ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA


by the Africa ia detail, but we can give
all that is interesting in a condensed form
The news brought by the Baltic, (and
which we had in type before the receipt
Of The Africa 81 Of the fal! of Sevastopol
is stated to be utterly false. Dates as
late as the 30;!i Sept. from Constantine
pie, say:
The allied srmifs established tl.eir
forces at B-lakiava OH the morning Of the
25!h and we've preparing 10 march imme.
diately uron Sevas;opol The vessels of
war were in port at Balaklava, where
they have facilities for dsemb barking bat
;ery trains.
/, is stated lha, Menschikofr. is in the
( field Hith 90. 600 men. aud expecting re
Inducements.
The Publications OF Anap1 have been
burned by the Russians. and its garrison
are marching to the scene OF action
The French Am ba ssador at Vienna tel
egraphS as follows:
VIENNA. 4.h.-The intelligence said
to have been brought to Bucharest 20
Omer Pacha is con,radicted. 1t is an ex
aggeration Of the battle of the Alma"
The Austrian Consul telegraphs thus
The struggle recommended on the 25th,
an! continued unin;er:uptedly ill the
9th. When the courier left. the allies
were on the river Albeck 10 miles from
Sevastopol. On the 27th, Omer Pacha
ordered part of his army TO be ready for
embarkation Cor the Crimea.'
I Austria in!inlates that she will con
slider the Cars prolonged refusal of the
! four conditions as a caSus 6slIi.
LATER.-The allies occupy Balaklava
are in communication with their fleets,
and command the approaches to SevaS,o-
pol, which may be considered invested.
1t is doubtfuliy rumored that the second
line Of defence is carried.
A dispatch from Paris States that the
Russian entertainments on the Brl5eck
were carried after a third battle. and the
allied Generals were preparing to lay siege
to Sevas;orol in regular form.
On the 30,h September. the Russian
Ambassador at Vienna received intelli-
gence that two forts had been taken; but
whether they were merely advance forts
or near Sevastopol, is not known.
The Independence publishes the follow
ing dispatch:
BERLIN. Oct. 2l.-A dispatch from
MenschkoT, dated Sept. Goth. 10 the En-
reror of Russia. announces that the
Prince. with the troops under his com.
mand. moved without opposition from
the position which he occupied before
Sevaslopol on the road TO Bskschiserai,
where he was TO unite with the reinforce :
ments brought by the Hetman Homcouloff,
who was coming from Perekop. The al
hes had not attempted anything against
Sevastopol on the Goth. and every meas
ure had been adopted for the defence OF
the place.
Ii is suggested that the ab,ve dispatch
is wrongly dated. and that the movement
of Menschikof was in allusion 10 his nd
vance to Alma.
A dispatch published in the C,logue
Gazette admits that a dispatch has been
received via Moscow. stating that, on the
20,h. tho Russian force, after sanguinary
conflict. wns retiring 10 Sevas,opol.
The details Of the battle of Alma could
not be announced before tho 9th. owing
to the non arrival of dispatches. Gen.
Borei was killed. The Russians number
ed 40 600 and had 100 guns. Letters
from vienna, the I'd. state reliably, that
the reserves OF the allies were not brought
into action. and Tho work was so well done
that the Russians never had chance. =
In the retreat Of the Russians, Menschi-
kof was chased by some chasselrs. ind
