_-...- of 112 DAILY me.)
PARIS, FRIDAY Byname.
The news of the serious reveres (for it moot be
otherwise described) sustained by the Allies before
Sebastopol has been received by the Parisian pulite
with greater sang fronl than might have been ex-
pected, eonsidsring their extreme susceptibility on the
point of military prestige. General Pelissier's des-
patch is singululy candid. It says, in 'plain terms,
that the attack " did not succeed"—the attack re-
ferred to being a great operation prepared Wag be-
forehand, and expected to be decisive—and there is
not a word to attenuate the importance of
the failure, except the last consolation of
a defeated army, that the retreat was effected
in good order. As a matter of couese the question is
now asked whether anything has been gained by the
substitution of General Peliesier's daring for General
Canrobert's caution. But all criticism on the military
tactics which resulted in the disaster of the 18th must
be idle in the present state of our information. This
reflection, however, must force itself upon the atten-
tion of all those who have attentively watched the
course of the war—many highly respectable
military opinions have been given to the
effect that Sebastopol could never be taken
unless it was completely invested. It therefore be-
hoved those upon whom rested the immense respon-
sibility of undertaking a partial assault, involving the
immense loss of life, which it is impassible to doubt
has now taken place in an unsuccessful attempt, to be
very careful that their calculations were well founded.
It is to be hoped that no undue interference with the
unity of command, either from London or Paris, may
have goaded perplexed commanders to a terrible
esterprise upon unsure grounds. The utmost
uneasiness is felt by families who have re-
ladles in the army of the Crimea. The ominous
phrase in the Moniteur,thst itis" impassible to state
1 the losses with precision," is interpreted with too
much reason as meaning what is plainly said in a
telegraphic despatch from Undoes that they are
"severe." People derive no consolation from another
despatch of this day's date from London, which re-
presents Lord Raglan as reporting that the loss was
"not very considerable." This is manifestly a mis 7
take of the telegraph.
1 The Bourse, although greatly agitated by the uts-
looked-tor bad news from the East, did not give way
to anything like the extent that might have been ex-
pected. In all probability the news, known to a few,
must have produced its effect to a great extent

The Empress, whose departure for the south has
been postponed, will now, it is said, leave Paris for
the Pyrenees on Sunday. Her Majesty, who takes
with her the Princessd'Essling and very few other
person., will remain in the Rooth about a month. M.
Fould, the Minister of State, has been occupied dur-
ing his stay in the south in preparing the residence
of Biarritz for the reception of the Imperial party.
It appears at present doubtful whether the Emperor
will be able to accompany her Majesty, as was at

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jens 14.
It may not be generally known in England that
the Emperor Alexander IL, in issuing his late mani-
festo regulating the regency in case of his death
before the majority of his eldest son, is only following
the common custom in Russia introduced long ago
by his predecessors on the throne. The late Empe-
ror Nicholas had also made • similar arrangement in
case of a minority, and designated his younger
brother, the Grand Duke Michael, as eventual re-
gent. The Emperor Alexander 1., who died without
issue, took the same step when his next brother, the
Grand Duke Constantine, married the Polish
princess Lowics, née Countess Grudzinsks, and re-
nounced his rights of succession to the throne.
In both the manifestoes hitherto published by the
present Czar, the expressions relative to Poland and
Finland are deserving of notice as being quite new.
In future manifestoes these expressions will probably
be changed, to make room for the more significant
and expressive term of "incorporation," u was the
case with other provinces obtained by conquest in pre-
vious wars, such as Lithuania, Caucasus, Georgia, and

Kasen.
Hitherto Russia has remained for some time passive
on the aide of Moldavia, but she has not neglected to
strengthen her position in that quarter in a quiet
manner. Thus, at the mouth of the river Pratte, she
has a formidable flotilla of 18 heavily-armed gunboats,
and two larger war-steamers, with 8 guns each. At
Kilia are stationed 12 gunboats and 2 armed steamers.
and 6 gunboats are lying at Tschetsl, the advanced
post of Russia on the Black Bes, where also, as well
as at the Bnlioa month of the Danube, are erected
formidable land batteries. The mouth of the Pratt
has also been strongly fortified.
The steam-boat company of Peterhof have com-
menced running their vessels on excursion trips
out to Cronstadt, to give the inhabitants
an opportunity of witnessing the present- ats-
peens°s of the formidable works for their
defence. The Newa river steamers, among others
the Sylphide, take up passengers at the quay here,
and carry them to Peterhof, and the to the Cron-
stadt forts, where they run through the Russian fleet,
which is now taken out of the basins and moored in
the channel. Screw gunboats are lying under cover
of the large lineof-battle ships. The hostile fleet
are plainly visible, anchored off Tollbukin lighthouse'
and behind the island fortress of Risbank lies a Reit-
sian steam frigate with her steam 000tinually up,and
ever on the watch and ready to take advantage of
any single Tempel coming too near or other chance
circumstance. The excursion party are then taken
round to the north aide of the island. where are sta-
tioned the floating batteries and another division of
the gunboat flotilla. Moored alongside the floating
batteries, on the north side of Cronstadt, are the line-
of-battle ships Pamiat-itsowa (the Sea of Asoff),
Digermanland, and Seissoi-Welild.
