THE TARTARS AND THE AUTOCRAT.

The Siecle says :—" From a letter communicated
to us, it appears that the confidence of the army in
the success of the expedition is very great, and that
a superior officer of engineers who had made a re-
connaissance was of opinion that it was even un-
necessary to disembark the siege artillery. A
Prince, descended from the Khans of Tartary, is
attempting to raise all the Crimea against the Rus-
sians. It is said that he has been consecrated Pa-
dischah of the Crimea by an ulema. He has begun
by forming a numerous guard."

THE WAR ON THE DANUBE.

A correspondent of the Lloyd informs us from
Giurgevo, that the Turks ou the march from Wal-
lachia into Bulgaria have suddenly received orders
to change their course. On the 26th those troops
which had arrived at Rutschuk from Bucharest
began hastily to retrace their steps. Another divi-
siou, which had reached half-way to Kalugerini,
received other marching orders. On the 25th an
express courier from Constantinople arrived tit
Rutschuk with despatches for the administrative
council of war there, and after short sitting
couriers were sent iu various directions. The pro-
bability is that on this day the order to stop the
further march of the Turkish troops to the sea-

shore arrived. The instructions to Outer Pasha
0 ceineleece operations on the S,e-eth follo we 1,
eel were received by the goileralis-iee, on the 2 1
)f October. An Egyptian garrison, it is said, wdl
supply the place of the Turks at Giurgevo. It
does not appear probable that Outer Paella will
begin serious operations at once, but will content
himself with threatening the Russians from the
south of Moldavia, and in the Dubrudscha. The
left wing of the Turks, we are informed, leans on
Galatz ; the right on Isaktscha and Tultscha. The
operations against Bessarabia will thus be com-
menced from three sides, over the Pruth, from the
Dobrudscha, and from the sea. The Cossacks con-
tinue their visits from Reni, and,.it is said, often
wander as far inland as Matschia. Lately the
Danube has fallen so much that the steamer s have
been unable to enter the harbour at Giargevo.
The water in the canal harbour was at the end of
last month only two and a half feet deep, lower than
has been known for ten years. It is reported that
large numbers of troops from Podolia are coni!en-
trating on the Pruth ; and there is some talk of the
kussians themselves taking the initiative, instea.d
of waiting to be attacked by the Turks ; but this
is at best but very improbable. The garrisons of
Reni, Isaki, Kagul, Leowa, Leuscheni, and Seuli-
aui, have been double ; and at Bender there is
a strong reserve forming. Large bodies of troops
were making their way at the end of last month
from Pondolik and Bessarabia to the Crimea ; but
no what end ? For these must, of course, arrive
too late to save Sebastopol.
A correspondent of the Lloyd writes from Ga-
latz :
" The Russians will not continue • the contest
in the Crimea if Sebastopol falls, but, if it be
possible, will withdraw, and take up their posi-
tion at Terekop, in order to prevent the advance
of the allies over this point." But in case of the
success 'of the Allies in the Crimea, which is not
to be doubted, Perekop will be open to attack
both from the front and the right flank, and will
be untenable, so that the Russians will, in all pro-
bability, also be compelled to abandon this import-
ant position."
The Boyards and mercantile community of Bu-
charest have made a present to Maimed Sadik
Paella of equipments for his Cossack regiment, ac-
companied by an address expressive of their grati
tude to him for having so well preserved order in
Bucharest.
Prince Stirbey arrived at Bucharest on the sth.
He was received by the Imperial Austrian Com
inissioner and the civil and military authorities of
Bucharest, and a guard of honour, composed of
Austrians and Turks, was placed at he gates of his
palace.
