Arrival Of the Pacific.

rived at New I ork on Sunday, with Inv
orpool 3 ates to the morning of the 23d
ult. The Africa arrived out at 81 A. NJ
on the Goth.
The fall of Bomarsund is confirmed by
this arrival. 1t appears that consldera-
bic part of the garrison had retired be-
fore the attack, leaving only garrison OF
two thousand, and it was intended to G.
vacuate and destroy the works entirely;
but the attack of the allies prevented this
intention from being carried out. The
attacking force amounted to twelve thous-
and, mostly French, and the fleet, or a
portion of it, seems also to have fired up
on the works.
Fifteen sail Of the line, of which four
ships and four steamers were French, arc
stated to have lain within range of the
works during the fight, and probably a
part of them, at least, participated in it.
The credit of the victory, such as it is, is
given to the French. The loss was not
great, the French having about 100 Kill
led, and the British only 3 or 4.
The detached forts Tee and Nottich
were first taken! They were garrisoned
by about 100 men EACH Fort Tzec was
attacked by the French, and of its defen-
ders, seventy were killed or wounded,
leaving only thirty-ive captured unhurt
Port Nottich seems to have made less re-
sistance, as ll5 prisoners were taken in
it,
The attack on the main fortress then
commenced. One account says it was
bombarded from 5. A. NJ. on the 18th,
to p. NJ on the 10th, and that part of
the works were blown up before propos-
ais were made to surrender. About
1900 prisoners were taken, who were en-
barked on board the allied fleets. The
capitulation is said by one account, to
have taken place at 1880 P, NJ. on the
10th. The allies claim to have captured
hundred pieces of cannon. Gen, Bara-
quay D'Hillicas, commanding the land
forces, had narrow escape, cannon
ball having passed between him and the
aid camp with whom he was convers-
ing.
Admiral Napier had warned all neu-
trail vessels to leave Riga before Aug. 10th.

States to Sobastopol.
