THE EXPEDITION TO THE CRIINIEA.. t
The Debats, speaking of the expedition again-5
Sebastopol, says
"The debarkation will be effected at a point near th°,
mouth of the river Katcha where there is about 14:i
fathoms water. It is the same pon • t that was obserlthe
by General Canrobert and General
l Brown. As
ships can approach very near the shore, their gil'd
will destroy all the land artillery'
which can be op°!
to the invading force. Once ashore, the troops wilwnll
mediately begin to entrench themselves, and they
repel with the bayonet all the assaults of the Russia©
troops. The landing effected, the Russian army niu.s.l,o
beaten in the field, and possession' taken of the heigti
which command the city. The amount of the Russ%
forces in the Crimea is unknown. It is possible tha
their plan will be to retire, ravaging the country as t_heaYt
pass through it, in order to destroy its resources.

appears that the besieging artillery can enfilade the pot

in a manner that will compel the Russian fleet either
remain to be destroyed, or to go out and fight ; and itiaPb.-
pears also that the capture of fort Constantine, w—htcyr
is not less pregnable than Borearsund, will pr°°P-1,0
terminate the siege. Whether these projects can
ai
more or less rapidly and exactly realised, the ger,rbe,
opinion is that the expedition, once commenced, sr
prosecuted with vigour and with complete success. e
The Wanderer has an anecdote, which, if tru.
is of very great interest, and is given as follow %_
"Marshal St. Arnaud, in the course of a 000,veil:ita
tiou with a French officer of Marines, asked ,I*,*
whether he communicated often with his fainuY
The officer replied that he did so. ' Write, they,o

said the marshal, that on the 2d of Septo:labo
embarked, that we landed on the 6th, took Fohle
Constantine on the 10th, and Sebastopol 00
20th.'

ANOTHER BOMBARDMENT EXPEL
AT ODESSA.
A letter from Odessa of the 30th ult., in a Frani'"
fort journal, announces that the inhabitants 'ere
afraid of a new bombardment, as for two days pre"
viously ships of the line belonging to the ellerOr
were cruising in the vicinity of the port.
The following is the proclamation of the Go-
vernor, an extract of which we have alreaclf,
given :
Inhabitants of Odesza—The enemy has lately slo"
himself again before our town in still greater force then
before. We are armed and well prepared. We will strain
every nerve to defeat any attempt that may be made to
effect a landing. The ships' guns, with which the enemy
would bombard us, are of immense range. But fear not,
even this may be remedied. Keep wet cloths and skins
in readiness, and throw them on the shells which the
enemy may fire into the town. Tubs of water must be
on your roofs, in readiness to extinguish fire. Should
the enemy, however, under the shelter of his cannon,
obstinately continua the combat, we will retreat to Tiro.-
sopol ; but that the enemy may find no protection, we
will first convert tho town into a heap of ruins and:abet
