not able to resist the impetuosity of the attack made by the allied armies. But the success, as I stated to you yesterday, was greatly aided by a revolt of the I*oles who wer j in the Russian service, and vvtio fortunately formed a main portion of the garrison of the Fort dv Nord. The number of Russians killed on this occasion was no less (as you are aware) than 18,000 killed and wounded, and upvvar Is of 20.000 prisoners. At the same time that this great attack was proceeding, Fort Constantine was successfully attacked by sea as well as by land. The fort was taken, and six of the Russian ships of the line were sunk in the outer harbour by the fire from our ships, ft was then that Prince Menschikoff retired with the remaining shipping to the inner port, where, according to the latest accounts, he was allowed six hours to deliberate whether he would surrender at discretion or blow himself and the fleet up together. According to the latest accounts, he was disposed to adopt the latter alternative; but it is probable that six hours' calm counsel would have induced him to alter his determination.

The Cousttiutionel gives the following particulars of the battle of Alma: — ult has been seen by the despatch of Marshal de St. Arnaud with what impetu >sity the position of the Alma was carried. We now give from private information some details on that important affair. The Russians had kept their ground for several hours; they had even obtained an advantage over the English in a charge of cavalry, when the latter, seconded by their dragoons, recovered their advantage. During that time the Russian entrenchmpnts were carried at the bayonet, and the overthrow of the Russians had become a suave gui peut. But this victory could not have been gained without our suffering sensible losses. The General of Brigade, Thomasson, who has been recently promoted to that" rank, is spoken of as being dangerously wounded. It is added that General Canrobert has received a slight wound, and that Prince Napoleon has had a horse killed under him. INow, if we endeavour to comprehend what followed, we must not forget that the field of the battle of Al »a was situated scarcely more than five leagues from Sebastopol, and it may be presumed that our troops, pushing the Russians V6pke dans les reins, may have penetrated at the same time with them the first lines of defence on the side of the Fort dv Nord. This fort itself, vigorously attacked, will not have been able to resist, especially if the diversion occasioned by the revolt of the Poles be admitted, while the combined fleets must themselves have lent powerful assistance in attacking Fort Constantine, which completes the defence of the coast. These two points occupied, all was at an end ; and W in fact Prince Menschikoff has retired, as is stated, into the inner port, comman led as it is on all sides, he can only capitulate or blow himself up for all serious resistance is impossible."

The following telegraphic despatches have been received here to-day : " Hamburg, Sunday, Oct. ]. "Admiral Parseval Desch'eues, who has arrived at Kiel, has ordered the scattered ships of his fleet to join him there. The officers assume that the French squalron is going again to join Admiral Napier in the Baltic."

A London Gazette Extraordinary, dated September 30, contains a copy of »*the following telegraphic despatch from Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe to the Earl of Clarendon, dated Constantinople, and transmitted by her Majesty's Consul General at Belgrade, under date September 30, seven a.m. — " The entrenched camp of the Russians, containing 50,000 men, with a numerous artillery and cavalry, on the heights of the Alma, was attacked on the 24th instant, at one p.m., by the Allied Troops, and came I by the bayonet at hali'-past ttiree, with a loss on our side ol about 1,400 killed and wounded, and an equal loss on the M«le 6f the French. The Russian at my was forced to put itself in full retreat*
