LATEST NEWS._

THE CRIMEA.

VIENNA, SUNDAY EVENING.
The following intelligence has reached Vienna
,hrough a Russian source

UP to the 7th nothing of importance had
occurred in the Crimea ; the attack on the outer
works was to begin on the 9th.
The extreme right of the Allies leans on the
slope of the mountains east of Balaklava, which
run down like immense walls to Aloushta.

The body of the right wing is at Kamara, and
outposts are posted on the Black River.
The centre occupies the roads leading from
liadjkoi to Sebastopol, and from Bakshi-Serai to
Balaklara.

The body of the left wing is at Karani ; the
outposts at Khutor.
The artillery, which is already disembarked,
consists of 24 to 48 pounders, with 800 and 1,000
balls each.

The howitzers and mortars have 500 and 700
balls each.

15,000 gabions, 20,000 fascines, and 18,000
piles have been used in constructing the batteries.

The allied army is not far short of 100,000
strong, and has 140 siege and 120 field guns.
The Russians have 34,000 men in Sebastopol,
and 30,000 aQakshi-Serai. Reinforcements are
daily expected.
The Russians have 800 guns in Sebastopol, and
100 field guns with Menschikofi's army.

According to advises from Odessa of the 10th,
there was a sharp cannonade on the 4th between
some English steamers and the Quarantine Fort.

DENMARK.
IMPEACHMENT OF MINISTERS.

The House of Representatives has voted, by a
majority of eighty to six, the appointment of a
committee to draw up articles of impeachment
against Ministers for the promulgation of the
July ordinance.

RETURN OF THE BALTIC
FLEETS.

NYBORG, SUNDAY, OCT. 15.

Yesterday two French line-of-battle ships and
three French frigates passed here on their way to
France.

To-day the Austerlitz, accompanied by two
French frigates, passed in the same direction.
The Inflexible, the flag-ship of Admiral Parseval
Deschenes, has also sailed homewards. So also
have the Neptune and Prince Regent.
The St. George is at Kiel.

Troops, heavy artillery, and munitions for
the Allies continue to arrive. General Espi-
nasse is here. The Russians have sunk thirty-
three ships in the straits of Tenikale, and have sent
reinforcements to Anapa and Kertsch by means of
lonian ships. On the 17th ult. the French Colonel
Bellerot was murdered at Rau Massat, eighteen
hours from Erzeroum, by six Kurds. The governor
of Erzeroum, Ismail Paella, found himself thereby
comp' lled to take active measures to put an end
t o the Zeybeck disturbances. The Aga of Kioger,
adschi Beker, accused of fav3uring the robberies
of the Zeybecks, has been brought here a prisoner.
It is rumoured that Schamyl has gained a victory,
and has not been beaten, as was lately reported.
OCT. 2.—The transports which carried the heavy
cavalry to the Crimea have met with a succession of
lees which fully justify the fears of those who re-
commended caution in navigating the Black Sea at
the period of the equinox. Whether the main body
of the vessels have reached the Crimea we have not
yet learne(l, but a transport arrived yesterday in Bu-
jukdere-bay, which tells a dismal tale. She carried a
portion of the Royals and 130 horses, and was towed
by the Simla. A gale came on when she was about
half-way on her journey. The hawsers parted int-
' nvdiately, and the unfortunate vessel was the ,wn
about for more than an hour without being able to
sot a sail to steady her. So violent was the mo-
tion that the upper deck gave way, and the horses
above were precipitated on those below. A scene
followed such as has been seldom witnessed. The
horses are described as actually screaming with
pain and terror. Of course no one dared to go
near them, and the end of it was that of 130 only
12 remained alive at the conclusion of the day.
The Teasel is now in the Bosphorus, and we are
ignorant whether any of her companions shared a
similar fate.

Lord Chewton, who was reportad as dead is in a
fair way of recovery. The officers here are getting
on very well, and the air of the Bosphorus is more
favourable in cases of fever than that of either
Varna or th• Crimea. _ _

" ALEXANDRIA, Oct. 6.—There is a great deal
of business doing in corn, and prices have risen
considerably."

THE SICK AND WOUNDED AT CONSTAN-

in Hungary. The same subject was touched on
sonie days since in my correspondence, but it was
not in my power to give any particulars. We now
learn that the prisoners, " who are generally
priests, landed proprietors, and advocates," are
sent by railroad from Pesth to Vienna. Among
the advocates arrested are Messrs. Theiss, Lombay,
and Graffel, who held office under the revolu-
tionary administration.
