(From the _lnvalids Russe.)

The following telegraphic despatch from Nico-

order of the Emperor, dated. the 17th October :
" From the position of the fortress of Kin-
bourn, which stands on the extreme point of
the tongue of land of the same name on the left
bank of the liman of the Dnieper, the communi-
cation between it and the Nicolaieff was through
Oczakoff only. It was maintained by oared
barges, and the optic marine telegraph established
at Oczakoff. On the appearance of the enemies'
hp,forffi Kinbourn the direct communication
was cut off.
"From the intelligence received by LW
graph the day before yesterday, yesterday, and
to-day, we learn the following :—The fortress of
Kinbourn, after having sustained (on the 15th) a
heavy cannonade from the enemy's gun-boats,
floating batteries, and steam-frigates, replied by
a quick aid well-directed fire from its guns. At
the fall of night the fire ceased on both sides.
"Yesterday (16th) it was resumed and continued
throughout the day, but was not so heavy. This
morning (17th), at 9 o'clock, 11 steam-frigates
and a ship of the line of 90 guns reinforced the
enemy's flotilla; and the whole of the ships simul-
taneously commenced a most violeit vertical and
horizontal fire on the place.
" This feu d'enfer continued till half-past two
in the afternoon, when the fortress, in the interior
of which all the buildings were in flames, ceased
to fire, and the enemy ceased firing also.
" At 3 o'clock, two boats, with a flag of truce,
approached the fort. Half an hour afterwards,
the enemy's troops, a part of the land force that
had been disembarked, entered the place. The
vessels anchored inside the point moved to the
Oczakoff side, and towards the Nicholas battery
on the opposite bank, but up to this evening they
had not opened their fire."
