by the assembled multitude, the militia band playing " Partant pour is Syrie," " God save the Queen," and other airs. It was still thought, however, that some demonstration was wanting in which all classes could testify their joy at this last and greatest triumph of the allied armies. Ac. cordingly, a committee was formed, consisting of some of the principal inhabitants of the town, and a subscrip tion entered into, which was headed by the Mayor with 101. (his lordship offering 251. if it were needed). All the bands of music in the town were engaged, and at half past 5 this afternoon a triumphal procession is to parade the principal thoroughfares, and the shops will generally be closed. Throughout the day our ancient town has had all the appearance of a holiday, and the evening will close with illuminations and general rejoicings. NOTTINGHAM, TUESDAY. The intelligence of the fall of Sebastopol arrived in this town by electric telegraph on Monday night, about half past sir. The news spread with almost miraculous rapidity, and the greatest excitement was manifested amongst all classes in the town. Reports of the success of the Allies were posted up at the General Exchange and at a number of other places, and at the principal thoroughfares groups of persons were assembled discuss ing the gratifying intelligence. The bells rang a merry peal, and for several hours the enthusiasm was kept up. The news quickly spread into the neighbouring villages, the inhabitants of which testified their joy in the most marked manner. On Tuesday when the morning papers arrived and confirmed the intelligence, the joy of the inhabitants was unbounded, and there is a general feel ing in the town that the war should not be terminated until Russia is thoroughly humbled. The bells of St. Peter and St. Mary rang merry peals on Tuesday, and the lace and hosiery manufacturers are congratulat ing themselves upon the prospects of better trade, which this great victory is sure to bring. OXFORD, TUESDAY. The news of the glorious victory obtained at Sebald.). pol by the allies reached this city on Monday evening, about six o'clock, by a telegraphic despatoh to Mr. Blott, the station master of the North-Western Railway, who immediately conveyed the pleasing intelligence to the Vice-Chancellor and Mayor. Almost simultaneous with this came a message by the electric wire, received by the Rev. Geo. Hammond, one of the senior fellows of Mer ton College, from his brother at the War-office. The rev gentlemen lost no time in acquainting Mr. Slatter, of the High-street, who immediately announced it to the peb lic by posting it in the window, and in a short time the joyful news spread like wildfire, and we o„ Tontine to say nowhere was the intelligence received with greater interest than at Oxford. Our worthy and patr iotic ehief magistrate (C. J. Sadler, Esq.) Vag most indefatigable also in spreading the news of the suc cess of th e a lli es, and occasioning general rejoicing , which was expressed by the rigging of merry peals on St. Martin's, Ma g d a l en College, and o th er c hurch and college belle ; an d a per ambulation o f the city by a first-rate band, playing mar tial airs, and escorted by a numerous company, compris ing a large number of the most respectable inhabitants. The sanction of the mayor was also obtained for a bon fire and pyrotechnic display later in the evening, and al though but few members of the university were there (being long vacation), it was highly gratifying to find with what glee and pleasure those that were present fra ternised with " the town." A senior fellow of nearly the oldest college, who was determined to mix and re. tete.4 ettill the athous In esiebration of .the irsaelvenl4 dealt out fireworks with a must liberal hand. Soon after midsight there war Tin less than six bonfires Fluminat ing the city in different parts, the chief attraction bein that on Carfax, which was well supplied with tar-tar casks, crates, &c., by the tradesmen residing m a the spot, and which has never been so brilliantly lit up ,ince the bill of Pains and Penalties against Queen Caroline was thro .vn out of the House of Lords. It kb expected that bonfires and fireworks wilt be plentiful again tonight in the streets of Oxford. DERBY. The news of the fall of Sebastopol was received with the greatest enthusiasm at Derby. The first intimation of our victories in the Crimea was received en Monday morning, when the daily papers announced the capture of the Malakhoff. This was followed by the Mayor re ceiving a telegraphic communication about six o'clock in the evening that Sebastopol had fallen. The news spread like wildfire, sod the greatest excitement prevailed, the bells of several of -the churches sending forth merry peals. Copies of the despatch were printed and circulated and groups of people congregated in the Corn-market, Rotten-row, Irongate, and other public thoroughfares, to read, or have it read to them. On the facts being stated cheer after cheer rent the air in honour of the glorious victory. After dark, and till nearly midnight, &reworks were let off, the streets being crowded with people. On the arrival of the last edition of The Sun a rush was made to obtain a copy, and Messrs. Smith and Co.'s stock was soon exhausted. At the Royal Hotel, the King's Head Hotel, the Shot Tower, Rail way Station, and the various public buildings, the flags of England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia waved proudly in the breeze. Every one, indeed, seemed in toxicated with joy at the glorious triumph which has been gained. It has been suggested to have dinners to give a treat to the pensioners, particularly those resident is Derby who have taken part in the present campaign, but nothing has as yet been settled. EXETER, TURSDAY. The news of the capture of Sebastopol arrived in this city last evening, at about half-past six o'clock. It was immediately conveyed to the Mayor (Mr. John Daw) who lost no time in making it as public, as possible. Placards were posted about in varionerparterof the city, and his worship himself read the telegraphic despatch to a crowd of eager citizens, who had assembled in front of the Guildhall. Subsequently a large number of persons assembled in the Guildhall, where the Mayor, accom panied by some of the magistrates and officials of the city, addressed them, and congratulate) them on the glorious achievement which had just been announced. His worship observed that the war in the Crimea was a contest of freedom against tyranny, of civilisation against barbarism, which observation was ♦ociferously sheered. The Guildhall wa■ illuminated, the Cathedral bells rang, the band of the First Dragoon Guards, at the Mayor's request, paraded the streets, and thousands of citizens followed in procession, cheering enthusiastically. Notwithstanding that the news did not arrive until late in the evening, some houses were illuminated, and flags were displayed in various parts of the city. To-day (Tuesday) the city is greatly excited, and a general illumination is not unlikely to take place in the evening. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. This morning, as his Imperial Highness Prince Na poleon was leaving Portsmouth, the ships in port fired a salute of honour for the victory of the allies at Sebasto pol. Several of the tradesmen's shops in High-street, &a., illuminate to-night in honour of the great event. The Leas has created the greatest excitement and grati fication among all classes in this borough. SHEERNESS, SEPT, 11. A royal salute was fired here this morning in honour of the glorious success of the allies. The flag•ebip Wa- terloo led the fire. SOUTHAMPTON, San. 11. Last night this town was electrified with the news of the taking of the south side of Sebastopol. The intelli gence was communicated by the Electric Telegraph Company, and instantly stuck up at the doors of the newspaper dices. Crowds were reading it the whole of the evening. The third edition of Tlto Sun was eagerly sought after, and every one that came into the town was bought up instantly. The clubs were full, and the glo rious news diffused unbounded joy amongst all classes. The Brazil mail packet left here yesterday with the news ' of the capture of the Malakhoff, and will convey it to Lisbon, the Western Islands, to South America, and down as far as the Falkland Isles. The mail packet despatch, which left here later last night than the Avon, conveyed the news of the fall of Sebastopol to the Chan nel Tshincle. To-morrow the Washington will leave with the news and convey it to the United States and to the whole of British North America, where it will be re ceived with the greatest delight. WOOLWICH.
