Accounts from Odessa" of the 30th of September,
state that since the day before yesterday we have been
in extreme agitation in the town and its environs.
Everything is in motion. The tents have been struck,
and the regiments have quitted their caserns ; the
streets are filled with soldiers. A report prevailed that
orders were received for the embarkation of 12,000
men. The convoy is to be escorted by four ships of
the line, which arrived in our port ten days past,
from Sebastopol. Where these troops are to be landed
is not known as yet. Count Worenskow pretends they
will be landed at Scutaria, others think at Abassie.
