THE EXPEDITION TO THE
CRIMEA.

The correspondent of the Presse affirms that the
loss of the allies by the cholera has been much ex-
aggerated. " You may be assured," says he, "that
altogether the French and English troops, with the
crews of the vessels, have not lost 8,000 men." The
reinforcements which have recently been received
have more than filled up the gaps which had been
made by the disease. The very idea of " having
something to do" has had a most beneficial effect
on the men, who swear that they will make the
Russians pay dearly for what they have suf-
fered in Bulgaria. The squadron which has
to blockade Sebastopol has neither troops of the
line nor marines on. board. The prevalent opi-
nion is, that the army will disembark between
the heights of Sebastopol and a small river
near Balaklava, but Austrian military men think
that the landing ought to take place to the north
of Sebastopol instead of to the south. Two
reasons are given for this—the one is, that the
heights above Fort Constantine must be secured,
as they completely command the war-port ; and
the other, that a landing-place must be chosen
where sand or earth, for filling sacks and gabions,
can immediately be found. There is such a spot,
as is said, about a German mile north of Sebastopol.
We have no positive knowledge of the strength of
the Russian army in the Crimea, but we read in
the Soldaten Freund that the garrison of Sebastopol,
without the crews of the vessels, consists of 10,000
men. 24,000 men are posted near Baktchiserai (a
place a few miles inland, to the north-east of
Sebastopol), and about the same number at Sim-
feropol, Karasou-Bazar, and. Theodosia.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.
THE ENTRY OF THE AUSTRIANS.

The following details of the entrance of the Aus-
trian troops into Bucharest are given in a letter
from that place, dated the 7th, in the Press of
Vienna :

" The Austrian troops, who are to occupy this place,
entered yesterday morning. The two brigades of Schwatz
and Burlo had assembled in the village of Bajosa, to the
north of the town. About eight o'clock in the morning
the Turkish brigade, which had been charged to receive
the Austrians, and two Wallachian battalions, also ar-
rived at Bajosa, and all these troops drew up in line from
Bajosa to Bucharest. While the Austrian troops were
taking up their positions, Omer Pacha followed by a
brilliant staff, the Council of Administration of Wal-
lachia, the metropolitan bishop, and the dignitaries of
the town, bad arrived to salute Field-Marshal Coronini,
at the head of the troops. As Omer Pasha was passing
along the front of the Austrian troops a Turkish battery
fired the customary salutes, and the Turkish bands
played the Austrian national hymn. The Austrian
troops were composed of nine battalions of infantry, two
divisions of Uhlans, and two batteries. Omer Pacha,
afterwards accompanied the Count de Coronini along
the line of Turkish and Wallachi9 troops, and the Aus-
trian artillery returned the salute. The troops afterwards
filed off, and marched into the town; the Austrians in front,
followed by the Turks and Wallachians. There was an
immense crowd assembled, but the cheers were not so loud,
nor the bouquets so numerous as on the entrance of the
Turks. It appears that the Austrian prociamation has
produced an unfavourable impression on the Wallachians,
who expected more from it than it contains, but public
opinion will doubtless improve on this point in a few
