THE WAR.

Reports as TO tho fall of Sovastopol had been again
circulated stimuli aneously in Vienna Paris aud Lon
don, and large stock operations were said to have
been made on the faith of the statements but the pub
lie were slow 20 believe For the sake of comparing
these rumors with the facts when they shall traupre,
we may mention that reports say the Quarantine Fort
was taken on the llth and the rest of the defenses
we're speedily carried by storm. Government en-
plOy6s, however, who may be supposed to be wiser
than common men, say that serious Intelligence
must not be looked for before the beginning of No
vember.
The latest official dispatch is of date no later than
October 3, and is from General Canrobert TO the
French Minister fWar. No fresh military operation
he'd been effected since the taking possession of Bca
klavs. The two armies French and English were
established in excellent military position, the Eng
lsh drawing its motere and provisions from Balakla
va, and the French from two small bays to the north
Cape Chersonesrs. This position Of the two armies
had naturally determined their mode of distribution on
the ~ ound before SeyestapOl. The French will have
the left of the attack from the sea TO the southern
fort and IL Epglish will take the right from the
southern fort to the ruins Of Inkermann. Tue French
army s divided into two corps-the first under Gen.
Forey and composed Of tee third ano fourth divi ions,
vii, mahe ,be siege; the second, under the command
Of Gen. Bosquet and comprising the first and second
divisions will form the corps of observation. The
Turkish division will be placed in reserve. according
10 circumstances. Similar arrangements have been
made by the English; portion Of their force will
assist In the attacks against the place. and the other
part forming corps II observation, will be united
with the corps of Gen. Bosquet. These arrangements
tesys Gen. Cunrober,) are Of nature to remove all
doubt as to the results of the aiege.
