and would thus considerably embarrass the Russian
army in getting their supplies."
A letter from the roadstead of Kamiech, of 30th
ult., in the Moniteur de la Flotte, says :
"In one of the last armistices before Sebastopol to
remove the dead, General Totleben, who has organised
and directed the energetic defence of Sebastopol, pre-
sided over the sad ceremony on the part of the Russians.
He is a good-looking man, apparently about 36 years
of age, and of agreeable manners. He exchanged some
words with the French general who was opposite to him,
and then perceiving a lieutenant of one of the vessels
employed in the batteries, he saluted him and said
in French—` You belong, sir, to a corps which does
honour to your country ! The French navy is admirably
represented before Sebastopol, and we know that wher-
ever it is, as recently at Kertcb, it is faithful to noble
and generous traditions.' This was pronounced in a
pleasant voice, and without the least foreign accent.
General Totleben appears to be very much liked by the
Russian soldiers, but the officers seemed rather jealous
of him, owing no doubt to his rapid promotion. A French
advice boat went yesterday to Eupatoria to convey
Lieutenant-Colonel Osmont of the Staff to lenkale, of
which place be has been nominated governor. The
selection for this post of Colonel Osmont who has
rendered great services at Eupatoria is unanimously
approved of. Yesterday a magnificent three-masted
Russian ship the Maria, which was sailing under
the Tuscan flag, was seized in the bay of Kazatch,
by Lieutenant Sauze, director of the port at Karniesb.
The admiral has provisionally declared the seizure valid,
and the vessel is to be sent to France. Admiral Bruat
has written to Admiral Lyons a very touching letter
expressing his sorrow at the dreadful misfortune which
has befallen him on the death of his son. The screw
ship of the line the Napoleon, which carries the flag of
N ice-Admiral Charner, is to leave in some days for
Toulon for repairs to her engines. Admiral Charner,
who has been replaced in the fleet by Rear• Admiral
Pellion, is to return to France in this fine vessel. The
Consuls of Austria,'Sardinia, and Naples, at Kertch,
have addressed a letter to the commander of the steam
corvette the Phlegeton, thanking him, his officers and
crew, for having, when off that port, taken measures for
the preservation of order.

RUSSIAN REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE

CRIMEA.

( From the Press of this day.)
We have received the following communication
from a high authority at Berlin :
BERLIN, July 10, 1855.
I hasten to communicate to you the impOrtant
intelligence that the Prussian Government have re-
ceived positive information from St. Petersburg that
the effective army of Russia amounts, at the
present time, to 650,000 men. Of this, force it
is ascertained that there are 140,000 in the Crimea,
and that already General Luders and General
Grabbe, the former With 80,000, the latter with
60,000, are advancing to the relief of the garrison
of Sebastopol by forced marches. The knowledge
of these facts, proceeding from an authentic source
to the Court of Berlin, has produced a great sen-
sation here. It cannot be doubted that Russia is
straining every nerve to secure the active co-
operation of Prussia by an imposing display of her
strength. Nor can it be a matter of surprise that
the intelligence I have here conveyed to you should
have great weight in her councils.

FIRE AT ST. PAUL'S, WALWORTH.—At an early hour
yesterday morning a fire broke out at St. Paul's Church,
Lorimore-square, Carter-street, Walwortb. The fire
was not extinguished until considerable damage was
done to the roof of the vestry. The fire originated by a
defect in the flue.
