noon of the 9Th, the whole disposable force of
the besiegiGg armies moved forward in four
fold attack The extreme right of the French
attack was directed against the Little Redan,
which they carried, but had to abandon from
fierce charge of the Russians. The second
and principal assault of the French was
against the MalakoH, which, after six re.
pulses they carried by storm, and decided the
fate of the day. A third attack, made by
the British against the Great Redan, com

gaining a temporary possession of a salient
angle of the works. they were speedily driven
back, and the British loss is numbered at 1000

IL, p. M-From Gen. Simpson 1.-The allied
forces attacked the defences of Sevastopol this
day at II clock. The assault OH the Mala.
koF has been successful, and the work is IN

TarnG, Sept. 9.-From Gen. Pelissier-''The
assault on the Malakotf was made at noon of
Saturday. lis redoubts and the Redan of the
Careening Bay were occupied by our brave
soldiers with admirable enthusiasm, to the
cry of 'Vive 10 Empereur.' We occupied
ourselves with endeayoring to secure our po-
sition, and succeeded in this object at the
Malakof.
The Redan on the side of the Careening
Bay could not be maintained in the face Of
powerful artillery, which overwhelmed the
first occupants Of that work, but which, how
ever, our firm settlement in the Malakoff will
speedily cause to succumb together with the
Redan, which our brave allies seized, attack.
ing it with their habitual vigor. But here, as
with our own troops on The side of Careening
Bay, our allies were compelled to cede their
works again to the powerful artillery and re-
serves Of the enemy.
Our losses are serious, and cannot yet be
precisely indicated. They are amply compen-
sative in the capture Of the Malakof, the con-
sequence of which will be immense.
Six hundred and fifty soldiers and twenty
seven officers we're taken prisoners in the NAL
akof.
EVACUATION OF THE SOUTHERN SIDE. Re
port from Gen. simpson" Sevastopol is in
possession Of the allies. The enemy, during
the night and this morning, evacuated tho
south side, exploding their imagining and set.
ting fre to the whole OF the town. All the
men-of-war were burnt during the night with
the exception of three steamers, which are
plying about the harbor, and the bridge COM
municatng with the north side is broken
down. Our casualties are great. During
tho night the Russians have sunk the rem aim
ing line of. battle ships in Seyastopol harbor.
BRANcHIER REDoUBT, Sept. 9--3 A. NJ
From Gen. Pelissier-" Karabelnai and the
south side Of Sevastopol no longer exist. The
enemy, perceiving our solid occupation Of the
Malakof decided upon eyacuating the place,
after having destroyed aud blown up by mines
nearly all the defences. Having passed the
night with most of my troops, can assure
you that everything in the Karabelnaia is
blown up,and from what could see the same
must be the case in our left line of attack.
This immense success does the greatest
honor to our troops. Our losses during the
day, after 80 many obstinate combats, must
be considerable. To morrow shall be able
TO form an estimate of the results OF this great
days work.
A great portion Of the honors are due to
Generals Bosquet and McMqhon everything
10 quiet on the Tchernaya, and we are vigil
liant there.
