that General d'Allonville, after his
ratan to Upton& on the Mk with the mind
mops d'armbe of the Allies, remained that. two days,
and on the lot instant spin left Ropatoria. The
Priam says that the messy batted for the night at
Kataprt and Saki, from which it would appear that
General d'Allonvilleisadvanoingby another road than

that which latoly took him to the Russian entrenched
position at Tehobatar. X.aregort lies about nine
miles to the north of that pica.

In a telegraphic despatch from St. Petersburg the
return of the Allied oar's d'arsite to Upstart& on the
29th ult. is seedbed to the apprehension of its gene-
cab that it would be attacked on its flank.

The head-quarters of General Leiden, commander•
in-chief of the *my of the south, me removed from
Odama to Nicolaieff. If the Augsburg Gass!** be as
well informed on Russian subjects as it is well dis-
posed to Russian interests, the Csar has not been
able to provide for the Messes of Prieelaisff and
Kherson, without withdrawing a portion of his army
from the Crimea. The Gass& states that the let
brigade of the 14th division of reserve's expo which
took part in the defines of Sebastopol, has marched
to Nioolaieff, and artillery had also been detached
from Prinos Gortohakors army, with the ease
destination.

The Danube of Vienna states that the corps of
Grenadiers, which foe a considerable time was sta-
tioned at Perekop, hes marched to Simpheropol in a
strength of eight regiments. It has not hitherto
taken any part in the present war. If on this
account it be admitted that the regiments are of their
normal strength, the corps should present an effective ,
form of about 28,000 men. "It is commanded,"
says the Dowd" the sole authority for the statement
of its 'Amos, "by Generals Plastic, ficherkoX and
ffrylofE The Grenadiers are scoompanied by their
division of artillery under General Korniloff. The
position of the 7th division of meshy, which left
Poland simultaneously with the Grenadine, is un-
known."

According to Li Nord, Admiral Brut has ad-
droned a letter to the military authorities of Odessa
in which he compliments them very highly upon the
heroic resistance made by their countrymen at Lis-
burn. For three days the firing against the three
forts on the spit was heard at Odessa, /Lisburn being
distant from that city only forty miles as the crow
dies.

The .7alreal do livoicfort states that it is eon-
adored at Vienna that military (moats have taken a
tuts which maxi soon place in a stronger light than
ever the necessity ix the Germanic Confederation to
act with energy sea collective power in the Eastern
gelation. The Boorsonseitung mys that the Austrian
troops occupying the Principalities are to take up
new positions before the commencement of winter.
The army corps of occupation will be considerably
reinforced.
