(The Globe says we may expect to receiv ci.......,1 Simi,-
son's despatch, with details of the 4311 of Sebastopol, in the
course of Wednesday. Major the Hon. Leicester Curzon, of
the Rifle Brigade, Assistant Military Secretary to General
Simpson, left Balaklava with the despatches on the 11th, in
the Telegraph steamer, direct for Marseilles, where he should
arrive some time to-day, or early to-morrow, with tolerably
fair weather. Immediately on his arrival in town, Major
Curzon will proceed to Balmoral with copies of the despatches
for Her Majesty, and the rank of Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel
will, in all probability, be bestowed on him.

The Morning Post's Paris correspondent telegraphs as
follows :—lmmediately after receiving intelligence of the fall
of Sebastopol, the Emperor charged the Minister of War to
transmit the following despatch to General Pelissier :
" Honor to you Honor to all our brave army—congratulate
all in my name " Also the following :—" The Emperor
charges you to eomgratulate the English army in his name on
the constant valour and moral force which it has displayed
during this long and trying campaign."

The Paris journal, La Pays, of this day, has a despatch
from Berlin, stating that the Emperor of Russia notified the
fall of Sebastopol to the King of Prussia by a private tele-
graphic despatch. The Emperor stated that he was firmly
resolved on accepting no conditions of peace whatever that
should be derogatory to Russia as a great power. A letter in
the Debats repeats the report of this despatch, and says that
it contains textually the following words—" Russia never
,makes peace after disaster."

The Morning Posts Paris correspondent says, General
Pclissier's latest despat2hes simply state—" We are beginning
to .occupy the town of Sebastopol. All goes on well. The
materiel left by the enemy is even more extensive than at
first anticipated. We shall be able to adapt many large
buildings to the uses of the army."
