These exploits of the Muscovites impart to their Emperor's visit to the southern pies of his dominions, a character un precedented in history. We read of many Kings and Kaisers who have repaired to the theatre of war, to p through the form of receiving the submission of towns, fortresses, or armies, that had previously been redacted to extremities by their generals. But ALI:LANDER IL is the first Sovereign on raved who has travelled so far to witness, with his own eyes, the dexterity with which his soldiers can destroy and evacuate their own defences. The Roman Emperor who went from Rome to the Belgian coast to wit ness a sham embarkation for the reagent of Britain has hitherto been thought the most sublime ninny on record : his laurels must fade in comparison with the Russian Emperor, who has travelled from St. Petersburg to Odes+ to witness an unresieted irruption into his own dominions.

Mnircaixorr, and that their forts around South Sebastopol bad been blows up by the orders of Prince Cloarrnexorr, they could console them. selves by the reflection that these misadventures could *lily happen in the absence of their Etopetoe— Zeit clod op= earth. But their Emperor has gone to the mese of action, and matters go on in his presence exactly as they did in his absence. May not this shake their confidence in his miraculous power to protect them? And may not the consequent want of faith in him prepare au iodiffaent reception for his Impe rial Majesty oa his return ? The reverence with which the Russians regard their Sovereign border. on idolatry ; but old chronicles tell us bow the worshippers of idols have ere now, when tired with praying to their wooden gods without effect, tried whether they could not beat them into better behaviour. If the Russians have ever read the story of the man who, tired out with fruitless prayers to his idol, threw it rudely down from its pedestal, and was rewarded by a stream of gold ceis which, hayloft bees deposited in a cavity of the image, flowed from it when broken, they may be tempted to repeat the experiment epee their own flesh and blood divinity. But possibly the politeness of the Russian., is saving the Allies the trouble of destroying their ships and forte. is the re nit of some deep-laid abase. We may read in the next number of the Journal is &. Pitersbessrg that conies to band an exposition of the Machiavellian policy of its Go verment. In this way the other great humbug of the day—the Tissue—when it has been plied by a Tatar canard about the fall of Sebastopol, or by a stock jobbing telegraphic message intimating the departure of a courier from Berlin with letters of real to the Prussian Minister in Loadoe, or by a private letter announcing that a polies superinten dent bad been empowered to postpone the Jesse of the report of a Royal Calming= on his own conduct, coolly assures its readers next day that it wee aware of the falsity of the reports, and that its grave moments on them were delicate irony.

A private telegraphic' despatch received in Paris yesterday from Marseilles, brings accounts from Constantinople to the 15th, sod from the Crimea to the 13th. The mortar batteries had opened on this last day against the northern forts. The division of infantry of General d'Autemarre occupied the plateau of the Balboa, and the French cavalry had advanced to Balder. The army at Bapatoria daily received reinforcements. An entire division of French infan- try, commanded by General de Failly, and a strong , body of English cavalry, landed there on the 11th.1 It was believed that General Gortchakoff intended to concentrate his forces round Shapheropol. THE FALL OF KINBURN. The following telegraphic despatch from Marshal l Minim, in relation to the above event, was received yesterday in Paris by the French Minister of War: " SEBASTOPOL, Oor. 21, 6 P.N. "I have just received from General Bassin his report of the captors of Binbarn. "The Anglo-French division of the army has actively contributed to the success of the Allied squadron. 6 , Having been landed on the peniosnle about liTt l kilowatt , ' from the ft:irees. it took up its position, night of the 18th opened the trenches at 800 goitres from the worts. " When the fleet commenced its heavy fire on the 1 17th, two companies of Chasecure, under cover at a distance of 400 metres from the batteries, were able to keep up a fusillade on the Russian artillerymen at their guns. "The field artillery also played an effective part in the operation. "We have taken 1,420 prisoners, including Or• neral Koisnorlech and 40 odious, with 174 pieces of cannon and a quantity of ammunition and @torte. We are now in full occupation of an important po- sition. " Such are tho results to the Allies of this suetessfal expedition. ;, The Russians have rendered this success complete by themselves blowing up the fortifications of Otcher toff, on the 18th.

It is added that the Bank is at this moment a purchaser of gold in Holland to the extent of 60 million from. It is confidently affirmed that Perekop will be be. , eieged.

FRONTIERS OF POLAND, Ocr. 18. During the last few days it is generally reported that Prince Prokiewitch has communicated to some of the highest officials at Warsaw the extraordinary intelligence that on the return of the Emperor from the South sorce very important changes will be made in the administration of affairs in Poland, and that there will be " another government." Person, of the highest respectability residing near the frontiers as sured me that there could be no doubt of timer) words having escaped the lips of the aged ficeroy, and various are the versions assigned as the solution of this enigma, the real meaning of which is as dark as the oracle of Delphi. In the meantime it is very generally considered likely that Prince Paskiewitch will retire from the responsibility and cares of office. It is well known that he has several times begged the Emperor to accept his resignation and appoint a suc cessor; and it is asserted on good authority that he has again done so now lately, but that the Czar has requested him as a personal favour to continue in office for the present, to which he is said to have acceded in consideration of the threatening aspect of affairs and the dark uncertainty of the future. OTCHAKOFF, KHERSON, AND NICOLAIEFF. Otchakoff, which forms the key to Nicolnieff, is thus described by the Assernblie Nationale : Otchakoff, bat for its strategical poeltioo, would be con sidered at this day as an unimportant village. Kieburs, the Kilburun of the Tartars, is not even a village. These two Pinta. previ , ate to the present war, were scarcely fortified, and the moat recent amounts only mention the existence of one battery at Otchakoff; but, !ince the bombardment of Odom., the Russians comprehended the necessity of defend ing that passage, and the siege of Sebastopol bee taught us the promptitude with which the enemy can raise fortifica tions, and make up in that respect for lost time. The forts of Hinourn fell into the hands of the allies on the 17th. If Otohakoff, as it appears probable, be attacked in its turn, the defence it can offer will not be of any length. The capture of these two fortresses will open the passage of the month of the Dnieper to the Anglo French squadrons, end in consequence the road to Nicolsieff and Mimes. The occupation of Otchakoff would, moreover, permit the despatch of a land expedition against the first.named town. Nloalaieff forms the point of a triangle, having the mouth of the Dnieper for basis, and of which the citadel of Otehakoff and the tows of lehersort occupy the other extremities. The roads which conduct to them do not appear to offer any merinos obstacle.. - _ Our contemporary thus describes Kherson : Khenon, the capital of the government of the same name, was for many years the central point of the naval and Caat isereial resources of Russia in the Black Sea. There were to be found at the ante time anorak and dockyards. Sebastopol and Nioolaieff successively deprived it of its importance as a military establishment. Later it was abandoned by nem mere* in favour of Wein, and its population, which once comprised from 16,000 to 18,000 souls, fell to 6 , 000 or 8,000. Whereon his no other importance than that of being situated on the high road which leads from the centre of the empire to Perekop. The Par expresses itself on the same subject in the following terms ; The te:egreph leads es to believe that the allkd fleets are at this moment at anchor in the depths of the mouth of the Dnieper. The distance from that point to }thereon le but 16 leagues. Is it the intention of the allied admirals to press on towards that town f We are unable to reply, but the mouths of the Dnieper offer two or three principal breathe", of which the medium depth is item 22 to 25 English feet. At Kherson the river is one mile broad and 60 feet in depth, and it would be no small triumph to de atroy the creation of Potemkin, which would disperse its 12,000 inhabitants, and would transform into rains its dock yards, arsenals, barracks, and magasiore. It must not be overlooked that the capture of Oteliskoff by the allies would open the road by land to Nicolaieff, and the former town is, in the opinion of the Moniteur, ramble to off-r any serious resistance. The first success at Kiebnrs [militates every other enterprise in that direction, and will keep in check all the Ruffian forme scattered over the country from Odessa to Perekop." A letter from Bt. Petersburg, in the Hamburg New, says : The last sews from Nioolaieff, to the 8.6, &anomie's that the Emperor will not proceed to Odessa as he intended, bet wal remain at Nicalaieff until the movements and ultimate objects of the allied fleets in the Black Sea are positively known.

At 1 p.m. this afternoon the Doke of Wellington and Merlin left for Ledsund, and from thence the ad miral goes to Stockholm, to all on the King of Sweden, and expects to return to this anchorage in • week from hear*. The Seeker squadron returns to this anchorage on the 20th, and the admiral goes with this portion of the fleet to Kiel. Winter has now made its appearance, the thermometer having fallen since yesterday 10 degrees, with a strong north east wind, which is very likely to continue, and which will expedite frosty weather. The only thing going on in the fleet is a constant growl and dialed,- faction amongst the masters, who have sot had any recompense for their arduous exertions at Sweaborg. Who laid the anchors of the mortar vessels out, and were op all night hauling them into position, but tl e masters of the Exmouth, Enryalns, Vulture, Dragon, and Magicienne P The same officers, after the bom bardment was over, were sent at night to weigh the same anchors and haul the mortar vessels out of range ; and what have they got ? Nothing. Had these men been lieutenants of the same servitude as they have semesters and second masters, they would I now have been all commanders. Bat as long as the muter line exists it will be the same—the most neg lected, though the most responsible, class of officers in the naval service. Who will, there fore, take up their cause P No one, except the public prints, who can show to the country the injustice of our Admiralty in not taking notice of those valuable officers. Some of the lien tenants were in their beds while the masters were assisting in the work which they (the lieutenants) derive the benefit of by being made commanders. 1 October 16.—The Bulldog arrived last night with mails from Dantsic, and left this morning to join the Commander-in-Chief at Ledaund. The Dugongs', French line of battle ship, leaves to-day for issm, and it is expected the French admiral will soon fol. low. A quantity of snow has been seen on the hills, and the weather continues very cold, with north easterly winds. October 18.—The Vulture left this evening with the mails for Dantsio. After she . passed Nargen Lighthouseshe fell in with the Driver, from Led. send, with the admiral's despatches. It was then blowing very hard from the westward. Admiral Dundee on Monday last went up to Bomarsuod, to look at what Sir Charles accomplished last year, and was to leave on Wednesday for Nargen; and es soon u Admiral Seymour, with has squadron, arrives from &akar, the Commander-in-Chief goes to Kiel, where he intends remaining for about three weeks, and then goes to Spithesd.

H.M off &air, Oat. 12. The glorious news of the fall of Seb astopol was received by the crews of our ships here with rounds of &sere, tad the greateet enthusiasm prevailed amongst oar jolly tare. Oa the day that the news arrived, salutes of 21 guns were fired from each vessel, and the bands played the national airs of France and England. There is not much news to report to-day. We have been lying off here so long doing nothing, since our return from Sweeborg, that we are heartily sick of this glorious inactivity, and are looking forward with great longing for the arrival of the order to return tl Kiel and thenos to England. All the gunboats and mortar vessels are gone, and most of the block ships also, so that our squadron is reduced to the line-of battle ships alone. Last week two of our cruisers that were sent up to keep a watch on the movements of the Russians succeeded in capturing, off Cronstadt, six Russian schooners, and brought them, with the whole of their crews, to this anchorage, where they were placed at the disposal of Sir Michael Seymour. SWEDEN. (110 K ova OWN COSZISPONMINT) STOCKHOLM, Oat. 17. Scarcely has a week elapsed since the return of Baron Ented-Hondo from biz secret mission to Paris, when now Admiral Virgin has undertaken a diplo matic journey, the real object of which is studiously kept a secret, but it is generally believed that he also gone to Paris, and it is added that be is the bearer of the King's ultimatum as to the conditions he requires as the price of his throwing up his neu trality and joining the Western Powers in the pro. sent= of the war. Such a step would not fail to make him very popular, and it would be receivcd with the greatest enthusiasm throughout the whole of the Scandinavian peninsula. Admiral Virgin was last year for a short time Swedish Envoy Extraordi nary in London. As captain in the navy he com manded the frigate Eugeoie, of 44 guns, in her three years' scientific circumnavigation of the globe (1848 to 1860). At the present moment there are lying in this port about thirty decked and open Russian craft of different sizes, which have broken the blockade and crossed over from the °oast of Fathonia, bringing cargoes of cow, potatoes, hops, hemp,and tallow, to barter tor that precious article of consumption in Russia alt. They buy this article here for 6 dollars per barrel, and state that if they return home in safety they shall sell it at 30 dollars, t h is realising SOO par cent. The captains report that on their voyage across they saw nothing of the British and French cruisers. The winter is now fast approachiog in this country. The mountains are already covered with snow; at Odle the frost set in so far back as the 4th inst.. and the thermometer here, even at mid-day, is but very little above the freezing point. (MOIL OVZ owl COZZIISPOZDINT.) COPSNSAGEN, Oar. 18. Although it was no secret that the King bad con tracted a morganatic marriage with a former milliner of the name of Lola Rasmussen, whom be hes elevated to the rank of Countess Banner, yet that step had never been publicly or officially madi known. It therefore caused great sensation when the Ring, at the court and levee he held on his birthday at the pekoe of Chrietiansborg in this city, caused her to be present, and presented to her the foreign ambassadors, requesting the latter to notify his marriage to their respective courts. On new year's day she is to be elevated to the rank of Duchess. Her antecedents and former mode of life bad better be passed over in silence. Yesterday the Leg held a grand sitting of the Privy Council of the State, after which all the ministers received honours. The Premier and Minister of the Interior, Bang, is created President of the Council; the ministers, Col. Von Lfittichau (war), Roasted (Schleswig), Simony (justice), Col. von Andres (Seances), and Hall (callus), are invested with the Grand Cross of the Danoebrog Order, and Captain Miebelsen (naval minister) is created a Chamberlain. The ostensible object of these honours, so lavishly bestowed, is to commemorate the happy (P) inauguration of the new constitution for the whole monarchy, foe the ministers have been but a few mouths in Matte, and during that period have certainly done nothing to merit in particular such a shower of the royal favour. A new pamphlet, entitled "The Hereditary Prince, the Fifth Paragraph of the Constitutiori for the whole Monarchy, and its coneeqessom," from the pen of a well-kaewn writer, the Baron Dirkicek. Holmfeldt, bee just been published here, in which the aatbor eedsavoars to explaia the refusal of the prince to acknowledge and sign the constitution, as consider ing himself so Ipso the next in succession to the throe., without being booed to recognise the condi :ions imposed cc him, as such, by the 6th paragraph, which is as follows: "Previous to the accession of the King to the reins of government, he is bound to deliver to the Privy Coattail of State, in writing, his assurance on oath to observe, without failure and without reserve, the con stitutional laws of the Magda°, both with respect to the joint affairs of the whole united monarchy and the separate affairs affecting only the single compo nent parts of the kingdom. This act of assuranos ie to be preserved by the Coattail of State engage the archivcs of the kingdom. should the King be pre vented by absence, illness, or other causes, from im mediately taking the oath required, the affairs of government will be carried on in the King's name by the Privy Council of State, till such time as the King shall have fulfilled the above•mentioned conditions, unless they shall have been altered by a subsequent law." me foi thi tit gel oft Gel de, up thi isi ha eh,
