GENERAL HESS'S PROCLAMATION.

The folioQ; is a—c—opyof the proclamation of
General
" Inhabitants of Wallachia and Moldavia—ln virtue
of a convention concluded between his Majesty the
Emperor, my
august master, and the Sublime Ottoman
Porte, the Austrian troops have entered the principali-
ties. They are called there to turn aside (Ecader) the
flames of war, and to restore among you the blessings
of peace. Receive then with confidence these guarantees
of your future safety and tranquillity ; they will know
how to merit it by their conduct, which will be governed
by the perfect order and discipline which they will ob-
serve.
"The privileges which are assured to you by the Sub-
lime Porte remain in full force. I expect, further, on the
part of the authorities of the country, the necessary
assistance in reference to the quarters and victualling of
the troops, for which they shall be regularly indemnified ;
as well as the strict observation of order and tranquillity
on the part of the population, remembering that, in the
contrary case, we shall proceed with all the severity of
the law against every attempt to disturb or even to
menace public order.
" At the same time all the authorities are invited here-
after to address themselves on all subjects (en toute chose)
to Lieutenant-General Cor,nini, who is appointed by
his Majesty the Emperor commander of all the troops
in the two principalities, or the military organs whom
be has authorised in this regard.

THE ATTACK ON SEBASTOPOL.

The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from
Varna, of the 27th ult., which gives further details
relative to the expedition, which are not without
interest. It runs thus :

"The first convoy of transport vessels will sail on the
2.1 of September, being composed of 30,000 French,
from 20,000 to 25,000 English, and from 8,000 to
10,000 Turks. The three squadrons will be able to
land 15,000 men, s/ that the whole number will be
about 80,000 men. A second convey will afterwards
follow. The coalesced armies are provided with
an immense materiel, and the field artillery it,
particular will have a terrible superiority. The English
embark with all their cavalry. Ours :s too numerous-to
form part of the first convoy. It is to assemble at
Bourgas, and will be conveyed in two trips, Fourteen

ships of the line will form the fighting body of our naval
force, being more than sufficient to beat the fourteen
ships at Sebastopol, should they da,re to meet us. 3,000
pieces of cannon can, in the three boor; required
for disembarking the troops, throw 300,000 balls and
shells on the shore. An immediate battle is looked
for. The dash of the French, the imperturbable
courage of the English, and the emulation of the Turkish
division, insure our success. The siege of Sebastopol
will then be only child's play. As at Toulon, in 1793,
the fate of the Russian fleet will depend on the capture
of a work of no great strength. All the otatiriel for a
siege is on board—fascines, gabions, and earth•bags ;
and never in any war was the body of Engineers and
Sappers and Miners more numerous or better instructed.
How is it possible to doubt of the success of an enter-
prise entered on with such means ? Suppose, next, the
army of Omer Pacha to be at Perecop, and say what
the Crimea becomes '? We are entirely free from cholera.
Not a single case entered the hospital during the night."
