THE CRIMEA.

A letter from Sebastopol of the 30th ult., in the
Semaphore of Marseilles, says :
" There is now only one regiment left to occupy this
place, and all the duty of the place falls on its back, but
all this additional work only increases the gaiety of the
soldiers. The regiment is encamped in the gorge of the
flagstaff battery, where the men are somewhat sheltered
from the fire of the northern forts ; the officers take up
their quarters in any of the houses near which may suit
their fancy. The Russians are bristling the heights on
the north side with batteries. Yesterday I was on
guard at Fort Nicholas, just opposite Fort Catherine,
and I amused myself by looking at what was going on
with a spy-glass. A Russian officer was at the same
time spying at me, and at last we saluted each other
as politely as possible. Other Russian officers afterwards
came forward, and other salutes were exchanged. I
was standing on the top of the tower, and might have
formed a good target for them, but no attempt was
made to fire. I know not whether the enemy have a
supply of provisions for the winter ; if not, they will
probably soon make a move towards Perekop, at least
a great part of them, for the road by the steppes is
impracticable in winter. 16 is, however, to be pre-
sumed that the greater part of their supplies was in
this place, for all the houses are full of sacks of that
horrible biscuit bread, which is such stuff that it ought
not with any decency be given to pigs. I aria told
that a terrible bombardment of Fort Constantine is to
take place soon, in which the floating batteries will
take part. I cannot guarantee the authenticity of this
report, for Marshal Pelissier is more silent than ever
on his intended movements."

A letter from Kamiesh, of the 30th October,
says :

" The Asmodde, steam-frigate, arrived here last night
from Kinbourn and Eupatoria, bearing Rear-Admiral
Pellion's flag. Admiral Bruat has published an order
of the day, dated from the Montebello, in the roadstead
of Kinbourn, Oct. 27, in which he nighty eulogises
Rear-Admiral Pellion's gallant conduct in the expedi-
tion to Kinbourn. Captain Maussion de Cande, of the
Trident, has just been appointed director of the port of
Kamiesh, in place of Captain Suisset, of the Alger,
who returns to France. The new director has taken up
his residence on land, WI the Trident is also to return
home."

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

We read in the Moniteur :—" According to in-
formation derived front foreign sources some jour-
nals have announced the loss of the Colbert steam-
corvette, said to have taken place in June last in
the Japanese Sea. The last accounts which the
Minister of Marine received from that vessel were
dated the 30th July last, when the Colbert was at
Shanghai. In leaving the port of Nangasaki
(Japan), on the 21st May last, she grounded on the
southern point of the Island of Gotto, but she
almost immediately after floated and reached the
Port of Shanghai where she repaired all her
damage. None o e crew were either lost or in-
jured.
The first detach tof the gendarmerie of the
Imperial Guard tha has returned from the Crimea
arrived in Paris yesterday. The force, numbering
about 300 men, marched along the Bouleyards, dis-
playing its tattered colours, and was loudly cheered
along the route. The men looked much fatigued.
They proceeded to the Tuileries, where they were
inspected by the Emperor.
Collignon, the wretched hackney coachman, who
murdered his fare because he was ordered bythepolice to return an overcharge of 2fr., was
yester-
day sentenced to death.
