Allies Success Before SeYastOpOI.
By the Balie, We have the official &C.
counts Of-lhs late engagement before se-
tastOpol on the 9th. 7tb, 9Th and 9th Of
June.
Gen. Pelissier's frst dispatches are quite
dramatic:
'June 8, 10 P, M-To-day, with our
Allies, We opened ERE against the external
works. and tO-mOrrow, please God, we will
take theml"
"June z. IL P. 4.-At $50 our signals
for assault we're given, and one hour after-
ward our eagles aoated over the Mamelon
Vert and over the two redoubts Of Carsen-
lng BAY. The artillery of the enemy fell
into our hands We have taken AGO pris-
oners. Our legions occupy the conquered
works. On their side, four Allies,) with
their usual resolution, carried the works in
the quarTies and established themselves
there. All the troops showed the most ad-
mirabie devotion and intrepidity"
sJune 9.-Last evening we took posses
sion Of 62 guns in the captured redouts.
Thirteen officers were made prisoners
Our loss, which has not been accurately as
certained, is considerable, as might have
been expected from so great a result.
"June 9.-The situation is the same as
yesterday. All the demonstration of the
enemy against the captured works have
been fruitless. They have abandoned the
so-called battery Of the ID of MAY; they
have also completely abandoned to US the
right shore Of Careening Bay. The vessels
in port have sought refuge in Artillery Bay,
where our large mortaTs can reach them
We are watching them aitentively."
Lord Ra2lan's dispatch we have already
received via Halifax, as foews:
Before Sevsstopol, June The formid-
able Ere yesterday was keP! up to-day With
the greatest spirit, aud sooH after O'Clock
this evening the French attacked and car
Tied the white work and the Mamelon.-
The whole operation was most brilliant
Great gallantry was displayed on all sides.
Casuslties not yet kuoWu."
His next dispatch was as follows:
June s.-The success of las! night was
very complete. aud the gallan;ry and stead
iness Of the troops cannot be too highly
spoken Of. The French succeeded in Sc
curing the works Of the Mamelon and those
on its right called the '0uvrages blancs,'
and in those they took G2 guns including
cohorns and 400 prisoners Nothing could
be more brilliant than the advance Of our
allies. We have lost 400 men in killed aud
wounded"
Later accounts state that the British loss
was IL officers. killed, namely: Col Shear
man; Majors Bayley and Dixon; Captains
Miller, Foster, Corbett, Wray; Leuteu-
ants Lawrence, Stone, Machell, Lowry;
$50 private men killed, $40 wounded, and
Is missing. 1t is singular that Lord Rag
Ian omits to mention how the British were
engaged, or If they we're engaged at ALL
Gen. Pelissier's dispatch informs US that
his English allies carried the rife works in
the quarry.
Pelissier's latest dispatches are:
'Juns 10, IL: 80 P. M.-The combat of
the 9TH was more advantageous for us than
at FIRST announced. 1t placed in our
hands 502 prisoners, (of whom 90 are Off
eers) and 73 pieces of cannon"
'June II, IL P. M.-We are consolida-
ting ourselves in the new works We have
been able to FIRE with the Russian mortars
on their ships, which have gone still fur
tber eff We are preparing new batteries.
(Signed) PELIssIER"

douts Ksmtschatks, Selenghirsk and Vol
