EXPEDITION TO THE CRIMEA

The Journal de Constantinople says that the
troops of the expedition to the Crimea will probably
land between the Bth and the 10th,

Another account, also from Constantinople, and
purporting to be official, states that the landing
was expected to take place between the 10th and
the 12th.

The Lloyd has an interesting letter of the 4th
from Varna. Only two or three steamers have
remained, which will keep up the postal commu-
nication between Varna and the fleets. Just be-
fore their departure officers and men were half
beside themselves with joy. The French officers
embraced each other before the front, and the pri-
vates gave vent to their joy by tossing their cape
into the air.

The Lloyd informs us that Sebastopol "isto be
razed, and the Russian fleet now sneaking behind
its walls annihilated," and adds, " that the same
fate awaits all the towns on the coasts of the
Crimea." It is not doubted that tho fortifications
of Odessa will also be destroyed.
From Vienna we learn that a portion of the
expedition was off the Isle of Serpents ontho 9th
instant.

The Grand Duke Constantine is on his way to

the Crimea.

Said Pacha has offered to the Sultan another
contingent of 10,000 men.

The following telegraphic message has been re-
ceived from Marseilles

BALTCHIK, SEPT. 6.
We are just weighing anchor for the Likud of
Serpents, where the fleet is to rendezvous.
All goes on well.

According to advices from Constantinople of the
10th, the English portion of the fleet had been
seen on the Bth steering for the north.
MALTA, Sept. 13.—Yesterday afternoon arrived
the French mail steamer Egyptus from the Levant.
Most anxiously has she been expected—for the
desire of information respecting the movement of
the ships and troops on the one hand, and the pro-
gress of cholera on the other, have served to keep
our public in a fever excitement that it is impos-
sible to describe.

On the two events public anxiety is relieved, for
the cholera has now disappeared, and the troops in
the fullest health and' spirits set sail on the morn-
ing of the 2d inst. for the scene of the future ope-
rations of the allied fleets and armies of England,
France, and Turkey.
The following is an extract from a letter, dated—
" Constantinople, Sept. 5.

"Our harbour is without a British or French man-of-
war. Three days ago the Arethusa frigate anchored
behind the Seraglio point, and on the next day was
taken in tow of the Retribution, destined for the Black
Sea.
"On the 2d inst. the allied fleets, English, French,
and Turkish, left Varna for Sebastopol, having all the
transports in tow. The expedition was magnificent to
behold, no less than 600 ships having been counted.
(Another letter mentions the number of all sail, includ-
ing gunboats, pontoons, 'lke., at 1,200.) On the follow-
jog day this immense fleet put into BAldjik. The troops,
who have been living for so long a period in activity
are in the greatest spirits, and look forward with the
greatest anxiety to the commencement of operations.
" Wahave at present a knowledge of that which serves
to keep alive the anxiety which has prevailed, and look
forward with more than C01311)2011 interest to the next arl
