THE CRIMEA.

A Varna correspondent, writing on the 24th ult.,
cornmunicatea the followino• intelligence from the
Crimea :

"The siege operations are conducted by the French
General Bizot and the English General Burgoyne, and
each had 36,000 men at his disposal. Admiral Bruat had
constructed a strand battery above the quarantine harbour.
The French camp was removed on the 20th further towards
the Chernaya, in order to strengthen the right wing of the
English, which was exposed to an attack from Bakchi-
Serai. Genral Caurobert contemplated sending a division
into the spring lands, where the Russians had entrenched
themselves. All the sallies had had the object of destroy-
theer the camp fortifications, and were not direeLd against
eiege batteries. It was reported that the Russians
intended to make sallies in strong force, and in an ex-
treme case even to venture upon giving

The following is an extract from an OdesEa letter of
;he 26th, received in Vienna in an authentic quarter ::
"The distance from thiS place to Sebastopol is 640

wersts, which is travet:sed in thirty-six h ours rage larly, You
may receive telegraphic intelligence from Odessa, via.
Sisoheneff and Czernovvitz, in from thirty to thirty-four
hours, and from Sebastopol in three days two hours.
I learn the following from the seat of war. The
explosion of one of the steamers of the allies is
confirmed ; parts of the wreck were found on the shore,
and also corpses, horribly mutilated, which were
buried in the cemetery.. Sebastopol burnt three days
consecutively, but the stores of ammunition and pro-
visions were saved, though with great difficulty. A.
letter of 'the same date, from the Czar to Prince Men-
schikoff, concludes with the words, The enemy must
be defeated at any price ; and I hope that your next
messenger will bring intelligence of victory.' In all the
churches of the Crimea and southern Russia prayers are
being offered up for the success of the Russia* arms. The
Russian force at Bakchi Sarai consists of the 4th corps,
2 divisions of the 6th corps, 9 regiments of cavalry, 27
pulks of Cossacks, and 120 cannon, altogether amount-
ing.to more than 70,000 men."

The Journal de Constantinople repeats a rumour
which it declares requires confirmation, namely, the
entrance into Sebastopol by the northern side of Gene-
ral Osten-Sacken with 25,000 men.

SWITZERLAND.

We 'read in the amstitveionnel : —"The elections of
the National Council of Switzerland are at present
nearly terTninated, and it is possible to appreciate the
sense in which public opinion has pronounced. The
majority of the elected appear favourable to the new
Constitution, and it may be said that in most of the
cantons the spirit of conciliation has dictated the votes
of the electors.

SPAIN .

We have received the Madrid journals of the 31st ult.
The Siglo XIX. saystl se the budget is to be.prasented
to the Cortes by the Queen in;person.
The Espana states. that amongst the savings to be
effected are the suppression of the Royal Horse Guards,
leaving only the balberdiers as a guard for the Queen ;
the reduction of the \ Queen's civil list from 34,000,000
to 28,000,000 reals ' • of those- of the King, the Princess
'
of the Asturias, and the Infante Don Francisco de Paula
to 500,000 reals each, sand that of the Duchess de Mont-
pensier to 1,000,000 reals ; and, finally, the suppression
of the allowances to the Queen-Mother, and the other
members of the royal family...
It is also proposed to ieduce the budget of the royal
household from 47,000,-000 t0:31,500,-000 reals.

Our accounts froth Madrid are of the 30th ult.

Persons who pre-iend to be •in the- secrets of
Espartero stated that he intended to • resign the
Presidency of the. Council before the opening of the
Cortes. This course was recommended by the de-
mocratic party, which is anxious that the Ministry
should he appointed .by that Assembly.
The Minister of Fomento was preparing a pro-
ject of law on foreign immigration, which was said
to be drawn up on most liberal principles, and cal-
culated to induce foreigners to settle in Spain.
The Three per Cents. were done at 34f., and the
New Three per Cents., at 17f. 9Qc.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

TUBBIZONbI32 Oct: 10.—This day, Haffiz Pacha, our
governor, arrived here by the steam:boat Pursud, after
having. accompanied the new Muchir, Mustapha Pacha,
fromTchouronkson to Soukum Kale.

Letters haVe reached ais plaCefron:Latcias that 12,000
Circassian hor3earien had resolved to go to the Crimea,
and would soon be ready for embarkation in the event of
steam-boats being sent by the allies to convey them.
The Wasp, which was cruising about the coast of Cir-
cassia and Abasia, entered on the 4th into the port
of Batonm, after having superintended the trans-
port of provisions and munitions of war from Redout
Kale and Soukum Kale to Pitzunda. There is no' want
of provisions in the garrison of Redout Kale, and every
day the Mingrelians bring them fresh supplies ; but it
was doubtful bow far, it would be safe to admit them
into the fort. More than one, of them may be a spy in
the service of a Russian employe, disguised in the gar-
ments of a friend.

Within these few days there has been a continued
disembarkation of munitions of war, siege cannon, &c.,
at this place, and all the streets leading to the quay are
covered with them.

A letter from Erzeroum mentions an expedition that
had been undertaken against the Russians, who were
within a short distant of Baizazit, but no account was
given as to any action between the belligerents.
The Turkish courier, Feriaz Bey, travelling from Erze-
rouna:to Tchinan, was assassinated by the Russians be-
fore his arrival at Khoi ; the bags containing the letters
and despatches were carried off.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

Count Coronini, the Commander-in-Chief of the
Austrian troops in the principalities, has addressed a
letter to the Council .of Administration of Moldavia,
stating that as the Emperor of Austria had entered into
a treaty with the Sultan to re-establish a legal
and regular state of things. in the principalities, the
Cabinets of Vienna and the Porte had conceived it
necessary, in order to effect that object, to recall the
legitimate princes, and in consequence an invitation
had been sent to Prince Ghik.a to leave Vienna and re-
turn to his post in the town of Jassy, which the Prince
would do without delay. Meanwhile the Count con-
ceived it right to give due intimation of the fact to the
Council of Administration of Moldavia.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 20.--Yesterday the Hydaspes
steamer left for Volo, in Thessaly, to bring up some
Turkish troops destined for the Crimea. Reinforcements
are much wanted there, as both the British and French
armies have been sadly cut up by disease, and greatly
thinned by the losses ia the victory of Alma. 15,000
men are said to be detached from the army of Omer
Pacha in Wallachia, and on their way to Varna, to be
embarked for the Crimea.
It is said that 30,000 more French are expected out.
The Allied armies in the Crimea together do not num-
ber 60,000 men, British and French, whilst the Russians
are expecting strong reinforcements. The number of
cannon shots fired till the evening of the 18th by the
Allies and Russians at Sebastopol is estimated at 180,000.
As yet it has been impassible to ascertain the effect pro-
duced, and the respective losses. On the land side the
Russians restore the batteries damaged with marvellous
celerity, and do not appear to, lose cpurage ; so that it
cannot yet be' exactly. predicted when the assault will
take place.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Nov. 2.—M. von der Pfordten, the Bavarian
Prime Minister, arrived here from Berlin last night, sad
has taken up his quarters at the residence of Count
Lerchenfeld-Kofering, the Bavarian -Minister at this
Court. M. von der Pfordten had his first interview
with his Excellency Count Buol. We hear that he has
brought with him some tangible results of his mission to
Berlin, in the shape of a memorandum or draft of a
protocol,

- A Vienna letter of the 30th ult., in the Breslau
Gazette,. says

"In the note which the Cabinet of Saint Petersburg
has just addressed to its ambassador at Vienna, Russia re-
torts against Austria the complaints which the latter has
brought forward. She. pretends to see in the assemblage of
troops in Gallicia and the Bukowine a threatening demon-
stration which has compelled her to send the guard into
Poland. Everything which relates to the four points of
guarantee is carefully aioided in this note."
Another Vienna letter of the same date in the same
journal says :-,-

" It is known that the Rusiian Cabinet has just sent a
note to Its amhassador at Berlin. Another arrived two
days agei to PrinceGortschakoff, the ambassador atVionna,
the contents of which arc the same asethat sent to Berlin,
but has,. it is said, this important addition That in re-
ality the assemblage of troops in the kingdom of Poland
was first caused by the collection of masses of Austrian
troops in Gallicia, but that nevertheless these as-
semblages had merely a defensive character.' Prince
Gortschakoff went • yesterday and communicated this
note to • Count • Buol, but did not leave him a copy
of it. The differences which had arisen between
Austria and Turkey 'relative to the administration
of the Principalities appear to have been completely
arranged... The principal point . was the organisation of
the Principalities. Austria wishes to see established in
those provincei institutions which will allow less play to
party struggles, and limit the power of the Boyards. She
demands also that the Turkish Commissioner shall be
changed as well as the Commandant of Bucharest. These
demands have, as is known, been acceded to. It may be
positively affirmed that the army of Italy is not yet com-
pletely on- a war footing. What has been stated of the
formation• of armies in Bohemia and Moravia is merely
from simple rumour."
London, England, 1854-11-06

RUSSIA.

The Invalide Ruse, of the 26th ult., contains the
following proclamation of the Emperor to the army at
Sebastopol :

" His Majesty the Emperor havinc, received the report
of the Aiderde-Camp-General Prince kenschikoff, testify-
ing to the resolute courage, the exemplary firmness and
laudable abnegation which the army and navy forming the
garrison of ;Sebastopol displayed during the bombard-
ment of tho town by the Anglo-French on the 17th
and 18th, expresses his sincere gratitude to the said forces,
from the general down to the simple soldier, for the great
warlike exploits by which they have completely justified
the confidence of his Majesty. The Ethperor takes pleasure
in believing that they will not cease to distinguish them-
selves by their bravery, and by all the qualities which
distinguish the veritable children of Russia. "

The German Journal of Frankfort states from
Vienna that the Imperial Guard which has left St. Peters-
burg consists of 41,000 'infantry, 12,000 cavalry,
and 3,000 of the engineer corps, with 120 guns. The
total of the six Russian corps d'armde which menace the
Austrian frontier is stated to amount to 285,000 infantry,
30,000 cavalry, 18,000 artillery, and 720 guns. The
Austrian troops, under J3aron Hess, amount to 220,000,
with 300 guns, but that number can be rapidly_increased
if necessary.

left the Piraeus yesterday and to-day, with troops on

police ; and several Greeks, three Armenians, a Turk of
Trebizonde, and an individual calling himself a Pole, had
been arrested and sent off .to Constantinople. .They
are charged with being spies of Russia.

MILITARY.

The reinforcements for the army in the Crimea, to the
amount of 4,000 men, which we mentioned last week, are,
for the most part, on their way to the East. 1,300, in-
cluding the levien for the Guards, proceeded by the Queen
of the south steamer from Portsmouth ; the Jura steamer
took 1,400 from Cork ; the Ottawa steamer conveyed
600, and the Cleopatra will take out 700, to make up the
amount of casualties in the several regiments in the
Crimea. In addition to these the 57th, 46th, and 97th have
joined Lord Raglan's army, and completed the division
under Sir George Cathcart before Sebastopol. Officers,
artillery, and cavalry are constantly proceeding in smaller
detachments by-almost every ship proceeding to the Black
Sea. Reinforcements for the cavalry will be immediately
sent out.
The Commander-in-Chief has issued the necessary in-
structions for the formation of a camp at Aldershot early
in the ensuing year ; the number of men to be assembled is
10,000 in the first instance, the rincipal of whom will
form the advanced guard of the military force destined for
the Baltic. The Board of Ordnance have already com-
pleted the necessary contracts for the construction of maga-
zines, &c. The troops will begin to take up their posi-
tions early in March.
Captain W. E. M. Reilly, R.A., has gone out to join the
staff of Brigadier-General Fox Strang ways, commanding the
Royal Artillery in the Crimea, as his extra aide-decamp.
A new field battery has been formed of h
lery at Woolwich, and is to be named the t Fieldthe

The total number of militia regiments now embodied
anal out for permanent garrison duty is 18 ; six more will
shortly be called out for active duty, when several of those

mit them to join the encampment at Aldershot, and take
part in that grand military display.

BPROGGH HOP.

- - -
The imports of foreign hops into London last week were
very extensive, viz., 13 bales from Bremen, 683 from Ham-
burg, 158 from New York, 237 from Rotterdam, 377 from
Antwerp, 0 from Ghent, 29 from Dunkirk, 748 from
Ostend, and 20 from Calais. These large arrivals have a
depressing influence upon the demand for English hops. In
the quotations, however, very little change has taken place.

PORTUGAL.

The Douro steamer brings Lisbon letters of the
15th. Her Majesty's steamer Prometheus and the
Brazilian steamer Viamao were the only foreign
vessels of war in the Tagus.
The Royal Mail steamer Severn arrived at Lis-
bon with the mails on the 12th, and left for Brazil
next day, having been kept all the time under
quarantine at Belem, in consequence of the new
decrees of the Lisbon Board of Health, declaring
London to be infected with cholera since the 22d
of July, and all other ports in England suspected.
The same Gazette declares Genoa and Athens in-
fected, and all other Sardinian and Greek ports
suspected. New York and Barcelona are also in-
fected, and thus, seeing that most of the Brazilian
and Mediterranean ports were already excluded
from free pratique, the Tagus has become a per-
nianent quarantine station, and the means of en-
forcing heavy contributions upon the many for the
profit of the few.
The new Portuguese steamer Donna Maria 11.
had Completely filled the Lisbon Lazaretto with
passengers brought from the Brazils, principally of
the second and third class. The Donna Maria's pie-
/leer voyage out to Rio de Janeiro was 24 days, and
home to Lisbon 25 days, having been beaten by the
South American Company's steamer Lusitania. by
,three days outward and two days homeward ; also
„13,Y one day homeward by the Royal mail steamer
xhatnes, which left Rio 24 hours before the Donna
Maria.
There was no political news of importance at
44i sbon. The report that General Concha had pro-
claimed the Iberian union at Barcelona produced
Tory little sensation at Lisbon even during the 24
hours it was believed to be true. The Portuguese
:videutly fear their neighbour's embrace, and will
spire much courting before they accept it.
.12 he Minister of Finance was about to pay a
it of inspection to the works going on upon the
road between Lisbon and Coimbra, which is ex-
Pouted to be rea iy for the diligence by the begin-
ning 1855. The railroad between Lisbon and
tarem was progressing favourably towards
Completion.
London, England, 1854-08-24

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Snt, —Much has been said as to the conduct of the
officers of the 46th Regiment, and some say it has been
undeservedly censured. During their stay at Weedon,
only eight miles from this town, they were invited to
dine with the officers of the Northamptonshire Militia,
and, after they had left the dinner table, they descended
into the town, and commenced a series of pranks dis-
graceful to any body of men, and especially of those
holding her Majesty's commission. I ans sure the police
would most feelingly state that they have no memory of
ever having been so taunted and insulted as they were
by these men, and it was a perfect mystery to the by-
standers why they were not taken into custody.
In making the above statement I have no unkind or
illiberal feeling, and I have no doubt the gentlemen
constituting the court martial will do their duty dispas-
sionately, but I think it is but right that the country
should be apprised that, irrespective of the court martial
alluded to, the general conduct of this corps deserves re-
prehension, and has been highly unbecoming men calling
themselves officers and gentlemen.—l am, your's
faithfully, A CONSTANT READER.

P.S. I should probably add that all this happened
after they had parted with the militia officers, any one
of whom would have been ashamed of such conduct.
Lieut.-Col. Lord Burghley and the officers he commands
(who are now en route to Dublin) would never have met
them after such conduct, if apprised of it in all its
truth.

SlR,—Perceiving that a meeting of omnibus proprie-
tors has been convened to appeal against Sir Richard
Mayne's laudible proposal for an improvement in the
present inadequate accommodation for outside pas-
sengers in omnibuses, I am induced to beg the favour
of you inserting the following suggestion in your widely.
circulated paper:—Much caution is required on entering
an omnibus, particularly if the vehicle moves on at the
moment. Sometimes persons are precipitated forward,
at other times backwards. This, in many instances, is
owing to the two passengers on each side of the door
obstructing the entrance. An improvement in this
respect might be made at a trifling expense--viz., by
removing the two seats back about six inches, that
allowing sufficient space for passing. It would also be
advisable to add a small brass rod for resting the arm
upon, with round knobs attached. The latter would be
of great assistance in facilitating the ingress and egress
of passing. R. GUINNESS.
