lonville, was composed of twelve squadrons of his division, of
Armand's Battery (of Horse Artillery), 200 irregular cavalry,
and six Egyptian battalions. It crossed one of the arms of
Lake Sasik, and marched by Chiban upon Djollchak, the ge-
neral rendezvous, where the two last columns joined each other
about ten in the morning.
These columns had driven before them the Russian squad-
rons, which had successively fallen back upon their reserves.
During the halt ordered to refresh the horses, General
d'Allonville observed the movements of the enemy, who,
with 18 squadrons, several troops of Cossacks, and artillery,
endeavoured to turn his right by advancing between him and
the lake.

General d'Allonville, supported in the rear by two regi-
ments of Turkish cavalry, and the six Egyptian battalions,
immediately directed his force upon the point of the lake, so
as to surround the enemy himself. The promptitude of this
movement enabled the 4th Regiment of Hussars, the first
line of which was led by General Walsin-Esterhazy, to make
a close attack on the enemy, while General Champeron, with
the 6th and 7th Dragoons, in the second and third line, ad-
vanced on the Russian Lancers, and compelled them to a
precipitate retreat, during which our troops harassed them
for a distance of more than two leagues.
The enemy being unable to keep their ground on any point
and flying in every direction, General d'Allonville halted the
squadrons, and, before retiring, collected all that the Russians
had abandoned on the field of battle.
AB the result of the action we have taken six guns (three
cannon and three mortars), 12 caissons, and one field forge,
with their horses and harness ; 169 prisoners, of whom one is
an officer, Lieutenant Procopvitch, of the 18th Lancers ; and
250 horses.

The enemy left on the field about 50 killed; among them
was recognised Colonel Andreawski, of the 18th Lancers, of
the division of General Korf, who commanded in this engage-
ment, and who has the reputation in the Russian army of
being a cavalry officer of great merit. Our loss, in com-
parison, is very small; we have six killed and 29 wounded ;
M. Pujade, aide-de-camp of General Walsin ; and M. de Sibert
de Cornillon, ordonnance officer of the same general, are
among the latter.

This brilliant action does honour to the regiments engaged
in it, as well as to Generals Walsin and de Champeron, and
to General d'Allonville, who speaks in high terms of the
support he received from Achmet Pasha, and the Turkish
corps under his command.
Receive, Monsieur, &c ,
PELISSIEB, Marshal, Commander-in-Chief.

TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES.
VIENNA, Oct. 15.
The Oesterreichische Correspondent contains the follow-
ing intelligence from Odessa, under date of the 10th :
Eighty ships are in sight of the harbour ; either a descent
on the place or a bombardment is expected.
The Emperor will not visit Odessa at present. _

ODESSA, Oct. 11

A report is in circulation, which, under existing circum-
stances, does not appear improbable. It is rumoured that the
Russians intend to abandon the north side of Sebastopol, and
to retire to Perekop.
The fleets are still off the harbour.

BERLIN, Oct. 16.
A telegraphic despatch from Prince Gortschakoff, dated the
13th, states:—

The enemy quitted the Valley of the Upper Belbeck this
morning, and returned to the ridge separating it from the
Valley of Baidar.

This retreat is probably caused by our movement towards
Tavri and Albat.

The enemy's fleet has left Odessa roads, and anchored three
leagues from Kinburn.

BOMBARDMENT OF KINBURN.

BERLIN, Wednesday.
The telegraph from St. Petersburg informs us that on the
15th the English landed a small force at Kinburn, not far
from the Salt Lakes.

In the evening six steamers began to bombard Kinburn.
The fortress replied, and one vessel was injured.
On the 16th a cannonade took place between the fortress of
Kinburn and the gun-boats of the allies.:
There is nothing new from the Crimea.
The allies still continue to hold the ridge facing the valley
of Baidar.

THE ATTACK ON KARS.
BERLIN, Oct. 18.
A despatch received from St. Petersburg states that on the
29th of September the Russian army attacked Kars.
In consequence of several officers of high rank having been
killed or wounded early in the action, the assault was unsuc-
cessful.

General Mouravieff adds that, notwithstanding their losses,
the Russian troops captured fourteen Turkish flags, and that
the blockade of Kars is re-established on the same footing as
before the attack.

BERLIN, Thursday Evening.
The Emperor Alexander will go to Kieff before he visits
Warsaw.
All the reserve and the militia are being concentrated at
Kieff, under the command of General Paniutin, and the
Emperor is going thither to pass them in review.
The Baron Prokesch-Osten's mission to Paris is now said
to have been specially directed to the affairs of the Danubian
Principalities.
The system there is to be completely reorganised, and
the relations between the Turkish and native authorities and
the Austrian commanders of the army of occupation strictly
defined.

ADVANCE OF THE ALLIES.
PARIS, Thursday Night.
By accounts of the 13th, from the Crimea, the advanced
posts of the allies were, on the 12th, within five leagues of
Baktchi-Serai.

The Russians were retiring slowly.
Everything led to the belief that General Liprandi in-
tended to defend the line of the Belbek, and to rest upon the
corps commanded by Prince Gortschakoff.
