In supplement Of the Moniteur The iol-
lowing telegraphic despatch, received by the
French government from Gen. Pelissier ap-
pears: Karabslnaia, the south part OF Sebas-
topol, no longer exists. The enemy. psrceiv-
ing our solid occupation Of the Malakoff, de-
cided upon consuming the place after having
destroyed and blown up by mines nearly all
the dsfences. Having passed the night IN
the midst of my troops, can assure you that
everything in the Karabelnaia is blown up,
and from what could see, the sane must be
the case in front of our lett line of attack
This immense success does the greatest hon.
or TO our troops Everything is quiet on the
Tchemaya.
The assault on the Malakoff was at noon
of the 9Th INST. The redoubts and The Redan
OF Careening bay were carried by storm by
the French soldiers, with admirable intrepid
ity 10 the shouts of Vive pEmpereur. The
Redan Of Careening bay was not tenable,
owing 10 the heavy fire Of artillery which was
poured upon the first oceupiers OF that work.
On beholding the French eagles floating on
the Malakof, Gen. de Sulles made two at
tacks on the Central Bastion, bu, did not sue
ceed. The French Troops returned to their
trenches The losses was serious.
The plan of the battle appears to have been
as follows The place was attacked in four
directions. The British troops attempted the
s,orming of the Redan; the French altac ked
the Malakof. The extreme right of the
French made diversion oil the little Redal.
and united attack of the English, French
and Sardinians was made on the Central Bat
terry. All the attacks were made simultane-
ously with great spirit and energy but the
one which was most eminenily successful,
was led by Gen. Bosquet aud M'Mahon on
the Malakof Both line Redan and Central
Bastion were al times in the hands of the
storming parties, but so accurately did the
guns of the Russians cover these, that as
soon as the English had gained possession
Of them il was found impossible 10 hold
them.
The following despatch is from Prince
Gorieschakoff and is dated the night of the
9th. "The garrison Of Sebastopol, after sus-
tanning an Internal fire, repulsed its assa us,
but did not drive the enemy from the Mala.
