the Russians decided to evacuate the place,
after having destroyed and blown up by
mines. Having passed with my troops, can
assure you that everything in the Carrabel-
maya il blown up, and from what ] can see
the same must be tho case in the front of our
attack. This immense success reflects the
highest honor on our troops. Everything Is
quiet ia Schernaya accounts.
LoNrox, Sept. 10, II 1.2 A M.-1he Paris
correspondence says it 10 reported 1000 men
had embarked at Balaklava for the north of Sc
bastoroi, and that the Russians we're in full re-
treat towards Perskor.
The Paris Deba,s had an editorial discussion
whether Ssbastopo is tensble by tho Allies,
while the Russians are holding the fort on the
north side, fronting the sea, ard ascerta,ning
that il is quite tena'ie.
The possession of Fl. Chers 'lese and Balak-
lava supercedlng the necessity Of entering the
harhor.
The Russian army will probably continue IN
some movements. Hence all specnlatinns as 10
the plan Of campaign must be imaginary.
