The Washingtons dates are to the 18th inst.
AS the fall of Sebastopol occurred on the 9Th,
her details are not so fun as those ofthe Ameri-
ca, which left Liverpoolon the 10th.
Throughout France and England the rejoicing
is immense. Public demonstrations were every
where organized on the instant, and in. London
lConsols went up to sd They declined again,
however, to 901s on the receipt of the intelii-
Igence that another attempt had been made on
the life of the Emperor of the French, Queen
Victoria has sent an address of thanks to her
army, and directs Gen. Simpson to congratu-
late Marshal Pelissier on his brilliant Victory.
Gen. Pelissier has been created Marshall of
France, and Paris completely illuminated, on
account of the victory.
A grand National re Deun was celebrated
at the Church Of Notre Dame--the Emperor
ATTENDING in person. ~
A Paris correspondent says Pelissier has tele-
graphed for instructions in case Gortschakoh
should ask to capitulate. The reply, as report
edsis in substance, that the Russians must sur
render at discretion, lay down their arms, and
give up all the fortified places in the Crimea
Including Odessa and all their munitions of wal
without doing any previous damage thereto
But Gortschakof has not yet asked fol
terms. 801
The tone of the English Press is of course
very excellent. The London journals, how
lever, lay great stress on the efforts ofthe French
and in fact give them nearly all the credit o
taking Sebastopol In the plain, modest Ian
guage of the British Chief ''tht
French succeeded in their main attack, while
I0ur attack failed"
The London Times urges, in its issue of the
18th inst, that nothing whatever should pre-
vent the Allied Generals from giving the mos
Vigorous and immediate effect to the great ad
vantage they have won. Beyond the time abso
llutely required for the removal of the wounded
mo ar1nistice should be conceded. To give the
campaign its full effect, It's success must now
be rendered absolute and complete. The Rus
slams are people who will deny to the last
that any advantage has been gained over them
and Prince Gortschakoff boasts in his account
even of this sanguinary defeat, that he was ex-
Itremely successful in carrying off his army.
i Fighting, as they are in closed lists without
the means of escape, the defeated Russian army
should be compelled to lay down its arms, o.
to fight a general action, which would crown
Z the series flour successes by still more de
Icisive victory. The Peninsula itself is besiegec
land well nigh invested by our fleets and armies
and if the command ola single road be lost
the whole line of retrench and the only line by
which supplies and communications can reaci
Z the Russians, is gone. Such we take to b
1.-THE relative position of the belligerents in thu
lCrimea, and with the means of action at tn
disposal of the French and English Generals
we have confident hopes of glorious result.
