FALL OF SEBAsTOPOL.

and Sebastodol, after siege Of eleven months
has fallen into the hands the enemy. There
can be no Tartar in the case this time. On
the 7th and 10th of September the telegraph
wires were constantly charged with the mess
ages Of Victory; and multiplied dispatches from
the military aud naval leaders on both sides
leave not the smallest room for incredulity. 1t
appears that on the 9Th the expected lombard
ment commenced on scale of unprecedented
magnitude. After three days incessant fire
the assault was made ON the 9th-the French
directing their efforts as before, against the
Malakoff and the English aiming at the Redan.
From the brief dispatches which we have re-
ceived,we gather that the French were repulsed
six times, and suffered loss which has been
estimated at 5000 men; they succeeded in the
end however, in establishing themselves in
the Malakoff on the night of the 9Th. Mean
while heEnglish had Jared differently on their
left. The Redan was carried with comparative
ease. But, after planting their flag on its
walls the British were attacked with such i'm
petuosity that they were forced to vacate the
wore. When the French took the Malakoff,
and maintained themselves there, the other
Notifications Of the karabelnaias suburb be-
came untenable Accordingly, during the
night of the 9th and 9th and on the morning
of the 10th, Prince Gortchakoff blew up all
the public buildings and ships and set fire to
every house that would burn and crossed over
to the north side. The allied troops though
occupying the line of defences from Careening
Bay to the Redan, had not yentured, it seems
to enter the suburb when the last accounts left;
as the whole city was ruined and every house
in it was either in flames or in ashes.
/ tits vet too soon to say as some of the allied
Journals have done that the Sebastopol drama
is PLAYED out. We have yet to learn how the
Russians will avail themselves of their position
on the north side. twill be remembered that
for some time we have heard of preparations
being made for retreat of the Russian army
to the star fort, showing that Gortchakoff was
not blind to the possibility of the capture of
Karabellnaia, and indicating that in the opinion
of the Russian chiefs its fall would not involve
the ruin of the army. Ii is possible that the
north fort may yet for some time defy the VIC
torious allies.
In supplement to the Moniteur the follow
ing despatch to the French Government from
Gen. Pellissier, appears:
Carabellnaia and the south part of Sebasto-
pol no longer exist. The evening preceding our
solid occupation of the Malakoff, the Russians
decided to evacuate the place after having de-
stroyed and blown it up by mines. Having
passed with my troops | can assure you that
everything in the Carabellnaia is blown up,
and from what can see the same must be the
case in the front of our attack This immense
success reflects the highest honor on our
troops. Everything is now quiet on the
Tehernaya.
Russian Acco,nt-The following dispatch
from Prince Gortschakoff is dated the 9th:
! The garrison of Sebastopol, after sustaining
six assaults from the enemy, we could not
drive off the enemy from the Malakof Our
brave troops fought to the last extremity, and
are now crossing over to the northern part
The enemy found nothing in the southern part
but blood stained ruins. On the 9th of Sep
TENDER the postage to the north side was made
with the loss of no men. We left, regret to
say 500 men previously wounded on the south
i ern side
Dispatches from the allied generals detail
important proceedings subsequent to the cap
ture of the south side of Sebastopol.
Pellissier describes the appliances for the
defenses as altogether beyond belief, and ex-
ceeding by far anything ever seen in the histo-
ry of war.
Gems. MacNIahon and Frocher are said to be
among the killed. and Gen. Bosquet either
killed or wounded.

London Sept l5-The Paris correspondence
says it is reported $4,000 men had embarked
at Balaklava for the north of Sebastopol and
the Russians were in full retreat toward
Perekop.
The Paris Debats has an editorial discuss
ing whether Sebastopol is tenalce by the allies
while the Russians are holding the fort on the
north side fronting the sea- and asserts it is
quite tenable.
The possession of Fort Chorsone and Balak-
lava superseding the necessity of entering the
harbor.
The Russian army will probably continue
in their strong position until the allies make
some movement hence.
