EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.

We extract the following telegraphic message* LordSßaglan's Despatch,&c, fromjtheP/iymoMf/i . Mail, Oct. 7th, kindly furnished to this paper by the Captain of the Royal Stuart. FALI4OF SEBASTOPOL CONTRADICTED. A placard was posted on the Bourse at Paris on Thursday, the sth of October, denying the truth of the intelligence as to the fall of Sebastopol, said to have been brought to Omer Pasha by a Tartar. This notification is as follows:—• Vienna, Oct. 4. The Minister of Fiunce to the Minister Fon Foreign Affairs. The intelligence said to have been brought by a Tartar to Bucharest is contradicted by further advices from that city. It was an exaggeration of the battle on the Alma, and we are still without later intelligence from Constantinople than the 24th. Paris, Thursday, Oct. 0. I hear it reported that the (now) "world-wide famous Tartar and the captain of the merchant" ship that touched at Varna were conspirators in the employ of a Greek firm, who speculated* —and, it seems, too successfully—upon the credulity of Government agents, to make a grand coxip on the different Bourses of Europe. The tenibl}' discouraging news placarded at the Bourse did not have such a disastrous effect upon the funds as might have been anticipated. The fall iv the Rente was only 75c, a fall amounting, it is true, within a quarter per cent, to the rise of 1 per cent r which took place when the fall of Sebastopol was announced and believed. The fall in railways was in proportion more considerable, several leading lines having declined lOfr. and 12fr. I learn, at the moment of closing my letter, that telegraphic despatches have been received to-day by Government, the contents of which are very far from favourable.

The Times, whose daily reports of the cirr citmstances connected with the supposed'lull of Sevastopol, tended so much to confkm public belief, says:— An olficial communication received yesterday by the Government from Constantinople ej^flSly supersedes the less authentic statenients*"vvlrich had been hailed with so much enthusiasm and so general a belief" during the last five day?. At another time it might be curious to enquire by what means a report, which is now shown to have been not only exaggerated but unfounded,, acquired such weight and consistency as to obtain the belief of ihe large majority of civilised Europe, including not only journalists and their readers, but men experenced in the movements of armies and statesmen at the head of

lary and incredulous Governments. Probably lie intense anxiety of the world to witness, and [possible to accelerate, the discomfitureof the lower of llussia, caused this intelligence to be lore greedily received than it deser/ed to be ; ut U was undoubtedly supported by corroboraoiisXs** frequent, and apparently so consistent latTtfotiud almost universal acceptaace. Our usiness is, however, to dismiss from ou;- minds ie erroneous impressions they have lately eceivad, and to form a more correct estimate of ur position from the offiei.il accounts which «trved yesterday, and have now been published, 'hese accounts are, iv our judgment, by no leans unsatisfactory, though the telegraphic lessage which contains them is obscure and efective ; for, although Sebastopol has not been ikeri by a coup de main with circumstances of lelodramatic brilliancy, the facts which are potively known to have occurred down to the vening of the 28tli of September are all f'avourble to the allied armies, and show the steady rogress of their operations. The Banshee was despatched from the Crilea to Constantinople on the evening of the Bth, but the message forwarded by Lord Stratjrd de Redcliffe on the 30ih strangely omits all leution of the events which must have occur-i-d between the 20lh and 28th. The result of lese .operations is, therefore, alone clearly nown to us, —namely, that on the morning of le latter day the allied armies established their ase of operations at Balaklava, and were pr2aring to march, without delay, against Sebasipol. Vessels of war, under the command of duairal Lyons, were in that port, and the mding of the siege train of the armies was oing on. This at once enables us to arrive at several iferences, which materially alter the view taken ' the operations. Balaklava. is a harbour on le south of the Crimea, situated in a direct line om Sebastopol, and 11 miles to the east of ape Cueronese. It is still, as it was described y Stnibo, a portus angusto tnlroilu, the mouth eing only 30 yards in width, but it will coniin 12 sail of the line. The site is one of the lost beautiful in the East, and it derives its line from the " Belle Chiave" of the Genoese, ho founded the little town at the bottom oC the aven, and built the fort on the adjoining cliff he port is formed by a deeo inlet or indenture i the rocks, with water sufficient to float the irgest ships in perfect security; it is eompleter protected from every wind, and may be regarded as a dock for all purposes of embarca- j ■uu. The occupation of this point is, therefore, ' ■n occurrence of the utmost advantage, for it j Rnables us to place part of the fleets and trun- j ■puns in complete shelter, to land stores and ■applies, to maintain an easy communication Kith Constantinople and Varna, and all this Vithin seven miles of the place we are about to ■ttack. The -.importance of the possession of Kich a port as Balaklava had not escaped the ■ttention of those officers who had first reconBoitred the coast of the Crimea; but the heights Which surround and protect it were then strongly ■coupied by the Russian force*, and it was foreRen that any attempt to land there in presence ||f the enemy might be defeated by the supeiiftity of his position. But those heights and (heir defences, whatever they may be, must now mp in possession of the ullied armies, since they Bached Balaklava from the north, and we jjfcerefore hold a secure port, which is at once jjjpcessible by sea and defensible by land. H The fact that the allied armies had reached jßalakliiva from the land side on or before the Horning of the 23th of September, proves to degßonstration that in the interval between the jj||ule of the Alma and their arrival on the Muthern coast, they had forced all the external Mies of defence round Sebastopol, and had jjjiiven back the Russians successively from the ■ma, the ICitcha, the Bslbek, and the TchergSu:t, which feeds tha harbour of Sebastopol: Hpd that they had crossed and occupied the |j||ights separating those valleys from the south|Kn coast. The form of the eastern coast of |ii|Htnr.i is not unlike that of the county of Pemppoke, nnd our readers in ly form a tolerable idea j«| the o;.»ev itions by supoo^rig that the allied |] ;i"ces landed in St. Bride's B iy, below St. U javid's, anil then m irehed to the coast near B enby. These Valleys or ravines in the Crimea P|e well wooded, abnunding1 in fruit and water, j fopled with flourishing villages, and easily I ipable of defence. The post-road from SebasP ip'»l ti» Bieksljisenti pisses al'>ng the Bdll>ek, must have formed the principal lino of com■nuuicutiou between the fortress aud the inte-

vior. Since, however, we know that the allied armies have reached Bilaklava, it is certain that'all these lines have been passed, and that these communications have been intercepted.. There is reason to believe, from a despatch received from Odessa, and dated the 29th of September, that several successive actions have taken place, especially on the 25th and 27th, and these dates probably correspond to the days on which the allies forced the lines of the Belbek, and the heights above B.ilaklava. The movement of the armies has thus precisely realized the plan we had indicated some days before, when we said they might advance across the whole promontory to the southern coast, and so invest the whole fortress. Prince Menschikoff has meanwhile been driven to the east of this line of operations, and it is worthy of observation that his army, which consisted of 50,000 men. on the Alma, is now said to.be reduced to 20,000. Indeed, so severely is the want of men felt by the Russian generals, that they are said to have burnt and abandoned Anapa, which is the key of the Circassian coast, in order to march the garrison of that place into the Crimea ; but this part of Lord Stratford's despatch appears to be at least questionable. Thus far then, we are arrived at a clear and we believe, correct conception of these operations down to the 23th, which must have been triumphantly successful to enable the allied armies in one week to defeat the enemy in a series of actions, and to drive him from several concentric positions of great natural strength, cutting off Prince Menschikoff and his army altogether from the fortress. It now remains to cou- j sider the nature of the movements which would necessarily follow, inasmuch*as we are told that ".the armies were preparing to march without delay upon Sebastopol." It was already known to us that considerable difference of opinion existed as to the proper mode of attacking this fortress, and that at least one engineer officer was clearly in favour of an attack from the south side. The chief argument in favour of the north side was, that as the landing was. to be effected there, it seemed more easy to open the attack on that quarter: but this difficulty lias been surmounted by landing the troops to the north of the place, aud the siege artillery to the south some days later. Neither does the mode of proceeding now adopted exclude the possibility of an attack on both sides of the harbour. For the present it is sufficient to know that there is no obstacle between the fortress and the armies ! about to assail it; for, as the armies have cros- [ sed the ridge between Sebistopol and Bahikli- ; vn, and driven the chief body of the enemy into ! the interior, it may be assumed that the high I ground in the rear of the place itself will not be occupied by any large body of Russian troops. Sebastopol is lv reality an open town in the rear, except in sa far as this deficiency in its defences lias been supplied by external fieldworks or detached forts, but it lus certainly no bastions or wall of cireutnvall.ition such as constitute a regularly fortified place, which can oppose a certain resistance to an army for a given number of days. The whole strength of Sebastopol lies in its'forts, aud these forts have undoubtedly baen calculated for defence by sea rather than'by land. Under these circumstances the proverbial military expression, " that a place invested is a place taken,*' may probably be applied with great justice. Sebastopol must now be effectually invested by land and sea, aud much m )re effectually tlrw if the attack had been begun on the northern side of^the harbour, leaving the south coast open for reinforcements or for retreat. The plan of the campaign, as we now more clearly understand it, indicates the hand of a master ; and, although the public have been disappointed in that sudden and un-looked-for triumph which they had been led to hope for, they will find that the end will be accomplished .with equal certaiulv by the more patient operations of regular warfare.

The Russians are said to hare sunk 12 line of battle ships at the mouth of the harbour. The statement that Russian ships previously tried to get out and were driven back is reported. Wounded men of the allies continue to be sent to Constantinople. REPORTED RUSSIAN REINFORCEMENTS. The Chronicle says that reports are stated to have been received by Greek Houses in the city of London from Odessa on Friday, to the effect that Generals Osten-Sucken and Luders had entered the Crimea at the bead of 40 battalions, beside the garrison of Odessa, 2J,000 strong. The inhabitants of Odessa have given a pledge that they wiil burn the place should it be attacked rather than allow it to fall in the hands of the allies.

Third Edition^ Saturday, 1 p.m. DEATH'OF MARSHAL ST. ABJf AUD. London, 12.30 p.m. A supplement of the London Gazette of Friday contains the following translation of the exact copy of a despatch received at the Foreign Office this morning (Saturday) :— Constantinople, Sept. 30, p.m. Marshal St. Arnaud is dead. His remains have just arrived on board the Bertholet, which is appointed to convey them to France. This vessel brings news from the Crimea up to the 29th, in the moruiusj. It was that Prince, JMenschikoff had returned to Sebastopol. The allies were on the point of commencing the siege. General Canrobert had succeeded to the command of the French army.

Fourth Edition, So.tU.rday, 7 p.m. The following u&spaUm has been transmitted by the Company's Intelligence Department, London :— THE CRIMEA. (From the Secoad Elitioa of the '•'Times." Vienna, Friday Evening. By accounts from our correspondent at Constantinople of the 23th, the allies passed the Kutscha without opposition. Sebastopol was to be attacked on the south side. The Russians sunk five ships of the Sine and two frigates on. the 24th, to render the entrance of the fort impassable.

Sixth and Extraordinary Edition, 3londai/, 10 p.m. Lokdux Gazette Extraobdixary, Sc-.n-day, Oct. 8, 1854. War Department, Oct. Bth, 8* o'clock, a.m. Major the Lord Burghersh arrived this morning with a Despatch from General the Lord Ra'^Uuu G. 0.8., to His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, of which the following is a copy : — Head Quarters, Katscha River, Sept. 23, 1554. Mr Lord Duke : I have the honour to inform your Grace, that the Allied troops attacked the position occupied by the Russian Army, behind the Alma, on the 20th inst.; and I have great satisfaction iv adding, that they succeeded fu less than three hours, iv driviug the enemy from every part of the ground which they had held in the mjiuing, aud iv establishing themselves upon it. The Eu^lUh and French armies moved out of their first encampment iv the Crimea on the 19th, aud bivoaueked for the night on the left bank of the Bulganae, the former having previously supported the advance of a part of the Eavl of Cardigan's brigade of Light Cavalry, which had the effect of inducing the enemy to move up v. large body of dragoons and Cossacks, with artillery. On this, the first occasion of the English encounteiiug the Russian force, it was impossible for nuy troops to exhibit movt^ steadiness, than did tins portion of her Majesty's cavalry. It fell back upon its supports with the most perfect regularity under the tire of the Artillery, which was quickly silenced by that of the batteries I caused to be brought into action. I Oar lass amounted to only four men wounded. The <lay's march had been mast wearisome, and, nmlJr a burning sun, the absence of water, until we reached thr. insignificant but welcome stream of the Bnlgauae, made it to be severely folu

Both armies moved towards the Alma the following; morning, and it was arranged that " Marshal''St. Arnaud should assail the euemy's left by crossing; the river at its junction with the sea, and immediately above it, and that the remainder of the French divisions should move up the heights in their front, wl.iist the English Army should attack the right and centre of the enemy's position. In order that the gallantry exhibited by her Majesty's troops, and the difficulties they had to msec raay be fairly estimated, I deem it right, even at the risk of being considered tedious, to endeavour to make your Grace acquainted with the position the Russians had taken up. It crossed the great road about two miles and a half from the sea, and is very strong by nature. The bold and almost precipitous range of heights, of from 350 to 400 feet, that from the sea closely borders the left bank of the river, here ceases and formed to their left, and turning thence round a great amphitheatre or wide valley, terminates at a salient pinnacle where their right rested, and whence the descent to the plain was more gradual. The front was about two miles in extent. Across the month of this great opening is a lower ridge at different heights, varying from 60 to 150"feet, parallel to the river, and at distances from it of from 600 to SOO yards. The river itself is generally Amiable for troops, but its banks are extremely rugged, and in most parts steep ; the willows along it had been cut down, in order to prevent them from affording cover to the attacking party, and in fact everything had been done to deprive an assailant of any species of shelter. In front of the position on the right bank, at about 200 yards from llie Alma,U the village of Bouloik, and near it a timber bridge, which had been partly destroyed by the enemy. The high pinnacle and ridge before alluded to was the key of the position, and consequently there the greatest preparations had been made for defence. .ITtlalf-way down the height, and across its front, was a trench of the extent of some hundred yards, to afford cover against an advance up the even slope of the hill. On the right and a little retired, was a powerful covered battery, armed with heavy guns, which flunked the whole of the right of the position. Artillery, at the same time, was posted at the points that best commanded the passage of the river and its approaches generally. O.» the slopes of these hills (funning a sort of (able land) were placed dense masses of the eneniy's infantry, whilst on the heights above was his great reserve, the whole amounting, it is supped, to bet-vesn 40,000 and 50,000"men. The combined armies advanced on the same alignment, her...Majesty's troops in contiguous double columns, with the front of two divisions covered-by light infantry, and a troop of horse artillery, the 2nd Division, under LieutenantGenera! Sir D* Lacy Evans, forming the ri-rht, and touching-the left of the 3rd division under Jiw Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon, and the Light-Division under Lieutenant-General Sir G^rge Brown, the left; the first being supported by the 3rd division, under Lieutenant-General Sir Richard England, and the last by the Ist 'division', commanded by Lieutenant-General his-Royal Highness the D,ike of Cambridge. The 4th Division, under Lieutenant-General Sir -George Cathcart, and the cavalry under -Uajor-General the Earl of Lucan. were held in reserve to protect the left fluik and rear against large bodies of the enemy's cavalry, which had been seen in those directions. O:i approaching to near the firs of the "tins, which soon became extremely formidable, the fvo leading divisions deployed into line, and advanced to attack the front," and the supporting divisions followed the movement. Hardiy had tins taken place, whan the: village of Bouliouk r.nniedtately opposite the centre, was fired by t.:ie enemy at all paints, creating a continuous blaze for 300 yard?, obscuring their position, and rendering a passage through it impracticable. Iv.';> regiments of Brigadier-General ■Adams' bugade, pare of Sir Do L-.cv Evans' 'Uivision, had, in consequence to pass the river at'ii.deep and <iifib:iH ford to the ri^ht under a sharp fire, whilst his first brigade, under AlajorGenerarpdimefalhtfr, an.l the remaining regiiii;;i:t of Brigadier-General Adams crossed'to ■The left of the conflagration, opposed by the enemy's artillery from the heights above, and pressed on towards the Jeit of t)i»jr position, with ■ tha-unmr-ft g.ill;«!)iry.ii!id stei'iiii ■-<. hi -tiie ln^uiwhiU, the Lijht Division, under

Sir Goor<*e Brown, efijcted the passage of the Alma in his immediate front. The banks of the river itself were, from their rugged and broken nature, most serious obstacles, and the vineyards, through which the troops had to pass, and the trees the enemy felled, created addititioiuil impediments, rendeiinq; every species of formation, under a galling (ire, nearly an impossibility. Lieutenant-Geneial Sir George Brown advanced against the enemy under great disadvantages. In this difficult operation he 'nevertheless persevered, and the Ist brigade, under Major General Codrington, succeeded in carrying a redoubt, materially aided by the judicious and steady manner in which Brigadier-General Buller moved on the left (lank, and by the advance of four companies of the lliue Brigade, under Major Norcott. who promises to be a distinguished officer of light troops. The heavy fire of grape and musketry, however, to which the troops were exposed, and the losses consequently sustained by the 7th, 23rd, and 33rd regiments, obliged this brigade partially to relinquish its hold. By this time, however, the Pake of Cambridge had succeeded in crossing the river, and had moved up in support, and a brilliant advance of the brigade of Foot Guards, under Major-rGeneral Bautinck, drove the enemy buck, and secured the final possession of the work. «,The Highland brigade, under Major-General Sir Colin Campbell, advanced iv admirable ordar and steadiness up the high ground to the left, and in co-operation with the Guards; and Major Pennefather's. brigade, which had been connected with the right of -the Light Division, forced the enemy completely to abandon the position they had taken such pains to secure and defend. The 95th regiment, immediately on the right of the Royal Fusiliers in the ..advance, suffered equally with that corps an immense loss. The aid of the R^yal Artillery in all these operations was most effectual. The exertions of the field officers and captains of troops and batteries to get the guns into action were unceasing, and the precision of their fire materially contributed to the great results of the day. Lieutenant-General Sir Richard England brought his division to the immediate support of the troops in advance, and Lieutenant-Gene-ral the Honourable Sir George Cathcart ;was actively engaged in watching the left flank, The nature of the ground did not admit of the employment of cavalry under the Earl of Lucan: but they succeeded in taking some prisoners at the close of the battle. In the detail^of these operations, which I have gone into as far a3 the space of a despatch would allow, your Grace will perceive that the services in which the general and other officers of the army were engaged, were of no ordinary character; and I have great pleasure in submitting them for your Grace's most favourable consideration. The mode in which Lieutenant-General Sir George Brown conducted his division under the most trying circumstances demands the expression of my wannest approbation. The fire to which his division was subjected, and the difficulties he had to contend against, affml linsnvill proof that his best euergies were applied to the successful discharge of his duty. I must speak in corresponding terms of Lieu-tenant-General Sir Dj Lacy Evans, who likewise conducted his division "to my perfect satisfaction, and exhibited equal coolness and judgment in carrying out a most difficult operation). His Ro/.-il Highnes-the Duke of Cambridge brought his division into action in support 'of the Light Division with great ability, and had for the first tune an opportunity of shewiii" the enemy his devotion to Her Majesty, and to the profession of which he is so distinguished a member. My best thanks arc due to Lieutenant-Gen-eral fc.r It. L iglaml, Lieutenant-General the lion. Sir Wge Cithcvrt, and Lieutenant-Gen-eral the L ,rl of Lucan, for their cordial assistance wherever it coidd be afl'mlcd ; nnl I feel Hinydmy especially to recommend to your Graces nuuee the distinguished conduct of Major-General IWiuck, Major-General Sir C..!in Campbell M.jor-Genernl P, ni)e fatber, Major-Gcmer.! Codnngton, Brig.ulicu-Genem Adams, and Brigadier General Boiler In the affair of the previous day, M.u-.r-Oeneral the Earl of Cardigan exhibited ''the tin kv perfect command.

The manner in which Brigadier-General Strang.vays directed the artillery, and exerted himself to bring it forward, met my entire satisfaction. Lieutenant-General Sir John Burgoyno was constantly by my side, and rendered mv, b/^jis counsel and a.lvice, the most valable ussisUv^ul; and the commanding Royal Engineer, Briga-dier-General Tylden, was always at hand to carry out any service I might direct him to undertake. I deeply regret to say that he has since fallen ■ a .victim to cholera, as has Major Wellssley, who was present in the afluir of the previous day, notwithstanding that he was then suuVriiv from serious illness. He had, during the illness of Major-General Lord de R is, acted for him in the most efficient manner. I cannot speak too highly of Brigadier-General Estcourt, Adjutant General, or oi' Brigadier-General Airey, who, in the short time he has conducted the duties of the Ciuarler-misler-General, has displayed tho greatest ability, as 'well as aptitude for. the office. I am much indebted to my military secretary Lieut. Crionel Steele, Mijor Lord Burghers!), and the officers of my personal staff, for the zeal, intelligence, and galhuuvy they all, without exception, displayed. Lieutenant Derrimnn, R.N., the commander of the Caradoc, accompanied-;me .during the whole of the operation, and rendered me an esseutial service, by a close observation of the enemy's which his practical eye enabled him accurately to watch. I lament to say that Lieutenant-Colonel Lagondie,:who was attached to m>- head quarters, by the Emperor of thu French, fell into tho [enemy's hands on the 19th, on hu return from Prince >{apoleou's division, where he had obligingly gone at my request, with a communication to his Imperial Highness. This misfortune is deeply regretted, both by myself and the officers of my personal stuii". '. The other oflicer placed with ma under similar 'circumstances, Major Yico, afforded me all the assistance in hi* power, sparing no exertion to be of use.. I cannot omit to make known to your Grace the cheerfulness with which the regimental officers of the army have submitted to most unusual privatious, My anxiety to bring into the country every cavalry and infantry soldier who was available, prevented ma from embarking their baggage animals, and those officers have with them at this moment nothing but what they can carry, and they, equally with the men, are without tents or covering of any kind. I have not heard a single murmur. All seemed impressed with the necessity of th-5 arr.ingamaut; and they feel, I trust, satisfied that I shall bring up thair bflt horses at the earliest moment. The conduct of the troops has been admirable. When it is considered that they have suffered severely from sickness during the last two months; that, s nee they landed in the Crimea, they have been exposed to the extremes of wet, cold, and heat; that tho daily toil to, provide themselves with water has been excessive, and that they have been pursued by cholera to tho very battle Held, 1 do .not go beyond tho truth in declaring that they merit the highest commendation. *; In the ardour of the attack (hoy forgot all thoy had endured, and displayed that high courage, that gallant spirit, for which the British soldier is ever distinguished; and under the heaviest (ire they maintained the same determination to conquer, as thoy ha:l exhibited before they went into action. I should be wanting i a : my duty, my Lord Duke, if I did not express to your Grace, in the most earnest manner, my deep fueling of gratitudo to the.ofllcers and mou of the Royal Navy for the invaluable assistance they afforded the Army oa this and on every occasion, where it could bs brought to bear upon our operations. They watched the progress of the day with the most intense anxbty ; and as the best way of evincing their participation iv our success, and their sympathy in the sufferings of the wounded, they never ceased, from tho close of tho battle till.wo left the ground this morning, to provide for tho sick and wounded, :uid to carry them down to the beach, a labour in which some of the officers even voluntorod to participate, an act which I shall uavvr coase to recollect with the wannest thankfulness. I mention no names, fearing I might omit somo who ought to be .spoken of; but none who woro awociatod with us, spared a:iy exertion thoy could apply toso sacred a duty. Sir JSdmoud Lyoiw, who had charge of the whole, was, as alway, most prominent in rendering assistance, and providing for emergencies. I enclose the return of killed and wounded. It is, I lament to say, very larga; but I hope, all circumstances considered, that it will be fultthat no life was umiacßSSarily exposed, and that such an advantage could not be achieved without a considerable sacrifice. I cannot venture to estimate thu amount of tho Russian loss. I baliuvo it to have been great, arid such is tho rnport in the country. ■ The nuinbar of prisoners win are not hurt is small, but tht* woundad amount to Bor 900. Two Gnnoral CKllcers, Major-Generals Karganoff and Sholtiinoff full into our hands. The former is very badly wounded. I will not attempt to describe tho movements of thtt . trenchantly: that will bo done by an abler hand; but it is due to them to say that thuir operations were ominoully successful, and that under tho guidance of thftir distinguished commander, Marshal St. Anmud, thay manifested the utmost gallantry, thu graatest ardour for the attack, and tlie high military rjimliUus lor which they are so famed. 1 his despatch will hu delivered to your Grace by JLijur Lord Uurghursh, who is capable ofaflordiug you the fuliost inform vtmn, and whom I l M g to n^om-.nSud t» your espa-ci-il notico. —I have, & c . .
