THE CRIMEA.

The Russian organs in the press affect to feel as
much security with regard to Nicolaieri as it for-
merly did about Sebastopol. The National Gazette
of Berlin, which supports Russian interests, an-
nounces that the Boug has been rendered impractic-
able to the extent of several miles by means of
materials sunk, infernal machines, and batteries on
the coast. Five corps d'artnee, reinforced by mili-
tia, are to unite iu preventing the Allies from
gaining possession of the place. Notwithstanding

all these means of resistance, it appears that the
Czar has thought it advisable to change his resi-
dence, and if the Austrian Correspondent may be
credited the Emperor Alexander has already left
for Elizabethgrad, situated 130 English miles to the
north of Nicolaieff.

. The Austrian Gazette contains a letter from
Kalish of the 21st, which says :—" All the troops
passing through Nicolaieff on their way to the
Crimea are reviewed by the Emperor Alexander.
Amongst others the Emperor inspected the Hussar
regiment of the body guard, which left the Baltic,
provinces in August last year with three light regi-
ments of the guard. Battalions of militia are ar-
riving daily at Nicolaieff, and are being directed
on the Crimea and other points of the Black Sea."
A letter, of Ist Oct., from the colony of German
Mennonites, near the Sea of Azoff, published in
the Berlin Kreuz-Zeitung, says that within the last
few days upwards of 1,000 waggons, each drawn
by two horses, have passed through with corn
and flour for the Russian army in the Crimea ;
besides which they carry provisions and provender
with them for three weeks' consumption, and are
to convey provisions from Perekop to Sitnpberopol.
It is said that the nobles have made a present to
the Emperor of this large quantity of provisions,
and placed the means of conveyance at his dis-
posal. There can be no doubt of the existence of
►n unknown military road into the Crimea, with an
organised system of relays of waggons and horses
to transport the sick and wounded into the interior
of Russia. In many parts of the coast of the Sea
of Azoff the enemy have certainly committed much
havoc, but the quantity of grain destroyed is for-
tunately not so large as might have been expected,
and the price of wheat has not risen in consequence,
but remains at the former price of 4i roubles per
tschetwert.

FRANCE.
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.
The Duke and Duchess of Brabant left St.
Cloud for Brussels yesterday, at 2 o'clock p.m.
Their Royal Highnesses were accompanied by
Prince Napoleon to the station of the Northern
Railway, where they were received by M. Firmin
Rogier, the Belgian Minister, and Baron de
Rothschild, President of the Board of Directors:
Prince and Princess de Chimay accompanied the
Duke and Duchess to Brussels.

The Levant mail has reached with intelligence
from Constantinople of the 18th. General Vivian
was preparing to embark for Kertch, with the re-
mainder of the Anglo-Turkish Contingent. The
Bashi-Bazouks, who are to form part of that corps,
had been reviewed by the General, and were shortly
to leave for the same destination. Troops con-
tinued to arrive daily from France. On the 18th
1,200 men of the 64th Regiment of the Line had
landed from the Panama steam frigate.
The accounts from the Crimea of the 15th pre-
sented little or no interest. Fresh troops were to
be sent to Eupatoria. It was said that the oorps
of army operating in that direction would be rein-
forced by three divisions. The Russians, who at
first were alarmed by the agglomeration of the allied
troops in that direction, and had considerably in-
creased the force opposed to them, had subsequently
withdrawn them into the interior, as if they
wished to avoid a collision. On the other hand,
the French corps, which had advanced beyond
the Belbek, where it was supposed they intended
to take up a position, had been ordered to return
to their former quarters on the Tchernaya and in
the Valley of Baidar. It was accordingly believed
that the allies would confine themselves during
winter to attack with vigour the forts situate to the
north of Sebastopol, and drive the Russians out of
their positions. Preparations to that effect were
making, in spite of the attempts of the enemy to
retard them by daily increasing the intensity of his
fire against the town.
Lord Lansdowne has arrived in Paris.
