THE CRIMEA.

PRINCE PASKIEWITCH IN TROUBLE.

A letter from Vienna this morning says :—" It
is now affirmed that displeasure has been expressed
by the Emperor to Prince Pakiewitch for having
communicated the loss of the 500 on the first day's
bombardment, that part of the communication
being intended as confidential. The result has
been that efforts are being made here to declare
the assertion to be an exaggeration, or at all events
a proof of Russian candour and veracity. It has,
however, had a totally opposite effect on the
public.

The Trieste Observer states from Constantinople
that the Russian war steamer, which some time
ago destroyed some Turkish trading vessels, has
again made her appearance in the Black Sea under
British colours, and burnt, off Kilia, a Turkish ves-
sel laden with coals.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa states that
the British troops at Sebastopol have some heavy
guns of a peculiar contrivance there for trial, in-
vented by Lieut.-Col. Cavalli, one of the Sardinian
army. These guns were tried some months ago at
the camp of San Maurizio, and were ascertained
to have a range of 5,000 yards, with a deviation of
little more than three feet. The projectile is of a
conical form.

ARRIVAL OF THE CZAR'S SONS AT
ODESSA.

ODESSA, Oct. 16.—Yesterday, at midnight, the
Grand Duke Michael and Nicholas (the youngest
sons of the Emperor) arrived here. They were re-
ceived by the Generals Dannenberg, Annenkoff,
Krusenstern, Lanskoi, Meidel, Visclanjeffski, Knor-
ring, &c., who went out to meet them on the
Nikolajeff road. During their stay, which may
last two or three days, they will review Danneu-
berg's corps (the 4th), encamped between Odessa
and Nikolajeff, and they will then proceed to Kish-
en' ff, Prince Gortschakoff's head-quarters, in order
to take active service in the army. They are said
to be the bearers of important instructions to the
Prince concerning the opening of the next cam-
paign. Their presence cannot fail to raise the
drooping spirits of the men, and will no doubt ex-
ercise great influence on their energy in the field.
" Accounts from Odessa," says the Ost Deutsche
Post of Vienna of the 26th, "state that the Rus-
sian corps of infantry assembled at Perekop on the
15th, and immediately after commenced its march
with 60 pieces of artillery for Simpheropol by the
Steppes, and will there join the forces of Prince
Menschikoff. The total force in the Crimea will
be as follows :—Garrison of Sebastopol, including
the crews of the fleet, 34,000 ; corps of Prince
Menschikoff, 26,000 ; corps of General Liprandi,
24,000 ; total, 84,000."

A letter from Odessa says that the Russian engi-
neers who were employed at Silistria are now at
Sebastopol.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.
The Wanderer of Vienna states that upon the
invitation of Omer Pk.eha a body of 3,000 Albanian
Christians of Turkish Albania has left Privesend
for Schumla to take part in one of the expeditious
against the Russians.

Letters from Jassy state that the Hospodar of
Moldavia, Prince Ghika, will make his solemn
entry into that capital on the 3d November, which
will be the anniversary of the day on which he
quit'ed it last year.
Sadyk Pacha, on occupying Braila, issued a pro-
clamation to the inhabitants, which has been pub-
lished in the Fremden, Blatt, together with Massar
Pacha's address to the citizens of Bucharest :
Mehmed Sadyk says :

" If I find that you correspond or have an under-
standing with the enemy, or that you seduce the Turkish
soldiers from their duty, that you conspire against
order and public tranquillity, you shall be immediately
arrested, tried, and punished by the laws of war, with-
out any consideration for the rank of the guilty Party.,
" I desire at the same time to be informed where the
wounded Russians may be lying concealed, in order that
they may receive help and succour ; for our august
Emperor, when taking up arms to defend rights and
repel attacks, wishes his soldiers to succour those that
suffer, not only amongst his own troops, but also those
of the enemy."
Massar Pacha has issued the following manifesto:

Inhabitants of Bucharest !—By command of his
Highness the Generalissimo Omer Pacha, I thank you
for the generous offer you made of delivering wood and
candles gratuitously to the Ottoman troops quartered
upon you.
"This generosity on the part of a population, already
so cruelly tried, has deeply affected his Highness ; but
in his care for your welfare he has deemed it right to
decline this new proof of your attachment.
" I therefore invite you merely to give victuals to the
troops ; whatever else they require will be abundantly
supplied by the Governtneut of his Imperial Majesty.
"The City Commandant,
" MAMIE PACIIA."
