! that adviccs from Prince Mcnchkoil of the 10th,

some anxiety here
| VIENNA. Oct. 3--Prince MenchikoT's dis
patch to st. Petersburg is doubtless dated the
10th, not the 10Th, for his last dispatch was IL
days on the way.
The local papers publish the following -
Five hours after the bomhardlmcnt Fort Con-
santinc blew up Ten thousand Russians were
buried in its ruins. Prince Mencbikof fled to
Fort Alexander. where 5000 Russians surrcn-
dcrcI. The allied iccts simultaneously de
stroycd the outer harhor forts and vanguard of
the Russian fleet. Prince Mcnchikon is report
cd to have Internationally surrendered on the
10Th
BERLIN, oct. "a trlrgraphic dispatch has
been received here direct from st. Petersburg.
1t says that Prince MenclIikon has telegrap lcd
nnler date olSept. -. that he has Withdrawn
his troops unmolcstcd from before SchaStopol
toward Bak.-chi. Scrci. There he will await
renturcemcnls from kertsch and Perckop. He
adds thUt Seba,topol had not been attacked up
to The 10th Of September.
The Morning Chronicle after investigating
the sources from which We derived the intcll-
gcnce Of The fall of S;cbaStupul. remarks that
there were many details Of the story. which
vcrod rather too much of the mclo dramatic ci
feet to be implicitly adopted. and asks why the
news sent to Dulcr Pacha should not have been
simultaneously sent to the English and French
Governments. Still. adds the Chronicle. there
can be little doubt that by this time the desired
success has crowned our efforts. il can only he
post poGed a few days longer. The retreat Of
Prince Mcnchikon with hi, army would amount
in fact to abandoning S"hiStop"l to its fate.
and though very little is certainly known of the
capabilities of the place for defence. we are at
least assured that the term fortress is very in
accurately app,i, d to it. and that it could not
olrra very prolonged resistance to the arms
OF the allies. The hope of the Russian General
would he. no doubt. to receive rcintOrccments
sufficient to enable him to advance and relieve
the town, but When we consider that 2O,O 900 adj ,
,iiipnal troops. including a strong force of ca
va!rv, must already have joined the allied com
maudcrs. we may feel satisfied that they will |
give an excellent account of whatever hostile |
army may be brought to interrupt their opera |,
