I On the 8th iust, the allied forces attack j cd tho defences of Sebastopol, and tho j French succeeded in gaining possession j of the Malakoff. Thc English, who at tempted the Redan, wcro not successful. During the night, the Russians began to sink their ships, blowup their magazines, and burn their city, and on thc following ; morning Sebastopol was evacuated, and ! the communication between the north fort ; and tho town broken off. j The following telegraphic despatch, rc J ceived by Lord Panmure from General , Simpson, appeared in the English morn ! ing journals of the 11th instant : "Scbas . topol is in possession of the Allies. The enemy, during the night and morning, e I vacuated the south side, after exploding i their magazines and setting fire to the whole of tbe town. All the men-of-war were burnt during the night, with the ex ception "of three eteamers, which were plying about the harbor. The bridge communicating with the north side is broken." Gen. Simpson regrets that tho casualties in the attempt on the Redan were somewhat heavy, but there wa3 no general officer killed. In a supplement of the Moniteur the1 following telegraphic despatch, received by tlie French government from General Pelissier, appears: Karabelnaia, the south part of Sebastopol, no longer exists. The enemy, perceiving our solid occupation of thc Malakoff, decided upon consuming the place after having destroyed aud blown up by mines nearly all the defences. Having passed the night in thc midst of my troops, I can assure you that every thing in the Karabelnaia i3 blown up, and ; from what I could see, the same must be the case in front of our left line of attack! j This immense success does the greatest ; honor to our troops. Everything is quiet on the Tchernaya. I The assault on the Malakoff was at , noon of Sth inst. The redoubts and the" i Redan, of Careening bay were carried by ' storm by the French soldiers, with ad- mirable intrepidity to tbe shouts of Yive j l'Empereur. The Redan of Careening j bay was not tenable, owing to the heavy" fire of artillery which was poured upon ; the first occupiers of that work. On be ! holding the French eagles floating on tho Malakoff, Gen. dc Sulles made two attacks , on thc Central Bastion, but did not suc , ceed. The French troops returned to their trenches. The losses were serious. ! The plan of the battle appears to have been as follows : The place was attack in four directions. Tbe British troops ; attempted the storming of the Redan; the j French attacked the Malakoff. The ex , treme right of tho French made a diver sion on the little Redan, and a united at tack of the English, French, and Sardin ians wa3 made on the Central Battery. All thc attacks were made simultaneously j with great spirit and energy; but tbe ono f which was most eminently successful, was jled by Gen. Bosquet and Gen. M'Mahorp 'on the Malakoff. Both the Redan and Central Bastion were at times in tbe hands ! of tho storming parties, but so accurately did tho guns of the Russians cover these, ( that as soon as the English had gained possession of them it was found impossi ble to hold them. The following despatch is from Prince Gortscbakoff, and is dated the night of tho . 9th. The garrison of Sebastopol, after 'sustaining an infernal fire, repulsed his ! assaults, but did not drive tbe enemy from j the Malakoff Tower. Our brave troops, ! who resisted to thc last extremity, aro j now crossing over to tho nothern part of ; Sebastopol. Tho enemy found nothing m the southern part but blood stained ruins. On thc 9th of September the pas sage to the northern side was accomplish ed, with the loss of 100 men. We loft, I regret to say, 600 men previously wound ed, on the southern side. The intelligence of the fall of Sebasto pol was received iu London with demon strations of great joy. At the various theatres and places of public amusement, and thc bands at each place immediately played the national anthems of England and France, and throughout England tho demonstrations wore general. Tho English loss in tho assault on tho' Redan is estimated at 2000 killed and wounded.
