ODESSA.

OCT. 27.—General Luders has broken up his
head quarters at Aleschki, and marched with a
division of Grenadiers, and four regiments of
cavalry, to defend the line of read between
bourn and Kherson.
The first division of the Guards has at length
arrived at Perekop and joined the corps of Gre-
nadiers quartered there. The presence of these
crack troops has tended to relieve any fears of a
successful attack on the Isthmus of Perekop on
the part of the enemy.
Within the last few days four of the enemy's
steamers have attempted to go up the Boug, but
after proceeding a distance of 20 verets, the fire of
the batteries erected on the banks compelled them to
retreat. The population of Nicolaieff and Kherson
are seized with a panic, anticipating an immediate
attack from the enemy, which might be accompanied
by the most fatal results, as the defences, though
carried on with great energy night and day, are far
from being completed.
Accounts received here from the Caspian Sea
state that great energy was displayed in fitting out a
squadron of war-steamers. Two of teem, each of
160 horse-power, had been named the Astrachan
and the Derbent. They are each armed with ten
guns of heavy calibre. Two smaller steamers, the
Astora, of 60 horse power, and the Buriak of 40-
horse power, were also equipped and armed,
besides which a couple of schooners had been fitted
out, and christened the Cossack and the Turko•
man.
