week IS that from The seat Of war -
The details, as ielegraphed 70 Cinein-
natl last Friday. appear in ibis paper.
The information is so direct and SO
particular in its character, that, not
withsta7ding before reported hoaxes.
we entertain no doubt Of its substantial
correctness, The siege had been Sc
long procrastinated. and the allies
have been so unsuccessful in most Of
their undertakings, that not an incon'
siderable number Of people in this
country and Europe believed the place
would never be taken-that il was ab.
solutely imprsgnable to- the efforts o.
the allies, The. news, therefore, o.
their success and of the carrying the
fortress by storm, under the cireum-
stances, viii create the most profound
sensation. II is a terrible blow to the
power Of Russia in all the aspects ir
which ID can be viewed. That nation
has not received so great a check since
Napoleon destroyed one Of the finest
armies at the battle o: Austeriltz, in
1895. The Notifications of the place
had costs the Russians more than
&c. 100000 ~ sterling. and il was ia
great maratimc depot in the BLACK
Sea. from which II menaced the indie.
pendence Of Turkey. Along with
the forts, the Russians lose their Blacl
Sea feet, which includeda large nun
Der Of ships Of the line aud frigates. Z
It's moral effects, however, will be
the most disastrous to the cause O
Russia. and will give the allies n great
predominance in all the Cabinets Of
Europe, who will be alarmed by then
power and success. II will prop uT
and strengthen the throne Of the
French Emperor, and give him almost
as complete an asccndeney over the
minds Of The. people as was enjoyed BY
his world-renowned uncle. The fall
of Sebasiopol ayenges the retreat from
Moscow, a historical "Reminiscences
which has long been treasured up il
every Frcnchman's heart, and ranked
there. Austria now. anxiousto joir
the stronger side. will probably give
in her adhesion to the allies. Still i
is very doubtful, in our judgement
whether this event does not make
peace further of than ever. 81 +
The allies will be rendered
arrogant and dictatorial BY success
while Russia will sullenly return int
her inaccessible country, and from
there bid defiance TO her foes, wh'
win hardly dare march an army int
the heart Of her vast plains. Although
sebastopol has fallen. its defence ha
been most glorious and honorable e
Russia. The cost in men and treasure
to England and France has been i'm

one hundred thousand English ant

The resources Of both the Westerl
powers have been probationary strain
ed in tho enterprise. The place ha
cost them most dearly. Their militia
ny counsels have by no means beer
characterized by the display o
great martial tact and genius. Had tn
| fortress been assailed, and an atiemp
made to carry itby force last October
after the battle Of the Alma, i would
doubtless. have succeeded, and all tn
terrible loss since been prevented
The FINAL assault, in its carnage an'
severity, must have been dreadful
judging from the telegraphic ascoant
published in another column. Tn
slaughter Is eqaal to the bloodies
battles of the great Napolean. ~
