RUSSIA.

The Fremden-Blatt of Vienna publishes a letter
from St. Petersburg, in which it is stated that on
the 27th October the Czar refused an audience to
the Prussian Ambassador.
A letter from Odessa of October 25, in the
Lloyd of Vienna, says :—" Since the residence
of the Grand Dukes at Kicheneff, a daily commu-
nication is established between that town and Se-
bastopol by way of Odessa.
The departure of Russian reinforcements for the
Crimea is continued without interruption.
This day a convoy of 2,000 carts has left with a
brigade of infantry.
The Cologne Gazette, publishes the following
despatch from Warsaw, of the 3d :—" The Russian
troops on the Austrian frontier are to be with-
drawn behind the river Pilica. The advance
guard of the army will remain on the left bank of
the Vistula. Gen. Scheodajew has received orders
to form two armies of reserve for next spring. The
Pilica, which rises near Tarnowiez (Poland) forms,
along its whole course, the boundary between the
Governments of Masodia and R3dom, and falls
into the Vistula to the south of Czerski."

We learn from Mostar that the pacha of that
place is enlisting all, without distinction, capable of
bearing arms. The Porte has demanded a contri-
bution of 5,000 purses from the pacha of Mostar,
and likewise, it is said, from the pachas of Mace-
donia, Arnaut and Bosnia, but there is very little
probability ;that the " purses" will be forthcoming.

RUSSIAN NEWS FROM 'THE CRIMEA.

(From an Extraordinary Supplement of the Invalids
Busse.)
A report received from Prince Menschikoff,
dated October 23 (N.s.) gives the following further
details in continuation of his former report on the
operations before Sebastopol :
On the 20th of October General Semiakine re-
newed his offensive movement from the village of
Tchorgoun on theright bank of theriver Tchernaya,
advancing for that purpose two columns on Komarz
and on a small fortification which the enemy had
constructed a little behind that village.
Our detachment having found that these two
points had been abandoned returned to its former
position, which it regained at nightfall. In conse-
quence of this movement the English troops ad-
vanced anew upon Komarz, and opened a fire of
musketry and artillery against the heights which
we had quitted; but beyond this attempted nothing.
In the night of October 20, several detachments
of volunteers were sent against the enemy's lbat-
teries. One of these detachments, composed of 5
officers and 27 men, suddenly entered the French
trenches, spiked eight mortars and eleven guns,
and as speedily returned to the place, after having
thus made the enemy's battery useless for the work
of the morrovr.
This fortunate sortie, which spread alarm in
the enemy's camp, cost us two officers killed—Lieu-
tenant Troitsky and Prince Pontiatine of the marine
guard--.and a sailor. The other detachments found
the enemy everywhere vigilant and active, and re-
turned to the place with- a loss of twelve men
wounded.
During the bombardment of the 20th we lost. in
all 50 killed, including three officers, and 197
wounded, of'whom five were officers.
On the 21st and 22d of October the siege batteries
of the enemy continued to bombard Sebastopol,
but the damage caused to our fortifications was
as on preceding days of small extent and easily
repaired, so that in none of our bastions has the
firing been interrupted. Our lom on the 21st was
.10 killed, including one officer, and 160 wounded,
of whom three were cfficers. Our loss on the 22d is
not exactly known.
On .the night of Oct. 21 and 22 came of our
picquets, composed of 8 men, seeing an English
patrol of 40 men approaching, boldly threw itself
on the enemy and dispersed the patrol, and made
its commanding officer, Lord Dunkellin, a captain
of the Guards, and son of Lord Clanricarde, pri-
soner.
From the seaward the enemy has attempted no-
thing.
At Eupatoria the operations have been limited
to skirmishes between our outposts of Lancers and
Cossacks with parties of the enemy who attempted
to leave the town. On the 20th a detachment of
volunteers, composed of Lieut. Goriatchoff, Cornet
Bogomalots, and 20 Lancers of the Regiment
H.I.H. Mad. the Grand Dtteliess Catherine Mik-
hailowna, and some Cossacks,taking advantage of the
thick fog, galloped up to the town itself, plunged
into a crowd of Tartars who were outside the wall,
killed 12 on the spot, took two prisoners, wounded
a great number, pushed into the town on the heels
of the fugitives, killed the three French sentinels
at the barrier, and, while the town was in complete
. confusion, withdrew, driving before them cattle,
sheep, and horses to the ndniber of 1,000.
In this'skirmish Cornet Bogomalets was slightly
wounded with a lance.

THE WAR ON THE. DANUBE

A letter .from Galatz, under date of the 25th
(Lloyd), informs us that the Russians in Bessarabia
are not
.in a position to assume the offensive, but
are compelled by the comparative smallness of their
numbers to' remain strictly on . the defensive. All
the marches and countermarches, on both sides of
the Danube, are merely for the purpose of deceiving
the Turks, of whom there are about 30,003 at
Ibraila; and the Turkish troops continue to concen-
trate there. Omer Pacha was expected at Ibraila.
(We hear from another quarter that he is at present
at Rustchuk.) The squadrons of Skender Bey and
Zadik Pacha are already at Ibraila. The belli-
gerents aro nearly face to face at Ibraila, only the
river dividing them.
.Preparations were being made for the reception
of Prince Ghika. The Secretary of State, Stourdza,
and the Minister of Public Instruction, Mauro-
janni, were expected at Galatz from Jassy on the
28th inst., to receive the hospodar on his arrival
from Vienna.
In a communication from Hermanstadt, to one of
the journals in Vienna, it was announced that Ge-
neral Danuenberg, with 20,000 men, was at Ismail.
The lialisch correspondent of tho Lloyd corrects
this statement, and informs us that General Dan-
nenberg, with the infantry and artillery of the

4th infantry corps, is at Odessa, and the remainder original article possessing sufficient interest for cx-
of the corps, e., the Liprandi division, is at Se- 1 tract on the affairs of the East.
bastcpol. This division was not long since engaged
in the Caucasus, and there suffered terribly. It
took part in the Hungarian war in 1849, and two
years after was paraded before the Czar in Volhynia.
It was also engaged in Lesser Wallachia. The
affair with the English happened immediately upon
the arrival of the division at Sebastopol, and the
Kalisch writer appears to entertain no doubt that
the Russians were completely victorious.

It was stated some time a';o that orders had
been given for the building at Toulon of several
gun-boats on an entirely new plan for the Baltic.
The report was premature, for the order was given,
only a few days since. The plan of a new descrip-
tion of gun-boat was sent to the chief engineer of
Toulon by the Minister of Marine for his report.
It was considered good by that functionary, but be
sumitted it to his assistants, and one of them pro-
posed some important modifications, by. which the
new boat would become a formidable floating bat-
tery. These modifications were laid before the
Minister, and approved of after examination by the
council of the Admiralty. The modified plan has
been sent to Toulon, with instructions to build
four boats with all possible expedition ; and copies
of it have been forwarded to three other Govern-
ment dockyards, with orders for each to build four
boats on :the same principle.
Accounts have been received here to-day of the
sudden death of the young and beautiful Countess
of Strathmore. She died at Florence on Friday
last of inflammation, after a short illness. Lady
Strathmore was a daughter of Lord Barrington.
The Austerlitz has just arrived at Cherbourg.
All the French ships of the line which were in the
Baltic have now returned to France.

A review of the second division of the army of
Paris took place to-day in the Champ de Mars.
The'French Government continues to send large
reinforcements to the East.
