DESPATCHES FROM GENERAL

PELISSIER.

PARIS, MONDAY NIGHT.

General Pelissier sends the following des•
patch :

" BRANCION REDOUBT, SUNDAY, 3 A.. rs.
" The Karabelnaia suburb and southern part

of Sebastopol no more exist.

" The enemy, perceiving how firmly we were
established in the Malakhoff, resolved to evacuate
the place, after having blown up by mines and
laid in ruins nearly all the defences.

" Passing the night here in the midst of my
troops, I am able to assure you from personal ob-
servation that the Karabelnaia suburb has been

completely blown up, and the same thing must
have happened before our Left Attack.

" This immense success does the greatest ho-
nour to our troops. To-morrow I shall be able

to ascertain more precisely the results of this
great day, in which Generals Thsquet and 111`MA-
.
hon have shared the chief honours.

"On the Tchernaya all is peaceable: we are

guarding that line."

SECOND DESPATCH.

PARIS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, 4.12.

The following despatch from Ganeral Pelissier
has been posted at the Bourse:—
" CRIMEA, SEPT. 9, 8 A.M.
" To-day I have ascertained that the enemy
has sunk his steam-vessels.

" The work of destruction continues under the

fire of our mortars. As mines are successively
sprung at different points, it is my duty to defer
entering the place, which has the appearance of

a great furnace.

" Prince Gortschakoff, being closely pressed by
our fire, has demanded an armistice to carry off
his wounded. The bridge near Fort St. Pant has

been destroyed by the enemy.

" I am engaged in ascertaining the amount of
our loss, and I shall forward the result as soon as

I know it exactly.

"Everything is going on well.

"We are watching the movements of the

enemy on the Tchernaya."

The South-Western Company's steamer Transit, Cap-
tain Lewis, arrived on Sunday at Southampton, from
Jersey and Guernsey. She had on board a number of
passengers, a large cargo, and several head of cattle.
The cattle were in the hold of the vessel, the hatchway
of which was left open for the sake of ventilation.
Amongst the passengers were .a gentleman and lady who
had been visiting the Channel Islands for the last three
weeks. At three o'clock oh Sunday morning the gen- " CRIMES, SEPT. 9, 10.15 A.M.

CHARGE AGAINST AN OFFICIAL ASSIGNEE.—We un-
derstand that Messrs. P. R. and J. Power, accountants,
of this city, have just completed an elaborate investiga-
tion of the accounts of all the estates allotted to Mr. T.
R. Hutton, as official assignee of our local Court of
Bankruptcy, who it will be remembered was dismissed
by the Lord Chancellor from office and absconded from
England in May last. Certain defalcations in various
estates to the amount of 12,2001., we are told, have been
discovered. A report to the Lord Chancellor is raid to
be in course of preparation, and we presume will be made
public after presentation. The numerous creditors in-
terqated in the matter will also be glad to learn whether
the deficiency will be made up from arty other source

whom there are some doubts), or whether they will have
to receive a dividend upon a dividend.—Bristcl Mercury.

Love and Wallinger, yesterday, made one of the best
&cullers' races of the season. The distance was from
Putney to Mortlake, for a stake of 10/., and considerable
bets. Wallinger took the lead and kept it for about
300 yards, when his opponent came up, and they were
scull and scull, and with alternate leads of the most
trifling description they arrived at the Crab-tree; where

PARIS, TUESDAY, SEPT. 11, 7 A.M.

The Minister of Marine has received the fol-
lowing telegraphic despatch from Vice-Admiral

Bruat :

" Tho six English mortar-boats, also at anchor
in Streletzka Bay, fired about the same number
of shells.

" Last night violent explosions and vast confla-
grations made us suppose that the Russians were

evacuating the town.
" To-day we ascertained that the Russian vez.
eels had been sunk.
" The bridge was covered with troops retreat•
ing to the north side,
" After 8 o'clock the bridge was destroyed.
" Only a few steamers remain in the port,
anchored near Fort Catherine.
" I approached this morning the Quarantine
batteries on board the Brandon, and ascertained
myself that they are now evacuated.
" They have just blown up.

have withdrawn from the town, after setting

on fire, blown up all the public buildings and
works of defence, and sunk their last ship.
The Slrdinians have lost forty men in the

trenches.

It was General Bosquet's corps cr arrde which
captured the Malakhoff.

PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF'S DESPATCH.
BERLIN, MONDAY NIGHT.
A despatch from Prince Gortschakoff of th•

9th, at noon, says :

" The enemy receives constantly reinforcements
of fresh troop. The bombardment is fiercely

violent.

" 10 AT Mout —The garrison of Sebastopol,
after sustaining an infernal fire (fen d'enfer), re-
pulsed six assaults, but could not drive the
enemy from the Korniloff Bastion (the Malakhoff

Tower). Our brave troops, who resisted to the

last extremity, are now crossing over to the
Northern part of Sebastopol.

" The enemy found nothing in the Southern

part but blood-stained ruins,

"Oh the 9th of September the passage of the
garrison from the Southern to the Northern part

was accomplished with extraordinary success, our
loss on that occasion being but 100 men.

"We left, I regret to say, nearly 500 men
grievously wounded on the Southern side."

MARSEILLES, SEPT. 10.

The Jourdain, which left Constantinople cn

the 3d inst., has arrived. The adviees from tle

Crimea are to the Ist September.

She brings 160 invalids.

BERLIN, MONDAY.

The elections of the Second Chamber are fixed

for primary electors, on the 27th Sept. ; for
Deputies, for the 10th October.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The great and absorbing topic of the day is the
taking of the Malakhoff, and almost to a certainty
that of Sebastopol. The following despatch was
received this morning from General Pelissier :
" CRIMEA, SEPT. 9, 8 P.M.
"I have ascertained this day that the enemy has sunk
his steamers. His work of destruction has continued
under the fire of our shells. Mines exploding succes-
sively and on many points impose on me the duty of
postponing my entry into the place, which presents only
one vast scene of conflAgration. Nevertheless, hemmed
in close by our. fire, Prince Gortschakoff demands an
armistice, in order to remove his wounded mar the Fort
St. Paul, the bridge having, as a measure of precaution,
been destroyed by his orders. I am collecting the
status of our loss, and _you shall have the numbers so
soon as they are made known to me. Everything goes
on well. We are wgtching the Tchernays."
It may be necessary to observe that there is a
hiatus between this despatch and that published in
the Moniteur of this morning announcing the tak-
ing of the Malakhoff. From the one just quoted
it is clear that the south part of Sebastopol is in
our power, as the General states the only reason
why he does not enter is on account of the mines
exploding in various directions. From another
expression of the despatch referring to Prince
Gortschakoff being hemmed in by our fire, it is
not improbable that he will have been made pri-
soner with the garrison. There are, however, two
despatches between that published in the Moniteur
this morning and the one just given. These de-
spatches were not received up lo 3 o'clock. They
will no doubt give details as to what occurred
after the taking of the Malakhoff, the repulse of the
English and that of General de Salles. I under-
stand that the Minister-at-War has declared that
Sebastopol may be considered as taken. This
last despatch has been . a great relief, as
much anxiety was felt this morning as to the
French being able to keep their position.
The effect produced by this news it is hardly
necessary to allude to. After all our patience, all
we have endured, and all we have lost, to find at
last our efforts crowned with success, our flag
floating on the Malakhoff Tower, and on the
smoking walls of Sebastopol, the destruction of tho
Russian fleet by the bands of the vanquished them-
selves, Sebastopol an immense furnace, and Prince„
Gortschakoff forced to pray for an armistice to
remove his dead and wounded from Fort St. Paul,
the last and now useless defence of the faubourg of
Karabelnaia. Our vast undertaking, on the reali-
sation of which so many different opinions have
been expressed, approaches its consummation, and
a few hours have crowned the success obtained by
a year of the most heroic efforts. The naval and
military power of Russia in the East has found at
!ast its surest "limitation."

A supplement to the Moniteur is published. It
contains the delayed despatch, which sufficiently
explains what was uncertain. It is in thesc

,erms :

"GENERAL PELIRSIER TO THE MINISTER OF W.
,‘ Redoubt Brandon, Sep'. 9, 3 a.m.
"Karabelnaia and the s,uth part of Sebastopol no
longer exist. The enemy, seeing our solo? oo unation a'
Malakhoff, decided on evacuating the place, after hav-
ing laid it in ruins, and blown up, by mining, almost a!
the defences. Having passed the night in the midst 01
my troops, I can assure von that tll has been blown;
gp at Kaiabelnaia, and from what I have been enabled
t') see it must be the same in front of our attacks on
the left. This immense success does the greatest ho-
nour to our troupe. I will give you the details of our
losses of the day, which, after so many obstinate com-
bats, cannot be otherwise than serious. To-morrow I
shall be able to give you exactly the result of this great
day, of which Generals Bosquet and MacMahon have
in great part the honour. All is quiet on the Tchernaya.
We are keeping a look out there."

The guns of the Invalides will, no doubt, fire a
grand salute to-morrow morning.
