The City Of Philadelphia was running

was backed of, and run aground in Chance

Late News from Europe.
The screw steamer Alps, from Liverpool
on the 18th Sept, arrived at Boston on
the Sd Of October, and files of English
journals up to that date have been received.
The news POSSESSES features Of consider
able interest-the most important of which
is the announcement of the departure of the
expedition against the Crimea. 1t sailed
from Varna on the 4th September, and was
composed of $4,000 troops and about 100
ships, which would be before Sevastopol on
the 10th. News of the landing may be ex-
pected to reach Varna on the 10th, and
would be looked for with the greatest in
terest.
The EXPEDITION TO SEvAsroPoI.-T The
armament consists Of $4,000 French and
nearly as many English. To these must
be added q force of about Is, 900 Turks or
Tunisians, excellent troops, and likely TO
be most useful in country where the spo-
ken language bears much resemblance to
their own. 1t is probable that, should
events require it, an additional force Of
French will be directed to the seat Of war,
from the other points where they are at
present stationed. The smallness Of the
French contingent is TO some extent the
effect Of the terrible ordeal through which
the army Of Marshal st. Afnaud has pass
ed. The troops who left France and Al
goria are stated to have attained the num-
Der of 10000 men. OF these, 1000 are
dead, and some 5000 more are unit for
service. There are detachments at Athens,
Gallipoli, and few at Adrianople, and
$4,000 will in a few days sail to meet the
enemy. Those whiclr remain in the coun-
try will, however, form a considerable
force, from which reinforcements may be
drawn as the enterprise may require them.
The spot intended for debarkation is still a
secret. Supposing the army landed, and
unopposed it remains to consider what il
will attempt Should an immediate attack
