and by whom it was brought to the Telegraph;
and, besides, up to the present hour the English
Government has not got any confirmation Of the
most important contents Of the dispatch. Still. 1t
cannot be doubted that, on the 9th inst, great
battle was fought before Sevastopol, aud that the
Russsns were worsted, though il is not credible
that they should have lost 10000 men. The do
tails Of the affair before Stvsstopol may be given
as follows:
On the Goth of September the English and
French established themselves at Balaklava aud
Cape Cherson, aud made preparations for regu-
lar siege OF the south side of Sevsstopol. Theic
trenches were opened, and the bombardment be-
gan on the Eth of October. The FIRE Of the al
lies was insufficient the French batteries wero
senced, and in order to divert the attention os
the besieged Russians from the weak point Of tho
French approaches, the fleet was ordered to At
tack the outer forts. The attack was splendidly
made, but the loss attending it so heavy, that 1t
was not renewed. On the land side, the lombard
mept was carried on with renewed vigor up to
TIE 22d, but the Russian batteries were unsub-
dued. In the meantime the achievements from
the PIipcipalites and Southern Russia began 10

siye operations. Gen. Liprapdi surprized tho
English extreme right flank, and carried the
Notifications which were to protect the road from
Balaklava to the camp. Their further progress
was checked by the indomitable courage Of the
ENGLISH; still the redoms remained in the hands Of
Liprandi and the English did not attempt on thu
following day to storm them being satisfied
in leaving, and on the 26th repulsng sortie from

of Balaklaya began to be thoughtof.

in the same time attacked by the Russians sally
ing from the fortress, and were repulsed by Gen.
Torrey, after having lost 1000 men. 1t s diff
cult TO copcliate the two different statements;
but the fact of battle and of Russian loss on tho
9TH is not to be doubted. SO much is sure-that
the Russians begin TO feel themselves strong. and
therefore they take the offensive. The allies re-
quire reenforcements; 10000 English soldiers
are on their way to the Crimea while Louis M
poleon has not only sent $1,000 men to the East
since the last news but he has likewise given or
ders to transport the northern corps to the seat
