THE WOUNDED RUSSIANS.

A letter from Odessa of the 3d, in a Vienna
jamifirag nalO says :—" An English ship of war, bearing
f truce, has this day brought to this place,
and given up to the governor, 340 wounded Rus-
sians, among whom are several officers. Some Rus-
sian vessels laden with oil have been captured off
our port by French cruisers. Several families of
Eupatoria have taken refuge here. They say that
their property had been plundered by the Tartars."

1795, and was present at Nimeguen during the siege,
and at the sortie. In 1801 he accompanied the expe-
dition to Egypt, and was present in the battles of the
13th and 21st of March, also at the battle of Rhamanieb,
and at the surrender of Grand Cairo and of Alexandria.
Sir Gordon saw much service in the American war, and
commanded in the action near the Falls of Niagara,
where he was severely wounded. There are now two
colonelcies vacant—the Bth and 50th Regiments.
The 23d Regiment of Foot (the Royal Welsh Fusi-
liers), composed chiefly of Welshmen, distinguished itself
in the prrincipal engagements in the last great war,
ample testimony being borne to their bravery by the
names inscribed upon their colours :—The Prince of
Wales's Plume ; leti Dien ; The Rising Sun ; The Red
Dragon ; The White Horse ; Nec aspera terrent ; Min-
den ; The Sphinx ; Egypt ; Corunna ; Martinique ;
Albuera ' • Badsjez • Salamanca ; Vittoria ; Pyrenees ;
Nivelle ; Orthes ; ioulouse ; Peninsula ; Waterloo. To
this list will be added the now famous name of "Alma,"
and, no doubt, " Sebastopol."
HIGH PRICE OF Cor.x.—The continued high price of
corn has tempted many agriculturists in Lancashire to
thrash most of their produce, and some of the steam
mills in that neighbourhood have been kept at work in-
cessantly, Sundays included.

MUNIFICENCE OF THE EMPEROR
NAPOLEON,

The Lloyd of Vienna says :—" A special steamer
arrived on the 25th ult. at Varna from Marseilles,
with a considerable sum from the privy purse of
the Emperor Napoleon, destined to be employed
in the alleviation of the situation of the wounded."

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

shore arrived. The instructions to Otner Pabha
:o commence operations ou the Sereth followed,
and were received by the generalis-iino on the 21
of October. An Egyptian garrison, it is said, will
saipply the place of the Turks at Giurgevo. 'lt
toes not appear probable that Omer Paoha will
begin serious operations at once, but wig content
with threatening the Russians from the
sou' hof Moldavia, and in -the Dobrudscha. 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 Priith, 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 ilatschia. Lately the
Danube has fallen so much that the steamers have
been unable to enter the harbour at Giurgevo.
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 concen-
trating on the Pruth ; and there is some talk of the
Russians themselves taking the initiative, instead
of waiting to be attacked by the Tunis ; but this
is at best but very improbable. The garrisons of
Reni, Isaki, Kagul, Leona, Leuscheni, and Souli-
ani, have been doubled ; and at Bender there is
a strong reserve forming. Large bodies of troops
were making their way at the end of last month
from Pondolia and Bessarabia to the Crimea ; but
to 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 Perekop, 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 Mehmed Sadik
Pacha of equipments for his Cossack regiment, ac-
companied by an address expressive of their b("Tali

He was received by the Imperial Austrian Coin
inissioner and the civil and military authorities of
Bucharest, and a guard of honour, composed of
Austrians and Turks, was placed at the gates of his
palace.
