The Geniis des Pastes contain' the following:
"VARNA, Nev. 4.
"The fire of the batteries on the south idde of Se-
bastopol against the northern forts redoubled on the
closing days of last month. Since the 30th, the
floating batteries, armed with oannons of the strong-
est calibre, have been ready at Lamieseb, and are to
take part in the fire against Fort Constantine.
The fleet at Hinburn has received orders to send the
mortars and large gun-boats at the mouth of the
Dnieper to Kamissob. It is positively stated that
after the arrival of these boats a fire from land and
sea will be simultaneously opened against the forts on
the north."

is which the Moniteer of this morning makes keeps
le the public that there have been rumours '
amp of Ministry, at the sum tint that it
that these rumours have any foundation, and severely
idimetim the authors of them. It is said by the
llariitotr that whenever the governmset takes any
measures of general utility, the individuals whose in-
terest, suffer spread reports of a change of Ministry.
The application of this charge to exist.r
leg oiroutostanum Is a pusle. People are at
a lou to know what are the measures and who are
the people referred to. The only striking measure
of public utility taken of late has been the tax apoia
meat. The butchers feel much aggrieved by it, but
it can hardly be supposed that the rumours of a mi-. 1
nisterial crisis can have originated with them. TIR
official columns of the Monitor have beam so barren
of late that I cannot make any other suggestion eves
fee the purpose of contradiction, unless it be that the
measures alluded to may perhaps be some that have
not been made public', as, for instance, an Werke-
MOO with the Bank of France or the Credit Mobilises
The paragraph which has excited attention was the

A coorrespsedist of the Pays, writing front St.

the Grand Doke Coaatantine had tamed s plan for
the invasion of England; that the plea was at one
moment approved of by the Our Alexander, and
that the enterprise would have been attempted but
for the inflames of the Espies of Ramie, who
spgssed it; sad farther, that the Grand Doke is at

ment would may let him, he mold burn London.

evening of the 28th, giving warning of expected
attack by the enemy across the harbour, in the boats
which they still possess up the creek to the north
thefierbour. The mime evening the Armenian church
was on fire, which, as one looked down into Sebas-
topol, had a mast striking offset, increased in great
measure by the columns standing oat so boldly.
This stone building was during the siege always
called the Club-house; and in the Ithistrated Loses
News, where there is a capital sketch of it by M.
Goodall, it is called the Theatre although them is a
cross on the building. In like manner the large
building which, before the fall of the place
was always denominated Prince Menohikoff 's Pa-
tios, turns out now to be the Sailors' Home.
Our army still continues to bring out ci
the Karabelnaia suburb large quantities et
timber, rope, window frames, and glass enlist
and by this means and grubbing up stones, most ci
the officers of each corps have succeeded in building
small comfortable huts, or are now in the act of doieg
so; each hut generally is made to contain two small
cribs, and very often a small cook-house is built ad-
joining. The new single-lined huts that have been sent
out are a disgrace to the country. Yesterday I walked
into one of them, and I can users you that
I counted upwards of twenty spots where
the planks or boards were en thin that you
could see daylight through. If it is considered ad-
visible to double-line for the winter the old single
huts, the new single ones require it much more;;
the new doable-lined hats are everything that is de-
sirable. The enemy have thrown up another battery
on the Inkermun heights, and on the north side
they have commenced to erect stone buildings, which
does not look much like a retreat. The French have
lately marched two regiments to the field of 'akin-
mann ; but, until then, for some time back, this
ground was left undefended, so that the Rootless
might have advanced and attacked the 34th Regi-
ment, and Captain Gleig's battery, which are en-
camped by the old engineer park, near the far-famed
mill. If it was not for occupying Preach ground,
the third division of our army would be of far puttee

where it is now. The troops are now getting good
Used four days in the week. in fact, u often as the

bakeries attached to divisions, a third at Ka-
dtkoi, end the steamers Abundance and Bruiser.
These two iron vessels are each of about 800 toss
berthas, and 80. horse power,their original names hav-
ing been the Alfred and Robert Stephenson. They
were purchased by Government, fitted up at Deptford,
the Abundance as a bakery, and the Bruiser as
a mill ; and finally came oat hue in May. The
former vessel contains four beautifully-made brisk
OM., each of which holds 13 to 14 bushels,
and with the assistance of a small 10-horse power
engine, 24 bakers, 3 superintendents, and a few
labourers, turns out 18,000 tbs. of bread daily, or
8,000 31b. loaves, equal to 12,000 men's daily rations
of bread, at a pound and a half for each soldier. at''
portion of the German Legion is expected next week,
and will be encamped in front of the 90th
Light Infantry, in the Light Divisive, close to
Lientimant-General Codriogton's head quarters.
There is some talk of Admiral Sir Houston Stewart
taking command, for the winter, of the Black Sea
fleet, vice Sir Edmund Lyons, who proceeds to Malta
with a portion of the present fleet. Most of the
sailing vessels are being sent home, so as to leave
the transport steamers here for the rough months.
The new road to Sebastopol is progressing quickly,
hat the butting of the army in the front is progress-
ing bet slowly. Col. Gordon, whose name isao inti-
mately connected with the siege and British right
attack, arrived at the Royal Engineers' camp on
Sunday.
Liget. James, R. 1., who was taken prisoner on the
' 2nd of July, whilst putting the chevaux-de-frise across
the Worossoff road, which was afterwards so dis-
gracefully allowed to be taken away and destroyed,
returned to camp on the 26th. It appears that a
sensmandant happened to be looking through his
sketch-book and noticed some rough sketches of Sebes-
tepol that the lieutenant had previously taken from his
window, so he was not allowed to communicate with
the English prisoners, nor was ,he exchanged at
Odessa at themune time that Colonel Kelly of the
34th Rightmost, and Capt. Montagu were. The Ike-
siege actually went so far at we time as to put a
mounted sentry over his door. Lieut.-Cols Lilly, who
was taken prisoner on March 22, with Capt. Montagu,
R.E., when repulsing the famous sortie, considers he

The English mail, due yesterday, has only just
arrived at head-quarter. (8 a.m.). The army generally
will be very fortunate if they get their letters by to
This, of course, will preveat most letters from
being answered, for the letters for England have to
leave the diffseent camps for head-quarters on Tues-
days (to-day) and Saturdays, at 8 and 9 a.m., and it
is seldom, if ever, that one will get a letter taken in
at headquarters after noon. No. 1 General Order of

" urgent private affairs." It really was beginning to
