EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Maim OVAL OWN

PARIS, SUNDAY BUNNING.
It is affirmed that the Universal Exhibition will
be reopened in the month of May next year.
According to another rumour, circulated to-day,
General Canrobert will shortly be appointed to a
command. It is added, that a grand army is to be
formed, which is to remain in France ready for any
eventuality.

Letters from Turin state that the Chevalier
Mounds, Secretary to the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, is to be appointed Minister Plenipotentiary of
Sardinia at Madrid. The same correspondence an-
nounces that the new Minister of Instruction, M.
Lanza, who has lately published a new plan of W-
I strut:don, has not succeeded in conciliating the sym-
pathise of any one. His system is dictated partly by
• religious and partly by a military spirit, the absur-
dity of which is striking ; it Is more suitable for a
college of Jesuits than for a free nation.
The subscription opened at Turin in favour of the
Piedmontess army in the Crimea has already reached
60,000 francs.

The brigade of Light Cavalry are under orders of
embarkation, and, it is understood, will proceed to
Bupatoria, Lord George Paget commanding. The
13th Light Dragoons bays been embarking at Bala-
klava to-day. It is difficult to understand, consider-
ing the little probability of the services of this body
of troops being required in their present position,
why they were not sent to Eupatoria a month ago.
Them, in conjunction with the French and Turkish
cavalry, they might have been employed with ad-
vantage in harassing detachments, or cutting off con-
voys proceeding to the enemy. At this late period of
the season there will be risk and difficulty in convey-
ing the necessary stores of forage and grain which
will be required should the brigade, as seems likely,
remain there during the winter. The exposed nature
of the bay, open as it is to the effects of storms from
the south-west, and the experience of last November,
point out the difficulties that may be anticipated in
this respect. A force, amounting to 1,500 men, of
the beige train artillery, is also under orders to move,
and the supposition among the troops is that they
also are destined for Eupatoria. It is net easy to
reconcile the departure of this arm of the service for
defensive purposes, with the general belief; which
holds, that the enemy is retiring towards Foretop;
bat the explanation given is that, not being required
at Sebastopol, our artillerymen are going to take the
place of Ottoman troops who are leaving for the seat
of war in Asia.
The reports respecting the departure of the Rus-
sian army are very contradictory. Certainly the
encampments on the Intermian heights have dimi-
nished in extent during the last few days. There is
neither the same number of tents, nor, aa he as tele-
scopic observations afford information, are there the
*awe evidences of movement and activity. Bet these
troops may have only moved to occupy other posi-
tions. On the north 'Meet the roadstead, the camps
have also diminished in size and number. Four
sheds only remain out of all the nume-
rous rows and streets which formerly com-
posed the canvas town, or Russian Badikei.
Therm sheds are apparently the oily sullies' stems
which exist in this situation, and is spit* of the risk
from the French shells which oceasiousily explode

mumps of the long-coated soldiery standing before
them. The fire from the batteries continues very
active. The enemy must be aware that compara-
tively little damage can result to the ruined town

The Bing of Sardinia is expected to arrive at Paris
on the 20th of November. Hie Majesty% health is
better. It appears that anxieties connected with the
official badmen of the Court were the sole cause of his
state of health being impaired.

The mass obtained by the Allies at Bieber°
farms the meet important topic of the day. The
Assembles Nationals had anticipated that event in an
article which fails, however, to enlighten the public
on the [stare intentions of the allied commanders, for
your contemporary thus vaguely expresses itself :
" /Unborn once fallen, it may easily be conjectured
what the allied corps d'artnee. sufficiently reinforced,
will undertake, but it would be improper in any
meaner to point out the operations in question."
We expect here before many days are over some
important sews from the Crimea. Despatches which
have reached the French Government announce that
Marshal Peliasier and General Simpsea bun can-
silenced great operations.
We read is the Patrii r

menu are removed, the forts on the north side of the
roadstead, and the fortified positions alai t
Mackenzie heights, cannot be abandoned. Gnaw
D'Allonville, commanding the cavalry dieiget
at Eupatoria, is said to have reported that body,
of troops have balm moving toward Perekop, by
the roads of the interior. Troops can only mantle
very small bodies at a time from tiimpheropol to
Perekop, or, if is oonslderable force, must be rapidly
conveyed, and water carried also. The only Imo,
afforded by the country is found is wells, end the
supply from these sources is very limited is quad%
and; brackish and bad in quality. It will Naito
great dexterity and caution on the part of the Raelk
commanders to evacuate the Crimea in the midst tg
the difficulties by which they are surrounded, with.
out serials losses, if our Generals are on thawed.
The French troops continue to advance in a soak,
easterly direction from Baidar, approaching reweige
the valley of the Belbeck river. News hen bout

French troops coming upon a Russian position Mei
one of the sources of the Belbeck among the Surdas
range of hills. It was occupied by a force at bur
double that of the French; but at the approach of
the latter the Russians hastily abandoned the pi.
L tion and fled.'

Notwithstanding that a general belief prevail;
before mentioned, that the expedition which left bre
days ago is to prcoeed to the northern coast of the Blreft
Bea, and not to Eupatoria, there is still an expects,
tion that a combined attempt will be made either
surround or to carry by direct attack the Ramis

the harbour. The men of the Highland Blois*

troops embarked at Balaklava to-day, to proceed to

An agreeable and beneficial change of wrath,

had been wet, gloomy, and cold, but • sudden hub

genial, almost summer-like temperature and also

sheds and shelter of a more substantial kind the
tents, spinet the trying severities of the appeashie
