I From the Crimea the news is to the 20th. The
fire of the Allies is inactive. Three new batteries
have been erected, opposed to the Northern Forts.

French cavalry, have returned to our lines on the
Tchernaya.

fast October, publishes a continuation of the

Nicolaieff to St. Petersburg, by order of the
Emperor

NICOLAIEFF, OCT. 20, 11.50 P.M.

"Up to half-past 6 this morning the enemy
had undertaken nothing new, and remained in
the positions they had taken up last night, that is
with the greater part of their force near the Spit
of Kinbourn, to the west and south, and 36 ves-
sels, steamers, and gun-boats in the road of
Oczakoff.

"At half-past 7 thirteen gun-boats and five
mortar-boats ascended the estuary, and at half-
past 10 entered the Boug. At noon they were
followed by six steamers and three new gun-boats.
" All these vessels proceeded up the stream,
and anchored at some distance from its embou-
chure. A part of this force was detached and
directed towards the mouth of the Dnieper ;
another continued to ascend the Boug, preceded
by rowing boats, taking soundings of the river.
" At half-past 3, when the flotilla had arrived
opposite the Volosch-kaia point a field battery
we had posted upon it opened fire on the ad-
vancing vessels, which stopped, and returned it.
The cannonade continued on both sides for more
than an hour. Tho enemy's boats then retired,
descended the river, and rejoined the rest of the
force anchored off the embouchure of the Boug."

THE CRIMEA.
We read in the Journal de Constantinople :
SEBASTOPOL, OCT. 15.
This day, three divisions of the Sardinian army, under
the immediate command of the General-in-Chief La Mar-
mora, have left for the interior. This expeditionary
corps takes provisions with it for three days ; and I
know, from a good source, that orders have been issued
at head-qnarters to have rations prepared for three days
more.

A few hours later, an English division, under the orders
of Gen. Sir Colin Campbell, accompanied by the High-
land Brigade, commanded by Gen. Cameron, commenced
its march for joining the Sardinian troops. I cannot tell
you exactly where these expeditionary corps have been
sent to, but intelligence has been received that the Ru -
siane were evae iating all the points contiguous to our
own, and destroying all the roads in their rear. This is,
perhaps, what has led to our movement in advance.
This new attitude of the enemy, who appears decidedly
as if he wished to concentrate his forces in the
interior, has likewise caused our generals in chief to
modify their plan with respect to Sebastopol. They have
given up all idea of cannonading the North side, and
our batteries have not even been removed. On their
side, the Russians, no doubt for making their retreat,
fire with redoubled vigour against the south side, but
they do us no harm. The curious and the trad6men
who have permission to walk about the town, are alone
liable to any injury from the enemy's fire. Seven of
the latter, whose shops are at Kamiesb, are are all that
have been hit by the Russian projectiles.
The French army now occupies all the plain and all
the outlets of Baidar, but really it is no very agreeable
place. Only conceive that directly you cross the Tcher-
naya it is impossible to find a drop of water, notwith-
standing the heavy rains that have fallen lately, so that
the expeditionary corps are compelled to carry even
water with them. True, and by way of compensation,
the Russians suffer from the same inconvenience ; but
then, although we can take with us provisions in abun-
dance, I do not think the enemy has the same facilities.
At this moment the most profound quiet pervades the
camp. Every day, as usual, each regiment supplies
.its
contingent of the fatigue party for making roads. With
the exception of this occupation, less laborious than being
in the trenches, nothing turns up to vary the monotony
for our brave soldiers, who impatiently expect the signal
for marching to the front. It is very possible that we
shall not have to wait long for this signal, and I may
soon have some great news to send you, for we are be-
ginning to draft off the patients on a great scale from the
French and English ambulances, and these drafts have
hitherto been invariably the short prelude of affairs.
Twelve hundred Sardinians return to their country—
they are all wounded men or convalescents no longer fit
for duty. They are to be immediately replaced by fresh
troops expected from Genoa.
The Sardinian army has just experienced a very griev-
ous loss. The brave general, Montevocchio, who so won-
derfully survived a frightful wound, died on the 12th
from the effects of a slow consumption, attributed to
this very wound, which, though healed to all appearance,
had deeply lacerated the inside. His obsequies took
place on the 13th, in the midst of an entire Sardinian
army. The allied armies were also represented there
in the funeral procession of this valiant soldier, whose
rare merit they had been enabled worthily to appreciate.
The body of General Montevecchio was buried in the
old cemetery near Kamera.
It is decided that General Simpson is to invest Mar-
shal Pelissier with the Grand Cordon of the Bath, con-
ferred on him by the Queen.
There is a strong rumour that the Anglo-Turkish
Contingent is to be sent to Kaffa.
The liberated soldiers of the class of 1847 are begin-
ning to embark on their return to France ; but I ought
to say, in praise of these brave fellows, who have served
throughout this trying campaign, that a goed third of
them wished to remain under their colours.
