AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Oct. 30.—A rumour is very prevalent
to-day in this city, no doubt promoted by Russian
agents, that in the night from the 23d to the 24th
the Russians had gained some advantage in a sally
from Sebastopol. The foundation of this is a de-
spatch from Warsaw, of the 29th instant, accord-
ing to which, in one of the numerous nightly sal-
lies, the enemy succeeded in spiking eight mortar,
and eleven guns. There may or may not be truth
at the bottom of this - but, at any rate, it is neces-
sary to wait for intelligence of a more reliable na-
ture than is ever to be found in the mendacious
Russian despatches. The Presse gives the rumour
above mentioned in, extenso :
" Intelligence from the Crimea does not to-day also
reach further than the 23d. The bombardment of Sebas-
topol, according to advices from Odessa had continued
since the 190, without any particular effect. The
Russians are said to have made a grand sally in the

distant period, be another levy of 90,000 men.

PARIS, Thursday Morning.— Yesterday being
All Saints'-day, none of the Paris papers, with the
exception of the Moniteur and Galignani's Messen-
ger, have appeared this morning.
The following telegraphic despatch has been
received :—" Madrid, Oct. 30.—Generals Dulce,

The Memorial d' Aix announces that on the 28th
ult. 1,500 men belonging to different corps had
arrived at Aix from the camp of the south, and left
two days afterwards for Toulon, where they were
to embark for the East.
Lieutenant-Colonel Renaulrl, Aide-de-camp of
Prince Jerome Bonaparte, had passed through Aix,
on his way to the Crimea, being charged with an
extraordinary mission to Prince Napoleon.
The Courrier de Marseille of Wednesday says :
"New contingents for the army of the East are being
daily embarked in our port, and departures are not
less numerous from Toulon. They are to form a
new division of our army (the sixth), and are to
assemble at Constantinople. One brigade ,of this
division is to consist of the 233 light infantry,
the 28th regiment of the line, and the diffe-
rent troops which at present compose the corps
f occupation in Greece. This brigade, which is under
the orders of General Meyran, must have already
quitted the Pirwus. Another brigade is to consist
~f the 6th battalion of Chasseurs de Vincennes, and
.)f two regiments not yet designated, but which vtill
probably be taken from the garrisons of Marseilles
and Toulon. The Chasseurs are to leave Lyons on
the Ist for this city, where they are to embark.
The corps at the Pirnus will soon receive important re-
inforcements, at present stationed in the Camp du
Midi, waiting for their turn to embark. All the rein-
forcements about to be sent out will increase our army
in the East to at least 75,000 men."
The Sentinelle of Toulon of the 30th ult., says:—
" The transport Egerie has entered this port to re-
ceive stores. It is not, as has been stated, 100,000
rations which each vessel destined for the Black
Sea is to receive, but 300,000. All the workmen
and employes of the Direction des Subsistances
were employed yesterday, though Sunday, in em-
barking provisions in the vessels destined for the
Black Sea. Yesterday, two merchantmen, one a
Greek, the other a Sardinian, arrived here to take
on board stores for the fleet. Other merchantmen,
freighted by the Government for the same purpose,
are daily expected."
