LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1854.

Official intelligence has been received of the
unopposed landing of 58,000 of the Allied Forces,
consisting of 25,000 English, 25,000 French,
and 8,000 Turks, at Eupatoria, the modern
Khoslov, or Karsloff, in the Crimea. The dis-
embarkation was safely effected on the 14th instant
without any serious casualty ; and it is said that
the troops had forthwith commenced marching on
Sebastopol. As this account comes from the
war department, and is completely corroborated
by other independent communications from
Vienna, and as an official despatch to the like
effect was last evening posted up on the Bourse
at Paris, founded on a communication from -a e
Austrian Internuncio at Constantinople to General
CORONINI at Bucharest, we may implicitly rely on
its accuracy. The first great step has thus been
taken, and, according to the old proverb, " half
the undertaking may be regarded as accomp-
lished." The chief difficulty has been successfully
encountered without any serious impediment
or loss. These felicitous results may, under PRO-
VIDENCE, be attributed to the very judicious ar-
rangements entered into by the Commanders, and
also in no ordinary degree to the profound silence
as to the point of destination. It was almost
universally supposed that a place much nearer to
Sebastopol would have been selected, and Balak-
lava, a short distance to the east of the Great
Arsenal, was generally hinted at. It would ap-
pear that the Russian Generals were completely
deceived, so that all the preparations made for
giving a warm reception to the Expedition were,
in a great degree, thrown away. The Russians,
who entertain a profound contempt for human
life, could scarcely conceive that parties would
prefer a march of some thirty or forty miles addi-
tional rather than consent to the sacrifice of a
few hundred men. But the best and most gal-
lant Generals are invariably the most chary of
any needless destruction of their troops, and we
may regard the safe landing of so large
a body of men as a most auspicious commence-
ment of the Autumnal
Campaign in the Crimea--
one no less creditable to the generalship than to
o
the humanity of Marshal Sr,
A_RNIUD and Lord
EA.GLA.N.

It was, indeed, no ordinary achievement. To
nearly sixty thousand bringtroops a distance of
some three hundred miles, and land them without
casualty of any kind, on a hostile coast, well
garrisoned by disciplined forces, was
an exploit
that might have astonished our forefathers.
But,
the almost miraculous development of steam_powc,r
enables us to overcome many impediments tl-,at
in the olden time would have been regarded as
perfectly insuperable. Before the era of Steam
Navigation the best-devised plan might be de-
feated by contrary winds or calms. Numerous
elements had to be taken into the calculation,
which may now be dispensed with. At 13:11tchik
the steam vessels took the various sailing tran-
sports in tow, each steam-ship having two othrirs
attached, and thus dropped down on the Wes tern
point of the Crimea, Cape Tarkan, from whence
they dropped along • the coast, availing
themselves of the breeze which prevails in
the Euxine &trine, the summer, with almost
the regularity of a trade wind.

The point selected for the disembarkation, al-
illou:;it about 40 miles distant, on the N.N.W.,
from Sebastopol, was in all other respects pecu-
liarly' suitable. An extensive salt marsh, only
separated from the oa by a narrow strip of laud,
