'ATOM FROM MARSHAL PRLISSIKR.

NEAD-QUARTEBS, SEBASTOPOL, Nov. 2.
M. le Mart ehal,--You have already been informed
that about the middle of October I sent General de
'Failly's &vision of infantry to Eupatoria. General
Simpson also ordered the embarkation of Lord Paget's
cavalry brigade with the same destination.
This aocesmon of strength would enable General
d'Allonville to obtain an insight into the dispositions
made by the enemy in the two directions of Perekop
and Simpheropol, to harass the great line of com-
munication that unites these two points, and to ex-
tend, in case of need, bat with the greatest prudence,
his action round Eupatoria. In order to put him in a
position for making several marches in this barren
and arid district, waggons, and sets of portable
pumps,. buckets and engines fit for working the few
wells in that region, had been sent to him from

Bunion*.
In the great reconnaissance effected between the
22nd and 24th of October, which I had the honour of
reporting to your Excellency, General d'Allonville
acquired the conviction that the enemy had selected
his points of concentration towards the south.
In order to ascertain this fact, this general left
Eupatoria on the 27th of October, in the morning,
with 24 battalions from the corps under General de
Failly and Ahmet Pasha the Moshir, 38 English,
Turkish, and French squadrons, and 56 guns.
Having arrived at 2 o'clock in the afternoon before
Sat, and having in front of him only a covering
line of Cossacks supported by a few squadrons,
General d'Allonville stationed the French and
Turkish divisions in echelons to the right in front of
Salt, the right leaning on the great muddy ravine
that runs towards this village, and be himself pro-
ceeded with all the cavalry and horse artillery towards
Tchobotar. which is about a league and a half disc

taut.
The enemy's squadrons continued to retire along
the Simpheropol road, and when our cavalry had
arrived to within about 1,600 metres of the positions
covering the point where this road crosses the Toho-
botar ravine, the Russians unmatled 30 pieces of large
calibre (32-pounders), the shells from which bust,
am our whole lies, killing four of our men, and
wounding 18. General d'Allonville then put the
numerous cavalry of the enemy cost/voting him to
the test. He despatched towards our left four Turkish
squadrons against 10 Russian squadrons, who did not
wait for them, but retired.
The enemy either did not dames did not wish to
engage, and it could notecase into Gen. d'Allonville's
mind to let himself be drawn on, with telly his ca-
valry, against defensive positions strongly protected.
The day was declining. The general decided accord-
ingly on rejoining the infantry, and he took ap a
strong position for the bivouac, his front covered- by
Salt, and his winp by the two neighbouring lakes. A
few English and French light moils, stein to steers;
along the bank, were ready to give the support of
their artillery in case it had been required; but the
Ginty did not attempt to make any attack.
It was probable that, in presence of this demon-
Wad s& the Russians would collect their disposable
Wen from the points occupied in the vicinity, for
tim purpose of obtaining_ their aid is defending the
reale sow menaced. With a view to get a better
judgment of these forces, and of the arrangements
@doped by the Russians, General VAllooville re-
solved to march again towards the enemy on the
18th. The keeping of Bak and the nether ravine
of Tchobotar was entrusted to the Turkish and Egyp-
tian infantry of the Mashie Menet Pasha; Gen. de
Pally took up his station with his division a league
In advance, and Gen. d'Allonville, with Lord Paget's
English cavalry brigade, Ali Pacha's Turkish ea-
'airy, sad the Freon cavalry under the canoe/dim.,
Walsin-Eeterhasy, marched eastwards in a &modes
between Temeech and Djamin, and pa,n along the ,1
Hessian positions out of the range of their gnus.
The enemy's squadrons fell back on our right and
Baked as ea oar march without disturbing it,
akberagli sae 'Beaky had advanced more than two
leagues ahead at our infantry.. In those movements
the Reeding showed about sixty squadrons, and it
was possible to distinguish earthworks and troops col-
lected in the direction of Mullet and Mob. After
attempting, but in vain, by a few manonvres to
brine about a cavalry combat in the plain, General
d'Allonville, who could not dad any water except at
Les, behind Toulat, fell back about noon oa °seen'
!de Failly's infantry, and with it regained in the
evening, without being pursued, his bivouac of the
-previous evening at SA.
The wells at Bak were nearly exhausted ; halt,
the hones bad not even been able to drink moreever.l
the essential object of this operation, which was to
reconnoitre the positions of the enemy in this quarter,
✓ was attained. General d'Allonville returned, there-
n fore, on the morning of the 29th to Zapata* after
ascertaining that on this side, as on all the rest, the
tn. entire circuit round this place had been evacuated
in that in a radius of seven to eight leagues the enemy
' had compelled the inhabitants to abandon all the
"n, laps, and that the Remise army did not maintain

' GENERAL CANROBEItT AT STOCKHOLM.

We read in the ifflonbladdpi of Nov. 7 :
"To-da at we o'clock, General Canrobert w.
received In andienee by the King, In his °opacity of
French ambassador. General Canrobert was car
veyed frost the Brosikenjerg Hotel to the royal red-
deco, in a state eartiage of theeoutt, drawn by eight
white hones, preceded by several Weider' and raw
aers, and surrounded by servants of the royal Ms"
allot whom were in grand livery. This carriers was
Mimed by another, drawn by four horses. in which
sat Colonel Comedy, General Cenrobert's
wasp; and Captain Bjoernstjerna, the King's aide-
de-sump, who, by order of his Majesty, will act se
aide-de-camp to the illustrious general during
his sojourn at Stockholm. Along the whole
routs the procession was saluted with cries of 'Vin
Canrobert! Vivs la France!' At the gate of the
King's palace General Canrobert was received by the
marshal of the kingdom, who conducted his excellency
into the presence of the King.
" To-day, the King will give a mod dinner to
General Canrobert. The high dieniraries of the king-
dom, and a large number of thichist civil and mili-
tary functionaries, have been invited.
"On Monday next a performanoe will take plass

beet. It will be Mozart's celebrated opera, the
• Unlisted's.' The King has moreover invited
General Canrobert to take his place in the box of
the royal family, whenever he may feel disposed to
go to the theatre."
We read in the same journal: " The high imped-
ance of the mission which General Canrobert bee
come to Stockholm to fulfil is seen in the fact that
the King has summoned Baron Manderstroem from
Vienna in all baste. The baron was formerly Minis-
ter for Foreign. Affairs, and is now Swedish and
Norwegian Minister Plenipotentiary to the court of
Austria."
The Boersenlialls has a letter from Stockholm is
which we read :
"At the palace the Ambassador Extraordinary of
the Emperor of the French was received with great
ceremony. The Princes Oscar and Augustus and
the Minister of Foreign Affairs were present at the
audience of the King, to whom General Cenrobeetl
presented an autograph letter from his sovereign ant
the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. An hovel
after this presentation the doors of the surnames
chamber were thrown open, and Colonel Corned;
was presented to the King.
" The ambassador then paid visits to the members
of the Royal family, and presented to the Prince
Royal the insignia of the order of the Legion of
Honour, as he had doss to the King. The audience
lasted two hours.
" At three o'clock the ambassador was escorted
back with the same ceremonial to the hotel of the
French legation, where he alighted. It is supposed
that his mom= at Stockholm will last at least eight
