HISTORICAL CHRONICLE.

FOREIGN NEWS.

France.-On Saturday, Sept. 8, the Emperor visited the Italian Opera. As the carriage of the dames d'honneur arrived at the doorway, a man on the trottoir discharged two small pistols at the carriage. No one was injured. The Emperor was in another carriage behind. The assassin was immediately arrested. His name is Bellemarre, a native of Rouen, aged 22. He was three years in prison for publishing a work called "Condemnation of Louis Napoleon," but was released in February last. His mind is supposed to be affected. The Empress was not at the theatre.

The Crimea. The stronghold of the Crimea is at length in possession of the Allies. After a defence of eleven months, conducted, it must be admitted, with remarkable ability, and sustained with unflagging energy, the enemy have abandoned the city of Sebastopol, and established themselves for the present in the forts on the north side of the harbour. The French and English batteries opened the fire of the final attack at daybreak on the 5th Sept. The bombardment was conntinued all that day and the next without slackening. On the night between the 5th and 6th a Russian two-decker was set on fire by a shell, and burnt to the water-edge. On the afternoon of the 7th, another Russian frigate was set on fire and destroyed. A great explosion was heard from the Russian works about midnight, supposed to have been a magazine on the north side. On the morning of the 8th a great fire was observed to be burning about the middle of the town. It was arranged that at 12 o'clock on that day the French columns of assault were to leave their trenches, and take possession of the Malakhoff and adjacent works. After their success had been assured and they were fairly established, the Redan was to be assaulted by the English; the Bastion, Central, and Quarantine Forts, on the left, were simultaneously to be attacked by the French. At the hour appointed our allies quitted their trenches, entered and carried the apparently impregnable defences of the Malakhoff with that impetuous valour which characterises the French attack, and, having once obtained possession, they were never dislodged. The assault was led by General Bosquet, at the head of General M'Mahon's divi

sion, with the Zouaves of the Guard as a reserve. The tri-colour planted on the parapet of the Malakhoff was the signal for the general advance. In pursuance of the arrangements made by Lieut.-Gen. Sir W. Codrington, commanding the Light Division of the British army, and of Lieut.Gen. Markham, commanding the Second Division, the assaulting column to be directed against the Redan was selected from these two corps, which have borne so very large a portion of the sufferings and losses of the campaign, and have covered the regiments belonging to them with incomparable distinction. The column consisted of 1,000 men, preceded by a covering party of 200 men and a ladder party of 320.

The French flag was no sooner displayed on the Malakhoff than our storming party issued from their trenches and assailed the salient angle of the Redan, but the enemy were by that time prepared to meet them, and as the supporting party advanced a heavy fire of grape and canister was opened on them, in spite of a brisk fire kept up from our batteries on all parts of the Redan not assailed, as well as on the flanking batteries. After maintaining the footing they had gained for nearly an hour, our troops were obliged to retire, the killed and wounded left on the ground sufficiently testifying how gallantly they had fought. The French attacks on the Careening Bay Redan, and on the Central Bastion, proved also unsuccessful. The Highland Brigade occupied the advanced trenches in order to form the second assault, but Gen. Simpson determined to defer it till the morrow. About 11 o'clock p.m. the enemy commenced exploding their magazines; and Sir Colin Campbell, having ordered a small party to advance cautiously to examine the Redan, found the work abandoned; he did not, however, deem it necessary to occupy it until daylight. The evacuation of the town by the enemy was made manifest during the night. Great fires appeared in every part, accompanied by large explosions, under the cover of which the enemy succeeded in withdrawing their troops to the north side by means of the raft-bridge recently constructed, and which they afterwards disconnected and conveyed to the other side. The morning's light showed how successful and complete had been the victory gained by the allied

forces. The enemy had evacuated all their positions on the south side of the harbour; the town, Fort Nicholai, Fort Paul, and the dockyard were in flames, and their six remaining ships-of-the-line had been sunk at their moorings, leaving afloat no more than two dismasted corvettes and nine steamers, most of which were very small. Such was the fate of the Russian Black Sea fleet, on which the Imperial Government had expended incalculable sums of money and incessant labour-that fleet which two years ago threatened the very existence of the Turkish empire, but whose solitary naval achievement was the atrocious outrage upon a far inferior force at Sinope. Of the authors of that nefarious attack what remains? The Emperor Nicholas sleeps in the vaults of St. Peter and St. Paul. The admirals who commanded and the crews who fought on that occasion have most of them fallen in the batteries of Sebastopol. The very ships for which Russia contended at the conferences of Vienna as essential to her dignity and power are torn plank from plank, and scattered upon the waves. The dockyard and arsenal are in possession of the Allies; and the remaining stores are much larger than was anticipated. No less than 4,000 cannon have been found, of which at least 50 are of brass. Others were thrown into the roadstead at the time of the retreat. Already 200,000 kilogrammes of powder had been taken away by the storekeepers, and there was still more to be found. The number of projectiles will exceed 100,000. The boisterous weather rendered it impossible for the Admirals of the allied fleets to fulfil their intention of bringing their broadsides to bear upon the Quarantine Batteries during the assault; but an excellent effect was produced by the animated and well-directed fire of their mortar vessels stationed in the bay of Strelitska, those of Her Majesty being under the direction of Captain Wilcox, of the Odin, and Capt. Digby, of the R. M. Artillery. The loss of men by the allies is great. The French had 1634 killed, 4513 wounded, 1410 missing, total 7557. Of officers killed, 5 generals, 24 superior officers, and 116 subalterns. The British loss was, killed 385, wounded 1886, missing 179, total 2447.

The vessels of the Allies destroyed in the Sea of Azoff, between the 6th and 11th of September, five fisheries on the coast of Semviank, and 68 in the lakes and rivers of the neighbouring coast; they burnt 31 storehouses, containing nets or provisions, and 98 boats laden with provender and other provisions.

Kamschatka.-The allied fleets, con

sisting of eight ships and steamers, arrived off Petropaulovski, the Russian naval arsenal in Kamschatka, on the 15th May, and found that the whole of the garrison had made their escape in the Russian frigates Aurora and Dwina, which, availing themselves of a dense fog on the 17th of April, and eluding the British frigates Barracouta and Encounter, which for a long time had been blockading the fort, had repaired to the Russian settlement at the mouth of the Amoor River, which separates the Russian possessions from China.

India.-An insurrection has broken out with the Santhals, a predatory tribe belonging to the hill country to the south of Bengal. These people, although known to be freebooters by disposition as well as by practice when opportunity serves, have been, nevertheless, employed in considerable numbers as labourers in the valleys of the Ganges. Between Colgong and Rajmahal the rebels are said to have destroyed no less than 150 villages. Several hundreds of square miles, once studded with indigo factories and flourishing villages, have been for three weeks completely at the mercy of the savages; both factories and villages have been sacked and burnt; the inhabitants have been driven to find in precipitate flight alone an escape from violent death, and corpses of men, women, and children, are met with all over the country cruelly mutilated. The names of six Europeans only are given with certainty as having fallen by the hands of the rebels. Of these two were ladies, who were travelling on the road, and were among the first victims of the outbreak. The loss of native life must be immense. The head of the insurrection is one Sindoo Mangee, and one of his proclamations states that the Santhals have been oppressed by the Bengalee money lenders who had settled in their hills, and also by the Amlahs, or native officers of our Government, from whom they could obtain no redress.

The opening of the Madras Railway is an event of real importance to the future of India. Fifty-four miles of railway are now ready for traffic, and 70 miles more of embankments are nearly completed. A comparatively short period will now suffice to connect the eastern and western coasts of the peninsula.

Mexico. The revolution against Santa Anna has been crowned with success, and the Dictator is once more a fugitive, having fled to the Havana. A provisional government was formed, with General Garrela as president. The liberty of the press is ordained.
