Tie Morniss Chronicle, after investigating the
source. from which we derived the intelligence Of the
fab Of Sevss,opo remarks that there many de-
tails of the story which savored rather too much of the
nelo dramatic effect 20 be implicitly adopted and
axis. why the news sent TO Oner Pasha should not
have been simultaneously sent TO the English and
French Governments Sail, adds The Chronicle,
there can be little doubt that by this time the desired
success has crowned efforts and at all events it
can only be postponed few days longer. The re-
treat Of Price Menchikof with his army would
amount In fact 10 abandoning Seves opol 70 its h;e,
and although very little il certainly known of the
pabties Of the place for defence we are at least
sured that the term fortress is very inaccursely sp-
piled TO il, aud that il could not offer prolonged re-
sistance to the of the allies The hope OF the
Russian general would be. no doubt TO receive re-
Inducements sufficient TO enable him TO advance and
relieve the town, but when we consider that 10000
additional troops, including streng force Of cavalry
must already have joined the allied commanders, we
may feel satisfied that they will give excellent ac-
count of whatever hostile army may be brought to in
terrupt their operations.
An extraordinary Go=ette will be published 30 soon
the Of those who have fallen in the sctisn
or have been wounded in the Crinea shall have been
received; and the royal commission authorizing the
collection and control OF patriotic fund for the re-
lief Of the widows and orphans Of soldiers, sailors and
marines killed or dying active service in the pres
ent war; will aso be published a. the same time, if
not previously promulgated.

From other sources we learn that the Russian ar

position was carried by the bayonet Marshal ST.

Three English steamers protected the passage Of the

THE BATTLE OF KALANTAI PLAINS.
SECOND DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS.

From the small number Of guns or prisoners taken
by the allies at the Alma On the 2lst infer that
their the allies success amounted to no more than
driving the Russians from their position the nights
At all events Prince Menchikoff had managed again
TO bring his forces into Order and the 23d Of Sep
tember he gave battle to he advancing forces in the
plains Of Kaantai on the river Kstcha. After san
culinary engagement, which lasted some hours, the
Russians totally defeated and pursued to their
Entertainments befor Sevastopol. Here they appear
to have madea third stand and to have again offered
battle 10 the invaders.

When the news reached Constantinople it was
ordered that the city should be illuminated for ten

THE LANDING IN THE CRIMEA-ARRIvAL
OF TIE INVADING ARMY.

On Sept. 49, the formidable squadron of the allies
in sight Of the spot selected for the landing Of
the main body of their army. All the ships were
drawn up in lines and extended front Of nine miles
All eyes and telescopes turned toward the beach,
but not hostile uniform visible. The signal to
commence the disembarcation was to be gun from
the Agammemnon, and,every ship and boats crew
knew precisely the place they would have to occupy
Nogun, however, was fired, but brief conversation
by signal took place between the admlrals and gen.
erals, and toward o'clock in the evening boats put
off from the Agamemnon to the steamers and trans
ports with the following orders to the Quarterm iser
General Of the divisions:
ORDER FOR SAILING.
WEDNESDAY, NIGHT.

- The First Division to sail at 8 A NJ.
The Third Division and the Fifth Division TO sail at A. NJ

not 20 nearer to the shore than eight fstlOms."
According to these orders, the ships Of the various
divisions proceeded TO the locality indicated. The
place described low strip of beach and shlnge,
cast up by the violence of the surf, and forming
sort of causeway between the and stsgnant salt
water lake-one of those remarkable deposits of
brsokish water so frequent along the shore of the
Crimea This lake is about mile and a half broad,
and when the fleet arrived was covered with wild
fowl Another similar sheet of water lay TO the south,
and another to the north, toward Eupatora. The
causeway than 200 yards broad, and leads,
cent, 70 irregular table land plateau of trfiag
elevation, which ia dotted with mounds tamui,,
and extends TO the base of the very remarkable chain
of bill called from their shape, the Tent Mountains.
Toward the sea the plateau presents precptous face
OF red clay and sandstone varying in height from 100
TO 80 feet and it terminates by deseent-almost to
the sea levelat the distance of nearlywo miles from
the shores of the lake. Thence toward the south there
is low sandy beach with fringe of single raised
by the action of the waves, above the level of the
land, which it thus from inundation. This low
coast far the eye reach, till it is lost
beneath the base Of the mountain ranges above Sc
vastopol. From the ship the invaders could see
homesteads and villages lying peacefully in the rays
of the autumn sun, and the inhabitants quietly pur
suing their ordinary occupations. Hundreds Of cat
tie covered the fields, and the farmhouses were
rounded by the evidences of abundant harvest in
the shape of stacks Of grain. The inhabitants in
dress and aspect, bore resemblance to the better
class Of Bulgarian farmers.
ATT o'clock on the morning of the 18th, most OF
the fleet in their assigned positions and without
any very great deviation from the prescribed order
the ships drew up in line parallel to the beach, the
French running close in shore below the cliffs OF the
plateau.

digging a hole. Presently the anxious spectators
from the ships saw flagstaff raised and the ricolor
run up! Immediately the French Admiral fired a
gun-boats dashed out from every one Of the French
ships and in 90 minutes they had landed 5000 men!
The French were thus the first to take possession of
the Crmea. The instant the French had landed

and skirmishers pickets sent on in front As
each regiment followed in column, its predecessors

marching order, en- Tiraleur, spreading out like

their progress and to note the rapid manner in which
they appropriated the soil In one hour after their
first detachment had landed 5000 troops of all arms,
were on shore and their advanced posts were family
observable between three and four miles from the
beach. The French had in all "a, 900 men.
