THE WAR.

THE EXPEDITION IN THE
CRIMEA.

The following telegraphic despatch has been re-
received this morning :

VIENNA, FRIDAY, SEPT. 22.

.From Russian sources I learn that the Russians
did not oppose the landing, of th© English and
French troops, because their entire force in the
Crimea numbers only 38,000 men besides the
garrison of Sebastopol, 12,000 strong—viz., 8,000
cavalry between Eupatoria and Simpheropol, and on
the heights from St. Crimea to Sebastopol 30,000
men and 43 guns.

The Russians will defend their heights to the
uttermost.

The Austrian Government sent a despatch yes-
terday to Baron Hess, ordering him to concede
the occupation of Galatz and Ibraila to the Turks,
if Omer Pacha desired it.' ,Thus all differences are
handsomely settled.

proceeding.
understoods that Prince Menschikoff, with
35, otcto is
drawn from BatschtSerai and Simphc-
ropol, with all the disposable force from Sebastopol,
were assembled on the heights near Balaklava, pre-
pared to oppose the landing of the allied forces !

JASSY, SEPT. 18.

Prince Gortschakoffleft on the 16th for Skulani.
Jassy is completely evacuated. The bridge over
the Pruth is to be removed to-morrow.

PARIS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 23.

The illoniteur publishes the following despatch,
under date of Constantinople, 15th inst. It does
not bring later intelligence
" Lord Raglan wrote on the 12th that the coast
was not seriously defended.
".On the 13th, three regiments had landed, and
taken possession of Enpatoria without striking a
blow.

" The landing of the whole army was to take
place on the following day, at twenty miles south
of that town.
"The weather was magnificent."

.
The Einancipcitidn; of Brussels has the fol-
lowing, dated Vienna, Wednesday evening :
"Our news of the expedition is favourable. The
Russian fleet, which had left Sebastopol to oppose
the landing, has been 'compelled to re-enter the
harbour in disorder. The, batteries on shore were
completely destroyed in the space of a few hours."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

It is related that the Russian force quitting Mol-

davia and Wallachia does not amount to mare than
80,900 or 9),000 men, and, if this be the case,
Prince Gortschakoff must either have lost one-third
of his army by sickness and the sword, or a large
body of troops must have been sent across the Pruth
before the regular evacuation of the Principalities
began. On the 10th General Budberg had an in-
terview with the Austrian Consul-General at Jassy,
and requested him to protect the Russian subjects
after the departure of the troops, which Baron
Testa (the consul) is said to have promised to do.
Advices from Bucharest state that the recall of
Prince Stirbey, for the resumption of his functions
as' llospodar of Wallachia, was decided upon at
Constantinop!e against the concurrence of Omer
Pacha, who, we are told, is much annoyed thereat.
It seems that the Ottoman Generalissimo entirely
diapproved of the invitation sent hither by
Dervish Pacha, the Ottoman Civil Commissioner,
to Prince Stirbey, for the latter's immediate return
to Bucharest. A special negotiation had also be-
come necessary in order to induce Omer Pacha to
delay his occupation of Ibraila for about ten' days
longer, as by that time the Austrian troops would
be enabled to reach that place, and do the needful
duty there. But notwithstanding these undeniable
and by no means unimportant differences, it is
confidently expected that a good understanding and
perfect harmony will be maintained between the
Austrian and Ottoman military authorities. It is
added that Omer Pacha appears willing to withdraw
apart of his troops to Bulgaria, whence they may
probably be sent to reinforce the Asiatic army,
if they are not wanted as reserves for the allied
expedition against the Crimea. Finally, we learn
from Bucharest that above fifty Austrian soldiers
have already fallen victims to the ravages of the
cholera in Wallachia.
