LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1854.

The instructions issued to the troops before
starting on the Expedition against the Crimea
have been duly published, and will be found in
another part of this day's impression. They
appear to have been carefully and judiciously
framed, taking all necessary precautions for the
safe landing of the Allied Forces, and enabling
them to carry out the great object in which they
are engaged—the capture of Sebastopol, and the
destruction or transfer to another flag of the
Russian Fleet, now skulking beneath its batteries.
If any doubt could have been entertained, after
the admirable proclamation of Marshal ST.
ARNAUD, as to the intentions of the 'Naval and
Military Commanders, it would be set at rest by
.the publication of this highly-important and inte-
resting document, the very commencement whereof
states that " the invasion of the Crimea" had been
determined upon: This invasion could have but
one object. Its destination is clearly the Russian
stronghold. Were it otherwise, it would only
lead to a very useless expenditure of human life,
and the total destruction of the characters of those
who had the control and management of the un-
dertaking ; and we may rely on the distinguished
and gallant men engaged, that when once the
sword is fairly drawn, when the French and
English troops are pitted against the adversary,
there will no longer be any listlessness or apathy
perceptible. This is not the moment, then, to
complain of the inactivity that has heretofore pre-
vailed, albeit it depressed the spirits and deci-
mated the ranks of the Allied Armies, and although
- it enabled the CZAR to make the most ener-
getic preparations for giving the assailants
a warm reception, and materially enhancing the
difficulties they would have to encounter and
overcome. The
expedition 'would not, however,
have been undertaken unless it appeared to the
experienced and gallant officers entrusted with the
charge that every impediment could be sur-
mounted, and the Union-Jam and Tricolour sub-
stituted for the Eagle on the captured forts of the
great Russian arsenal.

that two points have been indicated, One of

They
both lie to the northward of Sebastopol-4h,, one!
about seven or eight, the other fifteen, miles from
the town ; and it is understood that the ultimate
choice will depend on the nature of the
opposition that may be offered at either loca-
lity. The time allowed, after the intended
expedition was fully known, would enable the
Russians to throw up entrenchments, in order
to resist the first landing. But if, as we
believe to be the fact, our heavy vessels of war
can get to within a quarter of a mile of the beach,
a speedy account would be rendered of any tem-
porary works that could possibly have been con-
structed during the interval. As the broadsides
will thus command not merely the poini or points

We cannot sea that any serious intorruition can
