THE CRIMEA.

" MARSEILLES, THURSDAY EVENING.

The Nil, which left Constantinople on the

25th, has arrived with despatches.
The loss of the English at the battle of the

Alma amounts to 2,000 men.

That of the French is not so great.

General Bonet is among the killed.

Lord Burghers'', who left Malta in the Fury
before the Nil, with despatches for the English

Government, has not yet arrived.

The capture of Sebastopol is not confirmed.

The following is another account:—
MARSEILLES, OcT. 5 (NIGHT).
The Fury brings news from Sebastopol of the
27th. It was confidently stated that the second
line of defences had been carried. The place was
commanded by the Allies, who occupied the

heights.

The Russian naval division had made an un-
successful attempt to push out with 14 sail.
In the battle of the Alma the Russians defended
the heights with 100 guns ; yet the Allies car-
ried the summit.

The want of cavalry was much felt in the pur-

suit.

MARSEILLES, FRIDAY MORNING,

EIGHT A. 1,4 .

The Fury, which left Constantinople on the

27th, has arrived.
Up to the 24th there had been no further fight-
ing in the Crimea.
The 23rd Regiment lost all its officers but
three, of whom Captain Bell was the senior.
Colonel Ainslie was killed in planting a standard
on the heights of Alma.
General Brown had a horse killed under him.
Sebastopol is invested.

The following is another despatch from the
same place, it is dated—

PARIS, FRIDAY, EIGHT A.M.

The Moniteur announces the occupation of
Balaklava, of which the Allies have already made
a considerable place.

The Allied armies were in communication with
the fleets. A safe and practicable road leads to
Sebastopol.
The Allies are now firmly established in the
Crimea.

The various columns of the army had to cross
several rivers in succession, in order to turn the
Gulph of Sebastopol, and enter the mountain
country, before they could arrive at Balaklava.

Menschikoff had been driven to a distance with
the wreck of his army.

VIENNA, THURSDAY, Oc T. 5.

The following intelligence has been received

here :

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 30.

The Banshee has arrived with official de
&patches, dated Balaklava, evening of the 28th.

The siege artillery had been landed at Balak-
lava from the ships which were blockading Sebas-
topol—Balakla,va being now included in the ope-
rations of the allied expedition.

How the Allied army gained this new position

is not stated.

Princ© Menschikoff stood with only 20,000
men at Baktchi-Serai, awaiting reinforcements.
s
The Russians have blown up Anapa to reinforce

Prince Menschikoff with its garrison.

Thus tho bubble intelligence from Bucharest is
fully proved to have been false.
The above news is quite authentic.

PARIS, THURSDAY, OCT. 5.

A despatch from the French Minister at
Vienna has been posted up at the Bourse denying
the fall of Sebastopol.
The Austrian Consul at Odessa writes under
date of Sept. 29, as follows :
" The Allies renewed fighting on the 25th and
27th. They were on the Belbeck, ten worsts from
Sebastopol.
" English vessels had brought 300 Russian
wounded to Odessa.

Under date of 30th September, Lord Stratford
de Redcliffe writes from Constantinople that the
Allied -armies had established a basis of operations
at Balaklava on the morning of the 28th, and
were preparing to march on Sebastopol.

The Agamemnon and other English vessels
were in the port of Balaklava, where there was
every facility for landing siege artillery.

Prince Menschikoff held the field with 20,000

men, awaiting reinforcements.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort publishes a
telegraphic despatch from Vienna, dated the 2d,
and communicated to . that journal by the Syndi-
cate of the Bourse, n Which- it id aitted. from
Bucharest, the 30th, that Omer Pacha had re-
ceived despatches, announcing the news which
has been sent from Vienna,' y the Baron de Bour-
queney, but which, as he stated, rested on the
authority of the courier from Constantinople, and
not on any knowledge of the despatcheS forwarded
to Omer Pacha, for be was at Silistria, and it
was necessary to send on the despatches to him. As
it does not require more than 24 hours for a courier
to go from Bucharest to Silistria and return to Bu'
charest, the nature of the despatches sent to Omer
Pacha could have been known in the capital of
Wallachia on the Ist. If these despatches had con-
tained the important news announced by the courier,
Omer Paella would certainly have communicated it
officially to the authorities of Bucharest and the
fact would have been known inParis on the follow-
ing day.
