PLAN OF THE ALLIES.

VIENNA, Oct l&
Although by the latest accounts from Odes'
allied fleets were still lying at anchor off that tree
without having commenced hostilities, yet Whist
bag transpired to contradict the intelligence I ham
already sent you telegraphically and in my last letter
that the ultimate object of the expedition is the
liman of the Dnieper, and this is rendered the ses
probable as the larger ships are known to have bad
troops on board. It is certainly not impossible dal
a bombardment of Odense may take place u a dif•
sion, and till the arrival of the gun-boats and sionihg
craft which have been sent on to reconnoitre the 011.1
and take soundings of the channel. Bet it is
act
likely that any operations beyond a hombudwo
from the sea will be undertaken at Odessa, whieh
known to be garrisoned by a very Wog
Raswa
army, so that any attempt to land troop end lake
the place is the rear must be attended withoresto"
and prove a failure, or else the withdrawal eo
troops as would be necessary to insure meows
waakea the army of the allies in the Crime,
enable Prince Clortchakoff to take advantage of u"
false step and manse the offensive.
The Caw remarks that the reason why the BO
gang have hitherto met with such signal Wu"
all their operations in the Crimea is not a west
bravery and perseverance on the part of the treollt
nor from incompetency on the side of the coll°
menders, but from the fact that the Rerun sow
are taught to fight only in lug* more, by which,
case of anything going wrong, they are unit
thrown into confusion, and their officers
unable
restore order. Another reason alleged is. that Z,
commanding officers of corps have not saffici!!!_7,„,

For instance, in the battle of the Tehernerhoi

STOCKHOLM, Ocr. 9.
Is the ulcer part of the Golf of Bothnia the
Weeks& GI the oosist of Finland is do facto raised,
and morellos' vessels ars now °nationally visiting oar
ism northern ports. As far back as the 22nd of
September Ara Finnish vessels strived at Hadicks-
wall (lat. 82) from li3jorasborg and other adjacent
ports on the opposite coast with full cargoes of their
raw produce, which they bartered for that isdispen-
alga article of convomptioo, salt, of which such a
merrily exists throughout all Russia, and sailed on
their homeward voyage without any impediment or
wring anythiag of the blockading squadrons.
Two Swedish vessels, on the other hand, had boss
captured by H.M.S. Desrerate and navigated to
Memel in charge of English prise crews, it having
bass ascertained and proved that they had broken
the blockade and landtd cargoes of salt is ports as
the oast of Romig. They are the schooner Nebo,
taken at Amebae', as the island of 01164 and the
Fortuna, captured off Doenseasse.

August 186 vesags had boon captured and condemned

COPENHAGEN, Ocv. 12.
As might have been expected, the sudden dismissal
of the Hereditary Prince Ferdinand from hie military
command has canoed great excitement, especially an
the army, by whom he is greatly beloved. It was
iroowe that le was opposed from the very beginning
to the proposal for incorporating the whole menerehy
under one oosedtation, being convinced of die impos-
sibility of sinking se many heterogeneous deem*
sationahtise, and baggages in ems fume@ head of
Interest. Although sbveral prays this the

King is act--end as such is jo‘tified is expestlag to
obtain the Grown is the natural corms of events, as
be is the next in somession. It has bees stated that
be bed berm ordered to make a forced oljour foe the
present in the fortress of Fredericia, in Jutland; bat
this is not the case—the Prioos will, on the contrary,
very shortly proceed to Dresden, where he will, at
all events, spend the Cater. In his wish to avoid
giving eclat to his dismissal, Prince Ferdinand has
declioed receiving the addresses of condolence that
were intended to have been presented to hits by the
prrisons of Copenhagen and other towns hitherto
under his immediate command.

It had been generally expected that the Countess
Dower, the King's wife, would be raised to the rank
dDachau on the occasion of the King's birthday,
on the 6th inst., but it has now been put off till the
new year. Her title is to be Boobs= of VLyrka,
the ancient name of the eastern district of Hein
ea the Baltic.
