RUSSIA.

We tare received the St. Petersburg journals of
the 18th inst. The Journal de St. Petersboui g
says :

"The state of suffering of Aide-de-Camp General
Prince Menschikoff has so increased of late that on the
2d inst. be was obliged to give up the command of the
troops to Aide-de-Camp-General Baron von Osten-
Sacken. A repert from General Osten-Sacken, dated
the Bth of March, announces that the siege works of the
enemy, against the fortifications of Sebastopol, advance
very slowly. Their mining works are driven back by
us with constant succesP, and turn to their own detri-
ment.

•
"On the 6th of March a French battery threw about
30 rockets into the town, but they did no harm. •
"The artillery of our batteries, on the contrary, and
that of our steamers act with great success."
The Invalids Russe says :
"The following report has been received from Lieu-
tenant-General Baron Wrangel, who commands the de-
tachment at Eupatoria, It is dated February 22
(March 6) :
" Lieutenant-General Korff, in command of the de-
tachment which encompasses Eupatoria, informs me that
on the 21st Fab. (March 5) the enemy made a sortie
from Eupatoria with six squadrons of Turkish Lancers,
and two squadrons of Bashi-Bazonks, add vigourously
attacked the centre and teft flank c f oat-advanced posts.
The Cossacks, who formed the advanOed line, fell back
upon the main guard of the Lancers of the regiment of
Novomirgorod.._ Lieut.-Col. Nikoritsa, in command of
the advanced posts, ordered out half of the 7th squadron
of the said regiment, and sent for the Bth squadron of the
Lancers of Novoarkhangel. The Turks, on approaching
our Lancers, halted and opened fire. At this. moment,
Lieut. Kozulkine, in command of the 6th squadron. of
the regiment of Novomirgorod, who was returning
from the advanced posts to his quarters, baying
just been relieved, on hearing the fusllade, ordered his
de'achment to wheel round, and, advancing under
cover of a ravine, be fell suddenly on the right flank of
the Turkish cavalry, with the Cossacks of the sth sotnia
of the regiment of the Don, No. 61, of Jiroff. Simul-
taneously with this attack Lieutenant-Colonel de Wein-
ing, seeing the Bth squadron of the regiment of Novoar-
kbangel approach, charged the enemy in front with the
7th squadron of the regimert of Novomirgorod, while a
portion of the Cossacks, the let, 33, and 6th sotnias of
the regiment of Jiroff, commanded by Major Sdlivanoff,
charged with the left flank of the enemy's cavalry. The
Turks thrown into disorder by the vigorous charge, took
to flight, and we pursued them for nearly 3 werstslby the
Lancers and _Cossacks. Great confusion arose in the
town ; the enemy's infantry in great force began to leave
it, and form mitside. '
" ‘Lieutenant-ColonelNikoritsa then ordered the pur-
suit to stop, and the squadrons to return to their former
positions at the advanced posts.
" 'The enemy lost more than 40 killed during our first
attack, and left many dead behind them during the flight.
" We made eight prisoners, nearly all severely
wounded.
" On our side we had one Cossack killed and one
Lancer of the Novomirgorod Regt. seriously wounded ;
Lieutenant Tairoff, of the same regiment, and three
Cossacks, were slightly wounded.
. .

" 'The cause or thi; brilliant success, with so small a
loss on our side, is to be attributed to the rapidity of a
simultaneous attack on three sides.

" Without speaking of his intrepidity and coolness.
Lieutenant-Colonel Nikoritsa showed on this occasion
much talent and presence of mind. Lieut. Kozalkine
also contributed to the success of the affair by hastening
to the scone of battle without orders on hearing the fu-
sillade.' "

FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

The lioniteur publishes 'the official return of the
oust( m revenue for last month, which amounted
to 10,706,963 f. ; being 316,366 f. more than in the
corresponding period of 1854, and 1,068,790 more
than in that of 1853. The receipts for the first two
months of the year have amounted to 23,208,957 f.
being an increase of 3,784,336 f. over the corre-
sponding period of 1854, and of 4,625,235 f. over
that of 1853.

It has been stated that a bill has been presented
to the Legislative Body authorising the inscription
in the Grand Register of the Public Debt of 41 and
3 per cent. routes to the amount of 9,541,615 f. 55c.
capital. The explanation of this measure, given
in the expose des motifs, is to this effect :

"When the loan of 500,000,000 f. for the war wa,
called for, the subscriptions were so numerous that
these of 500 f. of rente and under alone amounted to
850,000,000 f. It was therefore determined to accept
such subscriptions only, and to reduce them from
850,000,000 f. to 500,000,000 f. The subscriptions of
10f. were, according to the conditions on which the
'loan was announced, accepted in full, but those of
500 E were subjected to proportional reduction. It
was then found that each subscription of 500 f.
would be a little more than 290 f. It was, how-
ever, thought that it would be more convenient,
both for the public and for the Government, to make
each subscription the round sum of 300 f., instead of an
amount of odd figures. A measure to that effect having
been resolved on, the total amount of the loan was
raised to 509,541,615 f. 55c. The additional 9,541,615 f.
55c. will serve to pay the discount allowed on subscrip-
tions paid by anticipation, and certain unforeseen ex-
penses ; so that the 500,000,000 f. will be retained intact
for war purposes."

A short delay has taken place in the departure
of the Imperial Guard for the Crimea. The fol-
lowing is the order in which the several battalions
will leave Paris :—On the 27th, the Ist Grenadiers ;
28th, the 2d ; Ist April, Ist Voltigeurs ; 2d, the
2d do. ; 3d, the Foot Chasseurs ; and on the 4th
the Gendarmery. All these battalions will proceed
by the most rapid means.
The Turin journals announce that King Victor
Emmanuel will proceed to Genoa to be present at
the embarkation of 'the Sardinian troops for the
Crimea.

General Prim, Count de Reuss, has arrived in
Paris.

The following private telegraphic despatch has
been received here :

"MARSEILLES, 26TH.
" The Thabor has arrived from Constantinople,
which place she left on the 15th. It had been
found necessary, after an examination of General
Monet's wounds on his arrival, to amputate two of
his fingers.
" The fort in advance of the Malakhoff tower was
terminated. ,

" The intelligence from Odessa is to the Bth. A
corps of Greek volunteers was forming there."
According to accounts from the Crimea, brought
by the Canada steam-frigate, the allies are said to
have opened the fire against Sebastopol on the 14th.
An enormous amount of projectiles had been
prepared for that purpose.

' A letter from Vienna of the 22d, in "the Silesian.
Gazette, says :—" As Ali Pacha cannot leave Con-
stantinople as soon as was intended, Riz9. Bey will
be present at the conferences until their conclusion.
Riza Bey, who for five years filled the post of first
Secretary of the Turkish Embassy at Paris, is one
of the most distinguished statesmen of Turkey.
The Chevalier Timothee Knesewitch, the Envoy of
Prince Alexander of Servia•, who is charged to re-
present the interests of that country in the present
negotiations, has arrived here. This diplomatist
has delivered a note to. Count Buol, in which the
present state of affairs in Servia is fully described,
together with such reforms as would be of equal
interest to the principality and to the adjoining
states. In this note Prince Alexander further pro-
poses that the above subject be taken into conside-
ration in conjunction with the negotiations now in
progress respecting Moldavia and Wallachia.'!

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Danube of
Vienua, says :—" Dr. Mandt, homoeopathic phy-
si▪
cian to the late Emperor, Las left Russia in great
haste and secretly. He is reproached with having
too long concealed from the august deceased that
his lung was attacked ; also with having himself
prepared the medicines destined for the Emperor,
instead of having had them prepared by a dru.g-
gi▪
st. 'Great irritation was manifested against him
at St. Petersburg, and the Emperor Alexander
himself advised him, it is said,
vto leave Russia."
