Crmea, had not falenhad not been assaed The Wen
Mnsters story had proved to be worthy Of the city
IL came from and the exclusive contribution Of NJ
Mnsurus to the Russian journal turns out to be mere
| fudge after all.
Tuesday last took the liberty to describe the
ditioD of the public mind in these words Every
meet is morally convinced that the report of the fall
Of Sebastopo is true and yet anxious Official intelli
gence to authorize him to believe what he has already
made up his mind to beeve. Tn this teasing state Of
suspepse the public Was kept from Sunday morning till
elgence published but only to destroy the pleasing
belief that Sebastopo bad fallen and to render the posi-
ton and prospects Of the Allies in the Crimea diff
to be understood than they before The prey-
GUS dispatches Of Lord Stratord de Redce Marshal St.
Armand and Lord Raglan left the Allied armies victors
after hard contested Sight on the 10th of September
the banks OF the Alma, thirteen miles to the north
ofSebaatopol.
The dispatch Of Lord Stratford de Radcliffe published
yesterday afternoon - if the expressions the Allied
armies established their basis of operations and were
preparing to march without delay Sebastopo are to
hoE lp faa}
nine miles south of Sebastopo The history of the inter
reniug days is left blank and to our utter aston
ishment find the Allied armies far to the south Of
sebastopo as we left them to the north of it. How did
they get to Balaklaya Were they re-embarked at Cane
Lukul and re-landed at Balakaya Or did they march
past Sebasopo to have the pleasure marching back to
it again These knotty problems Stratford de Red
dispatch leaves the English public to puzzle out for
themselves n -
1t seems however as if-were the apocryphaf nara
tyes OF the Tartar who brought from onsa
tnople to omer Pacha and the master Of the Frah
steamer who was hailed at the mouth of the Bosphorus NV
countrymGn carrying the Of the fall Of Sebastopol
to Constantinope left out OF view-t would not he ain
cult to CLEAN from the published dispatches of the Allied
commanders and Prince Menschikof toleraby
