New York, Oct. 16.-On the 2lst. the
allies stormed the Russian entrenchments at
the Alma river, and after four hours hard
hghting carried the works. The Anglo
French loss is put down at $500 killed and
wounded, and the Russians at G,OOO
Private dispatches supply the rest Of the
news, namely: That the Russians, under
Menchikoff, rallied on the river Kazchan
on the 23d, and again gave battle to the
allies, and were again defeated and driven
to their entrenchment behind Sevastopol.
where they again rallied and fought the third
battle on the Oath, and were third time
defeated, and they then fed into Savastopol,
which was baleaguered by sea and land.
Fort Constantine was invested BY sea and
land, and, after an obstinate defence, was
carried by storm. The allies then lombard

and 800 guns silenced and $4,000 prisoners
taken
The Russian loss in dead and disabled, is
ESTIMATED al not less than $4,000 in Savasto-
Ipol alone. Nlenschikoff, with the shattered
remains of his force, retired into position in
the inner harbor, and threatened to fire the
town and blow up the remaining ships, un-
less the victors would grant him an honorable
capitulation. The allied generals demanded
his unconditional surrender, and in the name
of humanity, gave him six hours considera-
ton. Our latest dispatch says Manchikoff
surrendered, and that the British and French
flags were waving over Sevastopol.
An entrenched camp Of Russians, on the
heights of Alma, containing $4,000 men and
numerous artillery and cavalry, was carried |
at the point of the bayonet, after four hours
fighting. No general officers of the British
were wounded. Marshal St. Arnaud and
Lord Raglan commanded in person. Gen.
Thomasson, (French) it is thought, is fatally
wounded. Gen. Canrobert was wounded in !
the shoulder.
The second engagement on the plains Of
kaluntar lasted several hours. 1t was very
and ended in the total defeat of k
the Russians, who were pursued to their en-
trenchments before Sevastopol.
Dispatches state that the garrison of Sc
vastopol was offered free withdrawal, but
as prisoners of war; The des,
patches are very conflicting. One, dated
Berlin, the 3D., says telegraphic dispatch
had been received from st. Petersburgh to
the effect that Menschihoff had telagraphe
under date of Sept. 25th, that he had with
drawn his troops, unmolested, from before
Sevastopol towards Bakeschi Sarei, where he
would await reinforcements.
The Russian accounts do not conceal the
.act of severe reverse in the Crimea. A |
lispatch dated Berlin, 29th, says the return
ot the French feet from the Baltic was

A dispatch dated Kiel, 2l, states that the
leet had left that harbor to join Napier in
he Bal tic. Napier was before Revel on the

receiving reinforcements. Omar
