THE CRIMEA.

A letter from Sebastopol of the 30th 1,0., 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. Tho 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. Ye,terday I was on
guard at Fort Nicholas, just opposite Fort Catherine,
and I amused myself by 'ooking at what was going on
with a spy-glass. A Russian officer was at the same
time spying at me, and at list 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 night 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. It is, however, to be pre-
sumed that the greoter 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 am 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 AsmodSe, steam-frigate, arrived here last night
from Kinbourn and Eupatoria, bearing Rear-Admiral
Pellion's flat. Admiral Bruat has published an order
of the day, dated from the Montebello, in the roadstead
of Kinhourn, Oct. 27, in which he nighly eulogises
Rear-Admiral Pellion's gallant conduct in the expedi••
tion to ICinbouro. Captain :llaussion de Cande, of the
Trident, has just been appointed director of the port of
Kamiesb, in place of Captain Suisset, of the Alger,
who returns to France. The new director has taken up
his residence on land, as the Trident is also to return
home."

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVMNING.
We read in the Monitetir :—" According to in-
formation derived from 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 t of the gendarmerie of the
Imperial Guard that has returned from the Crimea
arrived in Paris yesterday. The force, numbering
about 300 men, marched along the Boulevards, 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 kackney coachma,bn,.who
murdered his fare because he was ordered Ythe
police to return an overcharge of 2fr., was
yester-
day sentenced to death.

THE BALTIC FLEET.
REVEL ROADS, Nov. G.—The appearance of the
country around this has in one night been sub-
jected to a perfect transformation, and from its
autumnal hue has assumed the garb of winter, and
a thick coating of snow covers the island of Nar-
gen and the opposite shores of Revel, presenting a
scene similar to that witnessed by some of us in
the Arctic regions. Our blue jackets have been
engaged in the novel and exciting task of clearing
the deck of its coating of snow, the fall of which
having for a time rendered all exercise aloft out of
the question.

Tlie air is very cold, and heavy falls of snow
have continued during the day. We may, in
consequence, expect a speedy termination to our
cruise, as it would be madness to incur such
risk as we now are exposed to, without any
adequate advantage to be derived from it.
If we deem it expedient to withdraw from these
waters, it is evident the more timid navigators of
the enemy's vessels will not venture out of their
winter quarters ; and even if such a step were
attempted, our flying squadron, consisting of some
of the finest screw frigates in the world, would at
any time be a match for, if not superior to, any
force the enemy may have disposable at this season
of the year.
The Exmouth, Colossus, James Watt, and Vol-
cano have left for the hospitable and snug harbour
of Kiel.
The Duke of Wellington, Orion, and Majestic
follow after the departure of this mail, which the
Vulture carries to Dantzic.

The Retribution, Esk, and Firefly have joined
from the Gulf of Bothnia, and the Dragon and Tar-
tar are daily expected.
The Magicienne, Geyser, Driver, Locust, and
Centaur are still here, as are also the French liners
Tourville and Duquesne.

SARDINIA.
TURIN, Nov. 8.
By letters from the Sardinian camp of the 28th
ult. we learn that the Himalaya had arrived at
Balaklava with 1,200 men of the Contingent, in six
days and a half from Genoa. The health of the
troops on board had been excellent. Some cases of
cholera had, however, appeared among those re-
cently landed from the Varo. At Yenekoi, on the
Bosphorus, the cholera had broken out with much
virulence, there being as many as 40 cases a day,
and nearly all fatal. The extraordinary part of
this attack was, that it was confined to the Greek
population and spared the Turks and European sol-
diers, but it was thought advisable not to send the
Sardinian convalescents to the hospital there.
In the valley of Baidar a heavy cannonade had
been heard for two days. The Sardinians had re-
ceived orders to suspend all reconnaissances because
an attack was anticipated in the valley of Inker-
man. The decorations, dr.c., from their own Go-
vernment for the affair of the 16th of August had
arrived, and the General commanding the expe-
dition has issued the following General Order in
consequence

" It-is with the greatest satisfaction that the General-
ie-Chief announces to the expeditionary corps that,
hardly had his -dajesty recovered from his late malady,
when he deigned to award recompences to those soldiers
who had most distinguished themselves in the Battle of
the Tchernaya on the 16th August last. His Majesty
has expressed himself fully satisfied with the manner in
which this corps conducted itself at the said battle, and
was pleased to deterri.ine that the officers proposed for
the silver medal should receive, instead, the insignia of
the Military Order of Savoy, now reconstituted with
new splendour. Such demonstrations of the Sovereign's
condescension must ever be a noble stimulant to prove
more worthy of it, and must make this corps desire still
more to deserve well of the King and the country every
time that circumstances present an occasion."
