It I was not merely that the Allied squadrons sue cee, led in rendering a strong fortification on which gr( At exr (ense and labour was lavishly employed, ui itenabb 3—that they could do if enabled to come v. ithin roasonable distance—but the enemy had 1 nanifestly placed considerable reliance on the shallowness of the water, which, as they vainly suppose( I, would prevent the larger class of vessels from ini ;offering in the contest. They were, how ever, bi tterly disappointed. Sir E. LYONS ex tended NELSON'S axiom, "that where there was water bar an enemy's ship to swing at anchor, there loas also room for an English vessel of equal size to float beside her." He made his calculations so nicely that the steam line-of-battle sh i ps an d frigates were enabled to participate in the bombardment, although, in some instances, there were but two feet of water under their keels i This is a remark able feature in the transaction, deserving of pe culiar notice, and which has perhaps never been i paralleled in the annals of naval warfare. The line has frequently been drawn very close, but never within our recollection so exceedingly fine as on the present occasion, and it is to that judi cious and well-calculated bravery that we are in debted for the completeness of our comparatively bloodless triumph. There is nothing, literally nothing, to prevent the occasion from being fully improved. Our only fear is with respect to the instructions from "My Lords." If Sir EDMUND LYONS and his coadjutors be left to themselves, and permitted to act in accordance with their own judgment and enterprise, Nicolaieff will be completely destroyed, the Portsmouth of Southern Russia will be ren dered incapable of producing substitutes for the fleet now blocking up the bay of Sebastopol ; and Kherson, the storehouse of the Crimea, can no longer supply the wants of its starving army. The important co-operation of the land troops can also be obtained. There is an admirable military road betwen the towns, which would admit of any movements of troops that may seem desirable, and the possession whereof would completely cut off the communication between them. While so much has been accomplished in the Euxine, we look with greater regret—a stronger term may possibly be applicable—to what sports men would term the " blank season" in the Baltic. There the most powerful fleet that ev©r sailed from a British port has enjoyed inglorious ease. It certainly made the Rus sian ships stay at home, and prevented them from enjoying many excursions during the summer, but a much smaller force would have done the same thing, and could, perhaps, have given a better account of Sweaborg than is within the power of Admiral DUNDAS to render. We cannot record our complete approbation of half measures, and although willing to make ample allowance for the deplorable deficiency of gun-boats and mortar-vessels, we cannot see but that the work well begun might have been properly finished. Besides there were many other points inviting attack, even if Cronstadt was " too strong," or that Helsingfors, like Odessa, should be spared. We will not, however, blame Admiral DUNDAS. We believe that the party really responsible is much nearer home, and that Sir CHAREES WOOD is the person who will have to account for and explain the inactivity of the Baltic Fleet. It is due to Admiral DUNDAS that the matter should be fully investigated, so that he should not be unnecessarily or improperly made the scapegoat on whose devoted head the sins of the clique at Whitehall should be visited, or be sacrificed to shield the scanty remnant of the unenviable reputation of the political " Jack of all trades"—who has in turn tried his hand at financial, Indian, and naval affairs, and proved himself the veriest botch in each and all. Our great contemporary, who seems deeply affronted whenever its own correspondent is not admitted to the secrets of a Council of War in the Crimea, or when a Cabinet Minister at home does not appoint and recal Commanders-in-chief at its bidding, is now busy in denouncing the Ministe rial autocracy of the recess, and in stringing to gether a breviary of prayers for information, which can be granted only by a Minister in his place in Parliament. But for the physical necessities of our jaded legislators we could not, at the end of summer, as our readers may remember, reconcile ourselves to a recess at all. We could have wished for short adjournments only, and for frequent opportunities for Ministerial explanations and com munications. Usage, however, and the plea of members' health, with the necessity of attending to field sports, and other agreeable duties, carried the day, as a matter of course. Lords and Com mons were emancipated ; Lord PALMERSTON left to himself and the CODURGS ; Sir C. Wool) to make a splendid ruin of the combustible part of Sweaborg, that it might by next spring become an incombustible and indestructible fortress ; and Lord PANMITRE to adjust as he best could the Floise•Guards' demand for routine and promotion for birth or money, and the public demand for promotion by merit. It seems little likely now that a winter session will be vouchsafed ; but what would the country say to a winter election instead? The present Parlia ment was chosen to settle the Free-Trade and Pro tection question; it is naturally, therefore, about the most unfit conceivable to superintend questions of War and foreign policy. It is no expression of the national mind on those subjects. We do not mean that it may not represent roughly the views of its constituents, but it does not do it authoritatively. It is surely time that the nation itself should utter its opinion in the constitutional way. Individual speakers, among t h e num b ers who on all kinds of occasions seem constrained to adverb to the War, seem pretty fairly, by the cheers they elicit to un veil the mind of the people ; the Press also may naturally enough be judged t o b e i n h armony with the sentiments of the va s t newspaper read ing majority. Indeed, when it i s net so, " Mr. Editor" is sure of an ample supply of antagonistic and l e tters from " Constant Readers" and others, A - many of these of such a character forability and honesty as no respectable Editor even w i s h es to exclude. Yet letters on the War, hostile to the general tone of th e Press, are but few i ndeed. Still there are ono o r two great speaker s w h o revile the Press as not reall y representin g t he mind of the nation which su pports it. Is it no t time, then, that the country should express itself unequivocally ? We have now had almost two years' experience of the War ; w© allby know mo re or l ess o f th e g eneral bearings of the this time i whole question. We are competent as a country to send the ri g ht men , or suc h as we think so, to the right place. The CZAR, the King of Pituss") and the oppressor cf Lombardy and Hungary, would know for certain the temper of the English nation, and the position which its Ministry must take. The Peace Party would have full opportunity to plead their cause with their constituencies, and the Peelites would understand how far their desertion was approved by the public. There is one domestic question, too, which ought not to be shuffled with or evaded longer. We mean the Bank Charter. It •ought• to be settled, once for all, whether the great principle DEATH OF SIR WM. MOLESWORTH It is with deep regret that we have to an nounce the melancholy intelligence of the death of the flight Hon. Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTII, her Majesty's Principal Se,cretary of State for the Colonial Department. A very formidable attack of peritonitis was, we believe, the immediate cause of this deplorable event. There is, however, but too much reason to fear that the devoted and indefatigable attention which he bestowed on the duties of his office greatly accelerated, if it did not occasion, the melancholy event. The attack set in with such terrible force that from the first moment of advice being taken, but little hope remained of the recovery of the distinguished patient. It would be a sad catastrophe .at any time, but it is peculiarly so at the present time, when the assistance of every true-hearted Englishman was required. The Colonies will also have abundant reason to lament the premature death of a Statesman who had studied their condition closely, and was thoroughly earnest in his desire to ren der complete justice to our dependencies in every quarter of the globe, and to do all in his power to develope their resources. Men of all classes an d conditions will feel the mag nitude of the c alamit y , and sy mpathise with his bereaved family, who have sus t a i ned a loss in every res p ect so i rreparable. In our impression of Saturday we briefly alluded to the important achievement, of which official intelligence had just been received—which placed one of the pillars of the strongly-guarded gate to Nicolaieff and to Kherson, the chief ar senal and granary of Southern. Russia, in our hands. The brilliant and important exploit was most judiciously managed, so that our triumph was unalloyed by any serious loss. Three forts, 1,500 prisoners, and 70 guns are the immediate results of the operation. But .far greater rewards await us if we only follow up our successes fairly, and seek to obtain the legitimate fruits of the good seed so carefully sown. We now command the estuary of the Boug and Dnieper, completely cut off the sea entrance to the greatest stations still remaining to Russia, from which she has hitherto been enabled to provide the army of the Crimea with men, provisions, and the munitions of But this is only an infinitesimal portion of the substantial advantages of the tram action. It is the valuable position which we vec upy, and which enables us to turn against Russia the formidable weapon she has so fre quently resorted to and with such striking effects. Kinbourn may now be regarded as a standing menace to Nicolaieff and to Kherson, while the maritime commerce of the entire districts watered by th e Bone-, the ancient boundary of Russia, and the Dnieper, is hermetically sealed up. These magnificent "silent highways" are now compara tively useless to Russia, and all its produce must be transported by laud carriage. It is unneces sary to expatiate on the enormous difficulties and embarrassment which must necessarily be occa sioned by this serious privation, which must be continued so long as Kinbourn is occupied by the Allied troops, and protected by an Allied Fleet ! The manner in which this brilliant exploit Was accomplished must materially enhance the gratill- . cation with which the glad tidings will be received. war. - THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22, 1855. vantage of the nation, while the farmer and his family kept themselves ; and that, while the mar riage of a farmer's daughter was pretty much her own and her family's concern, the marriage of a Royal Princess might, after all, be an affair in which the nation was concerned. The newspapers might be right in their " abominable" interference. Marriages of farmers' daughters extended family interests, which were not always identical with parish or national interests, as they well knew. Why should Royal marriages not be expected to extend Royal interests which before now had not been identical with the interests of the people ? If far mer Honor's daughter married the parish overseer wouldn't farmer HOWE be disposed to help the youth with his accounts and get him out of scrapes, and if a Prince in a free country had his daughter married to a Prince in a despotic one wouldn't he be inclined to help his son-in-law in his scrapes with his subjects, and to lend him what counte nance he could ? And if he did, was it not likely to be at the people of the free country's expense, if that was possible ? And was it not ? Could he not find tools to aid him, and means to put them into a position to do so Men who would bamboozle the nation while they betrayed. it, and while affecting to be humane and patriotio would be sedulously turning the tide of good fortune into "our son-in-law's" way, to the impoverish ment of the population at home, and the decima tion, possibly, of an army abroad. Unquestion ably he might. And hadn't the papers been com plaining of something of the kind lately. Such, we may suppose, were the reflections -that caused the disappointment that set Mr. DRUMMOND so bitterly, and with so many contortions, on another tack ; and if they were, they did our agricultural friends credit. of Free Trade shall apply to money or not. Whether a giant monopoly shall 901 be at the head of the Money Market, or all banks stand upon the same footing. Whether we shall be condemned or not to carry sovereigns in our purses, although, like our neighbours across the Tweed, we may prefer one-pound notes. Whether, if there is to be but one sort of paper enjoying the privilege of being legal tender it shall be Government paper, the nation reaping the benefit of the transaction, or that of a clique of interested proprietors ? Whether Government shall not conduct its banking account on the same simple and well-defined principles as any commercial house ; or whether, indeed, Government shall not be its own banker ? It will be a deep disgrace to a commercial nation like ours if these great questions be not now fully discussed, their bearings made evident to all, and the right course honestly settled for ever. To us the main point appears to be as simple as the principle of Free Trade itself. But not to dogmatise, or even to argue now, it is time to decide the monetary principles which shall guide us, and with this before us all, the leading men on this subject however diverse their opinions, should have a place in the Legislature. The War is, of course, more in most men's thoughts than the currency ; and how supremely important are the questions now opening to the public view. Ere long the winter must stop all important operations ; we earnestly hope not till Kherson, Nicolaieff, and Odessa are deprived of their power to barrack and feed a Russian army ; and with winter will come, in all probability, Prussian, Austrian, and Coburg intriguings for a despots' peace. Well, if the nation has pronounced beforehand, by its elections, what kind of a peace it will tolerate. Most probably, perhaps, the CZAR will neither wish, nor be able to ask for peace, while Warsaw and Cronstadt are untouched. We hope he will not ; but then we do need an election which will compel Ministers to give up the detested Hapsburgs and Hohenzollerns ; which will bid them prefer Scandinavia and Poland, as allies, to the neutral hostility of the despotic Ger man Courts, and convert the War into one for driving Russia out of all her much-abused and nefarious conquests, and restoring the nationalities to their long-trampled-on rights. Premiers, cx or in, may, and do, deride the cause of the people abroad as a missionary crusade ; but an election might tell them that this nation sympathises not with courts, but with nations ; that it cares not a straw for " Russian honour," and for what is miscalled Russian territory ; but that it does care for the honour of European civilisation and liberty, in its conflict with Asiatic barbarism and despotism ; and cares very much that territory, which the wicked Congress of Vienna gave to Russia, or left in her hands, should return to its rightful owners. We believe the verdict of the election would be, " emancipate Sweden, Ger many, and Denmark, as well as Turkey ; the Baltic as well as the Black Sea, and then we may reasonably hope for growing popular liberty, and 'or permanent peace." It has come at last ! The turn, we mean, of ilr. DRUMMOND. Better late than never. An autumnal political curriculum without a lecture of his would, as everybody knows, be somewhat " flat and stale," however profitable. The jingle of the cap and bells, the play of impudent grimace, and the flow of " pestilent" buffoonery —welcome all of them ! Welcome nonsense— welcome " half-and-half "—welcome censure, flat tery,:ltild slander, pure or adulterated--welcome the latest instalment of the best thousand and one manifestation of morbid vanity and apostolic in fallibility extant. Welcome, thrice welcome, Mr. DRUMMOND ! After the heady wines of his pre decessors, his brisk bottled pop can do us no ' harm, but may relieve us of the headache. We have fairly earned a little relaxation ; let us enjoy it. We are, or suppose ourselves to be, which is perhaps quite as good, at the annual dinner of the Chertsey Agricultural Association for the en couragement of deserving farm servants and agri cultural labourers. The cloth is removed, and we have time to gaze on our agricultural friends in Chertsey, and to rejoice in their well-to-do appearance and looks of cheery good-fellowship. Barely, for the " watch of his wit " being already wound up, off goes our versatile friend as the " apostle of the LORD " on the claims of " the LORD'S anointed." Presto ! and with a fine sense of the appropriate, and a relevancy really surpris ing, apart from the mode of treatment, he dis courseth on matrimony ! The gentlemen of the agricultural interest look amazed—after such a proem, to be told that " the Royal Family was nothing more nor less than like the family of any farmer now hearing him." They are propitiated a little, however, and have begun to think him " a funny fellow," when their attention is arrested by a perplexing question. "He should like to know what any one in the room would say if an impertinent neighbour (Mrs. GRUNDY to wit), OR learning that a young man had fallen in love with his (the farmer's) daughter, were to turn round and remark that it was a very improper mar riage." The cautious parents of bouncing young ladies look down at this and murmur indistinctly, " Why, that would depend upon circumstances," as the likeness of some fine sprout of ruddy hu manity in their service passes before them. But no time is allowed them for deliberation, for an other question, and a leading one, is propounded. " Would he not instantly tell such a meddler to hold his tongue and mind his own business ?" " Parients" still in a state of dubiety. Some sort of an answer is, however, expected, so one if not two of the least reflecting " hear, hears," and an agricultural young waiter, incontinently laughs. The speaker is encouraged, and, with imposing dignity, remarks—" He asked simply that the same degree of forbearance should be evinced to wards the domestic affairs of the Royal Family as a man in the position of a farmer had a right to claim." The farmers, who are loyal to a man, and stick by their rights, fancying this should be a clincher, look grave. He (Mr. DRUMMOND) looked upon any interference with the matrimonial affairs of the Royal Family as " a most abominable act—(a gentleman in black shaketh his head, and the waiter looks virtuous indignation)-_ and" inexorable logic ! "if they (the meet ing) would not suffer such meddling by s trangers with their affairs, upon the same prin ciple th ey ought not to allow it in the affairs of others," an d down sits the versatile speaker to prepare f or another change, with a " Hear, hear, " from the p arson, and a jingling of glasses as his reward. We by no means wonder at his disappointment, however much we are grie ve d b y it. It was no t the sort of nonsense suited for his a u dien c e. It waydangerous matter, and they could not laugh at, or assent t o , -it— muc h, isinnedeveotelidvie,eid'i to in one point of view, to the credit of their plain blunt good sense. They were not to be made merry with what they did not like, and if he was serious they were not to be hoaxed. They had some glimmering that there was a serious difference between the two cases—that the Royal Family was kept by the taxes of the nation, for the ad- PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT, ( From a Supplement to Friday's Gazette.)

The Oesterreichische Corresponden, -, asserts, on the authority of a telegraphic communication from Odessa of the 17th, that at the same time that the allied fleets attacked Kinburn 30,000 meu were landed on the Peninsula of Tendra. Nothing certain was known of the destination of these troops. Tendra is a long spit of land a little west of Perekop. The Emperor Francis Joseph has returned from Iscbzl.

ATHENS, OCT. 13. The Allied Ambassadors have refused to recog- nixed the new Ministry. THE CRIMEA. Accounts from the Crimea to the 11th reached Vienna on the 16th, via Varna. According to these despatches it was thought that a grand en counter between the two armies would take place about the 20th (this day), for it appeared quite im possible that the Russians were able to prevent the French from advancing against Bakshi-Serai. Gen. Gortschakoff had therefore only the alternative of either accepting a battle, or making a retrograde movement behind the Belbek, to endeavour to reachSimpheropol. The journals trace out also numerous plans of campaign, all probably as pro blematical as the news of a great battle on a fixed day. They also speak of an account said to have been received, in a letter from Bucharest of the 9th, of the appearance of a number of gun-boats belonging to the combined fleet, off Ismail. The bombardment of that strongly-fortified place of Bessarabia is said by that account to have com menced. The journals, however, add that this news has nothing of an official character in it, and we can ourselves say that letters have reached Paris from Bucharest of the 9th, which are silent on this subject. We read in the Post-Ampt Gazette :—" Accounts have been received from Odessa to the 14th. Up to the 12th gun-boats and transports full of troops were daily joining the fleet. Great uncertainty still prevails ai to the object of the expedition ; and no one can help feeling that in consequence of the most recent movements made by Marshal Pelis sier, it has become impossible for the Russian troops to move from their central positions of Odessa, Nicolaieff, Kherson, Perekop, and the points which they occupy in the interior of the Crimea. For this reason the persons near the Emperor have approved of the measure recently adopted by General Gortschakoff of removing part of the troops which had been posted near Mackenzie's farm into the valley of Bakshi-Serai. This movement was tho more necessary as Marshal Pelissier had succeeded, although with great diffi culty, in getting up 120 pieces of artillery on the heights of Tchuliu, in order to support his opera tions in the Valley of the Baidar. It is probable that Marshal Pelissier, when master of his position, may send considerable reinforcements to Eupatoria, so as to bring up the force at that place to 60,000 men." SURRENDER OF KINBURN. FRENCH OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. Yesterday's Moniteur contains the following de spatches, in which Admiral Bruat narrates the facts attending the surrender of Kinburn to the Allied fleets : The Minister of Marine has received from Ad miral Bruat the following despatches : " KINBURN, OCT. 17. _ " The fort of Kinburn and the new works erected on this peninsuli are in our power. Our loss is un important. "KINBURN, OCT. 17. "On the morning of the 14th of 'October the squadron left the roadstead of Odessa as soon as the heavy easterly winds, which had checked their operations since the Bth of Oct., had ceased. In the evening of the same day they anchored off Kinburn. "In the night four French gun-boats—the Ti railleuse, Stridente, Meurtriere, and Mutine—sent by Rear-Admiral Pellion, under the orders of Lieu teuant Allemand, of the Cacique sailed, with five English gun-boats, through the pass of Otscha kow, and entered the Dneiper. "The next day, Oct. 15, at daybreak, the troops were landed at about 4,500 metres from the place to the south of it. In the afternoon the bomb ketches opened their fire ; but they were obliged to suspend it when night fell, on account of the swell, which rendered the aim uncertain. " The entire day of the 16th was nearly lost for us, as the winds had veered round to the south west. The troops were occupied in entrenching themselves and making reconnaissances towards the south. The gun-boats in the Dnieper were alone able to annoy the place. "The wind having shifted to the north during the night, we were engaged early in the morning, Admiral Lyons and myself, in causing to be put into execution the plan of attack arranged on the previous evening, agreeably to the soundings taken by Captain Spratt, of the Spitfire, and Lieutenant Clone, of the Brandon, assisted by Messrs. Ploix and Manen, hydrographic engineers. At twenty ' minutes past nine the three floating batteries, the Devastation, Lave, and Tonnante, opened their fire. " The success they obtained on this day has an swered all the hopes of the Emperor. The ram part they battered presented very speedily and on several points practicable breaches. " The French and English mortar vessels opened their fire at 45 minutes past nine. Their aim, rectified by the signals of the paddle steamers, was most admirably directed. I attribute to them in a great measure the quick surrender of the place. " The five French gun-boats, the Grenada, Fleche, Mitraille, Flamme, and Alarme, sustained by six English gun-boats, took up their positions nearly at the same time as the mortar vessels. Their aim ricochetted very advantageously the open batteries (a barbette), which were contending against the floating batteries. As soon as the firing of the place had slackened, our gun-boats advanced, at the signal given by the Captain of the Grenada, M. Jaureguiberry, to the line formed by the floating batteries. They were accompanied in this movement by the English gun boats. "Precisely at noon, the ships, followed by the frigates' corvettes, and paddle-steamers, got up steam. Tho ships formed on a front line ; they cast anchor and lay with their broadsides to the forts at a distance of 1,600 metres in 261 feet of water. At the same moment, six English frigates commanded by Rear-Admiral Stewart, and three French frigates under the orders of Rear-Admiral Pellion, the Asmodee, Cacique, and Sane, made for the pass of 0 tschakow in order to take the forts of Kinburn in the rear. The English ship, the Hannibal, advanced to the middle of this pass. Generals Bazaine and Spencer brought up their riflemen and field pieces to about 400 metres from the place. " These bold manoeuvres and the imposing front presented by the nine French and English ships, broadsides on and bowsprit to stern, thundering with all their guns, had a decisive effect. At thirty-five minutes past one, observing that the fort of Kinburn fired no longer, although the northern works continued still to make use of their mortars, Admiral Lyons and myself thought it right to respect the courage of the brave fellows we were fighting against; consequently we made the signal to cease firing, and hoisted the flag of truce, sending a French boat and an English one on shore. "The forts accepted the capitulation offered. The garrison left the place with the honours of war and gave themselves up as prisoners. Our troops occupy all the Russian works. "The capitulation stipulated that the plc should be given up to us in the state it was then in. We take possession, therefore, of the enemy's stores and munitions. Admiral Lyons and myself are sending the surgeons of the two squadrons to tend the Russian wounded, numbering about eighty. " The number of prisoners is from twelve to fifteen hundred. We are going to occupy our selves with forming hero a solid establishment." DESCRIPTION OF KINBURN. Yesterday's Moriteur contains the following " The wate: s of the Bug and the Dnieper de °ouch into the sea by a single branch. After formir,g a lake, where they blend, the two rivers flow together, between. Otschakow on the north, and Kinburn on the south, through a narrow channel of variable depth (15 feet the minimum), much nearer Kinburn than Otschakow. " Otschakow, on the right shore, is built on the top of a cliff of middling height, advancing . in an acute angle straight to the south, and throwing out , a low flat on w hi c h r i ses a f or t o f G enoese origi n, in a very dilapidated state. A battery of nine guns of large calibre, recently erected on the cliff out side the channel, taking it in enfilade, but at a long range, completes the defence of this side, without presenting any serious obstacles. "It is on the left shore, on the tongue of sand formed by the alluvial deposits of the two rivers, that the citadel of Kinburn is built, commanding the passage much nearer, as its guns act both out side and inside, constituting in a word the sole de fence of the mouth of the Dnieper. " The citadel of Kinburn is a hornwork of masonry, with earthen parapets, surrounded by a moat wherever it is not washed by the sea, con taining barracks and other buildings, the roofs and chimneys of which are visible above the rampart. 1 It is armed in all its faces, having one tier of guns covered and casemated, which tier is crowned by a battery a barbette, the whole possibly presenting some sixty guns, half of which sweep the sea out side, from the south-east to north-north-west. " Kinburn has the war-flag always flying, the sign of armament, and contains a garrison of two thousand men, not including the military colonists settled outside, in a village regularly built,, to the south, and within range of the fort guns. Two fresh batteries were lately erected to the north west of the fortress." .4sahi.: THE ALLIED ARMIES. (From the Times' ,Correspondent.) CAMP OF THE ALLIED ARMIES ON THE TCHER NAYA, Oct. 7.—Favoured by the most beautifu weather, the expedition to the north sailed this morning from Kamiesh, which had been chosen as the general rendezvous for starting. The embar kation took place partly in Balaklava, partly in Kazatch Bay. The time of starting was kept as secret as every thing else connected with this expedition. The order was for everybody to be on board on Satur day, at 2 o'clock p.m. The rumours circulated by the German papers, which seem to have originated in Europe the idea that the Russians were preparing to leave the Crimea, seem rather suspicious, considering the sources from whence they come, principally as they are not confirmed by the actual movements of the enemy. Large camps are still seen on the plateaux opposite to us, and the country up to the head of the Belbek is still occupied by them. In connection with the expedition to Oczakoff, another is talked of from Kertch towards Genitchi and the head of the Tchongar road recently con structed by the Russians. This road leadi from Perekop over the old road going round the northern shore of the Sea of Azoff down to Kunnille ; here it branches off to the Genitchi road, passing the villages of Kiutshu, Buraki, Oclii, Kashkishken, and Taroshik. At the neck of the peninsula of Tchongar the new road begins ; it crosses the peninsula in its whole length, and leaves it again where its southernmost point makes a bend to the east. By a bridge of 171 Russian fathoms in length it goes over to the peninsula opposite, and runs by Kirk, Bakush, Osmak, Kitoi, Turkan-Surrak, Kirleut, Chokrali,Ax, Schambalde, and Kadaga, to Kopchak. At Sheik-eli it enters the road from Perekop to Karsa-su-Bazaar, but leaves it again at Konrat, and then goes by Tashli-Dair, Barau, Itak,. Akesh, K. Kabash, Bulatch, Bailar, Kermashi, Binten, down to Ispat, where it crosses the Salghir, following from Bulatch the old Perekop road, passes Tshounk, and there unites at Karakiat with the great Perekop road. The distances are from Perekop to the Tchongar bridge 18 hours, the Tartar travelling hour being about the same as the Turkish one, that is three English miles ; from Kashkishken to the bridge there are three hours, from the bridge to Snnphero pol 20 hours, from the bridge to Kara-su- Bazaar the same. At Genitchi there are two ferry boats, each able to contain 24 arabas, which keep up the communication between the spit and the main land. The Turkish Contingent is said to be destined for Kertch, and is supposed that it has arrived. _ TUESDAY, Oct. 9. On the Sebastopol side of our line (for now there is no more front and rear as when the siege was going on) everything remains in statu quo. The Russians are still busy throwing up entrench ments on every available spot of the north side of the harbour. The siege guns have nearly all been removed from both our and the French lines, as well as the platforms, gabions, and fascines. The French have even begun to throw down again their old trenches. Roadmakina is progressing favourably. On the Tchernaya line drilling is the order of the day, and target shooting. It seems the Highlanders will winter on the spot where they are. The material for their huts has arrived, and they have set to work. The Turkish artillery, which hitherto has occupied the spot where these huts are to be erected, have been re moved a little further, and the digging has now be gun. The two battalions of the Ist Royals, who are destined to form part of the second brigade of the Highland division, have come up likewise, and are encamped a little below Kamara. The Sardinians are likewise still busy with hutting. Another Turkish regiment has left in the Great Britain for Asia. Part of the English medical staff went likewise in her to Souchum Kaleh, whence they must find their way to Sinope. I went the other day over the French position beyond Baidar. The road leading np from Ourkuska is nearly finished. You can overlook from the heights the banks of the Upper Belbek. The Rus sians have abandoned a kind of intrenched camp, which they had constructed on this side of it, but they send occasionally cavalry over, and while I was there I could see plainly about four squadrons in a field near the river side, and some suspicious-look ing objects which seemed very much like guns, although it was impossible to make them out clearly with my glass. The French nearly every day make reconnaissances in the direction of Aito dor, and towards the river, but without meeting with any considerable force of the enemy. The Light Cavalry Brigade, although under or ders for embarkation, have not yet done so, but a battery of horse artillery, Capt. Thomas's, went on board yesterday at Balaklava. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY, No news has reached to-day from the Crimea. Private letters, written by officers of the French army, state that the Russians will avoid as much as possible giving battle in or out of their entrenched positions. Some of those officers are even of opinion that Prince Gortschakoff, seeing no possibility of keeping his communications open and regularly re ceiving supplies, was actually preparing to evacuate the Crimea. A confidential letter, addressed by the Russian General-in-Chief to Prince Paskewitch, at Warsaw, is said to mention such a movement as probable, if not unavoidable. Important news is expected here before many days are over from the Crimea. Despatches which have reached the French Government announce that Marshal Pelissier and General Simpson have commenced great operations. The two important decrees which have just ap peared in the Moniteur, allowing timber and the other matters generally employed in shipbuildine , to be imported into France and Algeria on the pay ment° of a duty of 10 per cent., calls forth the fol lowing remarks from the Courrier du Havre : " This is such a decision as was to be expected from the Government of the Emperor, for no Government ever understood better the wants of the country. It knows that the navy is destined to become one of the most considerable forces of France, and that, conse quently, it has need of all the development that can be given it. These two decrees satisfy all the demands, and all the hopes that commercial men in France have entertained for many years back. This great measure will, abov e all, prove profitable to Havre, so admirably situated for receiving cargoes of the kind spoken of. But all the ports of France, and consequently all the com merce of the empire, will be benefitted by the measure in t a very decid e d d egree . Thi s measure of the Government is an im mense s t ep i n th e path to freetratdhee, Emperor iesrnarn,s other proof of the great attention which Government pays, not onlyttote nationgeneralh e with r inter e e s s p t e o n f t th tn e country, but to the glory of the the other countries of the world. Count de Morny, President Body, has just received fromthoefStubletanij,egtihsrlaotuigvhe the hands of the Turkish ambassador, the insignia of the Imperial Order of the Medjidie of the firs class. BOURSE, OCT. 20, Two o'Clock.—A telegraphic, despatch, confirming the news of the fall of Kin burn, produced a favourable feeling at the opening of the market. The Three per Cents. obtained a slight rise to 64f. 40c. The Mobilier advanced to 1200 f., and there was a general improvement of 10f and 15f. on Ratway Shares ; but as the monetary crisis continues to excite uneasiness, prices soon receded, and the Threes are now quoted at from 64f. 25c. to 64f. 30c. Half-past Three.—The prices of the Rentes looked up at the end of the market. There was a report that Marshal Pelissier had begun active operations in the Crimea.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 11th, says : It would appear that the Emperor has not proceeded to the Crimea as had been announced, for letters from Nicolaieff, of the 2d, state that his Majesty on that day reviewed some troops in that place. The appearance of the allied fleet off Odessa evidently determined the Emperor to remain longer at Nicolaieff than he at first intende' A letter from Berlin, of the 17th, in the Con, stitutionnel, says :—" The Emperor Alexander, on leaving for the south, gave the most pressing and imperative orders for the completion of the fortifications of Kiew. This fact would ap pear like a proof that fears were again entertained in Russia, of Austria taking part in the war. With respect to affairs appertaining to Prussia the army of that country has just offered to the King, for the 50th anniversary of his entrance into its ranks, a magnificent sabre, the hilt of which is of solid gold. It was presented to his Majesty by a number 1 1 of general officers, at the head of whom was the i Prince of Prussia. The Queen was present at the ceremony, as chief of a regiment of cuirassiers, and wore the colours of her corps. Negotiations have been for some time pending between the Prussian Government and that of the United States of Ame rica, for the purpose of fixing, by a treaty similar to that which the United States entered into with Russia, the principles of maritime law applicable to neutral states." The Vienna Gazette announces that all the Rus sian Ministers at the German Courts have been directed to hold themselves in readiness to set out for Warsaw about the end of this month, when directed to do so by Count Nesselrode. The Em peror Alexander, it was thought, would arrive there about the 25th. _ A letter from Vienna of the 16th says :—." It is said that when Count Colloredo took leave of the Emperor on the oceasion of his intended return to London, the Emperor expressed to him the strong est desire to see the Western Powers disposed to listen to propositions of peace. But here nobody believes in peace." Toss's Gazette of Berlin quotes a letter from Vienna, which says :—" The Cabinet of Turin has applied to that of Paris to request its mediation in the new dispute which has arisen between Sardinia and Austria, in consequence of the resolution taken by the latter to lay the property of the religious corporations, secularised by the recent law, under sequestration. The French Government has, however, declined meddling in the matter. The negotiation between Austria and France, re specting a campaign projected for next spring, have had a satisfactory result, Austria having waived her objections to P. campaign on the Lower Danube." ITALY. On the 14th' the Himalaya sailed from Genoa for the Crimea, having on board the contingents of the regiments of the garrison of that city, that is, the grenadiers of the 9th and 10th regiment of the Guards and the Rifles. A banquet was offered to the officers previous to their departure. All their comrades and an immense concourse of the popu lation accompanied them to the place of embarka tion. A letter from Varna, of the Ist inst., in the Piemonte of the 16th, says "It is evidently the intention of the Allies to estab lish themselves strongly at Yenikale, where a large force is being concentrated. The attack against the Russian centre will proceed from Skelia, on the 'Tchernaya, Eu patoria, and Kertch. The army on the Belbek is divid ed into three corps. The weakest is composed of the army of reserve, the marines, the dismounted Cossacks, and the Greek volunteers, who constitute the garrison of the extensive works of fortification on the north of Sebastopol. The second corps, under the orders of General Osten-Sacken, is stationed behind Mackenzie, and the third, under those of General Liprandi, is near Kerman. The reserves at lluvankoi are under the immediate command of Prince Gortschakoff, whose position enables him to afford immediate assist ance to those three corps. It is probable that the 16 battalions detached to Yenikale will attempt a coup de main on Arabat, Marshal Peiiesier having heard that the Russians were sending off their provisions to Genitchi by the spit of Arabat. General Wrangel had been ob liged to leave his camp, near Kertch, on account of the scarcity of water, and had transferred his head-quarters ten hours' march into the interior to Arghini or Argin. The force under the command of that General is divided between Arabat and Caffa, and consists of about 12,000 infantry, with the regiment of dragoons of the Prince of Hesse, and the hussars of Saxe Weimar, at Arghini. Eight detachments of Cossacks had arrived at Genitchi. The corps of army of the allies at Kertch is to be in creased to 30,000 men." THE BALTIC. The Independance Beige contains the following intelligence from the Baltic :- 1" HAMBURG, Oct. 16.—Independently of the division of nine English gun-boats, numbers 2,3, 4,5, 15, 16, 17, 23, and 26, coming from the Baltic, which bad al ready reached Elsinore on their way home, 2 steam-tran sports, the one marked 22, and the ether having served as a magazine for the military clothing of the fleet, ar rived on the 14th in that harbour. The frigate Perse verance, which conveyed to Libau 410 Russian prisoners, sailed on this last day from Elsinore, for England. If to the above 12 vessels we add those which have already left the Baltic to return to the Western ports, no less than 68 ships of war of all sizes, belonging to the allied fleets, have either returned or are now on their way back to England and France. The Commissariat neverthe less continues to forward twice a week, from Elsinore to the Gulfs of Finland and Bothnia, large quantities of provisions for the English fleet, on board of which, according to the last returns, there are still 10,150 marines and sailors, The French squadron, under Rear- Admiral Penaud, regularly receives fresh provisions from Sweden, contractors from that country having agreed to forward supplies to all the stations of that squadron in the Baltic. The latest commercial letters from Courland mention that the entire Baltic coast of that province, from Polangen to Windau, bad been evacuated by the Russian troops on the approach of the bad season. This circumstance proves that the Russian commanders are without apprehension of any attack in that quarter for the present. Pickets of Cossacks and Bashkirs, how ever, are to be seen here and there on the coast. On the 6th there were still three English ships of war in observation near the isles of - Aland, whose principal mission appeared to be to intercept all communication between Sweden and Finland. During the bad • weather, and in the night small vessels of this last coun try occasionally eluded the vigilance of the English cruizers and landed in the port of Abo cargoes of salt and colonial articles, of which Finland has been in total want since the month of June. The organisation and arma ment of the 20 battalions of riflemen levied in Finland, by order of the Emperor Nicholas, are spoken of in high terms cf praise. Those troops are said to have rendered important services along the coast during the campaign. Part of them will be shortly sent home for the winter. Most of the employes in the civil administrations hold commissions in those battalions. The Civil Governor of Uleaborg, M. Lavonius, and the Governor of Wasa, M. Rechenberg, whose districts were particularly ill-treated by the English cruisers, have been ennobled by the Em peror as a recompenee for their loyalty and activity. Their names have been inscribed by the Marshal in the Book of the Finnish Nobility." EGYPT. A supplement to the second number of the Egyp tian Spectator, a new journal just issued at Cairo, contains the following : CAIRO, Oct 8. Extract from the circular communicated by the local government to the consular authorities : " Messieur s les Consuls,—As the Nile has not reached, this year, the level of its usual rise, and as a part of the lands have not been flooded, there :is reason to appre hend that the next harvest will not be sufficient for the food of the inhabitants. Foreseeing this, the govern ment of his Highness the Viceroy, whose first duty is to secure subsistence to the inhabitants of Egypt, has be lieved it indispensably requisite to prevent a scarcity by prohibiting the exportation of corn. As, on the other hand, his highness does not wish to injure commercial operations already commenced, he has deigned in this sense to grant a delay of three months from the date of this present, on the expiration of which term the rexpotation of corn will be interdicted, and no ship will be allowed to load with corn, unless it be previous to that period freighted with one-fourth of the cargo, in which case alone will it be permitted to complete its cargo. " Having received orders to acquaint you measure, taken in the general interest of the inhabitant!, of the country, I h ave Meeeioure lea Coeds, to pelt Y.
