" The result of the different observations at the
camp leads to the belief that the Russians are
making preparations for a new attack notwitk-
standieg their recent repulse at Traktir. Their
disastrous failure has not removed the desire or, to
spook more correctly, has not removed the necessity
of making another attempt. Their situation is
thought to be unbearable. Such at least is
the general though, perhaps, the too easily
credited opinion of the Allies, who believe
that not only are provisions but the munitions of
war failing the Russians. The fact that the trans-
port of munitions from Odessa to the north fort of
Sebastopol has been put up to public contract by the
government of the former place would seem to give
strength to this belief. News of a painful event has
arrived from the Crimes. A Russian shell fell acci-
dentally into the midst of a French magazine, coa-

killing, it is said,—but we trust the number is
exaggerated—horn 200 to 300 men."

The Russian army in the affair of the 16th ult.
was, according to the Prase d'Orient, composed u
follows :—Coeps of General Liprandi, 20,000; corps
of General Read, 20,000; cavalry, 6,000; en-
gineers, 2,000; riflemen, 1,000 ; artillery, 2,400 ; in
all, 61,400, with 160 pieces of cannon. The cavalry
were not engaged. General Gortchakoff remained on
the heights with a strong reserve.
An order of the day, published at St. Petersburg,
on the 29th alt., contains the official announcement

that General Pucheanet IL, who has hitherto com-
manded the artillery of the active army, has been
named commandant of the 3rd corps of infantry, vice
General Read, deceased. General Stankowitsh 1.,
first commandant of Nowogeorgienk, how been ap-
pointed chief of the artillery of the active army, in
lien of General Pochsanst.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY EVININO.
I have reason to think that it is prudent to put a
sober and modest construction upon the comfortable
phrase in General Peliaaier's despatch " all goes well."
There is indeed little or no doubt that we shall take
the Malakhoff tower if the Generals continue to think
the prise worth the sacrifice which it will cost. Mai
ores? Reliable private letters confirm what I stated
some days ago, that within the Malakhoff line the
Russians have constructed new batteries of almost
equal strength with the fort which we have been so
long besieging. Assuming that our troops gained a
footing in the Pdalakhoff, it is next to certain that
they could not remain there in the teeth
of the tremendous fire that would be opened
upon them. Moreover, the communication between
the northern and southern part of Sebastopol is com-
pleted, the inhabitants of the town-proper are prepared
to evacuate and cross the bay, on the other aide of
which, under the protection of the formidable northern
forts, ample preparations have been made for enabling
both the garrison and the population to pass the winter.
The Russian government has renewed its contracts
for victualling Sebes:opal up to April, 1856—a cir-
cumstance of some importance, as showing that in its
own opinion at least there will be a garrison to vic-
tual all through the winter. Now, although I think
it right to mention these things, I must add that the
rumour of the day in government circles is that
"excellent news are expected." But the govern-
ment has often already shown itself too sanguine.
The tenor of reliable private accounts is, that no
bombardment and no assault is likely to reduce the
place. Much glory may be gained by the Allies, and
much misery inflicted upon the enemy, but until
their supplies are cut off by the investiture of the
place, there is every probability that they will con-
tinue to maintain an army in an impregnable posi-
tion. Southern Sebastopol may be taken, but a
northern Sebastopol will grow up to replace it.
A Milan letter, of Aug. 29, in the Constitsdionnel,
contains some rather exciting intelligence. It says
that within the last twenty-four hours the public
mind had passed from a state of dead calm to one of
great uneasiness. Exaggerated rumours of the bad
understanding between the French and Neapolitan
governments were whispered about in all directions.
and at length it was asserted and very generally
believed that the cabinet of Paris had resolved to
send an army of 40,000 men to Naples. The govern-
ment at first paid no attention to these rumours,
but at length it saw reason to connect them
with seditious manifestations on the point
of breaking out, according to various reports,
either on the Swims or Piedmontese frontier, or as
some said, in the interior of the Lombardo•Venetian
previous. But from whatever cause, the fact is cer-
tain that the government suddenly broke up the Soma
camp, consisting of 12,000 or 14,000 men, and
marched the troops into Milan. At the moment of
closing his jotter, the correspondent learnt that a great
many arrests had been made, the details of which
were kept profoundly secret.
I learn that orders have been given for the im-
mediate formation of a camp of 6poo cavalry, at St-
Maur—close to Vincennes.

The Parse gives it u positive that the Kiog of.
Sardinia will arrive in Paris on the 16th of this
month.

Abd-el-Kader, whole arrival at Marseilles has
been announced, has been detained there by serious
illness.

At the Bourse, the settlement being completed,
there wu a marked disposition to bay the Rents, and
a rime of 65c. was effected, the closing price being
67f. The Credit Mobilier shares rose sfr., notwith-
standing the oontradiction of the report that it wu
about to augment its capital, which some persons
apprehended might produce a fall. Bank of Brazos
(in which business is not usually done every day) fell
20fr. In most of the railways there was little busi-
ness doing. The Southern rose 17fr. 60c. Autrians
were in great demand, and rose 10fr.

A letter from Savoy of the 29th alt. says that awl
levy of 13,000 men of the elms of 1854, is being
proceeded with most actively in all parts of the pro-
vince, and that when it shall be completed, a new
levy of 14,000 men for the class of 1865 will be
made. Substitutes supplied by the State, who cost
1,200 fr. previously to 1848, and I,Boofr. since then,
now cost 3,800 fr.; and it is considered a privilege to
obtain them at that price. Private persona have to
pay ea mach as 5,000 fr.
