AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Oct. 2G.—The Evening Presse has the
following despatch :—" Constantinople, Oct. 19.
The Russians have occupied Eupatoria. A steamer
which left the Black Sea (?) in the night from the
15th to the 16th has arrived here with the intelli-
gence that the bombardment of Sebastopol had
begun. The report that the Dragoman Flamm
had been shot as a spy has not been confirmed."
If the, above despatch be worth anything
at all, we must read " Crimea" for "Black
Sea." Independent of the above, we are with-
out further intelligence from the seat of war
iu the East, except, indeed, that authentic ad-
vices have reached this place from Omer Pacha,
in which it is announced that the Ottoman general-
issimo has now finally abandoned the intention of
forthwith commencing hostilities on the Bessarabian
frontier, which, owing to the advanced season,
must be postponed till next year ; that he will
now take up his winter quarters at Schumla ; and
that all that he can do at present is to send another
brigade to Varna to serve as a further reinforce-
ment to the allied armies in the Crimea.
The Wanderer of Vienna, of the 24th, says :
"It is quite untrue that au ultimatum has been
sent to St. Petersburg, to invite Russia to accept
unconditionally the four points of guarantee, and
there is no idea at Viena of making new proposi-
tions to the Cabinet of St Petersburg."

FRANCE.
(FROM OIIR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, SUNDLY EVENING.
We remain without any further intelligence from
;he East.

General Thomas has arrived in Paris.
A letter from Varna, of the 21st, in the Moniteur,
says :

"The fire of the land batteries opened against Sebas-
topol at half-past one on the 17th. At the same time
the allied fleets attacked the forts at the entrance of the
port—the English those on the left, the French those on
the right. The English blew up the external fortifica-
tions on the left, and the French silenced the fire of the
Quarantine Fort."
A letter from Tunis, of th© 17th, in the Mow:.
tear, says
"The Envoy of the Sultan, Moustapha Pacha, La

had a public audience of the Buy, at the Palace of Mo-
hainedie. His Il!gliness, surrounded by his Ministers
and the principal functionaries of the Regency, gave him
a very friendly reception. Monstapha Pacha was charged
to present to the 1317 the insignia of the order of Medji-
d4e, of the first class. lie also brought with him for the
Bey a splendid snuffbox, enriched with diamonds of the
value of about 40,000 E, which was accompanied by an
autograph letter of the Sultan. Mehemet Ali Paella,
ex-Minister of War, had also availed himself of the op-
portunity to address a complimentary letter to the
Bey."
The Constitutionnel says :

" We have before us letters from the Crimea to the
13th October, which confirm what the English journals
relate on the dearness of every kind of provisions, or
other objects which contribute t 9 the comfort of the sol-
dier. Sugar sold at 2f. 50c. the lb., the most ordinary
wine 3f. a bottle ; tobacco, 10f, the lb. Thus, the sol-
dier is obliged to content himself almost exclusively with
his rations."
