THE CRIMEA.

The Ost-L)eutsche Post of Vienna says Our
latest dates from the Crimea are up to the 27th
ult. A violent bombardment had been kept up on
both sides for some days before, but at last the Rus-
sian fire had begun to flag, and subsequently ceased
altogether, many of the Russian batteries having
been dismounted. It is said that the French havo
succeeded in opening a breach in the Malakhoff
Tower, but no assault has been made, because the
Russian batteries of the Tchernaya still commanded
that point of attack. The intention is, it is said,
that General Bosquet shall drive General Liprandi
from his position, while General Canrobert will
direct the operations against the Malakoff Tower
in person; General Pelissier commands the reserve.
From the heights of the French camp, caravans of
men, women, and children have been latterly seen
to quit Sebastopol with their effects. One of these,
which took the direction of Balishi-Serai, was pre-
ceded by a procession beallng sacred banners, and
escorted by about 40 Cossacks. Our letters state
that many Russian' soldiers take advantage of the
sorties to pass over to the allies.

RUSSIA.
.A letter from Odessa of the 27th ult. in the
Danube of Vienna says :—" The Russian Govern-,
ment has been wrongfully accused of having first
permitted the export of corn from Galatz and
afterwards prevented it. The, Austrian Govern-
ment interfered in favour of the merchants of
Trieste who had made purchases of corn before the
prohibition was published, and the vessels belong-
ing those merchants were permitted to leave. A
large number of vessels arrived immediately after
at Galatz, hoping to be able take advantage of this
permission, and it was then° that the Russian autho-
rities declared that no vessels should pass the
Danube except such as could produce certificates
showing that they belonged to the merchants at
Trieste."

'A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Cologne
Gazette, announces the death of Gen. Prince Argu-
tenski Dolgorouki, at Tiflis, on the Bth ult. Gen.

3d corps d'arniee.
A letter from Warsaw, in the Post Ampt Gazette,
states that after every sitting of the Conference at
Vienna, Prince Gortschakoff has sent off a very
full telegraphic despatch through Warsaw to St.
Petersburg. Prince Pask;ewitc't al-,n' t•i.icea c•,

sequently he called upon the Earl of Westraors-

rumoured that there will be no Conference he'
to-morrow, but that there will be on Tue4clah

sides, it would seem that this eminent statesman
has made preparations to sojourn here for
about a fortnight. As for reliable intelligen,c.e

Our political gossips have apparently exhaust%
themselves in idle and fruitless conjectures, for

permit us to quote the Wanderer : oh
