RECAPTURE OF EUPATORIA.

We have received advice; via Marseilles, from
our correspondent at Constantinople, dated the
Istb, from which it appears that Eupatoria had
been retaken by the Russian; Captain Brock
and his small garrison haring 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 howital 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 Alajesty, 4ppropTia.ted, 60,000 fr. 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 Goiernment. 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 o 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 divirion. 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."

THE ♦PPARENT DELAY.
The Constitationnel says :—" 'We believe that it
was only on the 18th that the fire was to have been
opened against Sebastopol ; but for the moment
the siege operations were to be carried on vigorously.
It has been superabundantly proved that there are
in a siege preliminary works, which it is in the
power of no one to abridge. Let the siege of
Rome be remembered, and it will be seen that no
time has been lost ; but the rapidity of disem.•
barkation, and that of the march from the Alma to
Balaklava, have created amongst the public an im-
patience which must, however, cede before possible
facts."

THE LAST SUMMONS.
We read in a Constantinople letter of the 10th,
in a Vienna newspaper :—" General Canrobert acts
in perfect accord in all things with Lord Raglan.
The two commanders have made the last sum-
mons to Sebastopol to yield, so as to prevent the
effusion of blood. A messenger has besides been
sent, with a flag of truce, to the commander of the
fortress, with the proposition to send away the
women, children, old men, and sick, and to hoist
a flag on the hospital, in order that it may be
spared. We are assured that the Allied com-
manders have resolved to respect the town itself,
but to bombard the forts and batteries, the public
establishments, and those of the Crown. The last
lines of circumvallation approach so near the town
of Sebastopol that the Allies, who occupy the
heights, can see the inhabitants walking about."

THE RUSSIAN REINFORCEMENTS.
A letter from Constantinople, dated the 12th, in
this evening's Lloyd, has intelligence from the
Crimea that General Canrobert bad formed an ob-
servation corps of 30,000 men, and sent it towards
Perekop, to chock the advance of the Russian re-
serves. This, however, is in no way confirmed by
any of our late advices from the Crimea. On the
30th ult., the Sidon carried off two gun-boats from
the harbour of Odessa, and two steamers are em-
ployed for similar purposes in the vicinity of
Kertsch. The Constantinople writer considers
the report that Russian reinforcements have al-
ready arrived in the Crimea from Bessarabia to
be utterly absurd, on account of the great distance
from the Pruth to Sebastopol, and the nature of the
country to be traversed. From the Pruth to Char-
m ill 45 GerrnanMilers, in go, right line ; from the

latter place to Perekop, 15; and from Perekop to
Sebastopol, 15 miles more.

From Varna we hear that on the 13th inst the
Tunese troops, under Gutim Bey, embarked in six
Turkish and eight Tunese ships from Batomn.
4,000 Tuuese went to Balaklava on the 12th.
A great number of troops have recently been
landed at Eupatoria, and the garrison of Constan-
tinople, of 10,000 men, was ready to leave for any
point early in the month. Numbers of the wounded
in the hospitals at Scutari and Pera have recovered,
and demand to be allowed to return to the army.
According to the Fremden Blatt, there are4ll,ooo
Russian troops now on their way to the Crimea,
viz., 16,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry. The same
journal is informed that the Grand Prince Thron-
folger will shortly arrive at Warsaw, to inspect
the Imperial Guardz. He is their commander.

A Constantinople letter of the 12th says :—" The
chief enemy is one against which no courage or
skill can avail. Sickness still continues its ravages,
and, though the men have now received their
tents, and are no longer exposed to the chill and
damps of an autumnal bivouac, yet the state of the
army is far from satisfact,ify. It is said, on good
authOrity, that the effective British infantry does
not now exceed 16,000 men. The probable loss in
our part of the invading force from cholera, fever,
and the sword of the enemy is about 5,000 men,
since the expedition sailed. Not, indeed, that such
a number, or even a third of it, are dead, but there
are so many disabled by wounds and weakened by
disease that the force of the army is lessened by
nearly a fifth."
