LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY• BATTLE °F ALMA LIST OF KILLE D AND WOUNDED. SUN OFFICE, MONDAY, 9th October. In performance of our promise, we published yesterday an Extraordinary Edition of The Sun, containing the Official Despatches, with lists of the killed and wounded, from the London Gazette Extraordinary. The Gazette was not published until a quarter to one o'clock, and before half-past one we had The Sun delivered to the wondering and expectant public. This prompt display of activity reminds us of a similar) occasionr—the Battle of Navarino—when we an ticipated the ordinary course of business by forty eight hours ! The Gazette was then published on a Saturday evening, and by Sunday morning and noon, the news was disseminated by The Sun al] over the United Kingdom. There were no rail ways in those days. On the present occasion we have distributed The Sun all over the country. The Mayor oil Gravesend posted up a copy on the Town Hall before four o'clock yesterday afternoon to an admiring public. WAR DEPARTMENT, October 8, 1854, 8 o'clock a.m. Major the Lord Burghersh arrived this morning with a despatch from General the Lord Raglan, G.C.8., to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, of which the following is a copy Head-quarters, Katcha River, SEPT. 23, 1854. My Lord Duke,—l have the honour to informl your Grace that the Allied Troops attacked thel position occupied by the Russian Army, behind' the Alma, on the 20th instant ; and I have great satisfaction in adding, that they suc ceeded, in less than three hours, in driv ing the enemy from every part of the ground which they had held in the morning and in establishing themselves upon it. The English and French Armies moved out their first encampment in the Crimea on the 19th, L.!, and bivouacked for the night on the left bank of: the Bulganac, the former having previously sup-u ported the advance of a part of the Earl of Cardi gan's brigade of Light Cavalry, which had the effect of inducing the enemy to move up a large body of Dragoons and Cosaques, with artillery. On this, the first occasion of the English encoun tering the Russian force, it was impossible for any troops to exhibit more steadiness than did this portion of her Majesty's cavalry. It fell back upon its supports with the most perfect regularity under the fire of the Artillery, which was quickly silenced by that of the bat teries I caused to be brought into action. t. Our loss amounted to only four men wounded. t The day's march had been most wearisome anoli under a burning sun, the absence of water, until.;!: we reached the insignificant but welcome stream of the Bulganac, made it to be severely felt. Both Armies moved towards the Alma the fol.- lowing morning, and it was arranged that Marshal. St. Arnaud should assail the enemy's left by crossing the river at its junction with the sea, and immediately above it, and that the remainder of the French divisions . should move up the heights in their front, whilst the English Army should attack the right and centre of the enemy's position. j In order that the gallantry exhibited by Her! Majesty's troops, and the difficulties they had to-, meet nay be fairly estimated, I deem it right, even. at the risk of being considered tedious, to endea-' your to make your Grace acquainted with th sl, position the Russians had taken up. It crossed the great road about 21 miles from the sea, and is very strong by nature. The bold and almost precipitous range of heights„ of from 350 to 400 feet, that from the sea closely border the left bank of the river here ceases and, formed their left, and turning thence round a. great amphitheatre or wide valley, terminates at a salient pinnacle where their right rested, and -ence the descent to the plain was more gradual., The front was two miles in extent. Across the mouth of this great opening is lower ridge at different heights, varying from 6() to 150 feet, parallel to the river, and at distances from it of from 600 to 800 yards. The river itself is generally fordable for troops., , but its banks are extremely rugged, and in moat. parts steep; the willows along it had been cut down , 1 in order to prevent them from affording cover to the attacking party, and in fact everything ha( been done to deprive an assailant of any species o f shelter. In front of the position on the right bank, a t about 200 yards froml the Alma, is the village cif Bouliouk, and near it a timber bridge, which had. been partly destroyed by the enemy. The high pinnacle and ridge before alluded to , was the key of the position, and consequently, there the greatest preparations had been made for: defence. Half way down the height and across its front waf a trench of the extent of some hundred yards, to afford cover against an advance up the even steep slope of the hill. On the right, and a little retired, was a powerful covered battery, armed with h eav y guns, which flanked the whole of the right.' of the position. A r till e ry, at the same time, was posted at the points that best commanded the passage of the, river and its approaches generally. On the slopes of these hills (forming a sort of table land) were placed dense masses of the enemy': infantry, whilst on the heights above was his grea t' reserve, the whole amounting, it is supposed, t o between 45,000 and 50,000 men. The combined armies advanced on the sato - agnement, her Majesty's troops in contiguous double columns, with the front of two divisions covered by light infantry and a troop of horse ar tillery, the 2d Division, under Lieutenant -General Sir De Lacy Evans, forming the right, and touch ing the left of the 3d Division of the French Army, under his Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon, and the. Light Division, under Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown, the left • the first being sup • ported by the 3d Division, tinder Lieutenant- General Sir Richard England, and the last by the Ist Division, commanded by Lieutenant-General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The 4th Division, under Lieutenant -General Sir George Cathcart, and the cavalry under Ma jor-General the Earl of Lucan, were held in re serve to protect the left flank and rear against large bodies of the enemy's cavalry, which had been seen in those directions. On approaching to near the fire of the guns, which soon became extremely formidable, the two leading divisions deployed into line, and advanced to attack the front, and the supporting divisions followed the movement. Hardly had this taken' place, when the village of Bouliouk, immediately opposite the centre, was fired by the enemy at all points, creating a continueus blaze for three hun-, dred yards, obscuring their position and rendering! a passage through it impracticable. Two regi ments of Brigadier-General Adams' brigade, part of Sir De Lacy Evans' division, had, in conse quence, to pass the river at a deep and difficult ord to the right under a sharp fire, whilst his first brigade, under Major-General Pennefather, and THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVEN IN G, OCTOBER 9, 1854. the remaining regiment of Brigadier-General7maintained the same determination to conquer, as Adams crossed to the left of the conflagration, oplthey had exhibited before they went into action.! ! ,posed by the enemy's artillery from the heiolats:4 should be wanting in m y dut y , m y Lord Duke,l above,' and pressed on towards the left of their 1 ; if I did not express to your Grace, in the most; position with the utmost gallantry and steadiness. earnest manner, my deep feeling of gratit ude to y In the meanwhile, the Light Division:under Sir':, the officers and men of the Royal Navy for the!

The 95th Regiment, immediately on the right f if the Royal Fusiliers in the advance, suffereii equally with that corps an immense loss. The aid of the Royal Artillery in all these ope rations was most effectual. The exertions of the Field Officers and the Captains of troops and bat teries to get the guns into action were unceasing, and the precision of their fire materially contri buted to the great results of the day. Lieutenant-General Sir Richard England brought his division to the immediate support of the troops in advance, and Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sii George Cathcart was actively engaged in watching the left flank. The nature of the ground did not admit of the em ployment of the cavalry under the Earl of Lucan; bui they succeeded in taking some prisoners at the close of the battle. In the detail of these operations, which I have gone into as far as the space of a dispatch would allow, your Grace will perceive that the servic, in which the General and other Officers of the Army were engaged, were of no ordinary cha racter ; and I have great pleasure in submitting them for your Grace's most favourable considera '..tion.

Captain H. W. Cast, Colstream Guards, Aide le-Camp to Major-General Bentinck, killed The mode in which Lieutenant-General Is George Brown conducted his division under the most trying circumstances, demands the expressiot , of my warmest approbation. The fire to which his division was subjected, and the difficulties he had to contend-against, afford no small proof that his best energies were applied to the successful discharge of his duty. I must speak in corresponding terms of Lieu -Itenant-General Sir De Lacy Evans, who likewise conducted his division to my perfect satisfaction, and exhibited equal coolness and judgment in car trying out a most difficult operation. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge brought his division into action in support of the Light Division with great ability, and had for the first time an opportunity of showing the enemy his devotion to Her Majesty, and to the profes sion of which he is so distinguished a member. My best thanks are due to Lieutenant-General Sir R. England, Lieutenant-General the Honoura ble Sir George Cathcart, and Lieutenant-General the Earl of Lucan, for their cordial assistance wherever it could be afforded, and I feel it my duty especially to recommend to your Grace's no tice the distinguished conduct of Major-General Bentinck, Major-General Sir Colonel Campbell, Major-General Pennefather, Major-General Cod rington, Brigadier-General Adams, and Brigadier- General Buller. In the affair of the previous day, Major-General the Earl of Cardigan exhibited the utmost spirit and coolness, and kept his brigade under perfect command. The manner in which Brigadier-General Strang ways directed the Artillery, and exerted himself to bring it forward, met my entire satisfaction. Lieutenant-General Sir John Burgoyne was constantly by my side ; and rendered me, by his counsel and advice, the most valuable assistance ; and the Commanding Royal Engineer, Brigadier- General Tylden, was always at hand to carry out ,any service I might direct dim to undertake. I deeply regret to say [that he has since fallen a victim to cholera, as has Major Wellesley, who was present in the affair of the previous day, notwithstanding that he was then suffering from serious illness. He had, during the illness of Major- General Lord de Ros, acted for him in the most efficient manner. I cannot speak too highly of Brigadier-General Eatcourt, Adjutant-General, or of Brigadier-General Airey, who, in the short time he has conducted the duties of the Quarter master-General, has displayed the greatest ability, as well as aptitude for the office. , I am much indebted to my Militrry Secretary, Lieutenant-Colonel Steele, Major Lord Burghersh, and the officers of my personal Staff, for the zeal, intelligence, and gallantry, they all, without ex ception, displayed. Lieutenant Derriman, R.N., the Commander of the Caradoc, accompanied me during the whole of the operation, and rendered me an essential aer• vice, by a close observation of the enemy's move ments, which his practiced eye enabled him accu• rately to watch. I lament to say that Lieutenant-Colonel Lagon die, who was attached to my head quarters, by the Emperor of the French, fell into the enemy's hands on the 19th, on his return from Prince Na poleon's division, where he had obligingly gone at my request, with a communication to his Imperial, Highness. This misfortune is deeply regretted, both by my-, self and the officers of my personal Staff. The other officer placed with me under similar circumstances, Major Vico, afforded me all the assistance in his power, sparing no exertion. to be sf use. I cannot omit to make known to your Grace the heerfulness with which the regimental officers o he Army have submitted to most unusual priva ions. GRENADIEP, GUARDS. Lieutenant-Colonel Hon. H.

The Lords Commissiouers of the Admiralty have; (this day received despatches from Vice•Admirall IDundas, containing intelligence as to the proceed-1 nags of her Majesty's Fleet in the Black Sea, of which the following are copies : A.ITACK OF f THE RUSSIAN ENTRENCHMENTS ONI THE ALMA BY THE ALLIED ASMIES. No. 485. Britannia off the Alma, September 21, 1854. Sir,—ln my letter of the 18th instant (No. 480), I reported to you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that the Allied Armies were ready to move, and I now beg you will acquaint their Lordships that, on the morning of the 19th, they marched to a position about two , miles north of the Alma River, where they halted; for the night ; the French and Turks on the right, close to the sea, and the English to the left, about four miles inland. The Russians, with some 5,000 or 6,000 cavalryl and artillery, and 15,000 infantry, made a demon stration north of the river, but returned on the approach of the armies, and recrossed the river at sunset. About noon, on the 20th, the Allies advanced in the same order to force the Russian position and entrenchments south of the Alma. This was effected by 4 o'clock, the Russians retreating appa rently to the eastward of the main road to Sebasto pol. The Russian left fell back before the French very rapidly, and their batteries on the right were carried by the bayonet of the English. Our loss has necessarily been severe, and is estimated at about 1,200 killed and wounded ; that of the French about 900. The Russian loss has also been great, two gene- j ral officers and three guns were captured by our men, but we have few prisoners beyond the wouuded, in consequence it is believed of our de- ; aciency of cavalry. Lieutenant Derriman, of the Caradoe, accompa nied the staff of General Lord Raglan, during the lotion, and I also sent Lieutenant Wynn of this ship to convey any message to me from his lord ship. All the medical officers of the fleet (excepting one in each ship), 600 seamen and marines, and all the boats have been assisting the wounded, and conveying them to the transports, that will sail for the Bosphorus as soon as possible. I believe it is the intention of the Allied Forces to move to-morrow, and the Sampson which I de tached last night with the Terrible off Sebastopol, has signalised that the Russians were retreating on Sebastopol, and that they have burnt the villages on the Katscha. I have, Sic., (Signed) J. W. D. DUNDAS, Vice-Admiral. The Secretary of the Admiralty. MOVEMENTS OF THE FLEETS ARD ARMIES. No. 487. Britannia, off the Katscha, Sept. 23, 1854. Sir,--I beg you will inform the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, that since my letter to you of the 21st inst. (No. 485), the men and boats of the fleet have been employed in bringing from the field (about four miles distant), and carrying on board the transports, the English and Russian officers and men wounded in the battle of the Alma, as well as the sick of the army. 2. All the medical officers of the different ships have been zealously and usefully occupied in at tending them, and I have been obliged to send several assistant-surgeons in the vessels with the wounded to Constantinople. 3. The Vulcan and Andes, with 800 wounded, and sick, sailed for Constantinople yesterday, and' to-day the Orinoco and Colombo, with 900, in eluding some sixty or seventy Russians, will follow. Another vessel (by the request of Lord Raglan), with about 500 wounded Russians, will also pro ceed, under charge of the Fury, to land them at Odessa. 4. On the night of the 21st instant the Russians 'made a very great alteration in the position of their fleet in Sebastopol. I enclose a report made by Captain Jones, of the Sampson ; and I propose attacking the outer line the first favourable oppor tunity. 5. Captain Jones also reports that great exer tion appear to be making to strengthen the land defences, as well as those by sea. New batteries on both Ades of the port have been erected, defending the entrances and line of coast. One, to the north, has heavy guns, of a range of 4,000 yards, two shots having passed over the Sampson, when nearly at that distance. 6. Provisions for the army have been landed ; and the Forces move on to-day towards Sebasto pol, accompanied by the fleets, which have an chored off the Katscha. I ,have, &c. (Signed) J. W. D.

THE BATTLE OF ALMA. !OFFICIAL DESPATCHES FROM MARSHAL' ST. ARNAUD. PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING. The Moniteur of this morning publishes the fol [owing report from Marshal de St. Arnaud on the IBattle of Alma : " Field of Battle of Alma, Sept. 21. "Sire—The cannon of your Majesty has spoken :we have gained a complete victory. It is a glo- rious day, Sire, to add to the military annals of France, and your Majesty will have one 'name more to add to the victories which adorn the flags, i of the French army. " The Russians had yesterday assembled all tbeii Forces, and collected all their means, in order to oppose the passage of the Alma. Prince Menschi koff commanded in person. All the heights were crowned with redoubts and formidable batteries. The Russian army reckoned 40,000 bayonets, from all points of the Crimea ; in the morning there arrived from Theodosia 6,000 cavalry and 180 pieces of heavy and field artillery. From the heights which they occupied the Russians could count our men man by man from the 19th to the moment when we arrived on the Bulganac. On the 20th, from six o'clock in the morning, I carried into operation with the division of General Bosquet, 'reinforced by eight Turkish battalions, a movemen which turned the left of the Russians and some o their batteries. General Bosquet manoeuvred with as much intelligence as bravery. This movement decided the success.of the day. I had arranged that the English should extend their left, in order at the same time to threaten the right of the Rus sians, whilst I should occupy them in the centre but their troops did not arrive in line until half- past ten. They bravely made up for this delay. A.t half-past twelve the line of the allied army, occupying an extent of more than a league, arrived on the Alma, and was received by a terrible fire from the tirailleurs. "Ix this movement the head of the column of General Bosquet appeared on the heights, and 1 gave the signal for a general attack. The Alma was crossed at double-quick time. Prince Napoleon, lat the head of his division, took possession of the large village of Alma, under the fire of the Russian 'batteries. The Prince showed himself worthy o the great name he bears.. We then arrived at the foot of the heights, under the fire of the Russian batteries. There, Sire, commenced a real battle along all the line—a battle with its episodes of brilliant feats of valour. Your Majesty 'may be proud of your soldiers; they have not degenerated; 'they aro the soldiers of Austerlitz and Jena. At ,half --past four the French army was everywhere (victorious. All the positions had been carried at the point of the bayonet, to the cry of ' Vive l'Em pereur" which resounded throughout the day. Never was such enthusiasm seen ; even the wounded rose from the ground to join in it. On our left the English met with large masses of the enemy and with great difficulties, but every thing was surmounted. The English attacked the Russian positions in admirable order under the fire of their cannon, carried them, and drove off the Russians. The bravery of Lord Raglan rivals that of antiquity. In the midst of cannot and musket shot he displayed a calmness which never left him. The French lines formed on the heights and the artillery opened its fire. Then it was no longer a retreat, but a rout ; the Russians threw away their muskets and knapsacks in order to run the faster. If, Sire, I had had cavalry I should have obtained immense results, and Menschikoff would no longer have had an army ; but it was late, our troops were ( harassed, and the ammunition of the artillery was exhausted. At six o'clock in the evening we en camped on the very bivouac of the Russians. My ( tent is on the very spot where that of Prince Men schikoff stood in the morning, and who thought himself so sure of beating us that he left his car riage there. I have taken possession of it, with his pocket book and correspondence, and shall' take advantage of the valuable information it con tains. The Russian army will probably be able to rally two leagues from this, and I shall find it to-morrow on the Katcha, but beaten and demora lised, while the allied army is full of ardour and enthusiasm. I have been compelled to remain here in order to send our wounded and those of the Russians to Constantinople, and to procure ammunition and provisions from the fleet. The English have had 1,50 G men put hors de combat.' The Duke of Cambridge is well. His division and that of Sir Q. Brown were superb. I have to regret about 1,200 men hors de combat, 3 officers killed, 54 wounded, 253 sub-officers and soldiers killed, and il 1,033 wounded. Gen.

This is the explanation of the move ment which has astonished France, and which has completely put out the Russian army in their movements. FURTHER DESPATCHES. PAnis, Oct. 7.—His Excellency the Minister of INVar has received from the marshal commanding- in-chief the army of the East, the following report land letter : Head-quarters, at the Bivouac on the Alma, Sept. 21, 1854. Monsieur le Mardch al, —My tel egraphic despatch, dated yesterday, has made you acquainted summarily with the results of the battle of the Alma. The subjoined sketch, written in haste, will give you a better idea of it ; you will judge by this of the difficulties we hare had to over come in order to carry these formidable positions. The river Alma presents a winding course, with high banks; the fords are very difficult and few in number. Russians had posted in the lowest part of the valley, _ _ covered with trees, gardens, and houses, and in the village of Bourlouk, a body of sharpshooters, well pro tected, armed with rifled carbines, and who received ,ur heads of columns with a very hot and galling fire. The flank movement of General Bosquet, command ing the 2d division, which this general officer executed 6a the right with much intelligence and vigour, had for tunately removed the difficulties in the way of the march of the two other divisions of the English army. Never rAielese, the position of this general officer, who for a long time found himself on the heights with a single bri gade, might have been compromised in its isolation, and General Canrobert, to support him, had to make a vigo rous push in the direction shown by one of the index lines of the sketch. I sent to his support a brigade of -.he 4th Division that was in reserve, while the other brigade of this same division, following General Bosquet, went to his assistance. The 3d division marched right on the centre of the positions, having the English army at its left. It had been agreed with Lord Raglan that his troops should operate on their left a flank moyement analogous to the one General Bosquet was making on the right. But in cessantly menaced by the cavalry, and outflanked by . the enemy's troops posted on the heights, the left of the English army was obliged to renounce this part of the 'programme. The general movement took place at the moment _.. when general Bosquet, protected by the fleet, ap peared on the heights. The gardens, from out of which a very hot fire was poured by Russian sharpshooters, were soon taken possession of by our troops. Our ar tillery approached in its turn the gardens, and began to cannonade warmly the Russian battalions, who were formed in columns on the slopes, in order to support their retreating sharpshooters. Ours, closing on them with incredible boldness, followed them on the slopes, and I then directed ray first line through the gardens. Each man passed where he could, and our columns climbed the heights under a fire of musketry and cannon that, nevertheless, did not retard their progress. The crests were gained, and I threw forward my second line to the support of the first, which rushed on to the cry of " Vive l'Empereur . ! " The artillery of reserve had, in its turn, been carried onwards with a rapidity that was almost incomprehen sible when the obstacles of the river and the steepness of the slopes are taken into consideration. The enemy's bat talions, driven back on the plateau, exchanged with our lines a cannonade and a fire of musketry that ended by their final retreat in very bad order, which the presence ofsome thousand horse would easily have enabled me to convert into a total rout. Night arrived, and I had to think of establishing our bivouac within reach of the water. I encamped on the field of battle itself- while the enemy was disappearing in the horizon, leaving the ground strewed with his dead and wounded, a great number if whom he bad, however, carried. off. While these events were passing on the right and at the centre, the lines of the English army crossed the river in front of the village of Bourlouk, and advanced against the positions the Russians had fortified, and where they had concentrated considerable masses, for they had not supposed that the steep slopes comprised • between this point and the sea, and protected by a na tural moat, could be taken by main force by our troops. The English army encountered therefore a very solidly organised resistance. The combat that ensued was one of the hottest, and reflects the highest honour on our bravo • allies. _ _ In fine, M. le Marechal, the battle of Alma, in which more than 120,000 men, with 180 pieces of cannon, have been engaged, is a brilliant victory, and the Russian army could not have raised its head again, if, as I stated before, I had had cavalry to cut up the broken and disjointed masses of infantry as they were retiring before us. This battle consecrates in a signal manner the superiority of our arms at the beginning of this war. It has discon certed in the highest degree the self-confidence of the Russian army, and especially their reliance on the posi tions they bad long prepared beforehand, and where they .., awaited us. This army was composed of the 16th and • 17th divisions of the Russian infantry, of one brigade of the 13th, of one brigade of the 14th division of reserve, ;of the foot chasseurs of the 6th corps, armed with rifles carrying oblong bullets; of 4 artillery brigades, 2 of which • were horse, and of one battery taken from the siege park of reserve, comprising 12 pieces of heavy ordnance. Their cavalry was about 5,000 strong, and the whole force • may be estimated at about 50,000 men, commanded by Prince Menschikoff in person. It is difficult for us to compute the losses of the Russian army, but they must be considerable, if we may judge by the dead and wounded. they could not remove, and who remain in our hands. In the ravines of the Alma, on the plateaux in front, on the ground forming the position carried by the English 'army, the soil is covered with more than ten thousand ' muskets, knapsacks, and different articles of equipment. We have devoted the whole of this lay to bury their dead where found, and to tend their wounded, whom I "cause to be conveyed along with our own to the vessels of the fleet in order to be taken to Constantinople. All '.the Russian officers, including generals, are clothed with i the coarse overcoat of the soldiers, and it is, cense r quently, difficult to distinguish them either among the dead or the small number of prisoners we have been able to make: However, it remains certain that the English army have captured two general officers. The battle of Alma, in which the allied armies have reciprocally given each other pledges they cannot .I forget, will strengthen the bonds that unite them. The Ottoman division, that marched to the support of the Bosquet division in its following flank moy e t ro h e e nt ' whileli did the wonders Kin speed to get into line, along the border of the sea that I had t ra ced out for 1 them. It could not take an act i ve part i n t h e com bat that was Wing fou g ht b efore it ; route but these troops showed an a r d our equal at least t o our town, and I am happy at having to tell you all that I expect from the aid of these excellent auxiliaries. j d Every one has b r illi antly done his duty , an d it w ill b e I diffieult fur me to select among the several corps the 1 officers and soldiers that have shown most vigour in the f action, and wh o oug h t to b e th e o bject of special men time I have already stated in this report the import ance of the part played by the Bosquet division in its flank movement during which his first brigade estab e'liehed alone upon the heights, remained for a long time exposed to the fire of five gun batteries. The first divi- V: eion sealed the heights up its steepest slopes with an !ardour of w hi c h its chief , General Canrobert, set the ',.. 4 example. This honourable general officer was struck on , '.tithe breast by the splinter of a shell, but he was able to `'l keep on 11,,rsela ,, ck to the end of the action, and hi s wound will have no dan g erous consequences.
