THE FALL OF sEyAsTOpOLi

THE FALL OF SEVASTOPOL!
On of the most saDguinary battles Of modern
times has been fought and SEvAsTOPOL HAS
FALLEN The facts, as far as known are that
battle took place on the Sept. at the River
Alma--the French and English, with a loss of
two thousand eight hundred killed and wounded.
stormed the Russian entertainments and drove
the enemy back. The Russians appear to have
made stand on the Katscha, and another battle
was fought there, the 23d Sept, resulting in the
defeat of the Russians, who were pursued by the
allies to the landward walls of Sevsstopol. More
fighting took place under the walls. On the 18th
Fort Constantine was invested by sea and land,
and. after an obstinate defense. was carried by
storm. The allies then bombarded the city and
the feet. Ten Russian Ships the line were
burned and sunk; the remaining forts were car
ried, one after another; eight hundred guns were
silenced; twenty. two thousand prisoners were
taken, and the Russian lose, in dead and disabled,
estimated at not less than 5000 in Sevsstopol
alone. In the midst of this tremendous havoc
MenchikofI, with the shattered remains Of his
force. retired into position in the inner hsrbor,
and threatened to FIRE the town and blow up the
remaining ships unless the victors would grant
him an honorable capitulation. The allied Gen
erals demanded his unconditional surrender, and,
n the name of humanity, gave him six hours for
consideration. The six hours had not expired
when the last advices left, but it was rumored
that he had surrendered, and that the French and
English flags waved over Sevastopol.
Latest. has surrendered
Having given the main features of this exciting
Bews, we proceed to give such details as had come
to hand. These details, such as they are, were
mostly forwarded in mere fragmentary scraps, of
two or three lines each, to the English Govern.

to the London papers and to the public 1t would
seem that European correspondents have yet to
learn that telegrapAic dispatch can be made to
contain more than twenty words, that being about
the extent Of the information telegraphed to the
Governments Of France and England respecting
events which the papers of the New.York Asso
