THE CZAR'S ADDRESS TO
HIS ARMY.
ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 11.
The Emperor has issued an order of the day
to the'army, communicating the fall of Sebastopol.
His Majesty thanks the garrison of Sebastopol
for the bravery they have displayed in defending
that stronghold to the very last, and declares that

he is convinced all the troops of the empire are
ready to follow their example in sacrificing life,
and everything, for the sake of protecting the re-
ligion, the honour, and the independence of
Russia.

The Emperor adds that he still relies with con-
fidence upon the firmness and courage of his
faithful and attached soldiers to repel every future
hostile attempt to violate the sanctity of th•
Russian territory, while he excuses the recent
failure at Sebastopol by saying there is a line
which is impassable even to heroes.

HAMBURG, SEPT. 16.
Several English war vesselm have recently made
a reconnaissance in Revel-roads.

The inhabitants were expecting an attack from
the Allies.

Meantime considerable additions were being
made to the fortifications of the place, and a large
quantity of infernal machines of a new construc-
tion had been received from St. Petersburg.

MARSEILLES, SEPT. 17.
An English steamer has arrived with official
despatches from General Simpson.
Troops are preparing here for the Crimea;

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 16.

The news from Naples is serious. The Inde-
pendance is informed by its Turin correspondent
that the Neapolitan Government has given Prince
Carini, its envoy at the Court of London, unli-
mited leave of absence. The agitation at Naples
is immense, and the rigour of the police without
example.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

The rumours which circulated to-day were very
favourable. It was said, first, that the North Fort
was abandoned by the Russians ; then, that the
whole of the forts were evacuated ; and, lastly,
that Marshal Pelissier's plans were of such a nature
that 20,000 Russians would be made prisoners by
the Allies. Every one seems so convinced that the
Russians cannot maintain their ground in the
Crimea, that credence is given to any report of the
kind that may be set abroad.
It was also current through town that Govern-
ment was in possession of satisfactory intelligence,
end that it was not unlikely we shou'd very shortly
hear of Liprandi being obliged to lay down his
arms, unless he should prefer making a desperate
effort to relieve himulf from what is described to
be a hopeless position.
The Moniteur contains the following paragraph :
"A few persons are prepossessed with an idea
respecting the strength of the north fort, to which
the garrison of Sebastopol withdrew after the cap-
ture of the city. The fort is not greater than any
one of the forts surrounding Paris."
Baron de Bourqueney is expected here from
Vienna for a few days. _ . . .

The King of Sardinia was expected in Paris to-
day, but it seems that his visit has been postponed
till the beginning of next month, when, it is said,
he will be accompanied by the Chevalier Massimo
d'Azeglio. Count Cavour, the President of the
Council, will join the King later.
The French papers print a report that the Czar
has written to the King of Prussia announcing the
fall of Sebastopol, and adds :—" Nothing is
changed. Russia will not make any advances to
wards peace which would compromise the dignity
of the Empire." The Russian journals all speak of
protracted resistance in the Crimea.
A soon as the news of the taking of Sebastopol
was confirmed, the members of the Circle of Ste-
Foi la-Grande (Gironde) went in a body, pre-
ceded by music and accompanied by the local
authorities, to congratulate Mme. Ducheylard, the
sister of Marshal Pelissier, who lives in that town,
and presented her with a splendid nosegay on the
occasion.

The Memorial des Pyrenees states that on the
reception of the despatch of Marshal Pelissier,
which attributes in a great measure to General
Bosquet the honour of the day of the Bth, a num-
ber of persons waited on Madame Bosquet, the
General's mother, who resides at Pau, to cou3pli-
meat her and to congratulate her on her son hav-
ing, although wounded in the arm, escaped the
greater danger. The following despatch was sent
by the Minister of War to the Prefect :—" Inform
Madame Bosquet that her son, the General, is go-
ing on well, and that he hopes by the next mail
to write to his mother with the hand of his con-
tused arm. Tbis good news, dated the 11th, is
sent to me by Marshal Pelissier."
The City of Baltimore steamer left Marseilles for
the Crimea on Saturday, with 75 soldiers on board,
3 officers, and 170 horses. She carried out in tow
the huge clipper the Great Republic, having on
board 75 soldiers, 6 officers, and 150 horses.
