The steamer City of Baltimore, from Liverpool, with Liverpool date to the 23d nit., arrived at this port at half-past nine o'clock this morning. The steamship Atia arrived out on the 10th, the Kedar on the 20th, the .Vora Scotian on the 21st, and tbe Etna on the 22d. The pirate Alabama, Captain Semmei, left Cherbourg on the 19th inst. to engage the United 8taUi steamer Kmrtaye, Captain John A. Win slow, and attacked her ten miles from Cher bourg. Tbe engagement lasted aa hour nnd forty minute. Both vessels made seven complete circles In manunvrlrig, at a distance of from a quarter to half a mile. The Alabama wai then nnk. The pirate Semme and hie crew were nearly all saved by the English yacht Dcerhound. Renimes was slightly wounded in the band. Nothing additional of moment has been re ceived of the Keartagc and Alabama fight. Tlie whereabouts of th Keartaje is doubtful. One rumor pluclng cr at Ostcnduud, and an olhir at Cherbourg. She landed soma wounded men at the latter place. Before going out, Semmes left all his chrono meters, sixty in nnmlier, with his specie and ransom bonds, at Cherbourg. It is confirmed that no one was killed on the A'sarM?,and only three sailors slightly wounded. Tbe vessel sostalncd very little Injury. Semmes declined a public dinner which was tendered him at Southampton, and went to Paris to report to the Confederate Commissioners. Three of the Alabama'i officers, aid six of her crew, Undid at Cherbourg from a French pilot- boat, and also several from tho liritlsh ship Action. Semmes publishes an account of the engage ment, lie says be bad nine killed and twenty-one wounded, and charges tlie Keartag with con tinued firing after ihe Alabama struck her flag, Tbe foilowlug is his extended report of the b ti tle between the gunboat AVouo s and the pirate Alabama : The encounter was witnesied by the English steam yacht Oeerhowut, and that vessel picked up Captain Semmes and the crew of the Alibama, and took them to Oowes, wbenec lie furnished the atiaix. On the morning of Sunday, the 19lh, at 10-30, the Alabama was observed steaming out of Cher bourg harbor toward tho steamur Keartagt. At 1110 tbe Alabama commenced the action by firing with her starboard battery, at a distance of about a mile. Tbe Kearsaje also opened fire immediately with her smriioi'd guus, and a tbarp tugtigcmeut with rapid tiling trom both ships was kept up, both shut mill soell being dis- i hinged. In niuiiu uvilug, both vessels made seven complete circles, at a dl.Unca of frois iuarti r to half a mile.

IIET KILLED AND WOUNDED 0ITICER3 Eront or KirNF.SAW Mountain, Go., June 27. An assault took place to-day along portions of our lines at several presumed weak places In the tncmy's fortifications. The armies had been cor Inn ting each other for several days without feri us fighting, and without mater I il cbungo In the lines. Kenetow Mount iln was the apex of Johnston's lines. His Hanks Isting repul-ed, his right wing bent back until it ran but little east of south. Tl.e nemy held stubbornly to the position, knowing that to yield any commanding point wr.uld give us Marietta, and compel bis retreat south of the Chattahoochee, lio n armies were in strong orks, the npimsite salient being so near in some places that skirmishers could not bo thrown out. The honr for the assault was I'ued for 8 o'clock this morning. Four brigades nf Ueneral Lo;an's Corps, New (on'tt ipivision of the 4tb Corps, anil Davis' Division of the 14th Corps, were selected to a uiu It the enemy's intreni hmrms at three dil fmnt points'. At the appointed time, Ueaoral Gik-s Smith's llrigade, aud General Llirht 1 urn's bilvade of Ueneral Morgsn L. Smith's Division, Waicott's lirigade of Harrow's Di vision, and detachments from Osrerhatis' Division, commanded by General R. Wooditll, of 'Logan's, assaulted the enemy's posi tion on Little Kenesaw, a commanding knob joining Dig Keuesiw nnthe Wesi, and euliladed by liHtterles and ril'r-pits on that moiintiiln. I.lghtbiirn held the right, Uiles Smith the centre nnd left, Woodall's command acting as a sup port. The assaulting brigade', four lines deep, advanced gallantlyiu three columns, moving on the enemy's works uu Little Kenesaw, right, left, and centre. Tie Hebe! skirmishers were captured almost to a man by the rapid onset, some of them lighting till they were killed, refusing to sur render. The progress of tho storming column was greatly delayed by the swampy nature of the ground end the tang'ed green-lirier uuder growth through which portions of it were com- iicllcd bi grope their way. I'pon reaching tbe mse of the knob tbe lines were hastily reformed, the rnimyiniUe meantime opening a terrible lire In front of muskeirv and ar tilery, and un enlilaclng lire from liig Kenesaw. The hiigailea of Llghtburn and Wolcott found It Impossible to gain the crest of tho lull, and a'ter a biinl etlort, ss heroic as it was hopeless, fell back lo the point occupied by the enemy's kirmisliers in the nio-nlHg. The brigade of (Jiles Smith a'Urked the bill In the tecU of a tremendous lire, and on reaching the crest the enemy was found posted in a second line of urot g works, from bicb a murderous tirei-sued. 'I he lirigude found it impossible to bol l ihe crest, and fell back slowly, keeping the pursuers at l ay. Some fifty t-r sixty of the men belonging to this bilrace look refuge b -biml a led'e of rorks, within xint-blunk rauce ot the enemy's Vioiks, and theie they were compelled 10 reisain until n ghiliill.

Skirmishers udvauced rapidly until tliuy en loiint. red a very dilllcult abiittis, througli which, however, they lloundered, capturing tbe slight trenches on the enemy's skirmish linu vt tb little loss. The brigade of Mct'ook and Mitchell moved rapidly towards the enemy's rsiiin line, a strong lunate being immediately in (heir fiont, without fullering, under a very dcs. tiuclivc lire of musketry and grape.' Portions of these l.ohlo brigades reached tho ditch un J at tempted to seulu the parapet.
