AT last the pregasney of the Empress of the Fwca—which has for some time past been a State secret known to and talked of by the whole world— boa:ally entwined in the columns of the Moodier,. Notwithstanding the confident assertion of the courtly chronicler that the health of kw MAJEETT is excellent, there is but too much reason to fear that the touching passage which invites the payers of the French nation in her behalf is more than a mere wremocial form. All generous spirits who can raise themselves above the piques and grudges of political strife must, whatever their politics, sympathise with the parents in expectation. By NAPOLEON lIL the advent of the time when he is able to announce the prospect of an heir to his throne has doubtless been waited for ander the pressure of onetime sterna and stormier than those of mere natural affection. The crown he has placed upon his head has been worn before him by at least one other of his race ; bat the existence of heirs is as necessary to give a promise of stability to a dynasty as the pre-mia ow, of ancestors. Till this moment he has been haunted by anxieties suggested by his having no direct lineal heir, and, in franknembe it spoken, no near relation endowed with talents for governing. He doubtless regards the event which he has an nounced in the Moniker as enabling him to " take a bond of Fate." In this he may be too sanguine. As the old proverb has it, " there is many a slip 'twist the map and the lip." Even though his marriage bed should be blessed by an heir, this is no guarantee against the possibility of a long minority. The son of NAPOLEON 111., though born in the purple chamber, will not be born to a life of ease and unvarying prosperity. The announcement in the Moniteur prompts irre sistibly the indulgence of conjecture as to the pro. bible stability of the existing Government of France. It is a question in which all Europe has a deep in terest. Every convulsion that agitates Paris shakes the remotest corners of Europe. At the present moment in particular, while a straggle is in progress to repel the systematic aggressions of Russian ambition, it has a deeper meaning than usual The policy of NAPOLEON 111., in relation to this straggle, is known, and generally relied upon. Aoy madden change in the Government of France would occasion, at the least, an anxious pause of un certainty. We are not, it is true, of those who think that any change that lies within the range of proba bility could lead to an alteration in the relations of France and England, or to any vacillation in the foreign policy of France. The more kindly feeling towards Englishmen which has come to pervade the French people is not, as some flatterers would have us believe, the work of the present ruler of France. He has watched the growth of that amity with an intelligent eye, and skilfully availed himself of it to strengthen his Government, but he has not created it. It is the result of increased social communication and extended businese relations. Should it be his fate to be driven from power, this feel ing will survive his deposition, as it preceded his occu pation of the throne. As for the sentiments with which the French people regard the war, the silence imposed upon every organ for the expression of public opinion renders it more difficult to ascertain them. Our deliberate conviction, however—based upon extensive and dispassionate inquiry—ia that the French people, though not so enthusiastically bent upon the war as the English, are convinced of its justice and necessity, and resolute to persist in it. Lastly, though we should deprecate any revolutionary movement in France under existing circumstances, we should have no fears for the preservation of peace and order in the event of one taking place. The eagerness with which all parties in France sought to improvise some kind of stable Government in February, 1848, affords a sufficient guarantee on that score. If we feel less assured of the permanence of the existing Government of France than the great majo rity of Englishmen, it is not because we desire any im mediate change, but because we deem it prudent always to look realities boldly in the face. We mut not allow ourselves to be deceived by the ephemeral snthosium of gala•days. It is our principle that the French people alone ought to have a voice in deciding how or by whom they are to be governed. Acting upon this principle, though we spoke our minds freely of the manner in which the existing Government was founded, we have respected the acquiescence of the French people in Its continuance. Without being adulators or partisans of the &nitwit, we have not bees slow to do justice to those high and amiable qualities of which he has shown himself pa ssaged. Bet we are still far from certain that his dynasty has struck permanent root in France. The work of the revolution of 1789 has not been partially accomplished. In France there are no lager an aristocracy, middle classes, and a lower class. butted of the first mentioned, there is a class composed of ad ministrators and a few large speculative capitalists; instead of the mooed there is one bourgeoleie ; instead of the third, a proletariat singularly emancipated from all belief in social inequalities. The opinions of men have been as entirely revolutionised la France as their social relations. By far the largest and most in fiuentialsect ion of public opinion is deeply imbued with the various shades of those principles which are vaguely called Socialist. No Government can be per manent in France that does not take note of these facts, and adapt itpelf to the opinions and social relations of the people; and that dose not at the same time possess their love and coofidenoe. Now, though NAPOLEON 111. has evinced considerable sagacity in appealing from Paris to the whole of France—u O'Conexu. appealed from Dublin to the whole of Inland—and in paying homage to some of the most cherished principles of the French people; it may be doubted whether he is perfectly master of the situsden. He clings too fondly to many of the ferias and institutions of the (ultimo regime. He seeks to duals by extravagant expenditure and theatrical parade. Again, though the violence of opposition to him has much abated, it is far from certain that he has sucoseded in making himself generally beloved. The Republicans, the Legitimists, and eves the comparatively small party of the Orleanists, adhere stubbornly to their principles. The various party leaders have not yet abeadoned all hope of sucomefully competing with ' hint fee the possession of power. A oossiderable party, Wad, is disposed to accept him as a gnarentee l tor national tranquillity ; but though this party num- 1 ben is its reeks some of the ablest and most energetic spirits in Fates, it is of bad augury that all the most pun and high-principk d public men (political and lite rary) still stand aloof from it. The strength of Nero• LEON 111. consists in the anxious desire st the groat sus of the people to swaps ISM tke-lon'we4l vt tumultuous revolutionary struggle& No 'poetesses' movement is likely to be side to overthrow him; but if tweaks were to arise from any non-political cause, the number of supporters he could rely upon is extremely uncertain. Even the army is split up into tuitions ; even his own personal friends begin to, complain that he takes counsel with no one. Is endeavouring, therefor*, to forecast the future of Frans, the question of the probable continuance of social tranquillity becomes an essential element in our calculations. And it cannot be denied that there are symptoms visible at present calculated to excite un easiness. It appears to be certain that the harvest is deficient, and that provisions will be dear through out the winter. The proletariat has been kept quiet of late by constant employment and good wages. But no inconsiderable amount of this employment has bees derived from publics works. U l na these works immense sums have been expended, not only by the Government, but by all the departments and municipalities. And to meet this expenditure large loans have been contracted. The public debt of France (including that of the municipalities) is large and increasing ; the expense of the Court, too, is enormous; to a heavy war taxation is - added a heavy domestic expenditure; and the proprietary Blass is beginning to be impatient at being taxed to keep the outruns quiet. There is, therefore, already a considerable amount of discontent among the pro prietary classes; and dear food, and curtailed em ployment, may serve to stir up the proletariat also. The financial policy of the Government has in creased the danger. With an Idea that it was giving expansion to credit in Franco, it has in fact bean stimulating the already exces sive tendency to speculatioes in agiaage. This is the source of what is really dangerous in the exist log monetary crisis in France. There has been no undue straining of ortdit among the manufacturers and merehanti; the revenue has shown a wonderful elasticity; but the interference of Government with the operations of the Bourse, and the daring specula tions of the agioteurr, have brought about an un healthy condition of the money market, which threatens to ripen to a crisis. The paralysis of indus trial operations that would thereon ensue, and the consequent distress among all classes, would inevi tably lead to commotion, amid which the war of political principles and personal ambitions would be renewed, and the result of such a state of affairs it is impossible to foresee. In dwelling upon these possible contingencies, our sole object is to call the attention of France, England, and rational Liberals everywhere, to the critical posi tion of affairs in the great centre of continental civi lisation. We have no enmity to the existing Govern. ment in France, and we have a sincere respect and good-will for that great nation. We wish to see it tree, tranquil, and happy, for we believe that upon its prosperity depends the prospect of good govern ment and human happiness throughout the world. gut Court. BALMORAL, Ocr. 10.

Glow ova owx HAMBURG, FRIDAY. A despatch from Prince Elortchakotf, dated the 9th alit., his been received at St. Petersburg. It says: " The enemy has advanced from Eupatoria, threat ening Perekop, but retired on meeting the advanced posts of our left flank. "The enemy put in disorder sixteen battalion. from Kokoulousea to Janyssata." OPESSA. According to a despatch received yesterday at Vienna from Odessa, up to 9 o'clock on the 9th, the fleet of the Allies had undertaken nothing against the place. THE LATE RUSSIAN LOSSES. The lava:irk Rum of October 2 contains Prince Gortohakoff's long-promised report of events and losers Immediately preceding and accompanying the fall of Sebastopol. The Russian Gemara admis sions are very startling. He says: On the 17th - of August the enemy opened from the side of /iambsLan a very heavy and murderous cannonade whisk lasted twenty days. Our 1014 during that period wel, on the first day, 1,600 men ; on the days following, 1,000; and from the 22nd of August till the 6th of September from 600 to 600 men every twenty-four hours. Oa Um 6th of September the enemy continued the bom bardment with redoubled force, end the easnonade was inconceivably destructive, to such a degree that our fortifi cations were shaken by it along the whole line of defence. This infernal the (fin infinsal), principally directed against the embrasures, proved that the enemy was endeavouring to dismount cur guns, to demolish oar ramparts, and to prepare fog taking the city by storm. It was no longer pos sible to repair the dung' done to our works, and our efforts were limited to covering the powder elegising@ and the bliodages with earth. The parapets ennobled down and filled up the revises; it was nscessuy to °oedipus clearing the embrasures, end the number of artillerymen killed was so great, that it was with difficulty we could bring up others to take their plan. Oar loss at this period of the siege was extraordinary ; from the 6th to theft of Septem ber there were placed hors is combat, superior °Moen 4, subalterns 47, sad 3,917 soldiers, without reckoning the artillerymen who perished at their guns. Atter describing the assault and capture of the Malakhoff, the report adds : The general lase of the garrison on the Bth of September was-4 superior oaken, 66 subside's', sad 2,625 men, killed ; wounded, 26 superior officers, 206 shelters., 6,826 even; eastased, 9 superior officers, 38 subalterns, 1,138 men ; miming, 24 onsets and 1,739 men. . _. .. From these data, the loss of the Russian army within the 22 days ending with that of the assault, appears to be as follows : Avg. 17 1,600 Lai. 18 to Aug. 21, haelosho Log. 22 to &pt. 4. isolualvo &pt. 6 to &pt. 8, ad Wholly 8414. 8 Total 28,868 If to this be added the Rundan lose in the battle of the Tohernays, fought on the 16th August, which, se the object of the attack was to compel the:Allies to raise the siege, may be considered a part of the final struggle, the total loss of the enemy within about three weeks will appear to be little short of 40,000 i men—a result quite sufficient, independently of the capture of the Malskhoff, to account for the fine! abandonment of the place. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1855. NEUTRAL FLAGS IN THE SEA OF AZOFF. VIENNA, OCT. 7. The permission granted by the Allies to friendly and neutral flags to ship grain in the ports of the Bea of Azoff, under proper restrictions, as telegraphed to you on the 4th inst., was negotiated by the Austrian government at the instance of the Trieste house of Gopeewitsch, which bad large stores of corn at Taganrog, and lost it all during the bombardment. I am now able to add that Russia has also given its consent to the measure, but, of oourse, only es far as omen= the flogs of neutral dates. THE BLACK SEA EXPEDITION. Ockschakow, whither the allied fleets are stated in the telegraphic despatch to have gOO% is a port of a certain degree of importance, on the north side of the estuary of the Dnieper, opposite Binburn, 50 miles west of Cherson and 190 north by east of Constanti nople. It is considered the key both to the Bog and the Dnieper. It was taken by storm by the Russians in 1788, and has since belonged to them. A letter from Copenhagen says :—" The King, on the refusal of the Hereditary Prince to sign the new constitution, gave him a certain period to think the matter over ; and it was not until after the Prince, on the expiration of that period. had repeated his re fusal, that his Majesty removed him from the com mand of Zealand and the other Danish isles, as well as of the army." Other letters say that the banishment of Prince Ferdinand from the capital—should he persist in his refusal to sign the new constitution—le spoken of. Rumour even assigns to him a forced place of reel denco—vM., the fortified city of Frederieia. RUMOURS OF A RUSSIAN LOAN. VIENNA, Oar. 4. Several bankers here give oredenos to the rumour that Russia is contractiog a loan in North America, and that the negotiations are nearly concluded. The Monitevr, Wide@ etatiog that the health of the Empress Eugenie is expellent, adds the follow ing lines: " Franco will hear of the pregnancy of the Empress with u much joy u thankfolneas to Previdenee. This happy event, what'll promises to the Emperor the only satiefastion wanting to oomplete his domestio happiness, is a new guarantee for the stability of our institutions. Every one will return thanks to Heaven and offer prayers for the preservation of the Em press's health and the accomplishment of the nation's hops." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. pant ova OWN PARIS, TZUZIDAY Sysmu,. The Bourse was very flat, in consequence prin cipally of the measures expected to be taken by the Bank of France, to which I alluded yesterday. I have not yet heard the result of the meeting of the Bank Directors this day. There is a report that the meeting separated without making any change. The Rents closed at 64fr. 450., with a fall of se. Very little business was dons throughout the day. Bank of France fell 30fr., and Credit Mobilier &fr. Rail ways were rather lower, but there was very little change in quotation. A telegraphic despatch, dated Cagliari, Oct: 10, says :—" The laying down of the submarine telegraph between Cagliari and the coast of Africa has been I interrupted by the breaking of the cable. The Eng lish ship the Result, which was employed in the service, returns with the cable to Ragland. It is probable that the establishment of this telegraphic line must be postponed to a more favourable season." M. Erdan, a redacteur of the Press., wee some time since sentenced to eight days' imprisonment and a fine of 100 fr. for a libel on the Catholic religion, alleged to be contained in his work La France Mys tique. The Procurenr-General, not being satisfied with this light punishment, appealed a minima (a proceeding allowed by French law). The appeal was heard to-day, and M. Erden has bent sentenced to • year's imprisonment and a fine of I,ooofr. In the Dade, Colonel St. Aoge gives the follow ing aocount of the probable intentions of Marshal Pelissier : The corped'arsee of Sepatoria esastitutes, although at • &stases, the eztreaie left of the general system of open tioas of the Allies. This eorpe nausea@ both the rigla of the Russians sad the Dent» of their oommunications with southern Ramie, from which they obtain their supplies in the Crimea. Their army before Sebastopol maintains for the present its right at the northern forts, its centre in the fortifications of the Mackenzie height., opposite the lower course of the Tokenism and its left on the heights above Tchorgoun. which are occupied by the Piedmotatese. But this left appears at present greatly menaced by the more meats of t►e right wing of the Allies in the moun tain, of Balder. The only elements of appreciation which we yet possess are the despatches of Ge I Gortehakoff, the last of which is dated the 6th. Re first of all spoke of engagements of the vanguard towards Urkoaisa, or Ruilkacata according to the maps, a village situated above Radar, and said that our advanced posts had bean ',palmed by the Cossacks; then he announced that that place remained in our power ; then that the Allies had, on the 22nd ult., an engagement with his intenuf sod that they retired towards the same Urkoussa ; and afterwards that the Allies, having come down from the mountains, had forced themselves a passage—an logenious expression to dissimulate some combat in which the Rcasians were driv. a from their position. Fleetly, under date the 4th, the Rto sian general announces that the Allies were extending titer operations from the mounteins of Balder to the valley cf the Upper Setback; Lod according to another despatch of the same General, of the 6th, our troops had left the Upper Set back. Thus then they had only gone solar as to make a recon• naissana Bat this sole indicatioa denotes a marked pro. grass of the Allies oa the lett wing of the Russians to surround them. The Bethink in fact lows at three or four leagues to the rear of Mackenzie. We do not know to what part of the valley of the Upper Dalbeck they went, but it may be supposed that it was to Harlon, opposite Fott Sal., because there exists there a road which crosses the moun tains of Balder to that village. It is eves to be noted that from Foti Bala the road rues oa the right book of the Set back, to join the high road from Sebastopol to Simpheropol at a phase named Rhator-Traktir (the Inn farm), It is the road which the Tartar of the southern legion were accustomed to take to reach lisktchi-tterai. As the Ras- siens no doubt still occupy the village of Ai-Todor, at the rise of the Choulios, which falls into the Tobernsys at Tcho►goun, and the village of Charall-Ozenstak, the Allies will probably not attempt to establish themselves on the Upper Balbach before having driven the enemy from Ai- Todor and the other position—if that is to form part of the plan of Marshal Pelissier to prolong Ms right wing to the BelWek. General Gortchakoif lastly announces th►t the Allies have removed their troops from their right. between Balsklava and the Tether:nye. Trail is very well explained by the movements which we have just described. The Russians will not attempt to advance in that direction (where, by the way, them are reeerms), because then they would sepias them- selves to be taken in the mu by one right wing. However this may be, all the right wing of the army has taken poa -61116i011 of the mountains situated between Haider, the Chou liou, and the Belbeck, on the extreme left of the Hussies army. It is even fortifying itself in the most important passages, in arming redoubts on commanding positions, and is forming reads to facilitate the arrival of provisions and ammunition. These measures seem to indicate tcst the army thinks of establishing 'Melt during the bed season on the Sae from Sebastopol to the Upper Bethink. The Commissary of Pollee of the district of the Opera yesterday proceeded, in conjunction with some gentlemen of the Administration, to make the monthly inventory of the effects of the Grand Opera; and on going below the stage, a strong smell was perceived, and something resembling a lay figure was seen suspended. This figure tuned oat to be the dead body of a man hanging by the neck from a beam, and in which putrefaction had commenced. The deceased, being cut down, was recognised as a scene shifter of the establishment, one Charles It—, thirty-one years of age. Ho had long been accustomed to drink to excess, and hsd often spoken of suicide. On Sunday morning last he went to a publio-bonee with several other scene shifters, and drank brandy with them. After a while he drained off a glass-fall, and said " Thin is the last." He then shook his companions by the hand, and went away, as it now appears, to hang himself A eurious circumstance, which showe that popular superstitions have lost little of their fora, occurred after the di►co very of the body. The rope which the man used was left by the Commissary of Police on a stool, and when he sought for it he found that the chorus singers and the ballet people had cut it into bits and divided it amongst themselves.

Deutsch* Post, of Vienna, says: The uaeapested arrival, on the Inoralng of the 26th, of the Emperor, seonspanied by the ()road Dukes Michael and Nichols., caused much astoolshasent to the public.

OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. --4.-- (71011 017/11 OWN 001111SPONDINO CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Barr. 28. We appear to be doomed to disappointment in our expectation that a strong allied force would be sent I I to Eupatoria. The movements and report. which led to this belief appear to have been made and dissemi nated for the purpose of deceiving the enemy. The rains and snows of November will probably set in before we gather any fresh laurels in the Crimea. Meanwhile the Russians are taking are that our occupation of their abandoned quarters shall be more hot than pleasant. I have already mentioned that a strong detachment of our own, composed of artillery and infantry, had taken up its quarters in the government and other Admi ralty buildings, in the central part of the town. This appears to have become speedily known to the enemy, for, on the very second day of our occupation, they commenced shelling the place in a manner which soon convinced our authorities that no freedom from rent could compensate for the very certain danger which must attend residence in so exposed a sites tion ; and accordingly, after the occurrence of several casualties, it has been found necessary to withdraw the men from their new barracks, and place them again under canvass. The building in which they had taken up their quarters was a portion of the lofty and massive row which extends along the east ern bank of Admiralty Bay, from the Dockyard to what are now the ruins of Fort Paul; and it had evidently been one of the regular barracks occupied by the Russian soldiery, whose beds were found there and used by the men of our own detachment. The spot is within easy shelling range of the Wasp Fort and the other shore batteries of the enemy on the opposite side of the Great Harbour; and, but for the annoyance resulting from this, the lofty and spacious chambers would have afforded really luxurious winter quarters to the occupying force. On the third day aster the building had been taken possession of with this view, I happened to be in that portion of it which had been selected for a surgery, and was stand ing talking to the doctor of the party, when a shell passed through the roof, and penetrated the two upper Boors of the building to that immediately above our heads. As no explosion fol lowed, we concluded that it had been merely a round shot, and were congratulating ourselves to this effect, when an artillery sergeant in the room coolly inti mated that we were mistaken, and that " it would burst presently." On this hint we deemed discretion to be the better part of valour, and speedily made for the outer door, but had not reached it before the iron messenger above exploded, tore through the flooring overhead, and sent a crashing fragment doWn on the very spot we had moved from. After another day's endurance of the chances incident to such a situation, the men were removed back to the camp, and the intention of quartering the regiments there in turn has been wisely abandoned. I say wisely, for, besides the risk arising from the enemy's shells, another very considerable one lay in the facility with which during a dark night they might have thrown a body of five or six thousand men across the harbour in the barges and other small craft yet remaining, and have surprised our small garrison, of less than a , fifth of that numerical strength—escaping before any adequate relief could by possibility come to the rescue of the attacked handful. By the last steamer from Kertch we have news of a brush between a party of the 10th Hussars and a swarm of Cossacks, which is another good illustra tion of the utter worthlessness of these het-savage hordes against a regular European cavalry. It appears that a party of thirty Hussars and a sub altern were reconnoitring a few miles out of Kertch, when they suddenly found themselves cut off from the town by a dense body of Cossacks, nuo•bering some two hundred in aIL Flight was out of the question, and was probably not much to the taste of the intercepted detachment ; so they prepared to make a dash for it at the sword's point. Seeing this, I the confident Cossacks came on like a tornado, with 1 levelled lances and their accustomed whoops. The little band awaited them till the interval was reduced Ito some three bondred yards, when they dashed at them shoulder to shoulder, and had almost penetrated to the centre before their astounded assailants had unhorsed a man. The very numbers of the Cos sacks neutrslised their strength, and before five minutes after the first collision our men had sabred more than two to one of their assailants. The struggle lasted in all some twenty minutes, during which the brave handful of Hussars thrust and slashed about within the dense circle that hedged them in, and which only seemed to grow the closer and more serried the more its numbers decreased. At length, however, a breach was effected, and after cutting nearly half the attacking horde to ribbons, our men gained the open, and effected their escape back into Kertch, leaving, I regret to say, half their number dead upon the scene of this brilliant though costly struggle. I have not heard whether the officer was amongst the killed, but doubtless some official report of the affair will be published, which will give full details of the fight itself, and of the resultant casual ties. General Jones left the Crimea on Thursday, to go before a medical board at Scutari, with a view to a winter's leave for England. His ailment was acute sciatica, which had attained each a violence as to vir tually paralyse every limb of the sufferer. Sir Harry was carried down to the ship in a slung hammock supported by eight men, and certainly presented a picture of very great suffering as I passed the party on my way up from Ba laclava. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, of the 7th, in the Bourse Gazette of Berlin, says :—" The arrangement which the government is about to enter into with the Bank for the regulation of financial affairs, will allow it to dispense with any other capital. It is stated, in fact, that the Minister of Finance has declared to M. de Rothschild, as well as to the Baron de Bins, who was carrying on negotiations on account of M. Pefi reire, that he could not come to any decision until the Bank had executed the operations proposed to it.' The negotiations with these gentlemen may, there-1 fore, be considered as broken off." VIOLATION OF AUSTRIAN TERRITORY. Intelligence was received at Vienna yesterday evening that a band of Montenegrins bad made an irruption into the Herzegowina, and thus violated the Austrian territory near Krivoecia. GENERAL SIMPSON'S GRAMMAR. The commander of oar Crimean army seems to be as confused in the marshalling of hie words ae in his arrange. meats for an assault. In his last report, dated Sept. 29, and published us *skimp in another column, be sap," Since my last despatch the troops base been employed, to the number of 9,500 men, daily, in making the road from Balaclava to the camp ; and as," be continues, " after a few hours of rain, the whole distance is converted into a mass of deep mud, the work that has to be performed, from this reason as weU as the great distaste) that the stones base to be transported, render it one of great labour and dila eulty." The first clause of the sentence Is tolerably clear. Bat what direct connexion is there between " the work that km to be perisensmi'• awl the" maim it' near the end I Sebnitete the little weed "is" gem this bettor phrase, and the emission vanishes; bet, as the mounts* stands, the General has made it a " work" of " great labour and diffi culty "to fathom his own meaning. Again, as regards style; in the fourth paragraph, after speaking of an explosion by which an *Meer and nineteen men were wounded the Commander -ia.chief says:— " I ordered an ince:Option to be made, and from the report I have received the origin was from the explosion of a hidden fowls., a number of which have been dug up is various mrts of the town and batteries." "From the re port," Ike.. was "from the explosion of a hidden imagoes, a number of which"— lisle is an elegant collocation. Dcgbsrry himself could not match it. A sheet tines ago every one was enmplaining of the curtness of the General's despatches. He is sow trying his hand at the diffuse, but with little advantage to the reading public DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIMPSON. (110111 ♦ IVP?LWI!T TO Tll "OUNTTI" OT OM 94 WAR DEPARTMENT, Oer. 11. Lord Panmure has this day received a de l p itc h and ita enclosuree, of which the following are ono % addressed to his Lordship by General Simpson Sebastopol, Sept. 29, My Lord,—Since my last despatch the troops h ue been employed, to the number of 9,500 men, 44,4 making the road from Selektive to the camp ; la d es, after a few hours of rain the whole distance i s converted into a mass of deep mud, the work the has to be performed, from this reason as well el the great distanoe that the stones have to be tres i p : ,, 44l, render it one of great labour and diffieulty. Large fatigue parties are daily employed is dies town, dismantling and conveying timber end oth er materials from the ruins of the building', a n d / hope, by this means, to get a considerable p ort i on of the troops under cover previous to the commence, ment of the bad weather. The enemy have been firing from the batteries on the north aide at the working parties in the town, and although causing some little annoyance, they he,, not prevented the work being carried on: and lam happy to add *at one man killed and one wouedei are the only casualties occasioned by their fire, I regret to have to report to your lordship du owing to the explosion of a Russian magazine on the 27th instant one officer and 19 men were wounded. I ordered an investigation to be made, and from the report I have received the origin wee from the explosion of a hidden !bagfuls, a number or which ' have been dog up in various parts of the town end batteries. The invention of this machine is peculi ar ly R m . Sian. I have received a letter from Lieutenant• Colonel Ready, 71st Regiment, commending her 1 1 1sjesty's troops at Yenikale, reporting the proceedings el a trifling affair, in which a detachment of the 10th Hussars, in company with the Charms d'Afri ue, were engaged on the 21st inst. with the Colonel D'Oemont, commending the French from at Kertch, received intormation that the C4reare were collecting and driving away all the arabes from the neighbourhood, and, as he determined to ends. your to prevent this, he invited the assistance of the English cavalry to co operate with the Chew= d'Afrigne. For this service, Lieutenant• Colonel Ready ordered two troops, commanded by Captains the Hon. F. FetzClarence and Clarke, of the 10th Humus. The Coesacks were supposed to have amemblid their ambits at two villages, named Koss-Sersi Julia and Seit Ali, equidistant from Kertch aboutls mile, and from one another, 63. Captain Fitz Charted, troop was ordered to the first village, and NMI Clarke's to the latter. At each of these villages they were to join a troop of the Chasaeura d'Afrique who had preceded them. On arriving at Kose-Serai Captain Fitz Clarence found both troop. of the French Dragoons, and immediately sent off an order to Cap. tain Clarke to join him that night ; the letter in, unfortunately not delivered until the followiog mom. ing. In complying with this order, Captain Clarke, whose troop consisted on ly 01 34 men,fell in with 'body of about 30 Cossacks, which he immediately ohm* and pursued, but as they were soon reinforced by upwards of 300, he was forced to retire open the village, with a lose of his sergeant-major, farrier, ard 13 men taken prisoners. Captain FitzClarence'a troop, with the Chums, the whole under the command of the officer command. ing the French troops, having seen a large body el the enemy, skirmished with them at some distance, and moved in the direction of the village of Semi Min ; where, after having joined Captain Clarkes troop, the whoa. force commenced their march apoa Kertch. _ At about the distance of half a mile from the Tiller they were attacked by a large body of Consols, who were, however, beaten back by repeated charges. The loss of the 10th Hussars consisted of 2 vivito, supposed to have been killed ; 1 wounded; 1 troop sergeant-major, I farrier, 13 men, 15 horses, misting. From information that has since been rewind, the Cossacks were supported, within a quarter of ea hour's march, by eight squadrons of Hussars sad 'eight guns. Colonel Ready informs me that nothing could exceed the coelneas and courage of the troops in the presence of such overwhelming numbers of the enemy, who were only kept at bay by their steady movemente. I have the honour to enclose the list of casualties. The health of the army, I rejoice to say, is ens!. lent. I have, &c., JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding.
