FRENCH GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT.
In supplement of the Moniteur, the follow
ing telegraphic despatch, received by the French
Government from Gen. Pelissier, appears:
Karabcli,aia and the south part Of Sehastopol
no longer exists,
The evening preceding our solid occupation
| of the Maiakof, decided upon evacuating the
place, after having destroyed and blown up by
mines, nearly all the defences.
| Having passed the night in the midst of my
troops, l can assure you that everything in the
Karabelnaia is blown up, and from what could
see, the same must be the casen front of our left
line of attack. This immense success does the
! greatest honor to troops. Everything is
quiet on the Tchernaya
THE ASSAULT ON THE MALAKoFF.
The assault on the Malakoff was made at noon
of the 9Th inst. It's redoubt and the Redan of
| Careening Bay were carried by storm by the
French soldiers, with admirable intrepidity, to
the shouts of Vive fEmpereur The Redan Of
Careening Bay was not tenable, owing to the hea-
| Wy fire of artillery which was poured upon the
| first occupiers of that work. On bcholding the
French eagles floating on the Malakoff, Gen. de
Tulles made two attacks on the central bastion,
but did not succeed. The French troops return
ed to their trenches. The losses were serious.
THE RUSSIAN ACCOUNT.
| The following despatch is from Prince Gorts-
chakoff and is dated the night of the 9th:
The garrison of Sebastopol, after sustaining an
/ Internal fire, repulsed six assaults, but could not
drive the enemy from the Malakoff Tower. Our
brave troops, who resisted to the last extremity,
are now crossing over to the northern part of Sc
bastopol The enemy found nothing in the south
ern part but blood-stained ruins. On the 9th
September the passage to the northern side was
accomplished with the loss of 100 men. We left,
l regrett to say, 500 meE previously wounded
on the Southern side.
| EFFECT OF THE NEWS.
| The intelligence of the fall of Scbastopol was
received in London with demonstrations of great
1joy. At the various theatres and places of pub
lie amusement the fact was officially announced
and the bands at each place Immediately played
the national anthems of England and France.
Throughout England the demonstrations were
general.
THE PLANS OF THE BATTLE.
From the London Mercantile Gazette, llM.
| The plan of the battle, of which the issue has
been so glorious, appears to have been as follows:
| The place was attacked in four directions
| The British troops attempted the storming of the
Redan; the French attacked the Malakotf; the
extreme right of the French made diversion on
/ the Little Redan; and united attack of the En-
glish, French and Sandman was made on the
Central Battery. All these attacks appear to have
peeh H"uC simultaneously r-i.l. swat spi.t uJ
energy; but the one which was eminenty sue
cessful, and eventually decided the fate of the
! Nj 'Mahon, on the Malakoff
| Both the Redan and the Central Bastlon were
| at times, III possession of our stormine parties
but so accurately did the guns of the enemy COW
er these works, that as soon as we had gained
possession of them, and the Russians had retrea-
ted, the fire which opened upon our men was so
murderous that it was found impossible TO hold
that position which we had so gloriously won.
The French eagles once floating over the Ma
lakoff, the victory was halt gained and the bonn
bardlnent was continued with increased impctu-
osity and fierceness. Having now the Southern
part OF the town within range of our mortars, an
infernal fire. as Prince Gortschakoff calls it
was opened ON the doomed city, the effect (which
was that in short time the whole place was i'm
flames, and, owing to the Russians exploding
their mines, literally reduced to ashes.
(From the London Tiines)
Demonstration i'll London
The Park guns were fired in the presence of an
unusually large assenlblage of spectators, who
watched the preparations and listened to the fir.
ing OF the salute IN profound silence. Scarcely
had the last gun been fired, however, before one |
general shout of exultation arose from the crowd,
winch lasted Tor some minutes, and was accompa-
MED by the waving of handkerchefs and the !
throwing up of hats. This cheering demonstra-
ton of feeling was evidently spontaneous, and |
came straight from the hearts of the people act
ing on their own impulse, and not tutored and
4cu ny any Ieauer or lUSIcman.
