WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST q, 1854

INVASION or THE CRIMEA.-It is not safe
to predict any decisive movements of the al
lied armies but it now appears as if the Cri-
mea is really to be invaded-possibly by this
time it is so. Sebastopol is not impregnable
by land, and its reduction by such a force as
that of England and France is considered by
no means difficult. We shall see "Thepre-
else spot on which the expedition will disem-
bark, says London journal, sis not known
to the public the spot must, of course,
have sufficient depth of water in shore 10 al
low the approach of the ships, or at least of
the steam frigates so as to cover the boats
and troops with their guns 1T must have
fresh water for use of the troops,-and it
must have natural facilities for throwing up
fieldworks to protect the first landing from
an attack by a superior force. Several such
favorable spots are to be found on the south
west promonotory of the Crimea. Between
the port of Sebastopol and Cape Chersonese,
within distance of about seven miles, there
are no less than three inlets or harbors-the
bays of Streletska, Peschana, and Kameesch,
which are not fortified on the land, and are
more or less accessible to vessels of war
To the South of Cape Chersonese, the shore
below the monastery of st. George might be
eligible. and The deep haven of Balaklava
would be most important position in pos
session of the allies. Some one of these
ports will, no doubt, form the basis of opera
tions. From such a position Sebastopol may
be attacked in the rear. Until two years ago,
sebastopol was scarcely fortified at all on the
land side, and was commanded by hills ada
cent to the city. Since 1852, wall, two
miles in length, has been built from the cita-
del to the quarantine harbor, but it is proba-
BILE that this wall is still unsupported by the
outworks required to give it strength, and the
heights outside these lines still give the be-
sieging army formidable position of advan-
tage. 1t is not to be forgotten that the south
ern part of the Crimea, which the allies will
hold, is the only part that can be called fer
tile, consequently the Russians in the interior
or northern part of the peninsula will have
the more difficulty in providing supplies"
The London Daily Meas, on the other
hand, while admitting the probability that the
force embarked from Betschick may be des-
tined for the Crimea, throws ridicule on the
statement of the London Times, that land
ing will be attempted near Sebastopol. The
News asserts that the proper place to effect
a landing is in the spacious bay of Theodo-
sia. Sebastopol is 100 miles distant, and
there is good road along the southern shore.
A whole army, it is added, might be landed
and entrenched before the news could reach
Sebastopol and but a few days would suffice
to place it in position under the walls of that
fortress. Perhaps, however, (says the News
the force now at sea is not destined for the
Crimea at all, but for Anapa, or some other
place in Asia.
