FALL SEBA POL!.

In our paper of yesterday afternoon, we pub
lished telegraphic dispatch announcing T" the
fall of Sebastopol." The account, sbbre.
waited, was unsatisfactory as to particulars;
there being a feverish anxiety in the commu,
nifty to learn the important details.
The steamer Washington, from Bremen, via
Southampton, which arrived at New York yes
Europe, announcing the fall of Sebsstopol,
which took place On the sth instant. In ad-
ditiOn to our last dispatch, the following will
prove Of interest to our readers:
PLAN OF THE BATTLE.
The plan of the battle appears to have been
as follows The place was attacked in four
directions. The British troops attempted the
storming of the Redan; the French attacked
the Malakof; the extreme right of the French
made diversion on the little Redan, and
united attack of the English, French, and
Sardinians was made on the central battery
All the attacks were made simultaneously
with great spirit and energy; but one which
was eminently successful was led by General
Bosquet and General Mcmahon on the Mala-
kof. Both the Redan and Central bastion
were at times in the hands of the storming par
ties. So accurately did the guns of the Rus.

CAPTURE OF THE MALAKOFF.
The Paris MOniteur has the following dis
patch:
The assault was made at noon on the Sth,
when its redoubts and those of the Redan of
Careening Bay were carried by storm, amidst
shouts Of ViUe LIZ Emperor. We immedi-
ately occupied ourselves in lodging there, and
succeeded in doing so at the Malakoff but
the Redan of Careening Bay was not tenable,
poured in upon the first occupiers of that work.
On beholding our eagles floating On the Mala-
kof, Gen. De Sallas made two attacks on the
central bastion, both of which, however, were
unsuccessful, our loss in tie meantime being
heavy

GORrscHAKoFP's ACCOUNT.
SEBASrOP0L, Sept. Q.-The enemy receives
constantly reinforcements of fresh troops, and
the bombardment is fercely violent The gar.
ris0n of Sebastopol, after sustaining an infer
nal fire, repulsed six assaults, but could not
drive the enemy from the Korniloff Bastion.
Our brave troops, who resisted to the last
extremity. now crossing over to the northern
part of Sebastopol, the enemy found nothing
in the southern part but blood stained ruins.
On the 9th Of September, the passages of the
garrison from the southern to the northern part
was accomplished with extraordinary success,
our loss on that occasion being but 100. We
left, regret to say, nearly 500 grievously
wounded on the southern side.
THE TINES ON THE SUBJECT.
The London Times says the above result
enGs Inc siege Dut as the Russians are still
in full possession Of the northern part of Se-
bastopol, the assertion is somewhat premature
The French eagles once floating over the
Malakof, victory was half gained, and the
bombardment was continued with increased
impetuosity and ferceness. Having now the
south part Of the town within range, our NOR
tars opened an Internal FIRE, as Gortschakoff
calls it, on the doomed city, the effect of which
was that In short time the whole place was
in flames, and, owing to the Russians ex.
ploding their mines, II was literally reduced
