OPERATIONS ON THE DNIEPER.

The Invalide Russe publishes a continuation of the tele-
graphic despatches sent from Nicholaieff to St Petersburg, by
order of the Emperor :
NICTIOLAIIMP, Oct. 26, 10-45 p.m.
During the last twenty-four hours there has been no change
in the position of the enemy, though the number of their
steamers, gunboats, and floating batteries in the road of Oc-
zakoff has slightly increased. The movements observed yes-
terday between the three points of their anchorage have con-
tinued to-day. '
The enemy has burnt the hamlets on the Spit of Kinburn,
which, however, were already deserted, the inhabitants
having abandoned them, taking with them all their cattle
and carrying off all their property. The enemy has made no
movement nor attempted any other operation on land.
Lieut.-General Zadousky yesterday made a reconnaissance
beyond the village of Vassilievka, and advanced as far as the
enemy's outposts.
OCT. 27, 9.30 p.m.
In the night from the 26th to the 27th the vessels of the

enemy which were in the embouchure of the Dnieper quitted
it, and joined the squadron moored in the Bay of Oczakoff.
Excepting this movement, there has been no change in the
enemy's position, nor have they attempted any operation.
The patrolp sent from the advanced guard of General
Zadousky to a distance of 20 versts beyond the village of
Bouzavaia, on the Spit of Kinburn, did not meet the enemy
any Where.
From Oczakoff it is observed that 04 disembarked troops
are fortifying their position at Kinburn.
All goes well at Nicholaieff.

OCTOBER 28, 9.45, p.m.

Yesterday, during the evening, the enemy embarked near
Kinburn their field artillery and horses on board some of
their transport ships ' • this morning, at daybreak, those ships
were still in the road. They appeared to be preparing to put
to sea, but a dense fog, which lasted from eight o'clock this
morning till the evening, prevented any observations during
the day. Before this fog came on, it was remarked that the
number of steamers, gunboats, &c., at anchor in the
embouchure of the Bug had considerably decreased. Only
five steamers and four gunboats remained at the mouth of
the river: the fleet now numbers in all 64 vessels.

The following telegraphic despatch has been sent from
Nicholaieff to St. Petersburg, by order of the Emperor :

NICHOLAIEF, Oct. 20.
The number of the enemy's vessels, moored near the Spit
of Kinburn, is still diminishing. To-day there are not more
than 60 left.

The ships that were stationed near Oczakoff, and a little
higher up, have moved nearer to the shore at Kinburn, and
continue to take on board troops. A ship-of-the-line and two
transports, the latter having completed the embarkation of
men, have weighed anchor and put to sea.
The number of tents on the Spit of Kinburn is also less
than before.

There are two steamers and lice gunboats off Stranislaff, in
the embouchure of the Bug.
The main body of the fleet has not changed its position.

THE CRIMEA.

The Inralide also publishes the following telegraphic
despatch from Prince Gortschakoff :
Yesterday the enemy again made a strong demonstration
from the side of Eupatoria, with 30 squadrons of cavalry and
six battalions of infantry; they advanced from Saki upon
Tchebotar, but they were stopped by our advanced guard,
with which they exchanged some cannon shots. They then
fell back on Saki, where they remained during the night.
This morning the enemy renewed their attempt, a part of
their force advancing upon Temesch ; but when our division
of Lancers, supported by a reserve of Dragoons, began to
threaten their left flank, they at noon again retired upon Saki.
For the rest, all goes well on every point.

Prince Gortschakoff has transmitted to St. Petersburg the
following despatch from the Crimea : _ _

OCTOBER 29.

The enemy's force kept its position at the village of Saki
during the past night, but at eight this morning it has again
moved to Eupatoria. Our outposts have taken their former
positions.
Nothing remarkable has occurred on any other point.

RESIGNATION OF BRITISH GENERALS IN TUE CRIMEA.—
The Globe says :—" It is with some surprise and regret that
we hear that some of the senior generals of the Crimean army
have resigned their divisions, because their junior, General
Codrington, has been invested with the chief command. Sir
Colin Campbell returns home on private affairs, and it has
been said that professional jealousy is one of the causes of his
return. There are two other general officers senior to the
Commander-in-Chief, General Barnard and Lord Rokeby.
We sincerely hope that no considerations of etiquette will in-
duce them to abandon at once the posts they hold, and their
fair prospects of high distinction. Sir Richard Airey, the
Quartermaster-General, also returns home. He is junior to
General Codrington, and, of course, can have no cause of com-
plaint. It is understood that he returns to fill an important
situation of the staff at home."

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

NAPLES.

M. Lacour, French ambassador at Naples, is recalled.
M. Brennier ekes his place.
The Neapolitan government still persuade the King that
he is threatened with invasion. M. Mazza has not left Naples
as expected. The French ambassador has received a note of
apology from the Neapolitan government, for the insult offered
to the French flag at Messina, though the people about the
court deny this statement.
The King is trying to make himself popular, and very often
appears amongst and mingles with the people, both at Portici
and the Favorita. Prince Demidoff is here. They say he is
on a money-hunting expedition.

TURKEY.
The harvest has been so plentiful that there will be no want
of grain, even if the allies should raise their armies to 250,000
or 300,000 men. The people, finding a good market for their
produce, no longer neglect to till the land.
Accounts from Constantinople of the 29th ult. state that
winter quarters were being prepared in that city for a nume-
rous body of cavalry.
The following is an extract from the Constantinople corres-
pondence of the Morning Herald, dated Oct. 29 :—lt is con-
fidently rumoured in diplomatic circles here that the Sultan
has expressed to his ministers his desire of visiting Paris and
London in the spring of 1856. Yesterday an Extraordinary
Council was held, and, after sitting en clos for upwards of
four hours, the president proceeded to the palace, where he
remained closeted with his Highness for a very long time.
During his absence (should it take place) the government will
be confided to his brother, Abdul-Aziz Effendi, who, it is said,
will be assisted by all the chief men of the Empire. There is
no parallel in Turkish history of a Sultan leaving his capital
to pay visits to allied monarchs, and I doubt if the people,
who at large are as fanatic and prejudiced as ever, will permit
their master to leave his territories, and confine his precious
life in the hands of Giaours. The Sultan's brother, Abdul-Aziz,
is a fine young man, about twenty-eight years of age. He is
both clever and severe. Some add that his violence and over-
bearing are insupportable. He belongs to the old class, and
will run down Reschid Pacha and the reform party the first
opportunity he has. All this, however, is mere surmise until
the opinion of the Western Courts is officially made known.
