THE NEWS OF THE VICTORY IN
BUCHAREST.

We have received from Bucharest a copy of the
bulletins issued there by Count Coronini upon re-
ceipt of intelligence of the battle of Inkerman.
The form and aspect under which the Austrian
General chose to present the news to the Walla-
chia!' nation are worthy of notice.

SEWS FROM SEBASTOPOL, UNDEIL DATE OP NOV. 6, 1554,

A great battle was fought yesterday ; the Russian
army, which had received considerable reinforcements
from the so-called army of the Danubian Principalities,
and was moreover encouraged by the presence of the
Grand Dukes Michael and Nicholas, attacked the right
wing of the English army. After an obstinate struggle,
lasting from the morning to the afternoon, the English
army, joined by the division of General Bosquet, suc-
ceeded in repulsing the enemy with enormous loss, sup-
posed to be from eight to ten thousand men left dead on
the field of battle, and a very large number of prisoners
in their hands. During the battle General Forey had
to repel a violent sortie of the garrison from Sebastopol.
The French troops, energetically led on by their general,
drove the enemy back into the place inflicting on him a
Ines of more than a thousand men. The conduct of the
allied troops in the presence of an enemy four times at
least superior to them in numbers has been admirable.
The victory was hard won, but brilliant. We have to
regret serious losses, the details of which have not
arrived. The siege contiaues with a ♦igour that has
not flagged for an instant.

GLAND REVIEW OF THE NEW
IMPERIAL GUARD.
___

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING--The first review of the
new Imperial Guard by the Emperor took place this day
in the garden of the Tuileries, in the Plaoe de la
Ooncorde, and up the grand avenue of the Champs
Elys6es. The enthusiasm displayed both by the troops
and the spectators was immense, and never, per-
haps, were the cheers given to the Emperor more
sincere. This magnificent body! of men, alike re-
markable for their personal appearance and for she
beauty and richness of their military equipments, as.
sembled on this occasion for the first time in public. The
weather being uncommonly fine, the crowd of persons
present was immense. The infantry occupied the gar-
den of the Tuileries, and part of the Place beyond it,
whilst the artillery and cavalry occupied the Champs
Elysees. About one o'clock his Majesty mounted his
horse in the court of the Carrousel, accompanied by
Marshals Magnan and Valliant, and a great number of
general officers. The escort of the Emperor was formed
by the Cent Gardes in full uniform, which in richness is no
way inferior to the body guards of the Sovereigns of
France in the time of the Monarchy. The Empe-
ror rode one of his favourite chargers, which was richly
caparisoned with the housings presented to his Majesty
by the Sultan. After passing along the lines of troops,
the Emperor returned, and placed himself in front of the
Pavillon d'Horloge, on the balcony of which were the
Empress, attended by the ladies of the household, and
accompanied by several illustrious personages, among
whom was Lord Palmerston. The troops then filed off
before the Emperor, who was hailed with load cries of
" Vive l'Empereur 1" by the men, which were loudly
taken up and repeated by the immense crowd of persons
assembled.

It
.was an imposing sight so see these fins troops
move past in close column as if they were but a single
man, and it is certain that this military display at a mo-
ment when the pubiio mind is turned to the theatre of
real war, and full of the heroic deeds of the Allied
armies, producep considerable excitement among mili-
tary and civilians, which was given expression in loud
and frespient acclamations. The defiling began at half-
past 1, and closed at half-past 2, when the troops quitted
the ground for their respective quarters. But at four
o'clock crowds still filled the passages leading to the
Tuilieries, and the topic of conversation among them
was the splendid appearance of the new Imperial
Guard.

I must not omit mentioning that many of the specta-
tors appeared to take the dashing young guardsman, who
accompanied the cortege, for no less a personage than
Lord Palmerston, who is said to have figured in a
militia or lord lieutenant's uniform among the
Generals close to the Emperor. The mistake about
the young guardsman however was general, and the
people would have it that it was his lordship. They have
a tradition that Lord Palmerston was once Secretary-
at-War, and now holds a military command somewhere,
and, out of compliment to his lordship, they selected
the most dashing, best-looking, and. most brilliantly
equipped foreign officer for him, The mistake is not a
serious one, and I suppose Lord Palmerston will not
break up the alliance on that account.

THE GRAND DUKE UON.sTANTINES ORDER

OF THE DAY.

The Invalide Russe of St. Petersburg of the 18th
publishes the following order of the day from the
Grand Duke Constantine, the head of the Ministry
of the Marine, and bearing the date of " Gatshina,
Nov. 15" :

" Admiral Prince Menschikoff, in informing the Em-
peror of the conduct of the men belonging to the fleet
of the Black Sea, in defence of Sebastopol, says,
amongst other things : It is a sacred duty for me
to make your Majesty acquainted with the exemplary
self-denial and the invincible valour of the crews of the
fleet. Neither their daily losses, nor the fatiguing ser-
vice of the bastions, nor the batteries raised by the
enemy just before them, nor the incessant roar of artil-
lery, which night and day shakes the earth—nothing
has been able to induce them to abandon their service
for a single instant. On the contrary, it would seem
that everything contributes to increase their zeal, and
they rivalise with each other in their courage in defend-
ing Sebastopol, so dear to their hearts.' The 'Emperor
has deigned to reply to Prince Menschikoff in the
following words :—I am happy to learn the heroic
intrepidity of our incomparable sailors, those uncon-
querable defenders of Sebastopol. God will rep
compense their acts of courage, unexampled up to
the present time. Knowing my sailors of the Black
Sea since 1828, having been then ocular witness of
their high feats, and seeing that nothing was impos-
sible for them, I was fully convinced that these
intrepid warriors would always shew themselves the
same, both by land and sea. Tell them that their
old acquaintance, who has always esteemed them, is
proud of their conduct, and thanks them all as a
loving father would his darling children. Transmit
to them these words in your order of the day. I
have directed my aide-de-camp, Prince Galitzin, to pass
in review all the crews, and to transmit to each my salu-
tation and my thanks.' In transmitting with the utmost
joy to the Baltic fleet the paternal language of the Em-
peror to our comrades of the Black Sea,l am convinced
that all the nen of the Baltic fleet will hail them with
gratitude, and that when the hour shall arrive far then
to fight against the enemies of our orthodox country, its
crews will provethattlaeyofwoeruerwborortthhyeros of
