6, states that on the evening of that day an ex-
pedition, consisting of 3,500 English troops and
2,000 seamen, sailed for the mouth of the river
Bug.

It was believed that the light cavalry, u2der

General Lord George Paget, would embark for

Eupatoria.

MARSEILLES, OCT. 16.

The letters brought by the Cheliff from the
Crimea are dated the 6th. By these we learn
that Marshal Pelissier was in the Valley of
Baidar with 36,000 of the Allied troops. Also
that 4,000 workmen were employed in making
roads around Sebastopol.

ST. PETERSBURG, TUESDAY.

An imperial ukase orders the embodiment of
the militia in the provinces of Ovenburg and
Samare. The organisation is to commence on the
15th of next month, and terminate on the 15th
December. The proportion is to be 23 men in
every 1,000 souls.

BERLIN, TUESDAY.

The Prussian Correspondence contradicts the
report that Prussia is attempting to mediate be-
tween Russia and the Allied Powers ; and adds
that, on sounding the Allies, Russia found them
so disinclined to negotiate, at this moment that
she made no proposals.

TURIN, OCT. 16.

The Chambers will assemble on the 12th of
November. After that date the King intends to

ments for the Crimea.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

The Emperor and the Duke and Duchess de
Brabant yesterday visited the Hotel du Louvre,
where they were received by M. E. Pereira and M.
Ad. d'Eichthal.
The Emperor yesterday gave an audience to M.
Jean-Baptiste Alberdi, who presented his letters of
credence as Charge d'Affaires of the Argentine
Confederation.

The question of the recall of M. de Persigny,
Ambassador at London, is said to be under serious
consideration. The French Government is reported
not to approve of the political line which he has
followed at the English Court. It is added that
Count Walewski will return to London, and that
M. Drouyn de l'Huys will resume the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
The decree relative :to the suppression of the
Cents Gardes has been signed by the Emperor.
The fete offered to Prince Napoleon and the
members of the Imperial Commission by the exhi-
bitors at the Exposition Universelle took place
last night in the new Hotel du Louvre, and was,
without any exception, one of the most unsucces-
ful entertainments that we ever witnessed in Paris.
The whole entertainment was dreadfully mis-
managed, the great mistake being the absence of
ladies, whose presence would have tended to keep
the grosser portion of the company within the
bounds of something like good behaviour. The
fete was certainly not such as the exhibitors of the
Great Paris Exhibition ought to have offered to
the Prince who presides over the Imperial Com-
mission.

The Constitutionnel having published some re-
marks relative to the mission of M. de Prokesch-
Osten to Paris, which were contradicted by the
Patric, but afterwards persisted iu by the Consti-
tutionnel, the latter has received the following
letter from M. Collet Meygret, part of whose duty
it is to watch over the proceedings of the public
press :
- -

" Monsieur—Conformably to Art. 19 of the organic
decree on the prese, I call on you to insert at the head
of your journal the following as a communicated article:
The Constitutionnel, replying to an evening; journal,
thought proper to maintain the correctness of its infor-
mation, relative to the diplomatic mission which is said
to have been confided to M. de Prokeech-Osten. The

pondent. M. de Prokesch was tot charged with any
mission to the Court of the Tuileries.'—Accept, &c."

The Constitutionne/, in obedience to the demand,
heads its number of to-day with the above com-
munication.
