VIENNA, OCT. 28.

General Prince Gortschakoff has received,
through General Stackolberg, full powers from
the Emperor to defend or abandon the Crimea,

FRANCE AND THE TWO SICILIES.
PARIS, TUESDAY MORNING.
The subjoined announcement appears in the

Moniteur :

"On the 15th of August last the French ship
of war La Gorgone, at anchor in the Fort of Mes-
sina, celebrated there the fete of the Emperor.
The Military Commandant of the place, although
apprised of the celebration by the Vice-Consul of
France and by the Civil Intendant of Messina,
did not comply with the usage customary between
friendly nations, and did not hoist the Neapolitan
flag.
" The Government of the Emperor having
complained of this want of courtesy, the Minister
of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Two
Sicilies has, by order of his Sovereign, forwarded
to the Minister Plenipotentiary of his Imperial
Majesty at Naples a note, which happily con-
cludes this disagreeable incident.
" The Neapolitan Government expresses its
regret that the Military Commandant of Messina
should not have complied with the intimation
given him by the Civil Intendant ; and it gives
the assurance that formal instructions will prevent
in future in all the ports of the Two Sicilies the
omission that has occasioned the just complaints
of the Government of the Emperor."

WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.
SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.
The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship La
Plata, Captain Weller, has arrived here, with the
West India, Mexican, and Pacific mails.

(Prom the Supplement of the Invalide Russe.)

Prince Gortsckakoff transmits the following de-
tails, under the date of Oct. 19, 5.30 p.m.
The movement of the enemy's ships towards
Eupatoria continues, as well as the landing of
troops at that place. We can perceive also that
the camp below Eupatoria has been greatly ex-
tended.

On other points of the peninsula nothing of
importance has occurred.

The following telegraphic despatches have been
sent from Nicolaieff to St. Petersburg by order
of the Emperor :

NICOLAIEFF, Om. 18, 9.30 P.M.

The Nicholas Battery, situate on the right bank
of the embouchure of the Dnieper, on the low
point of a promontory, and separated from the
fortress of Oczakoff, which is on higher ground,
was uselessly exposed to inevitable destruction if
bombarded by the enemy ; we therefore blew it
up this morning at 6 o'clock, after baring with-
drawn the garrison. At 8 o'clock a steam frigate
and a gunboat of the enemy's fleet quitted the
liman. Ten steamers and six gunboats have
moved to a position higher up the river.
At two o'clock in the afternoon two screw ships
of the line, of 80 and 90 guns respectively, sepa-
rated from the fleet, and steamed in the direction
of Oczakoff. The rest of the enemy's ships re-
main anchored in the same position they held
yesterday.

NICOLAIEFF, OCT. 19, fi 35 P.M.

Since the despatch of yesterday left to the pre-
sent time the enemy has attempted nothing of im-
portance. The fleet, which is lying in the open
sea at some distance from the mouth of the liman,
has not changed its position. The same number
of vessels remain at the mouth of the river. One
of the gun-boats, while taking soundings, ap-
proached the entrance of the Boug. This morning,
the vessels moored in the road of Oczakoff, were
reinforced by 2 mortar-boats, 11 gun-boats, and
2 steamers, detached from the fleet. We can
count 8 vessels of different kinds.
The enemy have increased the number of their
tents pitched on the Spit of Kinbourn ; there is no
movement in this direction.

BERLIN, MONDAY EVENING.

The rumour of considerable religious discontent
existing in Russia is confirmed by a Government
circular just issued to the Russian clergy :—" He
who doubts the Czar to be the sole protector of
the Orthodox Church is declared to be an apos-
tate."
The negotiations between Austria and France,
now actively proceeding,'are said to relate prin-
cipally to the affairs of the Danubian Principali-
ties, which the Emperor Napoleon 111. desires to
have immediately arranged.
General Canrobert's mission to Sweden is re-
ported to have the same object as the visit of
Admiral Dundas—to obtain permission for a por-
tion of the Allied fleets to winter in Swedish
porta.
