WAR DEPARTMENT, OCT. 7. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has this day received a Letter, of which the following is a copy, enclosing, ty direction of the Earl of Clarendon, a Copy of a Telegraphic Despatch from her Ma jesty's Consul-General at Belgrade : FOREIGN-OFFICE, Oar., 9 A.M. will ever remain " enshrined in the memories of his country." His name will be inseparably associated with the glorious exploits of the Allied arms in the Crimea. With the same culpable, and indeed we may de signate it as unpardonable, negligence, which we have heretofore been compelled to censure, Lord STRATFORD does not condescend to tell us whether the experienced and efficient General died in the field of battle, in presence of the enemy, or from wounds received during the progress of the com bat, or from the effects of fatigue and anxiety. Any would be a glorious termination to a glorious career ; but our Ambassador leaves us in total igno rance on the subject. We onlyknow that on the3oth ultimo, at ten o'clock p.m., the Bertholet had arrived, bearing the remains of - the deceased Field-Marshal, and bringing later news from the Crimea, up to the morning of the 29th, at which time the Allies were on the point of commencing the siege of Sebastopol. Ge neral CANROBERT, who was seriously wounded at the battle of Alma, now succeeds to the Chief Command of the French troops in the Crimea, and we could not desire a more efficient coad jutor. It willalso be seen from the despatch that, on the morning of the 29th, it was supposed that Prince MENSCHIKOFF had given the slip to our Allies, and returned into Sebastopol. Be it Bo— we have no dread of anything he can do ; and there would be a failure of justice if he did not participate in the catastrophe mainly occa sioned by his own arrogance and brutal in solence. While we mourn the death cf the gallant ST. ARNAUD, we rejoice at the proba bility of the presence of MENSCHIKOFF at Sebas topol. It will be seen from the despatch that it was transmitted from Constantinople at 10 o'clock p.m. on the 30th September, and arrived at Bel grade at 7 p.m. on the 6th October, and in Lon don this day. As it comes through the Consul at Belgrade, it may, be received as perfectly authentic. In our impression of yesterday we announced the arrival of the Fury at Marseilles, at a late hour the preceding evening. Among other pas sengers it conveyed Lord BURGHERSH, eldest son of our Ambassador at Vienna, and one of the Aide-de-Camps to the Commander-in-Chief of the English Army in the East. It was, however, as the bearer of despatches from Lord RAGLAN to the Minister at War, containing a full account of the glorious but sanguinary victory on the Alma, that the arrival of Lord BURGHERSH was so anxiously looked for. He also brings with him the melancholy catalogue of those who perished gallantly in the fierce encounter, who faithfully and nobly discharged the arduous and important duties they owed to their country and to the cause of freedom and civilisation through out the world. The Noble Lord, who had wit nessed all the proceedings of the expedition, from its embarkation until the 25th ultimo, and of which ho might have exclaimed— " Et quorum pars magma fui" —left the army on Monday, the 25th of Septem ber. On his arrival—which may now hourly be anticipated—we shall have trustworthy accounts of all the particulars to which the public are so eagerly looking forward. We shall then learn the different stations and the exploits of our own gallant soldiers. The heartrending anxieties, the carking and consuming cares, of many who have had those near and deL. to them engaged in the awful struggle, will be changed into unalloyed exultation on bearing of the safety of their friends and relatives. While, alas ! there will be a deplorable converse to the picture. Many who now fondly believe themselves wives, will learn that they are widows, and that the lovers, the husbands, have been sacrificed at the shrine of the AUTOCRAT'S ambition—leaving nothing but the fame of their valour behind. Many infants in the early spring - tide of their lives will be left helpless orphans—while aged pa rents will find themselves childless—find that the green and vigorous branches have been ruthlessly lopped off, while the withered and sapless trunks have yet been spared. Verily our rejoicings will be largely mingled with mourning. We have received an important legacy in these bereaved widows, these fatherless orphans and childless parents, and it is incumbent on the na tion to accept the bequest, and to redeem the sacred trust confided to its charge. Sig„—l am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to transmit to you herewith, for the information of the Duke of Newcaitle, an exact copy of a e, received this morni ng f rom Telegraphi c Messa g viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, dated Constanti nople, Sept. 30, 1854, 10 p.m., and forwarded by her Majesty's Consul-General at Belgrade, on the 6th of October, at 7 p.m., and containing i n , telligence from the Crimea up to the morning of the 29th of September. I am, & c ., E. HAMMOND. Colonel Mundy, &c. &c. &c. Translation of the Exact Copy of a Despatch received 7th October, 9 a• M. Constantinople, Sept. 30, 1854, 10 p.m. Marshal St. Arnaud is dead. His remains have just arrived here on board the Bertholet, which is appointed to convey them to France. This vessel brings news from the Crimea up to the 29th, in the morning. It was supposed that Prince Menchikoff bad returned to Sebastopol. The Allies were on the p o i nt of commencing the siege. General Cnnrobert had succeeded to the command of the French Army. The news respecting the position and prospects of our forces is very important. It partially sup pliesthe shameful hiatus left by the meagre and un satisfactory reports from Constantinople. We now know that there had been no fighting in the Crimea from the 21st to the 24th inclusive; that the victorious troops had to a certain extent rested on their arms for four days after the' important vic tory they had achieved, the intermediate time being occupied in succouring and comforting the wounded, burying the dead, and repairing the lamentable vacancies in our ranks. The lists of killed and wounded had also to be prepared during the same time, and councils of war held as to the alterations in the former plans rendered desirable by the very important triumph that had been achieved. Even at the best it requires no ordinary attention to properly follow up a great victory a n d obtain results adequate to the tremendous loss that had been sustained, even by the conquerors, so that the blood of our gallant compatriots may not have been shed in vain. We know then that when Lord BURGHEBSH left on the 25th, it was decided " that Sebasto pol should be completely invested on the 27th, and that as soon as this operation was accom plished a general attack, by land and sea, was to be made." By the clue thus supplied, we may interpret the subsequent intelligence, so sparingly doled forth by Lord STRATFORD. On the 28th the Allied Armies had established their basis of operations at Balakiava, and were preparing to march on Sebastopol. By so doing they had completely environed the fortress, cutting off its communications by land an d by water, with the Russian troops,' and pre venting the possibility of assistance from any quar ter, except after a decisive defeat of the Allied forces. In addition, a safe and convenient har bour obtained, where a considerable p or ti on of the flaeset cou ld remain at anch or , an d the artil lery and a ll other stores required for the efficient conduct of the siege could be readily supplied. All the communications were, in fact, in the hands of our friends, while Prince MENSCHIKOFF and his followers had been excluded from any communication with the beleaguered fortress. This must materially diminish the prospect of a successful resistance, an d, in fact, af fords the strongest grounds for anticipating the speedy reduction of Sebastopol. It will be in the recollection of our readers that its defences to the andward. are not very formidable ; and now that every opportunity is afforded for making regular approaches in accordance with the rules of modern science, there is no reason to doubt that the re sult will be that which by these rules is consi dered certain—the complete success of the as sailants. It must be so, unless MENSCHIKOFF, who, with all the advantages of position, was. so - decisively defeated by the Allies ' cau obtain STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE.

The hero, who at the call of duty forgot the dangerous illness under which he had been long suffer ing, who hastened to the field of battle to expend his last energies in the service of France and of Europe, has fallen one of the vic tima—alld possibly the most illustrious of the war. -He hat,- however, died. nobly.

The remarks which I have, from time to time, made on this affair were not more severe than the nature of the subject demanded ; but I am now fain to confess that John Scott appears to have been over hastily abused and censured. SPORTING NOTES. We have been cheated, that is certain ; tre mendously cheated too, yet we are nothing the poorer. Our assets are as large as ever, our credit undiminished, and the bill on the Crimean expedition will assuredly be duly honoured. Who ever they were that duped us and half Europe for a few days, they did not dupe our troops and our • sailors. Even MEIV SCHIKOFF, the king of diplomatic bullies and liars, could not . hope to practise his chicanery on them. While we were hopefully dreaming under the inspiration of the telegraph, our Crimeans were anything but dream ing ; they were doing real business. We were fancying our work done, but though not done they were doing it, and admirably too. As we have shown, they had vanquished everything be tween the Alma and Balaklava, had secured that admirable port for disembarking their heavy ar tillery, instead of dragging it long weary miles from the north of Sebastopol ; and the intelligence via Marseilles, and brought by the Fury, not via Bucharest, and brought by the telegraph thence, shows the troops master of the second line of de fences, and of the heights which command the town. Before our ink is dry news may arrive that the late audacious fictions are become solid facts. Not a doubt have we that at the utmost the fort and the shipping will be ours in far less than the usual time of a siege. Sebastopol will October 7. A FRESH MAN. UNFOUNDED IMPUTATIONS ON THE CHARACTER OF MR. LA WFORD. - Mr The following letter (says the Times) is from Mr Lawford, of Draper's-hall. Mr. Lawford is solicitor to the East India Company, as well as to some of the high est London firms, and has always been held in great esteem. It appears he has found himself involved in some pecuniary difficulties, and that these have been made public, with soma wholly unfounded imputations on his character, which, from their pointed nature, al though they have probably had no weight with his im mediate friends, he feels it necessary to repel : " Draper's-hall, Oct. 6. " Sir,—My attention has been called to a paragraph in a newspaper of Sunday last importing that an eminent so licitor's firm, acting as the legal adviser of a great public company, had been committing extensive forgeries, to the injury of clients who had title and trust deeds deposited with it.' The paragraph proceeds to allude to ' instances of a grievous character, and to prospective disclosures, which will throw into the shade those arising out of Mr. Coles's frauds, so lately exposed under this head.' "The criminal charges imputed by the paragraph in question are so wholly untrue and without the shadow of a foundation, so far as it can be conceived to relate to me, or to any member• of my firm, that I have forborne to notice it publicly until I find a general impression to prevail that I am the person indicated in it, and that silence on my part may be misconstrued. And I would even now abstain from intruding myself upon the public, but, as another paragraph appeared in a daily paper of Tuesday last, in which I am specifically named, I venture to hope that you will permit me through your columns to give the most en tire contradiction to the criminal charges imputed by the paragraph in question. "I am, sir, your most obedient servant, EDWARD LANFORD." not be a second Silistria. All the conditions are reversed. The fortifications are strong, not ruinous ; but the garrison are Russians, not Turks ; and the assailants English, French, and Turks, not Russians. The annals of Russia will soon have to record that 60,000 or 70,000 Russians could not, after two months' efforts and immense losses, take the outworks of a third-rate Turkish fortress, but that as many of the Allies in a few days, as we confidently expect, captured the strongest Russian fortress on the Black Sea. Towards this grand result we have made definite and secure progress. We know, indeed, the pro verbial chances of war, but we are not to be timidly blind to its reasonable certainties ; and we affirm, that the position now gained, not by luck, though we gratefully acknowledge the providential weather which prospered our armada, but by consummate bravery and skill, is a safe pledge for the near future. The MENSCHIKOFF remnants, scattered and intimidated by the bravery of our troops, will but miserably aid their com rades cooped up within the walls, and in no way disturb the operations of the besiegers. On the other hand, there is not a shadow of probability that the southern defences of Sebastopol aro even equal to those of Boniarsund. Possibly, at the worst, we may have no ships to spare, in the short remainder of the season, from the Black Sea fleet for Baltic service ; but there is some useful finishing-off work to be done yet in the former place. Nicolaieff and Odessa must, at least, receive due attention. As for the Circassian forts, it would seem our enemies are blowing up the last of them themselves—a feat of valour or prudence for which, of course, we highly commend them. The garrisons are, indeed, to help poor MENSCHIKOFF—if they can ; for it remains to be seen, first, whether they ca n so easily get ferried over the Sea of Azoff ; and next, whether, if got over, they would not be much too late for any other service than that of helping him out of the peninsula, if he ever get out. Circassia, at least, breathes freely, and the brave mountaineers will be more than ever at liberty to act as independent auxiliaries to the Turkish army in Asia. There is also another most important task to be accomplished in the Black Sea—the complete liberation of the Danube. Ismail ought, if possible, to be in the hands of the Allies this autumn. All Bessarabia, the southern part bordering on the Danube especially, must be restored to its former masters, if the Danube is to be really free, and Turkey fairly secured. There is no fear, therefore, of want of employment for our sailors and soldiers. If they do but chastise the skulking savages of Sinope, and compel NICHOLAS to chant a Miserere nos instead of a Te Detan ; if they blow up the rob ber's fortress itself, clear the Crimea, and fortify the lines of Perekop, this alone, added to what OMER PACHA has already done, will be a noble achieve ment, and will have broken for a century the southern strength of Russia. All the rest will follow next spring, if NICHOLAS does but hold out, which we earnestly hope he will. THE SUN. LONDON, SUNDAY EVEN COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, Oar. 5.

THE GERMANIC MUSEUM AND THE DUKE OF COBURG. —This collection is intended to become a great national undertaking, and to be located (at present) at Nurem berg. ADELAIDE.—The advices from Adelaide state that business was in a satisfactory condition. Railway bonds to the extent of 40,0001., offered by the Government, had been taken by the banks at a quarter per cent. premium. The revenue returns for the quarter had just been published, and showed a steady increase. A further search for gold would, it was expected, shortly take place, and fresh subscriptions were being received to pay the expenses of parties who proposed to explore, and to reward any successful discoverers. At the 'late land sales for country sections an average price of N. 17s. lid. bad been obtained, the whole quantity brought forward realising 6,889/. The quotation of Burra Burra shares was 153 to 155 ex dividend, and the prospects of the mine were still alleged to be very favourable. VICTORY IN THE CRIMEA.—THE WEST RIDING.— The intelligence cf . the - victory of the allied forces excited much enthusiasm in the West Riding. At Wakefield a band of music paraded the town, the bells were rung, and a large bonfire was lit in the Bull-ring. At Kirkburton, Dewsbury, and Keighly, similar demonstrations of satis faction were witnessed. At Halifax much excitement prevailed ; groups assembled at the street corners, and business was quite neglected. A t Driffield, Barnsley, Otley, Punteiract, and other towns, boufires were lighted, guns fired, bells rung, and in some cases an effigy of "Old Nick; was carried in procession through the streets, and afterwards reduced to ashes. LAST APPEARANCE OF THE SPANISH DANCERS. HAYMARKET THRATRE.—This evening is positively the last appearance of the Spanish Dancers. The charming Senora Peres Nena and her coryphees, with Senor Ruiz at their head, are announced to appear at Birmingham on Monday next, when Mr. Wright and Mr. Hudson will jointly prove the attraction for the week at this theatre. Mn. G. V. BROOKE.—The gratifying visit of Mr. G. V. Brooke, the eminent tragedian, to the Licensed Victuallers' School and Asylum, with a party of rela tives and friends, among whom were his wife and mother, Miss Fanny Cathcart, and several other ladies, and also Mr. Wilton, of Drury-lane Theatre, was noticed yester day. We have now the pleasure of adding, that Mr. Brooke was so much delighted with what he had seen in these noble institutions of the trade that he most kindly volunteered to give them the benefit of his high dramatic talents,at Drury-lane Theatre, for one night, or even for two, if the committees thought they would be able to fill the house on two occasions. With this very generous offer before them, it is the intention of both committees to make every possible exertion to turn it to the most profitable account for the benefit of their societies ; and it is earnestly hoped that the great body of the trade will second their efforts in that praiseworthy object. A very attractive programme of en tertainments has been prepared for next Tuesday night, in the dramatic portion of which Mr. Wright has (with the kind permission of Mr. Buckstone) undertaken to appear ; and Mrs. Newton Frodsham, the celebrated vocalist, with the Distin family, and other instrumental performers, have aiso kindly consented to assist gratuit ously on the occasion. We doubt not that the result will fully realise the anticiptations which had been formed under these promising circutustances.—Morning Advertiser. THE LATE Mn.

The following despatch has been received here, dated Marseilles, Friday:— " The Fury has arrived from Constantinople, which she left on the 27th, having on board Lord Burghersh, with despatches from Lord Raglan for the English Government. " Sebastopol was to have been invested on the 27th. " The second line of defence was carried, and the place entirely surrounded. " The Russians are shut up in Sebastopol, which was to have been attacked by sea and land. " At the battle of Alma, 3,000 prisoners were taken. " The struggle was fierce. " The Zouaves, tirailleurs, and Scotch Fusi liers greatly distinguished themselves. " The French lost 1,400 killed and wounded. The loss of the English amounts to 2,000. " General Thomasson is better. " The Albatross, Montezuma, and Wolga have brought wounded to Constantinople. " The Russians have sunk four vessels at the entrance of the port of Sebastopol to obstruct the entrance. "12,000 stand of arms, destined for Schamyl, have been sent. Mustapha Pacha, commander of the army at Batoum, accompanies this convoy. " Constantinople was illuminated iu honour of the battle of the Alma. " The cavalry has arrived in the Crimea from Varna." PARIS, SATURDAY, OCT. 7. " The Moniteur publishes Marshal St. Arnaud's report of the battle of Alma. The Russians mus tered 40,000 infantry, assembled from all points of the Crimea, and on the morning of the 20th they were joined by 6,000 cavalry from Theodosia. 180 field pieces were in position on the heights. A movement made by General Bosquet outflanked the left of the Russians and turned some of their batteries. The English took the Russian right, and the French formed the centre and covered a length of three miles. At half after 12 the sig nal to advance was made, and the Alma was crossed in double quick time. " Prince Napoleon took possession of the village under the fire of the Russian batteries, and at half past 4 the French army was entirely victorious on its side. " The English advanced in admirable order against the Russian positions, stormed them, and drove the Russians out of them. " Lord Raglan, with his ancimit courage, gave his orders with calmness amid a shower of balls, until the Russians, utterly routed, threw away their arms and knapsacks in order to escape with greater celerity. " The loss of the English is 1,500 killed and wounded. " The Duke of Cambridge is perfectly well. His division, and that of General Brown, behaved splendidly. "The loss of the French was about 1,400 killed and wounded ; three officers were killed and 54 wounded ; 233 non-commissioned officers and privates killed and 1,033 wounded. " Generals Canrobert and Thomas were among the wounded. " The Russian loss was about 5,000. "A despatch from the French Minister at The rapia of the 27th states that the Russians neither halted on the Katschan or the Belbeck, but re treated at once into Sebastopol. " Twenty-one guns will be fired to-day at the Invalides on the occasion of this victory." The carriage and correspondence of Prince Menschikoff fell into the hands of the victors. VIENNA, FRIDAY, NOON. Advices from Constantinople, of the 30th ult., contained in an official French despatch, state that the Allies crossed the Katcha and Belbeck without a conflict. The Russians have sunk several large vessels to block up the mouth of Sebastopol harbour. The list of the English officers killed on the 20th has been sent via Corfu. Lord Burghersh brings despatches via Mar. sallies. He left the Crimea on the 27th. TURKEY. Accounts have been received from Constant nople, dated the 27th ult., stating that the loss of the Russians at the battle of the Alma amounted to 8,000, and that the enemy had retired into Sebastopol. It is added that the Russians had sunk some of their ships-of-the-line at the entrance into the port of Sebastopol, in order to prevent an attack from the Allied fleets. TB.REAT TO B URN ODESSA. The inhabitants of Odessa have given a pledge that they will burn the pima, should it be at• tacked, rather than allow it to fall into the hands of the Allies. Reports are stated to have been received by Greek houses in the City yesterday, from (Odessa, to the effect that Generals Osten-Sathen and Luders had entered the Crimea at the head 040 battalions, besides the garrison of Odetissa, 20,000 strong. ODESSA, SEPT. 29. A Russian report says that the Allies have crossed the Belbeck. Marshal St. Arnaud wild attack Prince Men- schikoff near Bakschi-Serai, to secure the territory with water springs. It is reported that the Russians are sending artillery from the Russo-Galician frontier by foiced marches, to the Moldo-Wallachian frontier. The Austrian answer of the 30th September to the last Prussian circular insists clearly upon the Russian guarantees, and strongly intimates the intention of Austria, in case of need, to break off joint action with Prussia, demanding the adoption of the four points by the Diet. ILLNESS OF MARSHAL ST. ARNAUD. THE COMMAND-IN-CHIEF OF THE ALLIED ARMIES TAKEN BY LORD RAGLAN. A correspondent of the Fremden Blatt writes from Varna on the 23(1, :that it was said that Marshal St. Arnaud was very unwell, and that Lord Raglan had taken the command-in-chief of the Allied troops. In the ambulance and in the hospital in Kalamita Bay there were 1,500 wounded soldiers—English, French, and Turks. This cor respondent also says that in the battle of the 20th no prisoners were made on either side, and that the Russians lost 2,800 men, 56 officers, with two generals killed, and 3,000 wounded. Mar shal St. Arnaud's head-quarters were removed on the 22d from Bucalek to Duvenkai ; and the 23d and 24th of September were fixed upon for the attack on the outworks of Sebastopol. THE BAY OF BALAKLAVA. We extract the following remarks of the recent movements in the Crimea from yesterday's Ai 0214- tear : " The establishment of an army to the south of Sebastopol, and the taking possession of the port of Balaklava, a few days after the landii.g of the allied troops in the Bay of Kalamita, are not operations which were unexpected. The Bay of Balaklava had for a long time fixed the attention of the Generals in -Chief, but they did not desire to effect the first landing there from its topographic position, it being of so limited an extent as no t t o a ll ow o f the disembarkation of a large number of troops. During the survey of the coasts made immediately before the landing by Lord Raglan, accompanied by English and F renc h E ng i neer fficers, the party went as far as Balaklava, and it was ascertained that the port presented important advantages as a basis of operations. The report of General Bizot, officer of Engineers, dated September 18, affords proof of this. " Thus the occupation of that town on the morn ing of the 28th by the allied troops is a significant fact, and of the highest importance for the progress of military operations. The armies have insured a communication with the fleet. Magazines and moveable hospitals have been properly installed there. A convenient and safe road, practicable for every description of carriage, leads from Balaklava to Sebastopol. We are therefore now certain that our armies are firmly established in the Crimea. "The warlike operations which have brought about this important result do the utmost honour to the Generals-in-Chief. " Several combats have taken place, and victory has remained faithful to our flags. Our columns have been able successively to cross several rivers, to pass the Gulf of Sebastopol, to join in engage ments in the mountains, in order to reach Bala klava, and Prince Menschikoff, with the remnants of the Russian army, has been driven far away. " We shall soon receive details of this great strug gle, which will invest our army with additional glory." A second article in the Moniteur, dated Leipsic, Oct. 3, is as follows : " The victory gained on the 20th of Sept. on the Alma is considered by military men as the sure presage of the speedy fall of Sebastopol. If the reports which an nounced this event as an accomplished fact were prema ture, at all events no one doubts the success of that great enterprise. It would be impossible to describe the sen sation which the recent news has excited throughout Germany ; and if, as was inevitable, it may have created different impressions, it is impossible not to acknow ledge that a great majority of the hope entertained is in favour of the success of the arms of the allied Powers." THE WAR ON THE DANUBE. VIENNA, Oct. 3.—Telegraphic intelligence ar rived here last night from Bucharest that Omer Pacha, immediately after the receipt of the brilliant news from the Crimea, sent orders to the Turkish troops concentrated near Matechin to advance to wards the mouth of the Pruth. The marshal will, it is said, conduct in person the operations against Bessarabia, and enter the Russian territory at the head of 50,000 men. This intention of Omer Pacha has been merely quickened by the victories in the Crimea. That they were already formed is proved by the fact that Iskender Bey marched on Galatz on the 24th with his vanguard of 2,000 horse. GALATZ, Sept. 24.—T0 judge by the quidk and frequent movements of troops on the part of the Turks, Omer Pacha is meditating some unex pected blow against the Russians. The half at least of his army now in Wallachia is advancing by forced marches, towards the mouth of the Pruth, opposite Reni. In this manner a bloody drama may be played in our neighbourhood, the issue of which in every case will be sure to affect seriously our con dition. Should the Russians remain the victors, they will hardly abandon a place of such com mercial and strategetical importance. Whoever is master of Galatz holds the trade of the Danube in his hands, and commands the important Delta, be tween the Pruth and the Danube. From Bessarabian reports welearn that the Rus sian commanders of Kitchenev, Tirasopol, Kaus chany, Kagul, Reni, Ismail, and Akerman are send ing the troops they can spare on to Odessa and further still in that direction, Prince Menschikoff stands quite isolated in the Crimea ; and if the allies suc ceed in breaking his power, the Crimea is lost for Russia. This is why the Russian troops are hurry ing from Bessarabia to Taurida. A report has arrived from Kischliaki-Tatar, that the Russian troops marching thence to the coast sacked the place first, and took with them those in habitants who resisted. They mean to make them work in the transport service. In fact the Russians are conducting themselves all over Bessarabia just as they would do in an enemy's country ; but it looks as if Bessarabia, as well as the Crimea, will be wrested from their grasp. One thing is certain, that the Russian generals and soldiers do not consult in the remotest degree the sympathies of the poor in habitants in Bessarabia or the Crimea. THE BALTIC. A letter from Hamburg of the 2d, in the Inde pendance of Brussels, says :—" I have already in formed you that Admiral Parseval Deschenes had sent orders to all the Commanders of the French vessels-of-war in the different northern points to join him at the anchorage of Kiel ; and it was not doubted at the latter place that the fleet will return to the Baltic to undertake, in concert with the English squadron, some im portant operations against one of the fortified places of Russia in that sea, or in the Gulf of Finland. In consequence of the Admiral's orders, there were this day assembled in the port of Kiel, ten French vessels of war of different a z 5 three of them vessels of the line ; other vessels are shortly expected. The English screw-ship of the line, the Alax, which was also at that anchorage, put to sea yesterday. The French ships are doing their best at Kiel to obtain supplies ; several of them appear during the last few months to have sustained injuries more or less considerable. It is believed in the fleet that Rear-Admiral Penand, who left Kiel by land for Paris, will bring to Admiral Parseval Des chenes the decision of the French Government as to the future destination of the fleet in the Baltic. Supplies for all eventualities are being prepared at Kiel, and an order for 8,000 sacks of potatoes and other provisions had been given. From the 20th to the 2Gth ult, there were violent tempests in the Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland." A letter from Copenhagen, of the 2d, says that the Council of State has decided, by a majority of. 15 to 3, to send an address to the King, praying him to allow the Council to have a decisive vote on the Budget, and on the accounts of the different States. AUSTRIA. The Lloyd of Vienna of the 2(1 says : " We have received details of the battle of the Alma, some from Belgrade, and the others from Bucharest. Prince Menschikoff had his right wing leaning on Baktchi Sarai, and his left on the banks of the Alma. On the day before the battle he had reinforced his entrenched camps, which contained 30,000 men, by 20,000, whom be brought from Sebastopol, and established his head-quarters at Duvankai, a village situated between the two rivers Belbeck and Katcha. On the morning of the 19th the allied troops, who had landed at Eupatoria, put them selves in march and passed the Alma at different points where the river was entirely dry, and advanced as far as Echba. About noon on the 20th they arrived near Katcbak, where the Russians commanded by Prince Menschikoff in person, occupied a plain in front of the mountains of Kalautai. Prince Napoleon first attacked the Russian right wing in flank with a part of his division and the 4th English division, while Lord Raglan, at the head of two English and Turkish divisions drove the left wing of the enemy fro in his positions. The divi sion of General Canrobert occupied the road leading frora,,Baktchi-Serai to Simpheropol, and drove back on that town General Komutoff, who, with 4,000 men, was advancing to the assistance of Prince Menschikoff. While the enemy were retiring along the coast from the Alma on the Katscha the line-of battle ships stationed cavalry infantry didn on the coasts threw shells among them with grea t pre cision and success. The Russians lost part of thei r can nonreap pduring except thei r flight.n the K a The rt s ato enemy 's cover t while they passed the river. It only took three hours for the allies to carry the entrenchments which the enemy had taken six months to construct, and only half of the allied troops who had landed took part in this short but sanguinary struggle. Prince Menschikoff was in a square formed by a brigade posted on the road from Kalantai, when the English and French cavalry broke the square, and he did not escape without difficulty, owing his safety to the swiftness of his horse. The enemy's troops continued during the whole night to make for Milie, and at last threw up entrenchments in that place on the Bel beck. It is said that during the combat a great num ber of Poles belonging to the Russian army passed over to the allies. The loss of the Russians amounts to 6,000 men, killed or prisoners. Prince Menschi koff now finds himself reduced to defend the posi tion which he has taken up near Sebastopol, and he has transferred his head-quarters to that place. The enthusiasm of the allied troops is indescribable. It was only the right wing of the Russians which resisted for any time behind its entrenchments ; the left wing gave way at the very first attack. The Tartars of the villages of the western part of the Crimea have sent deputations to the Turkish commander, and have offered to form an auxiliary corps." MONTENEGRO. The latest from Montenegro, of the 24th ult., is that the Turks had put the fortress of Sputz in a perfect state of defence. Prince Danilo • had planted six cannon on the heights commanding the fortress, but had not attempted an attack. FIANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. I did not allow my anxiety for good news to out run my judgment when the fail of Sebastopol was announced. I may be permitted not to caution the public against giving way to a depression which would be still less warranted by the authentic ac counts that have arrived than the high degree of excitement which was the result of the false news. The feeling that pervaded I may say the entire population of Paris the whole of the afternoon of yesterday was one, not perhaps of consternation but of the profoundest sorrow. You saw sadness at the cruel disappointment depicted in every man's countenance at finding the glorious tidings, which each successive day brought us from all quarters, so abruptly contradicted. The Debats says : _ It now appears from the latest telegraphic dispatches that the news of the capture of Sebastopol, and all the details relative thereto, which have been current during the last few days are entirely erro neous. Confidence, which was excessive, must not, however, be replaced by incredulity, which would resemble uncalled for discouragement. Sebastopol has not been taken in three days, but the operations of the combined army are being carried on . with success, to bring about the inevitable result which is now only a question of time. Time is an ele ment which must always be taken into account in siege operations, especially against a large fortress defended by an army. The Constitutionnel says—" The two despatches which have been received, contain the sole official ,and incontestable intelligence of the expedition to the Crimea. They prove that the newt, sent by the private telegraph had been either inexact or premature ; at the date which these communi cations assigned for the capture of Sebastopol, .that place was not yet in the hands of the allies. At present, let us know how to resolutely put aside the illusion of a victory obtained always wit hout fighting, and confine ourselves to the legiti mate and serious hopes which the first results of . the expedition authorise. In a few days, perhaps, this conquest of Sebastopol will have become a re ality. The Pays says, "If God has not performed for us a prodigy, we can repeat with pride that the heroism of our soldiers has accomplished in four days acts and obtained victories w: hich will excite the admiration of the WG At present, thanks to these first successes, we are masters of the shore ; we are master& ; of the sea ; we are only a few leagues from Seb as topol ; we have struck with apprehension and as tonishment our enemies ; and we know the number of men of whom they can dispose. No, the final. success cannot be doubtful ! We have in oil kr fa vour the superiority of number, the advantal :e of strategical positions, and the enthusiasm of: our troops, which our first triumphs have decui ►led ; we have above all faith in that Divine justice vi rhich protects the honest cause, and which destroys by the sword such persons as place the sword at. the service of their iniquitous ambitions."
