THE BATTLE OF EUPATORIA.

TO TEM IDITOR OP THI DAILY NIIV/8.

SIS,-1. beg to correct a mistake which. occurs in
the name of an officer in your detailed amount of the attack
upon Bupatoria. The officer's acme who co amended the
battery which caused so much annoyance to the Bossism is
Colonel Balfour Ogilvy, and not u printed ty
yea. This is the same officer who, toast/ ,er with his friend,
General Cannon, relieved SHWA& by introducing 6,000
Turks into the garrison sir days pre* J ell to the Russians
raising the siege, and who, a few war afturwarda,
swished himself's° much at the bait/ of Giargeaa.
As your account of the battle of Bupatoria has derived
particular interest front being the f ,rat that Iris published,
and as Colonel B. Ogilvy has mar q friends in this count*
particularly in Scotland, who as e interested in his move•
mates I shah feel greatly oblige d by your finding space for
this in your valuable columns.- -I am, &c., J. 0.

PARIS, MONDAY WINNING.

The Park correspondent claw Indiposdonce Beira,
who signs himself " Y," is well known to be intimately
wieneeted with the French government, and his lenses
ban frequently been quoted in the Moniker. I.
theretors, think it desirable to call your attendee IDS
beta of his in yesterday's number of the Zedrlpme
dame, in which he discusses at much length the lees-
tioe whether, in the conduct of the war, Fraam sad
England have hitherto divided between them the
Amon labour, in such a way as to develop the
leerarces of the two countries to the best advantage.
Martini from the commonly-reosived opinion that
Frame is essentially a military, and England pin-
allay a maritime power, he argues that the English
iced be content to leave to the French the prin-
cipal part of the operations in the Crimes,
sad should furnish all the transports possible to carry
sat French troops. While we count by thousands
the men who land before Sebastopol, whole corps
orartnhs are necessary. Franco is burning to fur-
• them and ham abundant means, but, in spite
at all the energy of the Minister of Marine,
in spite of all the great improvements he has effected,
and notwithstanding the assistance hitherto afforded
by England, transport ships are still wanting. Let
England at once devote her whole energies to this
object, and for every transport she can furnish
Prawn will at aloe and soldiers to fill it. This cor-
respondent, as if speaking under the sense of said
responsibility, strongly protests against being maw
stood to entertain the remotest feeling of damp*
towards England in making the suggestion that she
should leave the most important part of the land
operations of the war to the French, and he pays
a handsome tribute to the soldiers of Alma
sad Inhuman. But in a partnership between
nations as between individuals, each partner
is not expected to contribute a precisely
equal part to the common fund, but to aid
the common enterprise according to the peculiar re-
mises and capabilities of each partner. The English
Will always be the misters at sea, and the occasion may
yet arise for their splendid fleet before Sebastopol to
play a brilliant part. The writer concludes with the
expression of a hope that his remarks may attract
attention.
The Petrie, in its " Latest News," states that, ac-
cording to the last letters from the Crimea, the
French have demolished all the southern part of the
town of Sebastopol which abutted upon the positions
of the besieging forme ; but the lower town is as yet
biped the reach of the French guns, and that is the
part of the place which the Russians have strongly
Unloaded.
The desemblee Nationale, alluding to the difference
between the text of the Russian manifesto and the
inaccurate summary of it transmitted by the tele-
graph, says :

mours of the negotiations for peace being likely to
take a favourable turn were extremely prevalent,
while the articles in the morning government journals
were more warlike than ever. It was said that Prince
Goetehakoff had received orders to accept the four
points without reserve. A new offer of mediation by
the King of Prussia was spoken of. The coutradio-

bad news from Sebastopol, which were perdue-

GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, llcacn S.
Within the last day or two the number of titled
travellers passing through this city on missions of cue-
loony to the northern capital has been very consider-
able. Amongst them are the Duke George of Meck-
lenburg Strelite and his duchess nee Grand Duchess
of Russia; Prince Peter of Oldenburg, who conies
up from Switzerland ; and Prince Bernhard of Solms-
Braunfels, half-brother of the King of Hanover, sent
by that monarch instead of General Halkett, who was
at first selected for the mission, but who, u an
Englishman, very properly declined going. Further,
Prince Hermann, of &xe Weimar, the son-in-law of
the King of Wurtemberg and colonel of the Horse
Guards, and Major-General Baron von Trotha—the
former on the part of the King of Wartemberg, and
the latter from the Grand-Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt.
A deputation of the 6th Cuirassier Regiment (of
which the late Czar was nominal colonel) is ordered
to proceed to St. Petersburg to represent that corps
at the futeraL It will consist of the lieutenant-colonel
and the senior officer and non-commissioned officer of
each rank.
In our political circle., opinions vary very widely
as to the effect which the death of the late Em-
peror will have on the aspect of European affairs.
Whilst one party believe that no change of system
can possibly take place, others opine that the demise
oldie Czar may lead to a modification of the demands
hitherto made by the Western Powers; and from
what is known of the pad& character of Alexander
IL, it is considered est unlikely that they may relax
the pretensions on white they so strenuously in-
sisted whilst Niebuhr' bold the destinies of Rusin in
his hands, but yid& now tan be left to the good
faith of his summeor. This differeace of opinion
cannot fail, however, to have an influence on the
negotiatioes gain es between Prussia and the Wes-
tern Passe, the mselesion of which will not appear
to be ee baleudikAir pressiog, u the conferences of
