and anchored there. _

The following appeared in our Third Edition

of yesterday :
A telegraphic despatch received yesterday after-
noon at Hamburg from St. Petersburg states
that the Allied fleets anchored off Odessa on
the Bth.

At the time that this very important telegra-
phic announcement was sent from Odessa to the
Russian capital the bombardment had not com-
menced, but it was momentarily expected.

THE CRIMEA.

The Journal de Constantinople has the following
from the Crimea, dated 23d ult. :

"The English fleet left Sebastopol on the 22d, with
troops on board, for Eupatoria, where a diversion is to
be made against the Russian army, at the same time
that an attack will be directed against it on the side of
the Tchernaya. Marshal Pelissier is now in the plain of
Baidar, and it is generally believed that the allied
armies will take the field on Wednesday next. Future
operations, however, are kept so secret that there is no
telling what they are to be. The Generals-in-Chief
have for some days held repeated councils of war, the
result of which has not transpired. The troops chosen
to participate in the field operations are the 2d corps of
the French army, the Highlanders, the Guards, and two
other English divisions, the Black and Yellow brigades
of the Piedmontese army, and 12 battalions of the
Ottoman army, commanded by Osman Pasha. The
entire cavalry of the allies is to accompany the expe-
dition. Strong batteries are being erected beyond
the Redan for the purpose of opening fire upon the
north side of the bay. Sebastopol will evidently be-
come the centre of operations. It is intended to extend
the railway to the inter;or of the place. Mr. Beattie,
the director of the road, has been for some days examin-
ing the ground through which the line might pan in the
direction of Inkerman. The Russian prisoners state the
retreating garrison have thrown into the port 500 or 600
brass guns, and they even mention the spot where they
are immersed. Divers will shortly be employed to ascer-
tain the correctness of the statement. The admirals
were likewise desirous to know what could be done with
the sunken ships ; but the result of the inquiry made by
their orders convinced them that the fleet was lost both
for them and the Russians. The Governors of Sebas-
topol have received many applicitions- from merchants
and shopkeepers at Balaklava and Kamiesh for authori-
sation to form establishments in the city. Others have
proposed to reopen two or three hotels, the sign-boards
of which still exist, and to repair and furnish them at
their own expense. Two or three comfortable hotels
would certainly be of great use, and might be profitable
to the owners, as tourists abound in the place. Every
day intrepid amazons are to be met with riding through
the streets and promenades, and many visitors have al-
ready inscribed their names on the walls of the principal
edifices."

THE WAR IN ASIA.
ERZEROIIII, Sept. 11.—Letters from Kars of the
Ist and 3d inst. state that the Russian cavalry
patrole the whole country, and watch with the
greatest attention all the roads by which Kars is
approached. Corn is exceedingly scarce here, and
detachments as continually being sent out for the
purpose of procuring fodder. The Russians op-
pose to these detachments boThe dies

of the horses, both of the cavalry and artillery,
was such that the Machir determined to send them
from Kars. More than three thousand, with a
thousand riders, left the city on their road to Olti.
The Russians received intelligence of this, and fell
upon the troop near Chiakmak, between two and
three leagues from Kars, on the night of the sth
inst. They put the Turks to flight, 200 of the
latter being left on the field of battle. The rem-
nant fled in various directions. A few hundred
men and horses arrived in Olti. Of the remainder
we have received no account.
To show the miserable condition of the cavalry
of Kars, it will be sufficient to state that of four
regiments of this arm of the service, forming a por-
tion of the corps from Arabistan, only four squa-
drons can be got together. These, united with the
model squadron, form our whole force of cavalry.
The infantry and artillery are no better off. They
are ill clothed, not paid, miserably fed, and shoe-
less.exam plFortunately forofththeme.t,rGooepnse.ral Williams and

It is cleat, thew, that vnuOliag cavalry, the force

at Kars is neither in a condition to retreat nor to
give battle. Obliged to shut itself within fortifica-
tions, a force of 10,000 Russians is sufficient to
keep the garrison in check. Such a blockade will
take place if General Mouravieff is obliged to send
reinforcements to the army called together to op-
pose Omer Pacha. Kars, however, under these
circumstances, would be enabled to receive provi-
sions, and would hold' its own until the retreat of
the Russians should open the road to Erzeroum.
It is satisfactory that in Kars the sanitary condi-
tion of the people remains good. There an; not 300
invalids in the hospital. Cholera has, however, been
prevalent in the province ; it is on the point of
vanishing here. In the military hospitals about
two deaths per diem happen from this cause, and
in the city horn three to five.
An adjutant from the Seraskier arrived here yes-
terday from Constantinople, with orders to pay the
Bashi-Bazouks at the rate of 60 piastres per month
per man. The difficulty will be to find them, as
many of them have deserted, and they have been
decimated by cholera.
r There is no doubt that the arrival of Omer
Pacha with his army will give the Russians some
uneasiness ; but it is a question whether he will be
able to save Kars.

The Russians have retreated from Melasghirt
and Bulanmek to Tlch Klisia and Deli Baba. One
battalion took shelter in Erivan. Yesterday we
heard that some sqaa.drons of Coisasks had been
seen on the road to Hinis, situated about 20 hours'
distance from here. Their intention must have
been to intercept convoys.
Cholera still rages amongst the troops at Olti
and Hassan Kaleb.

The adjutant mentioned above brought money
to the amount of 14,000 purses for the army. With
this remittance the military chest contains about
50,000 purses.
