Private dispatches supply the rest of the
news, namely that the Russians, under Menschi-
kotf, rallied on the river Katsksa on the 22d and
again gave battle to the allies were again de-
feated and driven TO the entertainments before
Sevnstopol; again rallied and fought the third
battle on the oath, and were third time de-
feated, and fled into Sevastopol, which was be-
seiged by sea and land Fort Constantine blew
up; other forts were stormed The Russians
lost $4,000 killed and wounded $4,000 of the
garrison were made prisoners Of war. There is
great rejoicing throughout Great Britain and

New York, Oct I6
FURTHER By THE BALTIc.--The Baltic left
Liverpool at A. M. on the 4th, inst, with 222
passengers On the 18th, off Cape Race, she
spoke and boarded the British schooner John
Clemens, cruising for the missing boats, and
learned from her all the particulars of the caas-
trophe.
The Africa arrived out on Sunday.
The steamer San Jacinto put back to South
ampton with machinery damaged, having, when
off Texel, broken ore of her screws. She will
be delayed for repairs five or six weeks.
On the 25th, Fort Constantine was invested by
sea and land, and, after an obstinate defense, was
carried by storm. The allies then bombarded
the city and fleet. Ten Russian ships of the
line were burned and sunk The remaining forts
were carried one after the other. One thousand
guns were silenced, and $4,000 prisoners were
taken. The Russians lost in dead and disabled
is estimated at not less than $4,000 in Sevasto-
pol alone.
Menschikof, with the shattered remains of his
force, retired into position in the inner harbor,
threatening to fire the town, and blow up the re-
naming ships, unless the victors would grant
him honorable capitulation. The allied Generals
demanded his unconditional surrender, and in the
name Of humanity gave him six hours for con-
sideration. The latest dispatch says Menschi-
koff had surrendered. The British and French
flag wave over Sevastopol.
The intrenched camp of the Russians, on the
height OF the Almy, contained 10000 men and
numerous artillery, and was carried at the point
of the bayonet, after four hours fighting. No
general officer of the British was wounded-
Marshal ST. Arnaud and Lord Raglan command
ed in person. Gen. Thomson, French, was
thought to be fatally wounded Gen. Canrobert
was wounded in the shoulder.
The second engagement, on the plains of Ka-
latai, lasted several hours, and was not very san
guinary,and ended in the total defeat of the Rus
slams, who were pursued to their entertainments
before Sevastopol.
Dispatches state that the garrison of Sevasto-
pol were offered free withdrawal, but surrender
ed as prisoners of war. The dispatches as to
Scvastopol are very conflicting. One, dated Ber-
lin, the Sd, says a telegraph despatch has been
received here, direct from st. Petersburg, to the
effect that Menschikof had telegraphed, under
date of Sept 25th, that he had Withdrawn his
troops unmolested from before Sevastopol to-
ward Batchesral, where he will await reinforce
ments. He adds that Sevastopol had not been
attacked up to the 26th. Russian accounts do
not confirm the facts of several reverses in the
Crimea to their arms.
Dispatches from Berlin, the 29th say the re-
turn of the French fleet from the Baltic had been
countermanded and a dispatch dated Kiel, I'd,
states that the fleet left that harbor that day to
join Napier, in the Baltic. Napier was before
Revel on the Odd.
