All England, and may say the whole Of Europe,
the tptoe Of expectation to hear Of the fall
of Sebastopol. As yet no reliable intelligence to
thst effect has reached us, though it IL presumed
that ere this the doomed city has fallen. The heavy
meta Of the guns Of the besiegers is such that il
the town did not capitulate 1t would be knocked to
pieces in forty eight hours. Various sorties have
been made by the Russians, but with no success.
They have sent eighty pound shot into the
allied camps from their heavy batteries. 1000 sail
ors, with tty guns from the fleet (32 pounders) had
been landed, and about 1900 marines The reinforce
ments received by the allies bring up their united
strength to nearly one hundred thousand men.
Considerable obscurity prevails the movements
Of the Russians; the very whereabouts Of Msnschi-
koff Is ignored; Gems. OstenSacken, Luders, Gorts
chakoff and others are all reported to be advancing
with large forces 70 raise the siege and give battle
near Bslsklavs; 1900 troops also said to have
reinforced Sebastopol by the north side, which is
open. 5000 cavalry made show Of attack on the
9Th on the English outpests, but withdrew when
the English cavalry turned ont to meet them.
Suppoaing Mepschikof dares battle on the plain
In front of Balakavs the forces of the alies ore al
most equal to his own (aupposing that the Russian
reinforcements have reached him. and the stimulus
Of the victory Of the Alma ia such that with the ad
vantage of the heights this time in the possession
Of the allies, no tear Is felt for the result.
Deserters say that the Russians are resolved to
die like men, and will defend every stone Of the
walls, and blow themselves up 10 necessary. You
may therefore expect list of fearful carnage short
ly. A descent has been made by por-
tion Of the feet q. Yalta, on the eastern
coast of the Crimea That portion Of the Crime, Is
described as most saubrious and lovely. Here are
the summer palaces Of the Emperor, Empress,
Prince Galitzen, Prince Potoski, Co1nt Warobgow,
DC, &c. These palaces are abandoned, and are
said to be sumptuous and almost royal in comfort
and msgnidcence- parks stocked with deer, gardens
and pleasure grounds, forest and water, aud the
most luscious fruits Of every description; the cellars
stocked with choice wines. The English admiral
gave strict orders that no private residences were
to be touched, and anything taken away was to be
paid for. The French were not 20 particular, and
made rich booty.
Men here are anxious that Omer PashA should at
once take the offensive, and thereby create
o diversion In favor OF the allies In the Cd-
mea, by occupying . great portion of the Rus
SLAMS on the Pruth and Danube. It Is also
hoped that Austria win at once take the field
