Prince Gortschakof telegraphs under
date the 23d September, that the Allies had
landed 10000 men at Eupatorlu, and had
10000 on the Russian flank.
On the 22d, the Allies attacked the Rus.
sian infantry, and the latter retreated to the
heights over Rusta.
Another despatch from Gortschakoff,
dated the 26th, states that on the previous
day $4,000 of the Allies had debouched
from Eupatoris, and occupied the neighbor.
ing villages on the left flank.
Tie Cossacks had taken IS prisoners

Dispatches from Sebastopol Of the 18th,
announce that the Russians were fortifying
themselves In the North part, and we're
constructing new batteries; and that the
French were advancing cavalry and col
umn Of infantry towards Backsh. Serai by
the Baidar road.
Sebsstopol is to be raised and the basins
filled up.
A fearful tempest had occurred at Sebas,
topol, with very heavy rains.
Gor,schakoff reported on the 18th that
the Allies had attempted nothing up to that
date on tho North side, but were concen-
,rating their forces between Balaklava and
the Tchernaya, and constantly reconnoitring
the left wing Of the Russians from the Bal
car Valley.
Letters from the camp mention that the
Allies were actively preparing for cam.
pnign.
From three to four hundred deserteis,
most Of them Poles, had arrived at the Al
lied camp. They stated that the demorali-
aation Of the Russian army was most com
plete, snd that shuch was the confusion
from,the first moment of the attack, that { Q
soldiers, exhausted with fatigue, remained
for "a hours without provisions. ..,. ...
The loss of the Russians is estimated at
eighteen thousand men.
The correspondent OF the Paris Patrie,
under date Sept. 26th, says =" Ever since
their retreat the Russians have continued
TO fire shells at US, and il would be a mis-
take to suppose that our armies in Sebas--
topol are beyond the range of enemy's ba.
teries on the Northern shore and on the
plateau. The balls from Fort Constantine
reach beyond Strelitzka Bay, and they can
very easily throw their ptoiectiles into the
town. As to the batteries of the oEer
forts. some oil the guns in them are so pow.
erful that they can carry shot right over
the town, and dc execution in the advance
siege works but although tho Russians
fire does not cease, it is not very active.
The artillery and engineers in Sebastopol
are everywhere at work. Fort St. Mich.
olas, which was left almost intact, has been
fortified, and its cannon already replies to
the enemy. Any attempt of the Russians
10 return TO the place is wholly ont Of the
question.
The Grand Duke Constantine arrived
at Ncalaeff on the Goth, and il was said the
Gar himself would shortly visit that place,
to superintcnd the winter Crimean cam
paign.
A letter from Berlin, dated 23d, says
Various circumstances at 81. Petersburg
seem to indicate that Prince Gortschakoff
will soon evacuate the forts to the North Of
Sebastopol, those forts icing only strate-
gical points, put great preparations are
making by the Russian FOR a winter cam
paign.
The Russian treasury has received large
sums Of money through Berlin. Esglish
war material is consequently passing
through Prussia for the army.
On the 18th of September, the Turkish
troops at Constantinople, intended for Asia
were sent to Eupatoria.
The Anglo-rukish contigent would 60
to Trebizonde, and be placed under Omar

siderable bodies of French troops had been
