from Cape Baba, with news to the 16th. The ope-
rations of the allied troops were continuing. The
garrison of Sebastopol, soldiers and sailors, was
estimated at 25,000 men. The road which goes
from Cape Baba to Sebastopol is perfectly practi-
cable for the conveyance of artillery. Near Cape
Baba the establishment of a place d'armes, pro-
visionally protected by gabions, has been com-
menced ; and hospitals and supplies are to be placed
there. The vessels conveying the siege artillery
arrived on the 16th in view of Buurliuk ; the
troops would probably arrive at that place towards
the 18th, and it was on that point that the siege
artillery was to be embarked. The generals-in-
chief of the allied troops have agreed not to pub-
lish their first bulletin until they shall have arrived
before the walls of Sebastopol. The roadstead in
the neighbourhood of Cape Baba is excellent, and
is sheltered from the north winds. English and
French boats are already on the lake near Eupa-
toria."

A letter from Varna of the 16th, in the Lloyd
of Vienna, says :—" The fleet of transports has
been arriving the whole of yesterday and to-day
from the coast of the Crimea with interesting de-
tails of the promising commencement of the ex-
pedition. When, a portion of the division com-
manded by Prince Napoleon landed near Eupa-
toria, a Russian detachment attempted to prevent
the allied troops from advancing ; but the latter
immediately formed into columns and charged the
enemy ; a part of the English division, under the
command of General Brown, supported this ma-
noeuvre. But the Russians did not wait for their
adversaries, and withdrew withoutaccepting battle.
The troops then began to entrench themselves, and
took up a fortified position on the lake south ofEu-
patoria. It was said that a landing would be effected
at Balaklava and that then a combined attack would
be made on Sebastopol. In orderto cut off all re-
sources from the Russian army in the Crimea, the
allied troops will occupy in force both Kertch and
Perekop. It is said that General Cathcart will be
at the former and General Canrobert at the latter
place. No attack has yet been directed against any
other point of the Crimea and Bessarabia, and the
Marshal confines himself to forcing the Russians to
scatter their forces by causing detachments of the
fleets to appear at the same time on differents points
of the coast. Eight transports arrived here yester-
day to take on board the reserve of the expedition.
Troops are daily arriving here from Bulgaria and
Roumelia, which will form the garrison of this im-
portant place and reinforce the reserves. The re-
inforcements which arrive from France and England
only stop here a few hours and then continue their
route."

TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 20.—The telegraph will
already have apprised you of the successful landing
of the British and French forces at Kalamita, on
the coast of the Crimea. The great expedition has
disembarked, after a most favourable passage.
There is little of interest to report from Constan-
tinople to-day. M. Aristarchi, the logothete and
ex-capou-kebaia of the Prince of Wallachia, arrived
here on Sunday last, without the authorisation of
the Ottoman Government. He presented himself
at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but was refused
admittance, and was ordered out of the country the
following day. It will be remembered that this
gentleman played a distinguished part at Constan-
tinople on the arrival of Prince Menschikoff, but
was obliged to fly the country after much unsuc-
cessful intriguing.
The British post-office at Constantinople is over-
whelmed with business, and there is a decided
want of hands. Mr. Smith, the active postmaster-
general, has been ordered up to the Crimea, where
no doubt both he and his junior official (Mr.
Angell) will find plenty to do. In the meanwhile,
the post-office at Constantinople remains in charge
of one clerk.

• THE PRINCIPALITIES.
" Omer Pacha," says the Constitutionnel, " con-
tinues to reside in the town of Bucharest, round
which he has concentrated from 70,000 to 80,000
men, by ordering there the garrisons of the fortified
towns of the Danube. Another body of 26,000 men is
going up the river, and is near Ibrail. This last town,
as well as Galatz, is strongly occupied by the Rus-
sians, who have stopped their movement of re-
treat, alleging that the Austrians had promised
not to allow the Turkish army to enter the
Principalities ; but as these latter troops were
in force, they could not uncover their strategical
line, and abandon the strong position which they
occupy in Moldavia, in face of an enemy who might
take advantage of it to attack them. On the other
hand, the different divisions of the Austrian army
are also occupying Wallachia, so that there results
for the belligerent parties a singular situation, the
denouement of which is looked for with great
anxiety and curiosity."
We read in a letter from Bucharest of the 20th •
—" The Imperial Commissary, Dervish Pacha,
has been authorised by the Ottoman Porte to de-
mand, for the sake of the principle, the payment
of the tribute due to the Porte, but to consent to
any equitable arrangement. The Prussian Consul,
M. Meroni, who was first of all destined fur Galatz,
but was obliged, in consequence of disputes with
Russian commanders, to go to Belgrade, has ar-
rived at Bucharest. All the priuo pal municipal
officers in Wallachia have received orders to pub-
lish solemnly, and by beat of drum, the proclama-
tion of General Hess. The General arrived in this
city to-day. He is to pass the troops of the
Turkish camp in review."
The Wanderer of Vienna states, from Jassy 15th,
that accounts had just reached that place of two
Austrian regiments of Hussars having
an crossed
the n frontier at Boshaneze d Pol-
titcheni.

RUSSIA.
According to information from St. Petersburg
the intelligence of the allies having landed without
the slightest loss, or even opposition, upon the Cri-
mean coast, first reached that place via Vienna,
but was corroborated immediately after by direct
telegraphic intelligence from Odessa. It is said to
have created a profound sensation, and to have most
painfully affected the Emperor, who was led to
believe that ample means were provided along the
whole coast to resist, or at all events to cause heavy
losses to, the invading forces. His Imperial Ma-
jesty feels, and cannot avoid feeling, iu common
with every other reasonable man, the immense
moral and tactical advantage that accrues to the
Allies by their having succeeded, without the loss
of a man or boat, in this most difficult and hazar-
dous operation, which all Russia, and indeed all
Europe, held to be impossible unless under im-
mense risks and sacrifices. It may be truly said,
indeed, that if the landing at Bomarsund with
"dry feet" (as graphically and tersely described by
Sir Charles Napier) was extraordinary, the disem-
barkation of such an immense force without let or
hindrance upon the supposed inaccessible coast of
the Crimea appears almost fabulous. It stands
alone, at all events, amidst the recorded incidents
of military and naval operations, whether as
regards civilised or barbarous nations. Whether
the honour redounds exclusively to the skilful
commanders—military and naval—who planned
and carried out this really marvellous and im-
portant achievement, or whether a portion is
to be ascribed to the craft and skill for stra-
tagem with which Prince Menschikoff is said to
be gifted, has probably Wen proved ore this. But
if so, it can only be proved by a decisive victory
over, nay, a complete rout of the allied forces, and
by their being either compelled to lay down their
arms or to fly to their ships with the loss of all their
materiel, and their honour to boot.

FRA.NCE.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, FRIDAY, 6 P.M.
Tho following private telegraphic despatch has
been received here : _ _

' BERLIN, 29th—Sr. PETERSBURG, 24th.--
According to a report addressed by Prince Meu-
schikoff to the Emperor, the enemy showed him-
self on the 13th before Eupatoria, and landed
between that town and the village of liaptugai,
under cover of the guns of the fleet, so that Prince
Menschikoff did not think it prudent to attack
them. In consequence Prince Menschikoff has
concentrated his troops, who wait with impatience
for the moment when they meet the enemy, and
he has taken up an advantageous position. The
inhabitants of the place where the allies landed
have quitted tlu it homes.
An ukase orders the emission of 6,009,000 of
silver roubles in bank notes.
The Emperor, accompanied by his aides-de-
camp and other officers of his household, went
on Tuesday evening to witness the representation
of the .Noces de Jeannette and the Barbierlde Seville,
which took place in the large concert-room, which
has been temporarily fitted up as a theatre. The
Empress was not present, as she was to accompany
the Emperor to the grand manoeuvres on the fol-
lowing morning. Yesterday their Majesties took
an excursion on the water.

The Camp of the South is, it is said, to be
broken up on Ist November, but will, it is an-
nounced, be again formed in the spring.
There is a long article in the Droit on the decree
for the organisation of a new police in Paris, in
imitation of that of London. It approves highly
of this measure, but expresses a fear that the great
element of success, respect for the agents of the
law; will be still wanting.
