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.

The Gazette was then published on a Saturday evening, and by Sunday morning and noon, the news was disseminated by The Sun all over the United Kingdom. There were no rail- ways in those days.

The Russian army reckoned 40,000 bayonets, from all points of the Crimea ; in the morning there arrived from Theodosia 6,000 cavalry and 18( pieces of heavy and field artillery. From CI( heights which they occupied the Russians coulu 'count our men man by man from the 19th to the moment when we arrived on the Bulganac. 01 the 20th, from six o'clock in the morning, I curie( into operation with the division of General Bosquet, reinforced by eight Turkish battalions, a movement which turned the left of the Russians and some o, their batteries. General Bosquet manceuvred with as much intelligence as bravery. This movement decided the success of the day. I had arrangec that the English should extend their left, in ordex at the same time to threaten the right of the Rue 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. it 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. The Russians, with some 5,000 or 6,000 cavalry, and artillery, and 15,000 infantry, made a demon-I stration north of the ri ver , b u t re t urne d on th e ' 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 wore carried by the bayonet of the English. Our loss has necessarily been severe, and is estimated at about 1,200 killed and wounded ; 1 that of the French about 900. The Russian loss has also been great, two gene- I ral officers and three guns were captured by our men, but we have few prisoners beyond the wounded, in consequence it is believed of our de ficiency of cavalry. Lieutenant Derriman, of the Caradoc, accompa nied the staff of General Lord Raglan, during the action, and I also sent Lieutenant Glynn of this ship to convey any message to me from his lord ship. - - • _ - the medical officers of the fleet (exceptinc , 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, &c., (Signed) J. W. D. DUNDAS, Vice-Admiral. The Secretary of the Admiralty. " In this movement the head of the column of General Bosquet appeared on the heights, and gave the signal for a general attack. The Alma was crossed at double-quick time. Prince Napoleon, at 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 of the great name he bears. We then arrived at tht foot of the heights, under the fire of the Russian batteries. There, Sire, commenced a real battle along all the lino—a battle with its episodes ol brilliant feats of valour. Your Majesty may bt proud of your soldiers; they have not degenerated: they are the soldiers of Austerlitz and Jena. At half-past four the French army was everywhere victorious. All the positions had been carried a' the point of the bayonet, to the cry of Vive l'Em pereur" which resounded throughout the day. Never was such enthusiasm seen ; even tht • wounded rose from the ground to join in it. On our left the English met with largo masses of the enemy and with great difficulties, but every thing was surmounted. The English attacked tht 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 tht 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 wert 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 tont 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-1 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- 1 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 g. 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 1,033 wounded. Gen. Canrobert, to whom is due in part the honour of the day, was slightly wounded by the splinter of a shell which struck him ,in the breast and hand, but he is doing very wolf. Gen. Thomasson, of the division of the Prince, is seriously wounded by a ball in the abdomen. The Russians have lost about 5,000 men ; the field of battle is covered with their dead, and our field hospitals are full of their wounded. We have counted a pro portion of seven Russian dead bodies for one o 'French. The Russian artillery caused us loss, but ours is very superior to theirs. I shall all my life regret not having had with me my two regiments i of African Chasseurs. The Zouaves were the ad - i Imiration of both armies ; they are the first soldiersi 'in the world. 1 MOVEMENTS OF THE FLEETS ARD ARMIES. No. 487. Britannia, off the Katscha, Sept. 23, 1854. Sir,—l 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 fr•m; the field (about four miles distant), and carrying) on board the transports, the English and Russia* 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-1 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 cluding some sixty or seventy Russians, will follow. Another vessel (by the request of Lord Raglan), with about 500 wounded Russians, will also pro .-eed, 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 sides 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 Prince at onco alighted, notwithstanding the danger, raised up the officer himself, and had him carried to the nearest ambulance. After the battle Marshal de St. Arnaud decided on a movement by his left flank, which ►ill com pletely disconcert the enemy. In place of march ing direct on Sebastopol by the north, he has taken. !the high road leading from Simpheropol to Balaklava. I Llence the Russians and Sebastopol are turned, and as that side of the town is but poorly fortified, it is probable that the allied army will not have any ;Teat difficulty in getting to the heights and burn ing the town and port, if Prince Menschikoff does not surrender. This is the explanation of the move ment which has astonished France, and which has 3ompletely put out the Russian army in their movements. FURTHER DESPATCHES. ORDER OF 'THE DAY OF MARSHAL DE ST.

The second brigade of • • • • , - • ' ill . , • . y ' ! PARIS, Oct. 7.—His Excellency the Minister of War has received from the marshal commanding in-chief the army of the East, the following report Ind letter : Head-quarters, at the Bivouac on the Alma, Sept. 21, 1854. Monsieur le Mar6chal, —My telegraphic 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 haVe had to over ,one in order to carry these formidable positions. The river Alma presents a winding course, with high tanks; the fords are very difficult and few in number The 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 Bosqaet, command ing the 2d division, which this general officer executed n the light with much intelligence and vigour, ha t.lfor mnately removed the difficulties in the way of the ualrch of the two other divisions of the English army. I ever heless, the position of` this general officer, who for a ong 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 ices of the sketch. I sent to his support a brigade of he 4th Division that was in reserve, while the other Jrigade of this same division, following General Bosquet, vent to his assistance. The 3d division marched right on the centre of the positions, having the English army at its left. It h ad )een agreed with Lord Raglan that his troops shou Id )perate on their left a flank movement analogous to t be me General Bosquet was making on the right. But •.in :essantly menaced by the cavalry, and outflanked by the enemy's troops posted on the heights, the left of ti ie English army was obliged to renemice this part of this. programme. _ The general movement took place at the moment when General I3osquet, protected by the fleet, ap aeared on the heights. The gardens, from out of wh Lich, a very hot fire was poured by Russian sbarpshootors , were soon taken possession of by our troops. Our as •- tillery approached in its turn the gardens, and began t o .;annonade warmly the Russian battalions, who wez e formed in columns on the slopes, in order to 'Hippo , A their retreating sharpshooters. Ours, closing •n the ca with incredible boldness, followed them on the slope Ind I then directed my first line through the garde] is. Each man passed where he could, and our columns clir nit , ed .he heights miter a fire of musketry and cannon th at, nevertheless, did not. retard their progress. The , welts were gained, and I threw forward say second line t , ] the support of the first, which rushed on to the c Ty of " Vive l'Empereur ! " The artillery of reserve had, in its turn, been c erried , nwards with a rapidity that was almost incomp rshen sible when the obstacles of the river and the steepn ese of ,he slopes are taken into consideration. The enemy 'a; bat talions, driven back on the plateau, exchanged wit our lines a cant onade and a fire of musketry that ended by I their final retreat in very bad order, which the presence of s ome thousand horse would easily have enabled me to con vert into a total rout. Night arrived, and I had to thin kof establishing our bivouac within reach of the water . I encamped on the field of battle itself while the la emy vas disappearing in the horizon, leaving the vc)und strewed with his dead and wounded, a great num bar of whom he had, however, carried off. While these events were passing on the right : uid at the centre, the lines of the English army cross sd the river in front of the village of Bourlouk, and adi 'arced Against the positions the Russians had fortified, and where they had concentrated considerable masse e, for they had not supposed that the steep slopes corn prised between this point and the sea, and protected by a na tural moat, could be taken by main force by eur t renope. Ibe English army encountered therefore a very a, 31i dly ,)rganised resistance. The com bat that ensued was (me of the hottest, and reflects the laihest honour on our ixrave . 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 I afore, I had had cavalry to cut up the broken and disj tinted 1 masses of infantry as they were retiring before us. 'This battle consecrates in a signal manner the aupei ic rity • `••. of our arose at the beginning of this war. It has disc :on - certed in the highest degree the self-confidence o f the - Russian army, and especially their reliance on the r ,osi _... tions they bad long prepared beforehand, and where ,• they awaited us. This army was composed of the 16th and ' 17th divisions of the Russia* infantry, of one brigs d a of the 13th, of one brigade of the 14th division of reflex eve, i' of the foot chasseurs of the 6th corps, armed with ri flea carrying oblong bullets; of 4 artillery brigades, 2 of wit ich were horse, and of ose battery taken from the siege pa r k of reserve, comprising 12 pieces of heavy ordnance. t'h'eir cavalry was about 5,000 strove, ant the whole f o roe may be estimated at about 50,000 men, commasdet I by Prince Menschikoff in person. -': It is difficult for us to compute the losses of , • the Russian army, but they must be considers .ble, i if we may judge by the dead and wounded i ;h a y •:: could not remove, and who remain in our hands. i n t i t. the ravines of the Alma, on the plateaux in frost, on th e H ;round forming the position carried by the Engl ish '''' , army, the soil is covered with more than ten thou s: eid muskets, knapsacks, and different articles of equipmctio l en IWe have devoted the whole of this day to bury t' heir ';,.. dead where found, and to tend their wounded, wh o 1 - cause to be conveyed along with our town to the eel /c o l s ..' of the fleet in order to be taken to Constantinople.

However, it remains certain that the ': English army have captured two general officers.
