0 ADVANCE ON PERlKOP..

The second edition of the Daily Nair: has the following:—-

HAMBUIXG, Friday.——A despatch from Prince Gortsclinkoff, dated the 9th instant, has been received at St. Petersburg. It as :

"The enemy has advanced from Eupa- toria, threatened Perekop, but retired on meeting the advanced posts ot'our lett flank.

The enemy put in disorder sixteen bat- talions from Kokouloussa to Janyssata.”

Rsriasiiinxr or THE Russi.ii\'s.—-Ac- cording to the Franlijbrl Post Zeilung, it is certain that the body ofthe Russian ur- my has been withdrawn from the plateau on the north side of Sebastopol towards the heights of the Belbec. Only a few thou- sand men now garrison the northern forts. In the neighbourhood of Nicholaiefl‘ some 45,000 men are concentrated, $28,000 of whom belong to the newly raised militia.

A Biirrisii Fi.r.i:'r sear TO THE Coxsr or I'ru.v.—I-Ier Majesty’s ships Rodney, Albion, London, Leander, and \\"asp, have received orders to proceed, under the coiii- maiid of Admiral Stopford, to the coiist of Italy. They will begin their mission, it is said, in the Bay of Naples.

Fll.!.ll\'G-UP 'riii-: TRENCHES.—A letter from Sebastopol, in the Marseilles Journal, says.—-“One of the orders which has been executed by the troops with the greatest

lcasure, is that of filling-up the trenches.”

t is stated. that the troops regard their prospects so favourably, that a great num- ber of the soldiers of the class of 18-17, who may now quit the service, do not wish to do so.

RBINPORCEMENTS riioiu l<‘iuxca.—Advi- ces from Marseilles, of the l0tli, state that the Minister of War was still using every exertion to reinforce the army in the Crimea.

Ruiuouns or A RUSSIAN LoAN.-~VisN- NA, Oct. 4.—Several bankers here give credence to the rumour, that Russia is con- tracting a loan in North America, and that the negotiations are nearly concluded.

I-nixei-: Gonrsciiixoi-‘r’s' REPORT on THE FALL or SEBASTOPOL.

We have now received the Russian Inralide, containing General Gortschakotlhi detailed report of the assault of the 8th. Prince Gortschakofl'says :—

"On the 17th ofAugust, the enemy open- ed from the side of Karabelnaia a very heavy and murderous cannonade, which lasted 20 days. Our loss during this pe- riod was, on the first day 1500 men; on the days following, 1000; and from the 22d August till the 5th of September, from 500 to 600 men every ‘.24 hours.

“On the 5th ofSeptember, the enemy continued the bombardment with redoubled force, and the cannonade was inconceiva- bly destructive, to such a degree that our fortifications were shaken by it along the whole line of defence. This infernal fire

cu d’eii/'er), principally directed against

t e einbrasures, proved that the enemy was endeavouring to dismount our guns, to de- molish our ramparts, and to prepare for taking the city by storm. It was no longer possible to repair the damage done to our works, and our efforts were limited to co- vering the powder magazines and the blind- ages with earth. The parapcts crumbled down and filled up the ravines; it was necessary to continue to clear the embra- sures, and the number ofartilli-rymcn killed was so great, that it was with dilliculty we could bring up others to take their place. Ourloss at this period of the siege was extraordinary; from the 5th to the 8th of September they were placed hors de coin- bat, superior officers, 4; subalterns, 47; and 3,917 soldiers, without reckoning the artillerymen who perished at their guns.”

After giving a description of the attack and capture of the Malakliofl‘, the report adds:-—

‘- The general loss ofthe garrison on the 8th ofSe tember was four superior officers. 55 subs terns, and 2,625 men, killed; wounded, 26 superior otlicers, 206 subal- terns, 5,826 men;'contused. 9 superior otlicers, 38 subalterns, l,l33 men; miss- ing, ‘.24 olliccrs and'l,7-39 men.”

HASZARIYS GA ZE1"l‘tu, OC'l‘OBER'27.

“ Atiiiid-day the English threw tlieni- sclvcs in loose order of battle, supported by strong reserves, upon the salient of Bastion No. 3. The \\"ladiinir Regiinent, driven ack at first, but afterwards supported by those of Kamtschatka and Ialiutsk (12 bat- talions), bore down on the cneniy with the bayonet, hurled over such ofthe English as had gained the rampart, and set tire to the fasciiies lining the checks of the einhra- sures. Lieutenant-geiieral l’an-loll‘, antici- pating a renewed attack of the enemy on Bastion No. 3,. strengthened himself by the Selinghinsk regiment, which stood in re- serve (thus making [6 battalions—-equal to about 8,000 men). The enemy renewed his attack on the salient, but was repulsed by the Seliiigliinsk reg' ent, iiiidei- Colo- nel Niensc-iizotf, who as killed during this attack. A third assault of the enemy was repulsed with the same success as the two preceding. A art ofthe enemy post- ed itselfin the ditch, where it opened a hot fire of inusketry. Forty-eiglit voluntei-rs ofthe V\'ladiinir regiment, under the coiii- mand oflflnsign l)ucroiviii, let themselves down into the ditch and drove out the Eiiglisli.” THE .\I.\G.\GZl.\'E UNDER THE RI£l).'ll\'.

The following is an extract of a letter from Sebastopol prolessiiig to show how the ht-d:iii escaped being blown up by the Russians like the other forts :—"A supper, who was exploring the batteries of the Rcdan just as the Russians were evaciiatiiig the town, discovoi-ed a rather large cable wlnch he cut in two by a blow ofan axe, and then called the attention ofthe ollicers to it. On further exauiination, it was found to be a thick metallic wire, covered with a coat- ing of gutta perclia. This wire led to it ver large powder magazine dug under the Redan, and the discover of which made the boldest tremble, when they thought of the frightful ex- plosion from which they liiid escaped.

Late st News!

(From lVilm¢i"s European Times.)

The detailed accounts from the seat of war come down to the 29th ult., the tele- graphic dcspatches to the llih inst‘. By the latter we learn, that on the evening 0 the 9th the allied llcets were before Odessa, and that the boiiibardment of the place was every moment expected to begin. Twelve or liftecii months back, when Odessa was lirst boinbardcd, a very nccdlers display of C],-"mncy was shown tn the (‘rlt‘lll_V. The military part of the town was iissuilcd, but the coinniercial or pacific portion of it was spared. This, iit the time, was regarded as the i'i-fiiieiiiciit of modern wiirfari-., and much ingenious writing was iiidiilgcd iii, to prove that we had iii:itci'ially advani-i-d on the barbaric practices ol our anci-.-tors. 'l‘lii~, response which the Russians lllittlc to allihis coiisidei-ation was eliai-actci-i.-tic,- that of tiring upon the crew of the Tiger when that iinfortiiiiate vessel run ashore on the {'“['|]\y,§ coast. ‘V0 hope lllltt the hom- bardineiit on this occasion will be rill-ctiiail, for if, last year, our ships-of-war had level- ed the place with the ground, it would have been the wisest policy. \Vlien nations :10 to war, humanity is a beggar-’s virtue, arid the work of extci'iiiinatioii ought to proceed as swiftly and cfl'cctivcl_v as possible. V\'e may probably be enabled to announce the I't'Sllll ofthis boinburdmcnt in a late edition.

-General Siinp.-‘on’s despatcli gives an ru-

conragiiig account of the state of alliiirs in Si-lnislopiil, “Large fatigue parties are daily einployi-d in the town dismantling and coiiveying timber and other iiiatcrials from lllt‘ ruins, and I hope to get a coiisiderable portion ofthe troops under cover before the bad weather. " In another paragraph Ge- neral Siinpsnii states that, the enemy had been firing into the town from the North forts, but very ineflicicntly, as only one man had been killed and another wounded Prince Gortscliakoff, upon whose despatch we commented last week, gave a iiieliiiiclio- ly picture of the state of atfairs in the city before the evacuation, but the Russian or- gan coininiiiiicatcs details which show still more fully the horrid carnage in the ranks of the enemy. It appears from these figures that the Russians lost during the last three weeks of the siege more than thiity-two thousand men. Aiioil.ier account is still more precise, and exhibits a still higher range of mortality. The ligures stand us:—

Young Mossy, borne along, endeavoured to disengage from the crowd. and stood almost alone, facing round frequently to the batteries, with head erect, and with a calm

proud, disdainful cyo. llundreds ofshot were aimed at him, and at last, when leading and climbing the ditch, lie was struck, and his thigh broken. Being theliist, he was of course left there. Now. listen to this. 1‘lie wounded around were groaning. and some even loudly crying out. A voice called out laiutly at tirst, loudly afterwaii-ds, -' Are you Queen Vietoriifs soldiers?” Some voices answered, ‘ I am! I am !’ ‘ 'l‘iicn,’ said the gallant boy, ‘ let us not shame ourselves; let us show those Russians that we can bear pain, as well as light like men.’ l‘licre was resileiice as of death, and more than

once he had it renewed by similar appeals. 'l‘lic

unqiiailing spirit of that be-ardless boy ruled all

aroun him. s evening came on, the Russians crept out of the lledan, and plundered some ol

the wounded, at the same time showing kind- ncss, and some cases giving water. Men, with

On the day ofthe assault, the number ofkil- lod wounded and missing exceeded eleven thousand. The Brussels correspondent of a Mancliester paper, coniineiiting on this terrible destruction of life adds,—“ The loss is equal to the full effective force offive and a-luilfcoi-ps d’armre, averaging the 16 battalions of. each division, at the liberal amount of 600 etfcctives, which average is, however, at least far beyond the numbers generally present under arms.”

No stronger proof can be adduced of the determination ofthe Allies to prosecute the war with vigor, than the fact, that the Com- mander of the Tiirkisli troops ciicamped on the Danube has received orders to provide provisions for 5,00 French troops, which may be looked for in Silistria by the end of the present month. France, at all events, is thoroughly in earnest about the war, and the energy than displayed appears to be re- acting on our Tllt'l(l.~‘l‘l coadjutnrs. Omar Pacha's corps, which was at llatoum at the date ofthe last advices. has received orders to advance to the relief of Kars, the garri- son ofwliicli, as we intimated last week, is reduced to considerable straits.

The accounts of the

condition ofthe Kare garrison arc painfully

distressing; the men are without an ade-

quate supply of food, clothing and ammuni- tion. The poor fellows, ‘too, it appcar,s have received no pay during the last two years,-—a state ol things by no means cal- culated to make men endure unheard-of priviitions and shed their blood like water. \‘Ve hope the relieving army under Omar Pacha may be enabled to change this state of things, and rescue the 10,000 brave fol. lows thus llt‘:7IllI(‘(.l in fioiii the miseries to which they have been too long exposed. Our distinguished couiitryiiian, at the head oftliis band of heroes, General Williams, has proved liimsell fully worthy of the post which he occupies.

It will be seen by the latest ‘intelligence that the allies are i‘idvancing on P_i.-rekop. Prince Gortscliakofl s dcspntcli, which does not coinmiinicate tiiucli iiiforinatioii, shows at least, that the allies arcin force in the vi- cinityoflflupatoi-in, and tliattliey are giving uneasiness to the cniiny in that quarter.

Never did ships meet with a more ignominious cnd—sunk by their own commanders, without the glory ofa fight!-the admiral killed, with an unenvi- able reputation attached to his memory!-- the crews shot down whilst working the guns of Sebastopol !—-this is a terrible blow for ‘ Holy Russia.’
