The following dispatch has been received
via Hamburg.
ST. PErERsDURG, Sept. 26.-Prince Gorcha-
koff reports, under date of 23d inst, that
/" The Allies had landed 10000 men at Eupa-
toria, and that he Uhe Allies) has now $4,000
men on the Russian flank. Yesterday the
Allies attacked our infantry. who retreated to
the heights over Rusta."
Another dispatch from st. Petersburg Sept.
28th, says :" Prince Gorchakoff reports,
under date of Goth, that on the previous day
$4,000 of the enemy had debouched from
Eupatoria, and occupied the neighboring VIII
lagos on the left flank"
The Cossacks had taken twenty-five prison.
ers, who were foraging at Kertsch.
SEvAsropoL, Sept. 18th. The Russians are
fortifying the north part, and are constructing
new batteries. The French are advancing their
cavalry, and column Of infantry toward
Bakshiserai by the Baidar Road.
Sevastopol is to be raized and the basins
filed up.
A fearful tempest has occurred at Sevasto-
pol accompanied by heavy rain.
On Sept 18th, Prince Gorchakof. reports
from Sevastopol, that The Allies have at
tempted nothing yet on the north side. The
enemy is concentrating his forces between the
Balacava andthe Tchernaya, and constantly
reconuoiers our left wing"
The Allies are actually preparing for
campaign. From three to four hundreds eser-
tiers, most of them Poles, nave arrived at the
Allied Comp They relate that the demoral-
zation Of the Russian army was most CON-
plete, and that such was the conclusion from
the first moment Of the attack that the sold
iers. exhausted with fatigue, remained twenty
+ four hours without provisions. The loss of
the Russians is estimated at $4,000 men.
f A correspondent oil the Paris Patric, under
date &C Sept 26th says Ever since their
retreat tho Russians have continued to FIRE
shells at us, and it would be mistake to sup
pose that our armies in Sevastopol are beyond
range of the enemy's batteries on the North
. ern shore and on the plateau. The balls from
!, Fort Constantine reach beyond Strelitzka Bay,
!; and they can very easily throw their projec-
g tiles into the town. As to the batteries Of the
) other forts, some of the guns in them are SO
# powerful that they can carry shot right over
:. the town and do execution in the advanced
1t siege works. but although the Russian FIRE
4 does not cease, it is not very active.
The Artillery and Engineers in Sevastopol
l. are everywhere at work. Fort St. Nicholas,
rs which was left almost intact, has been forth
J. fed, and its cannon already replies to the enc
! my. Any attempt of the Russians to return
i'd to the place is wholly out of the question.
Az The Grand Duke Constantine arrived at
ne Nicoaef on the Goth.
ng 1t was said the Gar himself would shortly
visit Nicolaef to superintend the winter Cri-
~ mean campaign.
~ A letter from Berlin, dated 23d, says
Various circumstances at St. Petersburg
seem to indicate that Prince Gorchakoff will
be soon evacuate the forts to the north of Sevas-
ng topol those forts being only strategic points,
but great preparations are being made by the
y. Russians for winter campaign"
- The Russiaa Treasury has received large
il. If sums of money through Berlin. English war
TX material was constantly passing through Prus-
vn STA for the army.

O. stantinope, intended for Asia, had been sent
OF to Eupatoria.
