LATEST.
LONDON, Sept. 10-11 A. NJ.
The Paris correspondence says it is re-
ported % 900 men had embarked at Balak-
lava for the north of Sebastopol and that the
Russians were in full retreat towards Pere-
kop. st.. ~.
The Paris DeLats had an editorial, discus
sing whether Sebastopol is tenable by the
Allies while the Russians are holding the
fort on the north side, fronting the sea, and
asserting that it is quite tenable. SRI.
1t was rumored to-day that the Allies
found 1000 guns within the wall of Sebasto-
pol. Also that the Russians were falling
back ON Backstazeri, french rumors say Gorts-
chof will certainly hold the north side of
Sebastopol to the last extremity, also that
the allied admirals had sent dispatch say
ing it is not expedient to enter the harbor of
Sebastopol until Fort Constantine is silenced.
Probably the Allies will attack fort Con-
stantine and Artillery bay.
The possession of Fort Chorsono and Ba-
laklava superseded the necessity of entering
the harbor. The Russian army will proba-
bly, continue in their strong possession 1.-THE
Work Forty until the allies make some
movements; hence all speculations as to the
plan of the campaign must be imaginary.
THE BALrIc.-A Dispatch from Dantzic,
on the l4th inst, says: "The blockade
ships are expected to be ordered home on
Monday next"
Prince Frederick of Prussia is visiting the
Queen.
The London Times suggests the celebra-
ton of day of Thanksgiving on account of
the fall of Sebastopol.
