hero :

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 30.

Tho Banshee has arrived with official de-
spatches, dated Balaklava, evening of the 28th.,
The siege artillery had been landed at Balak-

were in the port of Balaklava, where there was
every facility for landing siege artillery.

Prince Menschikoff held the field with 20,000

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort publishes a
telegraphic despatch from Vienna, dated the 2d,
and communicated to
i that journal by the Syndi-
cate of the Bourse, n which it is stated from
Bucharest, the 30th, that Omer Pacha had re-
ceived despatches, announcing the news which
has been sent from Vienna,l y the Baron de Bour-
queney, but 'which, as.. he stated, rested on the
authority of the courier from Constantinople, and
not on any knowledge of the despatches forwarded
to Omer Pacha, for he was at Silistria, and it
was necessary to send on the despatches to him. As
it does not require more than 24 hours for a courier
to go from Bucharest to Silistria and return to Bu'
charest, the nature of the despatches sent to Omer
Pacha could have been known in the capital of
Wallachia on the Ist. If these despatches had con-
tained the important news announced by the courier,
Omer Pacha would certainly have communicated it
officially to the authorities of Bucharest and the
fact would have been known inParis on the follow-
ing day.
