NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-By the United
States mail steamship Washington, Capt.
Connolly, from Bremen and Southampton,
we receive English dispatches and news
papers to the lth inst She brings $50
passengers.
The steamship America arrived at Liv-
erpool oD the 9th inst.
The Washington brings the important
intelligence of the Fell Of SebaStQpoL :"
On the 6th lust, the allied forces attack
cd the dofences of Sebastopol, and the
French succeeded in gaining possession
of the Malakoff. The English, who at
tempted the Redan, were not successful.
During the night. the Russians began to
sink their ships, blow up their magazines,
and burn their city, and on the following
morning Sebastopol was evacuated, and
the communication between the north fort
and the town broken off.
/ The following telographic despatch, re-
ceived by Lord Panmure from General
Simpson, appeared in the English morn
/ ing journals OF the l lth instant: "Sebas-
topol is in possession of the Allies. The
enemy, during the night and morning, E.
vacuated the south side, after exploding
their magazines and setting fire to the
whole of the town. All the men-of-war
were burnt during the night, with the ex-
ception of three steamers, which were
plying about the harbor. The bridge
communicating with the north side is
broken" Gen. Simpson regrets that the
casualties in the attempt on the Redan
were somewhat heavy, but there was no
general officer killed.
In supplement of the Moniteur the
following telegraphic despatch. received
by the French government from General
Pelissier, appears: Karabelnaia, the south
part of Sebastopol, no longer exists. The
enemy, perceiving our solid occupation of
the Malakoff, decided upon consuming the
place after having destroyed and blown
up by mines nearly all the defences.--
Having passed the night in the midst of
my troops, can assure you that every
thing in the Karab elnaia is blown up, and
from what could see, the same must be
the case in front of our left line of attack!
| This immense success does the greatest
honor to our troops. Everything is quiet
on the Tchernaya.
The assault on the Malakoff was at
noon Of Sth inst. The redoubts and the
Redan, of Careening bay were carried by
storm by the French soldiers, with ad-
mirable intrepidity to the shouts of Viye
TEmpereur. The Redan of Careening
bay was not tenable, owing to the heavy
fire of artillery which was poured upon
the first occupiers of that work. On be-
holding the French eagles floating on the
Malakoff, Gen. dc Sulles made two attacks
on the Central Bastion, but did not sue
ceed. The French troops returned to
their trenches. The losses were serious.
The plan of the battle appears to have
been as follows The place was attack
in four directions. The British troops
attempted the storming of the Redan; the
French attacked the Malakoff. The ex-
treme right of the French made a diver
sion on the little RedaD, and united at
tack of the English, French, and Sardn-
ians was made oD the Central Battery
All the attacks were made simultaneously
with great spirit and energy; but the one
which was most eminently successful, was
led by Gen. Bosquet and Gen. M'Mahon
on the Malakoff Both the Redan and
Central Bastion were at 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 it was found impoSsi-
bic to hold them.
The following despatch is from Prince
Gortschakof, and is dated the night of the
9th. The garrison of Sebastopol, after
sustaining an Internal fire, repulsed hrs
assaults, but did not drive the enemy from
the Malakof Tower. Our brave troops,
who resisted to the last extremity, are
now crossing over to the nothern part of
Sebastopol. The enemy found nothing
in the southern part but blood stained
ruins. On the 9th of September the pas
sage to the northern side was accomplish
ed, with the loss of 100 men. We left, |
regret to say, 600 men previously wound
ed, on the southern side.
The intelligence of the fall of Sebasto-
pol was received in London with demon
stratiOns of great joy At the various
theatres and places Of public amusement,
and the bands at each place Immediately
PLAYED the national anthems of England
and France, and throughout Euglaud the
demonstrations were general.
The English loss in the assault on the
Redan is estimated at 5000 killed and
wounded.
