THE WAR.

LANDING OF THE ALLIED ARMY IN THE
CRIMEA,.
On the morning of Saturday last, the 16th inst.,
despatches from Lord Raglan and Marshal St.
Arnaud reached Constantinople by special steamer,
announcing to the embassies•of England and France
that on Thursday, the 14th, a completely-successful
landing h-id been effected on the enemy's coast.
The intelligence was immediately communicated to
the embassies of friendly powers, and 'at 11 a.m. of
the 16th Baron Bruck sent off a Tatar with the fol-
lowing message to the head-quarters of Count Coro-
nini, at Bucharest :
" Constantinople, Sept. 16.
" On the 11th, 25,000 French, 25,000 English, and 8,000
Turks, disembarked at Eupatoria, without encountering
any resistance.
They immediately commenced their march to Sebas-
topol.
The transports have returned to Varna, to fetch the
reserve corps.'
This despatch arrived at pncharest on the 10th,
and at Vienna on the 20th: On its arrival in
Paris it appears to have heen distrusted by the
Government. The Mo?4teur published it only as a
private and unofficial message, and under " toute
reserve ;" but afterwards an official note was posted
at the Paris Bourse ratifying it with the authority of
M. de BoUrqueney, the'French Minister at Viernra.
To complete the authentication of this most 'im-
portant intelligence, it is added that telegraphic
accounts have been received by her Majesty's
Government from:Vienna and Bucharest announcing
that ihaillied forces' consisting of 25,000 English,
25,066 French, and 8,000 Turkishtroops, landed on
tbe 14th at Eupstorial without meeting any resist-
ance' and had commenced marching on Sebastopol.
Ithas been stated that shots were exchanged and
lives hist during the landing, hut this is not true.
The enemy% 'preparations were founded on a mis-
conception of the plan of the French and EngliSh
generals, and were directed` o the wrong point.
The chief French and English naval force was at
tbe entrance of Sebastopol, keeping guard over the
enemy's fleet during the landing. It is said upon
less certain authority that ships, with troops, are off
the fortress of Kinburp and Island of Tendra, near
Odessa with a view of intercepting any Russian re-
inforcements intended for the CrinJea. The whole
of this news came to band by telegraph, and is ne-
cessarily brief:

The instructions issued to the troops at Yarns on
the 3rd of September at the moment of embarkation,
and furnished to every officer in the fleet for his
guidance in the great operation of landing the arrpy
in the Crimea, have now been puhliqled in this
country. These orders convey by anticipation the
most accurate idpa that can be formed of the opera-
tion in which the forces were about to engage. It is
assumed, ip the first place, that the whole fleet, con-
sisting of sailing ships-of war, steamers-of war, and
transports, has accomplished the passage of that por-
tion of the Black Sea which lies between Baltschik
and the coast of the Crimea withinat accidents, and
without any material departure from the order of
sailing, tor thi place of every boat in each division
of the fleet is accurately determined,. and it is intended
that the divisions should advance spi.li the regularity
of an army in the field. It is probable, as has been
stated in some of the German papers, that the troops
will chiefly be conveyed in the transports, leaving a
sufficient number of line-of-battle ships to cover and
defend the enormous convoy, in the event pf the
Russian fleet attempting to molest the expedition.
But the whole naval armament will actively assist
with its boats and crews in the landing. The boats
will form and receive the nip on hoard on the of
shore side of each ship, partly toile nnder the shelter
of the vessel in case the enemy should open his ilre
from the shore, and partly f4O leave 4E4 vessel.at
liberty to open ber own ye on the lepd. This cir-
qunistance deputes that it is expected t e trOops will

of the fleet haying thus been tiljod with !POP, they
will form in three grand divisions-thee first pew
slating of all the launches and pinnaces from the
sailing•ships of the fleet, in which the /3rikinnfo's
boats will occupy the post of honour, on the epreme
right of the line; the second division will consist of
the paddlebox-hoats of the war steamers, towed by
their own cutters, and these will occupy the extreme
left; the central, or third division, will contain all the
baste of the transport service, and will, consequently,
be by far the most numerous. These three divisions
ill form one vast continuous line, keeping a distance
