CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Ocr. 18.
Great interest is taken by the Allied armies is the
two expeditions that have sailed hence, via., the one
for linburn, situated on a tongue of land near the
mouth of the River Bug, leading up to Nicolaieff,
eourrising of 10,000 use, led the other for &pato-
ria, consisting of 800 sabres I but no one appears to
hint at the chance of any more being started this
winter. In feet every officer who does not know
that he is going home is employing himself and his
esswents in hutting and laying in stores for the ap-
proaching cold season. The expedition to Kinburn
consisted of 4,000 ,Roglish and 6,000 French, the
termer number being made up of the Ist brigade of 1
the Fourth Division, 1,000 marines, 60 sappers, with
4 engineer officers, and a small detachment of
artillery, the whole under the command of
Brigadier-General the Honourable A. Apemen
The object of this expedition is to stop the Odessa
supplies bring conveyed up the rivers Bug and Dnie-
per, and thence to Perekop ; and the object of that
to Bupatoria, under the command of Lord George
Paget, is to harass and out off the convoys coming up
to provision the Russian army on the north side of
Sebastopol.
The French and Russians still keep firing away at
sash other, but apparently for no earthly purpose
except to annoy each other; and I can assure you,
without affectation, that most of us are getting quits
sick of the sound of artillery.
Omer Paths, who went through this on his way to
Hare, has taken with him a large portioo of the
Turks who were encamped at Alan, and the re-
mainder will shortly follow.
The French, I understand, have established them-
selves beyond the Hatch', and are going soon to
relieve all their outposts.
At Balaklava the fatigues are furnished by the
old left siege train artillery and portions of the
82nd and 89th Regiments. The former service is, I
hear, very much disgrudedat having this duty imposed
upon it; but, in my opinion, very absurdly so, for it
stands to reason that when the men of this branch of
the army are not employed in particular duties, they
ought to east in making roads, and furnishing
labour to their skilled brothers, the sappers, who are,
of worm, occupied in erecting and repairing huts and
hospital.

BERLIN, Warmasnar.
It is reported here that Prinoe Gortohakoff has
represented to the Emperor Alexander that there
are great difficulties in his present position, and
asking for instructions as to whether he shall risk
1 a decisive battle or evacuate the Crimea. The Em-
peror has thereupon sent Generals Benkendorff and
Haekelbarg to the Crimea to maks a personal is-
speedo°, and upon their report future movements
depend.
Rumour adds that the Cur has sprained his foot

I learn from a good source that the Bank of Francs
will not adopt any new measures in its weekly sitting
to-naorrow. To-morrow, or the day after, it will re-
ceive forty millions of gold and silver hich it has
bought in Holland. This morning there was pre-
sented to the Minister of Finance for his signature a
ministerial decree, opening, on savant of the dear-
ness of provisions, an extraordinary credit of five
millions of francs designed for distribution among the
clerks of the Po3t-ofilee. Every clerk is to receive
an additional payment of 100 franca • year.
The health of the Empress is now better. She was

There is very little progress to communicate from

was currently reported would take place in the course
of thin week has ended, as it began, in rumour. Yet
the arranpinents for an attack • against the.
enemy's peritioa on the Meekende heights,
in sauced with a corresponding movement
en the part of oar allies, wore mentioned
on high authority. The third and remaining brigade
of the Fourth Division wove to have this time the
