We copy from the Baltimore american
The following synopsis of The news brough,
by the steamer Washington las, Thursday:
Sevas,"p"l has ut Ias. fallen before ,he
determined assaults Of tho allies. The long
continuance Of the siege end The heretofore
srui'less attempts Of The allies he'd settled
nlmos. into conviction the opinion that the
Russian stronghold was impregnable, and
the announcement that il has now fallen,
when ihst event had almost ceased to be
looked for, falls " i,h startling suddenness
upon The public car. The achievement is
an impor,sni one 10 the allies end has cos.
them heavily. Three days bombsrdmen,
were necessary tn subdue the Russian fire,
and SIX repulses-one before The Malsknff
and five before The Redsn-weIe encounter
ed before The allied coIors were successful
" planted on The Russisn works. The Ioss
10 terrible If there is no exsggera,ion. Fiji
teen thousand French and The came number
81 Englsh-,hir,y thousand in sII-sre re
ported killed and wounded. When the
email number Of The English before Sevas-
topol is isken into consideration, their loss
is tremendous and GU, Of oil proportion 10
that of the French, who in sll probability
must hsve had three times The number Of
men engaged. The accounts indicate tina,
after blowing up their defences on the South
eide, sinking all their ships and firing The
houses, leaving TO the c"nquerors nothing
bu, smouldering ruins, the Russian garrison
passed over to the forts on the Nor'h side,
whilst another portion Of the forces retreat
ed inland, pursued by large allied force.
The result. Of this triumph, il improved
by vigorous measures, can hardly fail fnsl-
~ 10 pu, the allies in possession of the
whole Of the Crimes, snd thus secure 10
them one Of the "ms.eriaI guarantees" ,bs,
was songh, in the prosecution Of the war
Though severe blow TO Russia i, csnno,
BY any means be considered fatal one
The Cfimea is too far from the heart Of Rus
sia 10 make its loss decisive Of the contest,
and The allies can scarcely carry on their
operations through The isthmus Of Perekop
wi,hou, exposing themselves to oil the dan
gers and disadvantages that have affected
Ru.ris in holding Seves,opo. Blu. their
triumph will remove ihs, great eyesoIe TO
English and French pride, Sevastopol, and
pu, them in possession Of RICH province
shat cen be held as a reward OF their valor
or as an inducemeni in bringing Russia to
terms. Il the allies succeed In The capture
81 Odessa and in driving the Russians ,hro'
Perekop, the Crimea will be easily held, and
the wave Of war will mex, year break with
full force over The Czsr's Baltic provinces.
The further movements Of the allies in The
C,imea will however depend very material
~ upon the ability of the Russians to hold
she forts on the North side 10 which they
had re,tea,ed. If these forts prove ss strong
as some accounts have represented Them,
she allies may only have finished one siege
to commence another. The triumph o! the
sllies had occa>ioned grea, rejoicing in EGG
land and France.
The notable poin. in the general intelli
gence is another at,emp, 10 asssssinate Louis
Nspoleon, hich ended, as ususl, in fail
ure, the Emperor's empty carriage receiving
the only damage done BY The would be as
ssssin's balls. Aus.ris is reported to have
Offered Denmark her mediation in settling
the question of the Sound Dues with the
American government.
