We have received the Monitetor of yesterday.
The Moniteur says :-
1 " The Emperor left Paris to day to visit the
Camps of Boulogne and St. Ome r.
"The absence of his Majesty will be of short
duration.
" The Emperor arrived at St Omer at half-past
7 in perfect health."
The Moniteur also publishes the following :
" The Minister of the Marine and the Colonies
has received from the Crimea,
by way of
despatches, the
Bucha-
rest, the two following telegraphic
first from Vice-Admiral Bruat, the second from
the Commander of the Veloce, zt Eupatoria :
" MONTEBEL76O, KAMIESH,
FEB. 20.
'On the 17th inst. the town of Eupatoria was
attacked, on the eastern side, by 80 pieces of artil-
lery, six regiments of cavalry, under the orders of
General Korff, and 12 regiments of infantry, about
25,000 men, under the orders of General Osten-
Sacken. The combat lasted from half-past sin the
morning till 10 a.tr. The Russians were vigorously
repulsed. Thoir loss is estimated at 500 killed, and
the wounded in proportion. The 'Turks had 88 men
killed and 250 wounded. They lost 70 horses.
Solim Pasha, General of the Egyptian Division,and
Colonel R,ustem Bey were killed. Among the
French, 4 gunners of the Henri IV., were killed ;
7 more were wounded, 3 of the H enri IV., and 4 of
the Marines. The attack of the Russians has not
been renewed. The steamers at anchor in the road-
stead energetically contributed to the defence of
the town. I have sent the Brandon and the Me-
g4o to Eupatoria. Admiral Lye us has sent there
a steam-frigate, a steam-corvette, and two gun-
boats. " ' Vice-Admiral BRUA T.'

" c VELOCE, EupATORIA, FEB. 21.
Since the affair of the 17th the Russians have
not made any now attempt against Eupatoria. To-
day columns of infantry and trains of waggons were
seen leaving the vicinity of the town and taking
the direction of Simpheropol. Many villages are
still in flames in the neighbourhood of Eupatoria.
More guns have been landed and additional forti-
fications thrown up. The town is in a good state
of defence. 64 4 DE MONT LOUIS.' "
The Emperor reached St. Omer yesterday even-
ing, at half-past seven, in good health.
The Moniteur contains five decrees, confirming
nominations to the Legion of Honour made by
General Canrobert among officers, sub-officers, and
privates of the army of the East. •
The Univers says :—" We receive from London
a piece of intelligence of considerable importance
to the Catholics of England, namely, that the
Holy See is about to give a coadjutor to his Emi-
nence the Cardinal-Archbishop of Westminster.
Amongst the Catholics of London, the Rev. Dr.
Errington, the worthy prelate who occupies the
episcopal See of Plymouth, is generally looked on
as having the greatest chance of being selected by
the Holy See. The health of Cardinal Wiseman,
which we grieve to say is gravely affected, will not
permit his eminence to remain any longer without
an assistant.
The chaplain of the Semillante, whose soutane
was washed ashore, was the Abbe Carriere. The
troops which were on board were embarked at
Toulon on the 11th, but owing to the violence of
the wind the vessel was not able to put to sea be-
fore the 14th ult. In addition to her crew and
passengers, the Semillante had on board a number
of wooden houses, and a cargo of different descrip-
tions of goods, for the army in the Crimea. The
storm which caused the melancholy destruction of
this frigate appears to have been generally felt
throughout the whole of the island of Corsica.
The Emperor was to review the troops at St.
Omer to-day, and to visit Boulogne to-morrow.
