"Telegraphic despatch from Nicolsieff, forweviied'
by order of hie liejesty the Emperor, on the 17th of
October.—Owing to the situation of the fortress of
Hulbert', which rises at the Wrens' paint of the pen-
insula of the same name, on the left bank of the
Liman of the Dnieper, and at the very entrance of
that water, tbs, communications of Nicolsieff with
this fortress bad been carried on only by way of
Otchak,ff, and were maintained by means of row
boats, and of a marine optical telegraph established
at Otchakot
"Oa the appearance of the enemy's vessels in the
Liman, the direct communication by water with Lin.
burn ceased. From all the information received the
day before yesterday, yesterday, and to-day from
Otchakoff by means of this telegraph, the following
result is obtained: _ _

The fortress of /tinhorn, after having sustained
on the 15th a brisk cannonade, and a bombardment
of grin•boate, mortar-boats, and steam-frigates sta-
tioned in the Liman, replied to it on its own side by
a rapid and well-diricted lire of its gnus. At night-
fall the fire ceased on both sides. Yesterday (the 16th)
it was renewed, and was continued the whole day,
but with less vigour. This mornieg at 9 o'clock,
eleven additional steam-frigates and a 90 gun ship of
the line joined the vessels previously lying in the
Liman, and the whole eourmenoed together a most
violent horizontal and vertical fire, in which the
remainder of the enemy's fleet joined from the see.
" This infernal fire continued until halt-put two
in the afternoon. At that time the fortress, all the
buildings in ths interior of which were in &Mei,
ceased to reply, and the enemy then discontinued his
fire. At three o'clock, two boats bearing a flag of
truce approached the fortress, into which,
half an hour afterwards, entered the enemy's
troops, forming part of those who had
previously made a descent on the land. After-
wards the vessels lying in the Liman proceeded in
the direction of Otobakoff and the Nicolaieff bat-
tery, situated on the opposite coast; bat up to this
evening they have not opened fire.*

RUSSIAN DESPATCHES.

ST. PRTELSBURG, OCT. 26.

Nothing new had taken place between Kinburn
and Nicolaieff up to yesterday evening. The Allied
troops which had left Supatoria on the 22nd, re-
turned thither on the 24,11.

A despatch of Prince Oortchakoffs of the 17th of
October, 9.30 a.m., says: " The enemy's men-of•war
and transports continue to arrive at Eopatoria. Some
of them bare troops on board. Three divisions of
French ooeupy the peas commanding the gorge of
the Valley of Bakke, and another one is posted be-
' bind them in the valley itself. According to reliable
accounts, the enemy has erected barracks and built
earthen huts in the valley, end is now constructing a
new road from the old Chausees to Mordwinoffs
estate, on the Tammy& On the mountains of
Fedjochin earthen huts are also being constructed,
and from thence they are making a road direct to
Xamieech Bay. On the 15th inst. the enemy's fire
on the north side of Sebastopol wee more heavy than
usual. In the other parts of the Crimea nothing of
importance has occurred:

THE PANIC AT ODESSA ON THE ARRIVAL
OF THE FLEET.

(Continued free lut Pridars Zepras.)

ODEBBA. Oor. 9.
At noon this day the commandant of the troops,
Lieut.-Oeueral Orotenbjelm, proceeded in person to
the Lyceum and required the students to take arms
for the defence of the threatened city. All the
schools and public offices are closed, and the archives
sent into the interior for safety. This afternoon
some more ships have arrived, so that the number
now off the port amounts to 83 sail.
Five o'clock p.m.—All the squares are filled with,
soldiers, who are sitting and lying down on the
ground, so as not to be seen from the ships. In all
the churches prayers are being offered op to avert
the danger from this devoted town. Orders have
been given by the authorities to the German and
Bulgarian colonists to furnish 8.000 waggons to
transport the inhabitants with their moveable pro-
perty to a place of safeV.
Six o'clock.—ln the Lazzaretto there are 103 poor,
fellows sent up from Sebastopol, where they were
severely wounded. A white flag has been hoisted eel
the building as a signal to the enemy not to direct
their fire to that spot. Thirteen of the most danger-
ously wounded died in the course of last night, and
240 inhabitants of Eupatorie, who had been quartered
in the same building, have been removed to the
Botanical Garden, outside the town. . .

October 10.—The rumbling of ammunition wag-
gons, and preparations of the inhabitants to leave
the tows, lasted the whole eight. Patrols of cavalry
sod infantry perambulate in ell directions. The
right wing of the enemy's fleet is extending gra-
dually towards Otobakoff. Many people think that
the whole expedition is a manoeuvre of the enemy to
draw off our attention from the real point of attack..
What that point is, it is difficult to determine. Bowe
say Perekop, others Otchakoff. However that may
be, we have here an army of 45,000 meet, who.
though stationed along the road between Otchakoff
sad Lustdorf, can be osnamtrated on any given
point in a few hours. Qsartered in the town itself
we have the 11th Reserve Division and the bth bat-
talion of Bailee, b aides numerous artillery and Coe-
seek light cavalry
October 11.—The hostile Beet still remains in its
former position. From the Boulevard are seen fresh
troops coming in by the roads from Brigorefka and
Dofinoika. At 5 o'clock this ammo= two steamers
were seen to quit their stations in the line, approach
the fichtschegoleff Battery,and take soundings within
rouge of ear gums. It is therefore to be expected
that they will open their firs to-morrow. This eras-
ing the military bands played on the boulevard in
the facie of the enemy, who remained passive and
made no alteratioa is the position of his ships.
Bight o'clock.—Orders have jest been given
throughout the whole town to pat out all the lights.
A nocturnal bombardment is therefore expected. The
inhabitants await the result in breathless anxiety.
October 12.—Contrary to the general expectation,
the enemy has given to-day again no signs of own-
mooing hostilities. The night passed off quietly,
although bat few were able to sleep. Oar own affairs
occupy the thoughts of the inhabitants so exclusively
that nobody asks oroares about news from the Crimea.
Three o'clook.—A movement is perceptible in the
fleet, and several steamers are men approaching the
Peressip (the lower part of °deem).
