fire had been kept up Tor two days, the
Allies took possession Of the town, dock,
yards and public buildings, and the de
struction of the last Of the Russian feet
IN the harbor, was accomplished. Three
steamers alone remain.
The French carried MalakoF and sue
ceeded in retaining it On arriving at
the crest Of the Redan, the ladders we're
placed and the men Immediately stormed
the parapet of the Redan, and penetra-
ted into the salient angle 4 most de-
termined and bloody combat was here
maintained for nearly an hour, and tho
The greatest bravery was displayed, il
was impossible to maintain the position,
and the Russians retired to the north
side of Sebas'opol on the night Of the
Sth, over the raft bridge recently con-
structed for such an emergency, and
which they afterwards disconnected and
conveyed to the north side The bois-
ferrous weather rendered it altogether
| Impossible for the Admirals to fulfil their
intentions of bringing the broadsides OF
the Allied feet to bear upon the Quar-
anuno Battery.
RUSSIAN DocUMENrs.-The following
is the translation from the Journals of
St. Petersburgh. Official dispatches of
Prince Gorichakolf describing the furi-
Gus bombardment which preceded the
evacuation Of the south side, and the
evacuation itself:
September 8th, Noon.
The enemy received nearly every day
new reinforcements. The bombardment
continues with unexamplcd violence
Our loss has been more than $500 in
the last "a hours.
Ten O'Clock, A M-The troops of
his imperial Majesty have defended Sc,
ba,topol to the last extremity. 1t is i'm
possible to hold it any longer, on ac
count of the Internal fire which was
poured upon the town. The troops have
passed 10 the north side, after repelllng
SIX or seven assaults made by the enemy,
and it is only at the Kornilof that We
found It possible to expel them.
Crlmea, 0ept. II, E4Fcnlng.
We have blown up the greater part of
the southern Publications. The enemy
begins to appear there, and small groups
are seen amidst the ruins of the town.
We transferred to the north side all the
wounded who were remaining ia the
southern part In the attack of the Sth
we succeeded in taking possession Of one
superior officer, II subo dinates and 100
soldiers.
Paris, Wednesday.
a Geographic despatch from ST. Pc
tersburg brings the following:
Crimea, S pt. 10th.
Nothing new in the Crimea
Russian Loss.-Thc bombardment
lasted three and half days, so that the
Russian loss during that time, at the
rate cited by Prince Gortchakof, would
have been $3.50, placed hors de combat
before the assault, and by the artillery
projectles alone, tf the beseigers. The
Russian loss in defending the fortifca
,ions against the seven attacks of the
Sth may be very mod rately estimated
at 5000 more-a serious dIminution Of
the Russian force to be added to the re-
cent losses on the Tchernaya--a consid-
Grafton that would weigh when the ques-
ton of the withdral, such as the Prince
is said to have ordered, presented itself.
THE Russian YlEw-It is undenia-
be that the articles of the Nord Of the
Gar upon the capture of Sebastopol,
though they were only put in the French
papers to serve as theme for ridlcule
produced a powerful effect. They show
the probable policy and tactic of the
Russians.
They prove that the retreat to the
northern side of Sebastopol had for many
weeks been contemplated They indr-
cate that the new position in which the
Russians are placed, is net an unexpect-
ed one, and that they have suffered
nei her surprise nor disappointment
Nesselrode asserts over his own signa>
iure, that the Turks have lost 100, 900
men, the French 10000, and the En-
gish 60,0O0; that Russia viii fight till
She is exhausted; that her credit, even
in the countries with which she is at war,
remains undisturbed; that her commerce
both foreign and domestic, increases in
defiance of the blockade; that she has
Discovered the means Of assuming the
offensive towards the nation that is to
declare war She waits calmly and re-
signedly till propositions of peace be
made, that she can accept without belly
ing her history or dIshonoring her for
tune. The frontiers may be attacked
but her heart is still sonnd.
The rumor that the Russians were re-
treating on P,rokop, proves to be false;
and the Car, instead of calling for peace
as some Of the English journals supposed
he would, has declared his intention to
maintain to the last the dignity of the
Russian Empire The Russians are
now lodged on the north side, where
Fort Constantine, with llO guns, and
Fort Catherine with 100 each in three
tiers yet remain as effective means of
defence against an opposing force.
The Londo1 Post says the English
loss in the assault on the Redan, was five
to six hundred killed, and l400 wound
ed. including 14l officers.
