LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1854.

The latest telegraph from Vienna, transmitted
yesterday evening, announces that " the Russian
Embassy had received a despatch of the 22d from
the Crimea, of which all that was known was that
it contained news unfavourable to the Russians !"
Aa we stated yesterday, this intelligence must be
taken quantum valeat. It may be true that more
recent accounts had been received by the Russian
party than could be obtained by either the French
or English, or even Austrian authorities ; but
we cannot conceive that it should be flee days
later from the same point. The Allied Powers
would certainly seem to have greater facilities for
the transmission of authentic messages. They
have rapid steamers, and au organised system of
posts, so far as the " Tatars" or " couriers," who
ride for a continuance at the rate of some nine
miles an hour, can be considered as such ;
and yet it has invariably taken eight or
nine days before we halie received the
official accounts sent with all these advan-
tages. Indeed, the latest from the French or
English generals to the Ambassadors of their re-
spective countries is tweire days old, being only to
the 16th instant ; that to the 17th being a de-
spatch to OMER PA.CII.I, which went directly to
Bucharest. Now, considering that communica-
tion by sea is totally suspended for the Russians,
and that any despatch from the Crimea should be
transmitted round by Perekop and Odessa, we
scarcely think it probable that authentic news
could be received within such a time. It is, how-
ever, possible ; and, therefore, although we may
not yield implicit confidence, we should not alto-
gether despise the intimations thus received.

But even supposing that for argument sake we
admitted the receipt of such intelligence, we know
nothing of the purport thereof. It is said to be
unfavourable to the Russians ; and that may easily
be guessed at, for were it otherwise there would
be no concealment, no holding back of the glad
tidings. They would instantly be circulated with
emendations and additions, so as to influence
to the greatest degree practicable the German
waverers and time servers. The "silence," then,
augurs well for the good cause ; that is to say,
unless the reason for it be something analogous
to that put forward by the needy knife-grinder,
when asked to relate his melancholy tale—
" Story—God bless you, I have none to tell."

This, we fancy, will be something like the true
state of the case.

But we may fairly look forward to very inte-
resting accounts speedily arriving. Another de-
spatch from the Crimea, up to the 19th or 26th,
may be expected every hour, while we may rea-
sonably anticipate the full details of the landing,
and all that had occurred up to the 16th, coming
per the Thabor steamer, which left Constantinople
on the 20th instant, and was expected to arrivo at
Marseilles ere this. The full particulars of this
arduous and important operation—one perfectly
unparalleled in ancient or modern times—will
be anxiously looked for. Never before was
so numero U 74 an any, „o completely pro-
vided with all the miteriel of war, landed
on a hostile coast without loss or damage,
brought
under notice. Never did nearly 60,000 men,
amply provided with artillery, cliaerabark, in a
country garrisoned by more than 50,000 men,
without some attempt being made to impede
or
embarrass the proceeding. We can easily inla_
gine how perfect must-have been the arrangements
that led to such felicitous results ; but we shall
not ou that account be the less eager for the exact
details of the brilliant exploit.

If it be, indeed, true that INfEltscffixoFF has
concentrated his forces at Benliuk, or any other
point on the Alma, we may receive about the
same time intelligence of the first pitched battle
in which the Allies have been engaged—the
"fleshing of their maiden swords," so far, at least,
as the present war is concerned. We know that
the troops expected to march on the 17th or
18th, and a single day would bring them to
the scene of contest, which is but little more
than thirteen miles from the point of dis-
