FIVE HUNDRED RUSSIANS

KILLED.

(From the Second Edition of the Morning Post.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
The last telegraph from St. Petersburg that
has been received, communicates a despatch of
Prince Mensehikoff's, from Sebastopol, stating
that on the 17th the Allies opened their fire.
The bombardment lasted till night.
The Russians bad 500 killed and wounded.
Admiral Korniloff was killed ou the 18th.
The firing was feebly continued on the land
side, and towards the sea the fortifications had
suffered very little.

It is hardly necessary to remark 'that the above
being from a Russian source, is doubtless as
favourable to the Russians as possible. The
Russians must have suffered severely indeed, to
confess on the very first day to so many killed
and wounded. We gather from the Prince's
despatch that the bombardment has begun vigor-
ously, and we are too well acquainted with the
mettle of the Allied Army and its commanders to
doubt its being well kept up, and its speedy and
glorious result.—En. M. P.

VIENNA, TUESDAY MORNING.

Large bands of Tartars have been formed in
the Crimea ; they sack and destroy the country-
houses of the Russians.

The Russians confess that the Tartar population
is so hostile that they have been obliged to arrest

2,000 persons.

_
BERLIN, TUESDAY.
The Grand Duke Alexander has left St. Peters-

burg to join the Guards on their march to Warsaw.
A Russian official despatch, dated St. Petersburg,
the 23d, states that up to the 16th nothing import-
ant had occurred before Sebastopol. The enemy
(the Allies) seemed to intend a regular siege, and
had begun works, which the garrison bad destroyed
in a sortie by night. Not a single shell had fallen
in the town.

Cholera continued to rage in the enemy's camp.

VIENNA, TUESDAY EVENING.

Russian intelligence from the Crimea of the
16th announces that the Allies had begun to
bombard Sebastopol on that day, but without
having done damage. The Russians returned the
enemies' fire,

The garrison of Vienna has orders to be ready
to march at 48 hours' notice.

The day after to-morrow the remainder of the
Austrian army will be placed on a war footing.
Count Esterhazy returned to Berlin this

morning.
M. von der Pfordten is shortly expected here
from Berlin.

RECAPTURE OF EUPATORIA.

We have received advices, via Marseilles, from
our correspondent at Constantinople, dated the
15th, from which it appears that Eupatoria had
been retaken by the Russians, Captain Brock
and his small garrison having retired on board
ship with the loss of one gun.

The Faith and Gladiator had arrived on the
21st at Malta, with 225 artillerymen and two
officers.

THE CRIMEA.
THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AND HIS
ARMY.

We read in the Pays :
"We are happy in being able to publish some
details which prove the deep solicitude felt by the
Emperor and by the Government for the welfare of
the army. Not only has the Minister of War or-
ganised the intendance and the hospital service in
such a manner as to provide for every want—not
only has he sent large supplies of every kind, but
every man has been provided with a cotton shirt, a
flannel waistbelt, a blanket, and a tente-abri. The
Emperor has also sent to the General-in-Chief of
the army of the East a considerable number of
small bottles, containing a preservative against the
cholera. Hearing also that the officers in the Cri-
mea had great difficulty in procuring wine and
brandy, his Majesty appropriated bo,ooofr. from
his privy purse for despatching a certain quantity
of these articles to the army. The camp of the
north has not been less the object of the particular
attention of the Government. The soldiers who
are to pass the winter in that rigorous climate have
each received from the Minister of War a flannel
belt and two blankets. Each company has a room
constructed in which they can warm themselves,
and which contains t ,vo kitchens. The Emperor
has at his own expense caused iron rooms, 30 yards
long by 10 yards wide, to be constructed, warmed
by stoves, and intended to serve as places for meet-
ing. There will be one for officers and two for sol-
diers in each division. It is stated that these rooms
will cost the Emperor more than 150,000 fr. The
camps being very distant from each other, omni-
buses have, as already stated, been established,
also at the expense of his Majesty. They run four
times a week between the camps and Boulogne.
Each brigade is also to have a library, composed
of 50 volumes."
