THE CRIMEA.

A letter from Berlin, in the Post Arnpt Gazette,
says :

" According to the last accounts from the Crimea the
Russians are using every effort to repair the injury in-
flicted on them by the occupation of Eupatoria by the
Turks, and it is expected that a fresh attack on that
place will be made. A Russian camp has been estab-
lished at Orto-Oblaun, to contain 40,000 men, to watch
Eupatoria, and be charged with the operations to be
undertaken against that place. The Turks are fortifying
every point, even on the side of the lake of Sasik,
from whence any attack would be most difficult, parti-
cularly as any enemy advancing on that side would be
exposed to the fire of the fleet. The most considerable
fortifications are, however, being made on the north and
north-west of the town. In order to prevent the Turks
from interfering with the reinforcements coining from
Perekop, the Russians have established moveable co-
lumns near Eupatoria, who immediately make known
any movement that may take place. During the bad
weather a part of the Russian army were sheltered in the
villages in the interior of the Crimea. With respect to
the troops in the neighbourhood of Sebastopol, the Rus-
sian advanced posts in the valley of Baidar have retired
on Karlowka, and are in communication with the main
body at Tchorguna. General Liprandi is on the Inker-
man road, with his centre at Tchorguna, and his left
wing in the valley of Baidar. His right wing is in
communication with the corps of Gen. Osten-Sacken,
which extends along the line of the northern port of
Sebastopol, and from the ruins of Inkerman to the north
fort. The garrison of Sebastopol is at least 40,000
strong, and Prince Menschikoff has, moreover, concen-
trated 20,000 men in the neighbourhood of Bakshi-Serai
to cover the road from Perekop, or to relieve any point
that may be threatened. Between Eupatoria and Sebas-
topol are three divisions, in order to paralyse any opera-
tions which might be attempted by the troops from the
former place against Sebastopol."
AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the Bth, in the
Constitutionnel, says :—" As soon as the Em-
peror became acquainted with the maiifesto of
the Emperor Alexander 11., a courier was sent
off to St. Petersburg to the Archduke William.
I have it on good authority that the greatest reserve
has been recommended to the Archduke, and that
he is to return as soon as possible. Couriers were
also sent off immediately to the armies in Transyl-
vania and Gallicia, directing them to hold them-
selves ready to move at any moment."
A letter from Vienna of the Bth says :—" The
persons belonging to the Russian Embassy here
took the oaths two days ago to the new Emperor,
before Prince Gortschakoff; and on the same day
passports, in the name of Alexander 11., were de-
livered. Count Bokrenski, who lett on that day
for St. Petersburg, was the first who received one.
Among the personnel of the Russian Embassy
are, next to Prince Gortschakoff, M. de Fontin,
who has the title of Excellency, and Major-General
Count Stackleberg, who acts as Military Plenipo-
tentiary of Russia at the Court of Vienna. M. de
Prokesch-Osten had an audience yesterday of
the Emperor. M. de Bruck is confined to his
room by a slight indisposition."
PRUSSIA.

The military deputation which is to be present
at the funeral obsequies of the Emperor Nicholas
left Berlin for St. Petersburg on the Bth, after
having a private audience of the King.
A letter from Berlin of the Bth says :—" The

King this morning presented at a Council of Mi-
nisters, and it is said that very important matters
were discussed. It is reported that the Emperor
Alexander 11. has written an autograph letter to
our King, in which he requests him in the most af-
fectionate manner to assist him with his counsels
and support in the present grave complications.
It is rumoured that the Grand Duke Constantine
is to come to Berlin, and that the Empress
Dowager of Russia intends to take up her residence
here."
