not have pleased fortune to force upon them a
triumph without comparison History, never
without grain Of irony, perhaps desired to re-
serve to the world the curious treat Of lodging in
modest tower of the Bosphorus that old Museo-
vite Rodomspte who but year ago left the CAPT
tai of the dying man with the proud threat Of swsl
lowing up his empire. What bitter punishment
for the proud and arrogant Menchikoh, the TO-
menier and beginner Of the war, to return to Con-
stantinople aprisoner!
If this courier spoke truth, the history Of the
Crimea campaign may be resumed in very few
words: On the 18th and 10th the army landed at
Old Fort without meeting resistance: on the 18th
it marched; en- the Goth it Won the battle Of the
Alma, and on the 18th captured Sevastopol.
The next steamer due from Liverpool is the
Africa, which comes directly to this port, and
does not touch at Halifax. We can hardly eI-
pect her to arrive before Friday, till when we
cannot hope for absolute eertaiRty on this most
interesting question. Meanwhile it will prob
ably be most fashionable to believe implicitly the
whole story of this Turkish courier, and we hope
that those who thus receive il may no. be taken
down as much as our friend Louis Bonaparte was
at Boulcgne on the same subject. That imperial
gentleman, as our readers may see By referring
to another part of this paper, proclaimed the in
telligence at q review the other morning, in q
rather melodramstic style, in the clear and posi-.
tive words SerasfoPOi est prise. As he said this
be, perhaps, appeared to himself real Napoleon
announcing great victory to his troops. Tn
fortunately for the nephew the uncle never stood
in need of announcing victory; he fought bis
own battles and bis soldiers who saw the enemy
fy, required no confirmation. More unfortun-
ately, the announcement of which Louis Bona
parte could not withhold had to be qualified in
the evening BY the SOnsPrefet Of Boulogne, who
placa1ded statement that some dispatch had
arrived stating the capture Of ssvs..spoI. bit
