BOMBARDMENT
OF SEBASTOPOL.

PARIS, MONDAY MORNING.

The Moniteur says :

We learn from Varna that the French steamer
which left the Crimea on the 21st confirms the

news of the destruction of two of the outer forts

of Sebastopol:

Moreover, the batteries had made a breach.
The Allied Armies were only waiting for a

second breach to be made to give the assault.

We have received telegraphic despatches from
Bucharest, dated October 24, which confirm the
intelligence that the bombardment of Sebastopol

commenced on the 17th inst.
On the afternoon of the 17th October, at half-
past one, the land batteries opened fire upon Se-
bastopol. The Allied Fleets at the same time

attacked the forts at the entrance of the harbour.
The English fleet attacked the forts on the left
side of the entrance to the haib our, and the

French those •n the right.

The English fire blew up the left outer fortifi-
cation ; the French silenced the Quarantine Fort.
The Retribution had a mast carried away by a

shot.

A shell burst on board the French Admiral's
ship, La Ville de Paris, killing one aide-de-camp

and wounding another.

It was expected that Sebastopol would fall

about the 25th October.

The Russian mission here is said to have re-

ceived intelligence from Czernowitz to the 28th

Lord Westmoreland received a despatch ye3ter•

day, according to which the guns of the two forts
at the entrance to the harbour of Sebastopol were
dismounted by the artillery of the fleets.
Reliable non-Russian iuformation has just been
given that this is not exactly correct.

ODESSA, OCT. 25.

The bombardment of Sebastopol was continued
up to the 23d, but nothing decisive had occurred.

VIENNA, SUNDAY.

not having been able to effect a landing in Sicily,
had returned to Alicant, from which it will visit the

THE WAR ON THE DANUBE.

GALATZ, Oct. 15.—Since the sth instant the
Russian force has increased near Tultsha, and a
portion of it has crossed the Danube on the right
bank on Babadagh. The Turks near Matshin have
crossed the river in considerable force, and entered
the Dobrudseha. They say that all the Russians
mean, by this passage of the Danube, is to force
the Turks by this manoeuvre of theirs to leave the
Pruth and the Lower Danube. Omer Paella is re-
doubling his efforts to take away from the Rus-
sians all desire of advancing further into the
Turkish territory, for the Russian troops are by no
means so numerous as they would fain make others
believe. Should they,lrowever, persist in advanc-
ing, the line between Shumla and Varna rises
again into strategical importance, where the
Turkish general must have already assembled large
forces. The Russian reinforcements no longer go
direct from the north to the southern coast, but to
the Danube. On the 10th there arrived at Bender,
from Kishenew, two battalions of rifles, half a
brigade of mounted grenadiers, and two companies
of pioneers. The Austrians are still our garrison
here. The rumour goes that they are, however,
to be relieved by a Turkish garrison.

The Lloyd of Vienna contains a letter from
Schumla of the 15th, which says :
An order arrived here yesterday from Omer Pacha to
have ail the troops in the environs concentrated at
Schumla, which seems to intimate that the Turkish
general is on the point of commencing his expedition.
The greatest part of the troops from this place are to
proceed to Varna. Two regiments of militia and three
squadrons of cavalry of the army, placed immediately
under the command of Omer Pacha, arrived here yes-
terday; they will make a stay of a week here, and are
afterwards to proceed to Varna. Two Russian agents
have been just arrested at Basardjick and taken to Con.
staetinople. They pretend to be commercial travellers
for a house at Salonica. Papers were found on them
showing that they had relations with all the principal
towns of the Turkish empire.

THE CZAR SELLING 00f.-A. letter from Vienna, 23d,
in the Hamburg News, says :—" The fact of Russian
bankers having lately made very extensive sales in this
market of Austrian securities has produced considerable
sensation. It is said that within the last few days sales
also took place at Amsterdam to the amount of several
millions, and similar ones were made on our bourse yes-
terday and the day before. There can be no doubt of
this being a political measure, for it is well known that
Austrian public securities are in favour in Russia, and
that the imperial family have invested a great part of
their fortune in the Austrian funds. About a year ago
several millions of Five per Cent. Metallics were pur-
chased for the account of the Grand Dukes Constantine
.and Michael, and for that of a grand duchess of the im-
perial family."

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette
has given the following interesting information re-
lative to the Austrian army :-69,800 men, with 144
guns, are posted in the German provinces (in Aus-
tria), under the command of Gen. Count Wimpffen.
The army, under Marshal Radetzky, in the Lom-
bardo-Venetian provinces, and on the right bank
of the Po, consists of 117,000 men, with 160 guns.
The " mobile" army in Galicia, the Bukovina,
and the Danubian Principalities, with the re-
serves in Hungary and Transylvania, is composed of
30 infantry regiments, 10 battalions of Chasseurs,
16 regiments of heavy and 18 of light cavalry, 12
battalions of Border troops, 24 depot battalions,
and 25 field and 18 reserve batteries. The total is
225,800 men, with 200 field and 144 reserve guns.
The troops are thus distributed. In the Danubian
Principalities 24,000 men (this is much below the
mark), in Hungary and Transylvania 58,000 men,
in Gallicia and the Bukovina 80,000, and in the
district of Cracow 63,000 men. The forces under
Ban Jellachich and General Mamula consist of
25,400 troops of the line and 70,000 Borderers,
with 72 guns. In the Federal fortresses in Ger-
many are 12,000 men, with 24 guns. According
to this calculation, the military force of Austria is
oomposed of 522,200 men, with 664 guns, and this
is probably below rather than above the mark.

sneer at, or pity an enthusiasm which to them seems
eccentric or at best misplaced ; but to the true heart of
the country it will speak home, and be there felt, that
there is not one of England's proudest and purest daugh-
ters who at. this moment stands on se high a pinnacle as

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

PLYMOUTH, Sum-lay.—By the arrival of her
Majesty's ship Dee, Captain Smith, we have advices
from the Cape to the 30th of August.
Her Majesty's ships Hydra, Frolic, and Penguin
were at Simon's Bay.
The c'pper mines recently discovered in the
Amagualand have exceeded all expectations, and
shares have risen from a few shillings per share to
many pounds.

Kafirs are again uneasy. Since they have
gathered in their crops several robberies have been
committed. The inhabitants, since they were
granted the constitution, seem indifferent to pro-
tect themselves, and if another Kafir war'should
break out the consequences might be serious.
The clipper-ship Flying Dragon, Carter master,
from Ceylon, bound to London, with a valuable
cargo, has been totally consumed by fire. Fire was
first discovered on board her at midnight on the
31st July, about 200 miles from Simon's Bay.
Every exertion was made to put the fire out, but
without avail; the fire, however, was so kept under
that the ship was brought into Simon's Bay, where
she arrived on the 3d August, burnt almost to the
water's edge. The Urial, of Boston, engaged to
convey her to the nearest port, but after proceeding
a short distance she turned and proceeded on her
voyage.
_ _

The Dee left Ascension on the 20th Sept. ; St.
Vincent, 6th of October ; and Madeira the 19th.
The steamers Telegraph and Wonga were at St.
Vincent, bound to Australia. The American cor-
vette Dale was at the latter place. The Dee brings
home a few invalids, and Commodore Talbot, lady,
and family.

THE CZAR SELLING OUT.—A. letter from Vienna, 23d,
in the Hamburg News, says :—" The fact of Russian
bankers having lately made very extensive sales in this
market of Au,trian securities has produced considerable
sensation. It is said that within the last few days sales
also took place at Amsterdam to the amount of several
millions, and similar ones were made on our bourse yes-
terday and the day before. There can be no doubt of
this being a political measure, for it is well known that
Austrian public securities are in favour in Russia, and
that the imperial family have invested a great part of
their fortune in the Austrian funds. About a year ago
several millions of Five per Cent. Metallics were pur-
chased fur the account of the Grand Dukes Constantine
and Michael, and for that of a grand duchess of the itu-
, perial fekraily.",

VIENNA, Oar. 28, EVENING.

The Russian mission here is said to have re-

October, to the effect that the bombardment of
Sebastopol had been vigorously proceeded with
up to the 20th inst.

Lord Westmoreland received a despatch yester-
day, according to which the guns of the two forts

at the entrance to the harbour of Sebastopol were
dismounted by the artillery of the fleets.
Reliable non-Russian information has just been

given that this is not exactly correct.

ODESSA, OCT. 25.

The bombardment of Sebastopol was continued
up to the 23d, but nothing, decisive had occurred.

to present to the Bey the insignia of the order of Medji-
d6e, of the first class. He also brought with him for the
Bey a splendid snuffbox, enriched with diamonds of the
value of about 40,000 f., which was accompanied by an
autograph letter of the Sultan. Mehemet Ali Pacha,
ex-Minister of War, bad also availed himself of the op-

STOPPING THE BRITISH SUPPLIES TO

THE ENEMY.

Our prominent notice of the exportation of lead seams
to have at length brought the Government to a sense of
their neglect to take proper precautions against supply-
ing the enemy with the means of killing our troops. It
will be seen by a proclamation in the ()mete of last night
that the Lords of the Council have stopped the exporta-
tion of lead to any place in Europe north of Dunkirk,
unless their previous sanction is obtained. No less than
90 tons of pig lead, it is said, were about to be shipped
for Prussia, intended, without doubt, for the brother-in•
law of the King and his most worthy ally the Emperor
of Russia.

THE WOOLEN HUTS RENDERED
FIRE-PROOF.

A proposition was yesterday submitted to the Foreign-
office to render fire-proof the wooden houses to be sent
to the Crimea. The suggestion has been made by an
ironfounder of many years' experience. This gentleman
having seen that the beams and rafters of his workshops
sometimes ignited when large castings were in progress,
turned his knowledge in chemistry to account, and made
a composition, which he washed over the wood-work
that was most exposed to the effects of heat. The re-
sult was satisfactory. Pieces of wood, when washed
over with this composition, may be placed in the fire,
and although under great heat they will become black
and waste away, yet they will not ignite with a flame.
The method and ingredients of the composition are to
be kept secret.
It is scarcely possible to overrate the importance of
this discovery, which, if it stand the test of the experi-
ments to which it is about to be subjected, will prove
an epoch in the art of maritime warfare.
