O ) To-notoom—Mersing. 416 4h. 10.• LONDON,FRIDAY, Wan will the Allis. do next P has been the ques tion on every tongue sines the fall of SebestopoL We had last night the good fortune to furnish in a special edition an answer to this inquiry. The generals of the Allied Armies, which Russian journals assure us are besieged and hemmed in by Prince Gottr• CIIAXOPTII troops, have felt that they could soave. niently spare a large number of men from before Sebastopol to reinforce the corps at Eupatoria. The fact indicated from several sources as probable is now simultaneously announced from Constanti nople and St. Petersburg. Prince GORTCILIMOFF in forms his muter, who has gone to meet bad news, that a reinforcement of 20,000 troops of the Allies had landed at Eupatoria, and that the division there, raised to a strength of 30,000 men, bad attacked the Rend= infantry, " which retreated over the heights of Resta. " Whether these words oonosal the serious defeat of a Russiin corps, or sufficiently describe a preliminary operation, is reserved for future accounts to tell. The engagement took plus on Saturday last, so that not muck time could have been lost after the disembarkation of the troops. Sufficient data for judging of the precise plan of the Allied Generals are wanting. The important essa to which the possession of Espateris e aknatei es conveniently for menacing the communientiMMeir tttis Russian army, may be applied are ovarian, user nixed; but the strength of the Allied terse theft es estimated by Prince GOITCHAZOIT, is at mast Oft smell for their development, and we shall not be sefe. prised to learn that the 30,000 men of whom he speaks are the pioneers of a larger corps. We abstain,however, from premature speculation. and are for the present content to note theoudinal fact that the AUied Generals, lot enplaning in a mere possession of Sebastopol, pumas their advantage, and act offensively against the enemy. They have as aim, a resolve, and a plan, which is already in executkm. Evert amidst the uproar of victory it may not be unprofitable to out a glance at the past. True we have destroyed Sebastopol—all, at least, that gave terror to that name : and indeed the very magnitude d the catastrophe, and the difficulties in the way ef Ma accomplishment, seem to furnish an ample justifies. don of our policy. Before the campaign opened, and whilst it proceeded, what oscillations in public opinion—at one moment Russian power proclaimed a bugbear, at another proclaimed invincible ! After the siege of Silistria and the battle of the Alms, the Russia* soldier and the Russian officer were the theme of almost scorn and contempt. Alter the flask march to Balakiava, and the measures of the Russians adopted for their defence, increasing, as they did, in vigour with their increasing difficul ties, they became the object of as extravagant ad miration. Now, however, we trust that neither Mr. COBDEN nor any other man will dream of crumpling up the Russian empire like a scrap of paper) nor will any reasonable individual—much less an English statesman—lower himself, as Mr. GLADSTONE did, by false exaggeration of his country's dangers, or bid us fall upon our knees for deliverance from the hands of the enemy. The Russian power is not a bugbear, neither is it invincible. To sober-minded men this was always apparent; to the most incredu lous it is now equally obvious. Nor, indeed, are wit nesses wanting to prove the truth of both assertions. Ask any one of those gallant men who on the dawn of that memorable Sunday stood, smeared with glorious dust, on the blood-stained ramparts of Sebas topol, amid the crash and devastation of a burning city and • sinking fleet, gazing through that curtain of fire which debarred the cooquerori from pur suing those vanquished columns as they defiled, with sullen tread, across that bridge of boats from the lines they had held with such noble devotion— ask, we say, any of those men whether a Power which can command the lives of such soldiers is a Power to be treated with indifferenseP And, on the other hand, what shall be NM of the men who dared snoocesfully to meet snob $ foe—who had the peneverieg courage to enders the rigours of • Crimean winter, set, amid hunger and cold, through sleeping nights and watchful days, to execute miles of trenches, and that in a rocky soil, till they almost touched the very guns of the besieged—to arm them with mortars and with cannon of such number and calibre as have never been known in war, and finally to assault with sitcoms a system of bastions and entrenchments behind which there stood au army of some forty thoosand men--w exploit unparalleled in history? Let any men ask himself whether statesmen such as Lord JOHN Ruser.u. and Mr. GLADSTONE, who seemed to doubt the ability of the Western Powers to curb the ambition of the East, are states men who formed anything like • just intim& of the might which they knew not bow to wkM P Doubtless, the Rossi** nation is great, but it is mg, nocontroliable. And that Ran mast be blind who,havisg observed the history of the last yesr,yet questions the energy of the Russian Government and the power at its disposal. Is it not the truth that, notwithstanding the blockade of all their ports, that succeeded in feeding not lees than four great armies, sod in keeping three empires at bay P To doubt the designs of the late CZAR is of coarse impossible ; and now, having learnt the energy and ambition of the Russian character, it new equally impossible to doubt that bad not those designs been checked, they would surely have been pot into execu tion. And bow would the pesos of the world be neared, if the Czaa were enthroned ea the Bospho rus? Happily, the infatuation of NICHOLAS precipi tated the catastrophe. Happily, tke position of the European Powers was the very ravens of that in which the Eitrzaoa expected to find this t for be expected to find them disunited, whereas be fossil them united. The result has been his signal overarm& Russian power is the Black Sea is for fibs puma annihilated, and its prestige throughout the But be and England are united by the ' seems. this happy result, we , what would have been had pease been concluded taken. In vain might in all the languages of the mirth the stipulation framed to curb' the Russian power. Russia would have pointed to the essibised armies of England sod of France essapelled to ovseuate her sacred tordteries. la vain the philosophic statesman might have proved by ingesioss arguments the value of the stipulations obtained for the security of the Turkish Empire and the future peace of the world. The rough soldier and the man of blunt sense would have said, and said with troth, the fleets and armies of the two greatest empires in the world, having genie to conquer Sebas topol, were compelled to retire, their design unto somplished. It is impossible to define prestige, or to measure its effects. Nations not less than individuals mast accept it as a feet, and bow to its influence. Bat it is impossible to doubt that the permanent with drawal of the alhed forces from before Sebastopol would bare been a fatal step. Such an act would certainly have been misoonstrned—and we may rest assured the emissaries of Rosie would have aimed no paius to encourage that misconstruction ; and every petty state with whom our Government might have come in contact would have been encouraged to insolence which would have oompelled us to a con stant exhibition of our power. Whoreu this incon venience, grievous se it is, must sow be endured not by us but by Russia. Knowing, moreover, as we do, the passion for military glory which inflames our French allies, it is not hard to speculate upon the consequences which would probably have followed if the 100,000 men now glorified by the conquest of the Malskhoff had re turned to France with nothing to emblazon on their banners but patience under privation and the fruitless victories of Alma and of lokermano. Nor, indeed, can we fail to see that under circumstances such as thess the cordiality of feeling which now happily subsists might, amidst the irritating discus sions incident to a complicated treaty, have given place to angry disputes and speedy discord. It is well, therefore, that the shortsighted policy of the diplomatists of France and England at Vienna was swept aside by more resolute and profound plans; for we verily believe that, had this not been so, instead of the echoing peal of glad triumph with which city answers city, from the Straits of Dover to the Northern Atlantic, we should have heard nothing now but the threatening murmurs of a discontented people.

LETTER PROM MISS NIGHTINGALE. LATEST NEWS FROM ABROAD t. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (raom ova omm PARIS, THURSDAY BTIVIINO. As if on purpose to give the public time to digest the official despatches from Sebutopol, and to read the very interesting correspondence in the London papers of this day, the manufacturers of canards seem to be making holiday. There is a total absence of any political news of importance. The Bourse has again exhibited a strong down ward tendency. The heavy fall of lin Consols gave a great shock to the market in the morning, and the Rents went down to 135 fr. It was not known posi tively, during 'Change hours, that the Bank of England had raised its discount, but no doubt was felt about the fact. The second quotation of Consols coming with a recovery of 1, the Rents experienced a corresponding upward move ment, and closed, for cash, at 65fr. 30c., with a fall on the day of 200. For time the fall was 40c., and in the morning the Reate in speculative transactions touched the low figure of 134 fr. 900. Qedit Mobilier fell 301 r., closing at the lowest price of the day,1230. Austrian railways fell 12fr. 500. French railways were of very difficult sale, and, with the exception of Lyons, which rose 15fr., all closed lower. Orleans and Euterns fell 10fr. each, Westerns 151 r., and Northern. sfr. The says it is happy to announoe good news from the corn market. Yesterday (Wed nesday), the principal market day, the hall was crowded. There was a very large supply, and the fall on flour is " estimated" at 3fr. the sack, and that on wheat at from lfr. 500. to 2fr. the sack. The Echo Agricolt says the fall was " at least " 2fr. upon all descriptions of flour. The Mocueur contains a decree extending the ex emption from the payment of navigation dues on vessels bringing cargoes of corn, flour, rice, potatoes, and dry vegetables, from the 31st Desember, 1855, to the mime date of 1856. M. Magner, the Minister of Finance, bas resumed his duties, which bad been confided, ad interim, to M. Rouber, Minister of Public Works. A letter from St. Omer states that, by order of the Minister of War, the camp at that place isto be en- tirely raised by the 15th of October, and the troops are to be divided among different garrisons. Some of the regiments have already left. The Courrier du Pas de Calais states that the camps of Ambleteuse and Wimereux will be raised about the same time, leaving only those of Honest'lt and Equihem, the troops in which will continue under the orders of Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers. M. Pacheco, Minister of Mexico, has written to the Pop to say that it is an error to suppose, as same newspaper writers have done, that the recent »vein- tionary movements in that country prepare the way for its annexation to the United States. - "Whatever may be the changes that take place in Mexico," ha declares, " they will always be of a national oha. ranter; no one thinks of annexation to the United States, and no party for such a purpose has ever exiate&" The Unions, which volunteers to be the organ of King Bombs in Paris, publishes accounts from Naples, which, after stating that M. Musa, Minister of Police, was not dismissed altogether on account of the affair of Mr. Fagan, the attaché to the English embassy, but for graver reasons„—which, however, are not mentioned,--says that it is not true that, as stated by telegraph, M. Bianchini has been appointed successor to M. Mama ; he has only been charged with the ad interim administration of the department. The Univers says also that the telegraph is in error in announcing M. Picena's nomination to the Ministry of War, is the room of the Prince dlochitella; be has only bees nominated Di rector in the Ministry; and as to General Win spear*, who is stated to have been nominated Secretary of State, be has only received the title as a mark of gratitude for his past services, but without the port- folio. The Univers adds that the reason of Prince d'lschitella's resignation was that it was found neces sary, from the Woman of business, to separate the Ministry of Marine from that of War, with which it had been hitherto united, and that the Prince did not think it becoming in him to retain the Ministry after it had been diminished in importance; but, in accept ing his resignation, the King nominated him his aide-de-camp, and ordered that he should continue to receive his salary as a pension. As to the Marine department, the Univers announces that General Bracco has been nominated Director of it. The French papers give the following account of the atrocious murder committed by a hackney coach man, which I mentioned the day before yesterday : The inhabitants of the Rue d'Enfer were on Tuesday morning alarmed at hearing the reports of two pistols in the house No. 83, followed by loud cries of "Help ! murder I " A polies agent who was near hastened in, and he met a man hurrying down eters. Having stopped him, and placed him in the salted, of some penes. who bad assembled be- low, he went up to the room in which the reports had been h ^aril, and there found a respectable-looking man lying on the floor in a pool of blood, with a deep wound just shove l the eye, and • lady leaning over him. Medical sublessee was procured, but it was found impossible to extract the ball, and the victim died in the course of the day l _ The_ lady, being questioned, stated that the wounded maa was her husband, canted Jugs, and that he was director of the Boole Normal. of Douai. Being in Paris on a pleasure *reunion, they two days ago hired a carriage for a drive in the Bois de Boulogne—and on their return, the driver *mated Mr. more thus his fare, and, when remonstrated with, was very insolent. Her husband ao aiding', made a complaint to the Prefecture of Police, and toe driver was laced to promise to restore the overcharge and to apologise for his rudeness. That morning the man called es M. Jugs on the pretense of repaying the money, sad asked him to write • receipt for it. M. Jug*, without hesitatke, seated himself at hie desk, but at the same moment the man dad • pistol right at his forehead. Madame Jag., who was present, rushed t her husband with loud crier, on which the man Bred a second pistol at her, but fortunately the bell only went through her dress. The murderer was immediately conveyed to the Prefecture of Police, where he stated his name to be Colligoon, and his age 49 ; and, on being questioned, he insolently de clared that he was delighted at what be had done, as it was necessary from time to time to prove to peop:e that they 'add sot be allowed to tyrannise over cab drivers. It was ascertained that the man had purchased the pistols in the course of the morning, and had caused the gunsmith to lead them. It is the custom among the French residents in New York to celebrate the anniversary of Lafayette's birthday, Sept. 8. This year it occurred to some of them to ask Mademoiselle Rachel to sing the "Mar ',Haim." Those (and I happen to be one) who heard the great tragedian sing this famous republican hymn in 1848, when, girt with the tricolour and holding a tricoloured flag in her hand, she electrified the audiences at the Francais, will never forget it. The journals of the time, I remember, described her performance as" neither singing nor declamation, but something supernatural between the two." Now, however, that Ledru Rollin is in exile instead of at the Hotel de Ville, and that Mademoiselle Rachel has become " one of the comedians in ordinary to his Majesty Napoleon the " Marseillaire" is no longer in the moon. In the following clever letter We have (Boston Guardian) great pleasure in publishing the foliowing letter (which has been placed is our heads by Mr. T.

Le Play, the oommissioner-general, who pointed out the most in teresting parts of the building. The Emir was ac sompanied by Commandant Boimonnet, acting as in terview., the ex-Caid of the Province of Constantine, his brother-in-law, and two other Arabs, who have stared his fortunes for many years. Abd-el-Kader was first conducted to that part where the produc tions of Turkey, Tunis, and India are ex hibited, and which he examined with the deepest interest ; and he afterwards stopped for some time before the clock manatee tared by a simple workman, and intended for the Cathedral of Avignon. The Emir also appeared much interested in the different new systems of arms; and an American revolver appeared to excite his parti cular attention. On entering the gallery of the Quai de Billy, Abd-el-Bader several times manifested his admiration at the immense number of machines of different kinds which there met his view, those for sawing and planing wood, cutting iron, &c., being particularly admired by him. Oa taking leave of M. Le Play, and thanking him for his kindness, the Emir said, "This place is the Palace of Intelligence, animated by the breath of God!" Prince Jerome yesterday visited the Duke of Saxe Coburg, who, after having been received on the pre vious day by the Emperor at St. Cloud, went to Mendon to visit the prince.

An officer writes, under date Sept. 10 : The 19th Regiment has suffered severely. We have 10 officers wounded, 4 dangerously, and the others, all but 3, severely. We have 27 killed and 148 wounded among the men, and this out of a force of 376, all we could collect to go into action. Some of the officers particularly distinguished themselves. Captain Bright, who was doing the duty of pay. master, in the absence of Captain Olendining from illness, and who might have remained in camp if he had chosen, went at the head of his company into action, was in the thick of it, but came out unhurt. Captain Chippendall stood for a long time, amidst a shower of musket balls and grape, on the first parapet of the Reden, waving his forage cap on the top of his sword to encourage the men to come on. Nothing could exceed his gallantry. It is a miracle that he escaped. At last he was pushed from the parapet l into the ditch, and fell among the heaps of dead and dying. A man who was by his side also fell at the same time, and was transfixed through the body by a bayonet. Lieutenant Goren and Lieu tenant Moleaworth displayed great bravery. The latter, though a youngster—quite a lad, just joined had the coolness to light a cigar while up at theßedan, in the midst of the fire. A shell burst over his head, one fragment knocked the cigar out of his mouth, another struck him in the back of the head and sent him ceaseless into the ditch. It was not for many hours after he was carried up to camp that he recovered from the first effects of the blow from the piece of shell ; it must have glanced off, for the wound it made was very slight. Major Warden was knocked over before he got up to the ditch ; so also was Colonel Uoett, who commanded the regiment. the former had a narrow escape. A piece of shell, sr a stone knocked up by a round shot, passed across his face, injuring one eye, and stunning him. lie was rendered blind for a time, but his sight is in no danger. Colonel Unett received a ball io the hip, which became fixed in the thigh-bone. He was being carried back to camp, and had reached the first parallel in safety, when a musket ball en tered his neck and shattered his collar bone to pieces. One of the men who was carrying him on the stretcher was also wounded at the same time. Ooe of the last remaining on the parapet of the Redan was a gallant young boy, Lieutenant Massy, who had only lately joined the regiment. Just at the last the poor youth received a ball which broke hie thigh bone, and he fell down towards the ditch. In the harry he was not noticed by the men who were retiring, sod he was left among the heaps of dead unable to aim till an early hour the next morning. Some; men of the 93rd Highlanders then noticed him, sad he was carried up to camp, where he had been gives lap for killed. He did not fall to the bottom of the ditch, and some Russians ooming out took away his sword and haversack, but did not maltreat him. A few of our men were taken prisoners in the Redan, and were only found in the town to-day. They had received injuries which prevented them from moving, and were left in houses which had been converted into hospitals. THE FRENCH WOUNDED. (From yesterday's llosi(eyr ) PARIS, San. 26. The Minister of War has received, from the In tendant-General of the Army in the East, the follow iog report: SEBASTOPOL, 81,T. 11. Monsieur le Pdarechal,—The glorious day of the Btb caused to enter our ambulances 4,472 wounded French men, 212 of whom are officers. In addition to these we have also received 1,664 wounded Russian,. It has needed all the activity, experience, and devo tion of the staff placed under my orders, properly to perform the duties which have devolved upon them in this wholly exceptional cue. The removal of the wounded was accomplished with all the promptitude it was possible to use, in the cease of trenches ploughed up by a storm of projectiles. Since the Bth about 3,000 men have been brought in. At the left attacks, where the ground allowed of our sending the litter•mules almost to the very place of combat, the removal was most rapid ; It wu far more diffi. cult in deep and almost inaccessible ravines on the right. There the wounded had to be conveyed oa stretclvn an enormous distance, and men to bear them were wanting. When night fell, the combat was still going on, and the last soldiers that fen arrived at the ambulance at nine in the morning. By the evening, notwithstanding their great numbers, the whole of them had received their first dressing, and the most urgent operations had leen performed. Our medical men were everywhere; five of them, Mean. Didiot, Dags, Huard, Darcy, and Ooinsrd, have been wounded. We have at the present moment in our Crimean ambu. lances 10,520 men, of whom 372 are officers. Our arrange. mints are of the completeet description, and we send off our drafts without harry, and with the utmost regularity. Fore. Boeing the events that have taken place, I had caused the number of the ambulances to be considerably increased by bringing some from Kamiescb, where there had been in the first instance en over supply. By means of these we were enabled to remove 1,000 additional wounded after the cons bat. These sick men amount at present to 1,600, who are very comfortably lodged in barracks, where the service will, I am sure, be properly provided for, thanks to the viee•admiral commanding the squadron, who at my request was so good as to send on shore and Voce at my disposal 12 naval surgeons before the battle took place. Messrs. Bondurand and Le Cauchois-Feraud, intendants of the let and 2nd army corps, lave admirably seconded me. They had made the best arrangements. The health offieers, the collective body of the intendants, the officers of adminis tration, the officers and soldiers of the baggage train, the attendants on the sick—all have done their duty with the most praiseworthy and perfect devotion ; and on this day, so glorious for our army, the hospital and the administra tive service have worthily performed the task confided to them.—l am, &a., BLANCHOT. ITALY. ()YON OUR OWN NAPLES, Si, 2e. I have been frequently asked what are the role. tions of Naples with Austria? They are of the w on t friendly—nay, rather of the most abject and sub. emissive character. Every man here, of whom, party he may be, holds this as an article of faith, clear and indisputable ; hence nothing was men obvious than to argue, from Naples to Vienne, policy in its sentiments unfavourable teem* the Western Powers ; and I have always in. sisted on Austrian faithlessness simply fr om the undisguised and hostile violation of net. trality by this government. Where has the cop. trary opinion ever been entertained except at Peril and London? His Majesty is, moat undoubtedly, counselled and directed by Austria, and for a long time has accepted from her his programme r egar di ng his getters' and private policy. The too ostentation coldness, the daily notes and messages between the two courts, are to anyone in this kingdom a clew proot of the desire which exists to conceal the j o u. many really binding them. • As another evidence of this Austrian tendency, I am informed that the deference, nay, almost the wee` ship which is paid the Queen by his Majesty is hide. scribable. It has happened that the council hubew silenced in order to hear a sentiment of her Ma. jesty's, and it is confidently affirmed that she arse. cises a great and a peculiar influence over the police, Campegna depending entirely on the Quell, ss the director of police is supposed to depead on his Majesty and his council. Evea in the hestof politics what is due to the lady must not be forgotten, and we therefore ab.tain from repeating much that we hear, but it is generally admitted that such is the irritation of her Majesty towards Neapolitans, that she is impatient of a residence in the capital. Another proof of entente cordiale is to be met with in the removal of Signor Francesco Metzbourg, Owe. seller of Legation in the Austrian Embassy atNaplee, This young diplomatist was a great favourite amongst the aristocracy of the country, and Ire. quented the most distinguished families, where his conversation was not always very favourable to the acts of the government. By the court and his Ma. jealy he was therefore looked upon with an unfriendly eye, and the King complained to certain of the no. bility that he had heard of phrases uttered by Sig. Metzbourg of a reprehensible character. Immediately on the arrival of the Archduke Maximilian, there fore, Metzbourg received a hasty dismissal. His Majesty, I think I informed you, has retired to his palace—the Favorita—at Portici, where the gardens will he opened in October for the public games. An electric telegraph has been erected them. The Count of Syracuse, who has always affected a disgust at the policy of his royal brother, and played the liberal,has lately formed the closest intimacy with the King, and scarcely a day passes without their spending some time together. The Hereditary Prince made his appearerce at the fete of Piedigrotta, but his weakly and suffering aspect produced a great impress eon on the people. The precautions of the police stem now to be cha. racterised by another variety, and colours are iospented with as lynx-eyed care as are beards. Special dine. tions are given to all tee officials and servants of the theatres to mark well not only the novelty and the irregularity of the beard or moustache, but the color of the cravat, it having been observed that many persons wore cravats with the Italian colours. A ridiculous fact, apropos of colours, happened on the evening of the ith of September. A new cafe was opened in the Vico Carminello, in the Toledo. Whilet the people were taking their aorbettes an agent of the police entered and ordered the cafe to be closed im mediately, threatening every one with imprisonment. The motive for this despotic and oppressive act wM a certain combination of colours on the walls and in the furniture—a combination said to be democratic. Even a woman's bonnet trimmed with red and green ribbons has led to the imprisonment of several persons. THE ALLIED ARMY IN THE FIELD.

THE CRIMEA. A letter from Vienna, of the 22nd, in the Indd• pendance of Brussels, says :—" From the accounts which have been received here, it would appear that the Allies are actively preparing for a campaign, and doubtless they have it in contemplation to force the Russian line of defence of Tscherker-Kerman, or, in other words, to make a diversion against Baktchi Bend. This town, which contains 1,600 houses and 10,000 inhabitants, is the station of the reserve of the Russian army which holds the plateaux of the Bel beck. From 300 to 400 deserters, most of them Poles, have arrived at the Allied camp; they relate that the demoralisation of the Russian army was moat complete; and that such was the confusion from the first moment of the attack, that the soldiers, ex hausted with fatigue, remained for twenty-four hours without provisions. The loss of the Russians is esti mated at 18,000 men." A letter from Berlin of the 23rd says :—" Various circumstances at St. Petersburg seem to indicate that Prince Gortehakoff will soon evacuate the forts to the north of Sebastopol. These forts, since the de struction of the Russian fleet and the naval esta blishments, are only strategetic points. Well-informed people say that if the Russian General should con- eider it desirable to concentrate his forces in the inte rior of the Crimea, he will not leave in the rear the garrisons of the forts. Amongst the Ruesian officers killed at Sebastopol is a son of M. Meyendorff, for merly Russian Ambassador at Berlin and Vienna." We learn by accounts from Constantinople to the 17th that the Turkish troops is the Crimea, who had commenced to embark for Asia, have been sent to Eupatoria, in order to co-operate in a movement . . which will be made in the rear of the Russian army. Ten vessels with troops on board have already pro ceeded to Eapatoria. The Aoglo.Turkish contingent which a few days ago was ordered to proceed to the Crimea will now go to Trebizond, to be placed under the command of Omer Paella. The news from Tre bizond of the 6th positively states that the Russians have abandoned the neighbourhood of Erzeroum and are now at MalagaWotan. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, THURSDAY.

Eastwood's, brush manufacturers, Park-lane, arrived In Leeds on Wed nesday. It ir dated "Camp, south side of Sebastopol, Sept. 11." Speaking of the storming of the Redan, the writer says :—" On the Bth of this month, our brigade was formed for the forlorn hope. . . .

He was in his 60th year. EGYPT. PIEDMONT. The following account of the King of Sardinia's health, given in the Piedasontese Gazette of the 21st, shows that his Majesty's illness must have been much more serious than was generally supposed: The violent fever, attended by acute inflammation, from which his Majesty has been suffering during the lut sight days, has materially diminished, and the inflammation is ta a w►y to cease speedily. It must not Lowever be concluded that nothing extraordinary may sups , for the nature and course of the illness are such that some time yet moat elapse before the august patient is likely to be completely cured. DEMONSTRATION OF THE STUDENTS AT UPSALA. STOCKHOLM SEPT 18. In celebration of the fall of Sebastopol all the eta dents of the University of Upeala assembled about six o'clock in the evening of the day on which the news arrived, on the great square of that city, with flags and banners, and, accompanied by masses of the people, proceeded in solemn procession, singing at the same time patriotic songs, to the monumental Gustavus the Great in the Wood of Odin. On their arrival at the obelisk the patriotic song composed by BOttiger on the occasion of the great festival in honour of Gustavus Adolphus, celebrated here in the year 1832, was sung in chorus with uncovered heads, after which the curator of the University mounted the pedestal of the monument, and made the following speech " On the occasion of the glad tidings we have received of the victorious triumph of the Allied Western Powers and the progress they are making in the war they have so nobly undertaken for the ad vancement of liberty and civilisation in Europe, the students of the University of Upgala cannot let the opportunity pass without raising their voice and giving . utterance to the expression of their sympathy, their joy, and their hopes for the future. And, why should not the sons of the country and people of the Charleses and Guatavuses lift up their voices is exultation at the glorious news received, when the messenger of victory is blowing the trumpet through• out the whole world, causing millions of hearts b rejoice and flutter with joyful sympathy ! No, tke flower of Sweden's youth can never forget the reminiscences of the past, because they are far too important, too grand, and too sacred. They , cannot forget them, because they contain their own demands, hopes, and vows for the future, of which they form the light and warmth. Animated by the most sincere and lively conviction, that those high-minded heroes who are magnanimously fighting the battle of justice, freedom, and civilisation, against the power of despotism, slavery, and ignorance, are engaged in mortal combat for the peace and happinma of the whole human race, the students of the University of Upeala voluntarily congratulate them on their victory, and express their sincere gratitude, fervent respect, and disinterested homage to them for their meritorious services in the cause of the happiness of mankind. From the deepest recesses of our hearts we wish them an uninterrupted con tinuance of victorious successes, which must sooner or later infallibly lead to the destruction of desp?tisint the humbling of arrogance, and the consolidation of justice and good government in every country on this globe." This address, which was listened to with the most decorous silence, was scarcely finished when the most deafening shouts broke out from the assembled mul titude, and gave sufficient proof how sincerely the sentiments expressed found a corresponding sympathy in the minds of the auditors. After nine additional tasty cheers were given for the Allies, and as many groans for Russia, Runeberg's beautiful Finnish popular song, ' , Our land, our land, our fatherlands" was rung in chorus by the inspirited populace, and he singing of the Swedish National Hymn con cluded the imposing ceremony. Accounts from the frontier town of Haparanda, at the extreme northern end of the Gulf of Bothnia, state that another shipment of 1,000 lispunde (28,000 lbs.) of lead had arrived there, sent by the Finnish merchant Olosemeyer, of Stockholm, but that although the royal ordinance lately issued, de cluing lead to be contraband of war, had not then been received, yet there being no doubt of its being intended for transhipment to Russia, it had been stopped and seized by M. Westendahl, the director of the Custom-house at Haparanda. I r
