The Fail or Sebasfopoi.-The Russian city
If sebastopo after siege Of nearly twelve months,
and after conflict much sangulnary than any
that had sgnaaed the in the Crimea, has fallen
into the hands Of the combined forces Of the French
and English Prom last accounts the Russians s,ill
occupied the Nsh part ofthe City and the South when
captured was nothing than heap bloody ruins.
Whether this victory will terminate the war. or
whether il will only excite thcp aries still greater
ezcrlions, we are not prepared to say But be that
il may. the Allies have certainly accomplished the
great object Of their enterprise. They have wresied
from Russia fortress, defended by innumrrable hosts
Of her best disciplined soldiers They have ruined her
navy upon which she relied to secure her supremacy
in the Euxine, and thwatte dher long cherished de-
sire of extending her authority from the Caucasus TO

upon that colossaabric Of Russian uence hch has
