the coast Eupatoria Is fifty miles distant from Be-

concerned, may be considered at an end There IL
no fortress in the Crimea capable of standing regu-

The forts and guns Of Sevastopol, the Russian eet
in the harbor their crews and the Russian troops
already in the Crimea, all that the Gar can count
upon TO oppose the invading army. The soldiers
Withdrawn from Georgia are being marched, It Is SAID
upon Simpberopol; but KeItch and Anapa un
deIsood 10 be blockaded by the English, and II that
force goes round by Yenichi or Perekop-the only
other points at which it find access 10 the Crmea
it will come too late. There also rumors Of
the army driven out of the Danubian Prncipali-
ties being directed by forced marches the Crmea,
hut even if it should come up ia time, thoroughly
demoralised as it is by succession Of defeats it
would little avail. Lastly some nonsense has been
talked about a levy en- nsasse of the Crimeans; but
this though every adult male called out, would
not give 90 900 men, of many Heterogeneous and in
compatible races most OF them feeble, all destitute of
military training habits, and not possessed Of arms.
The Russians il the Crmea must fight the allies with
the regular troops already there, and they certainly
DO not seem adequate 10 resist their assaants Had
the landing been made the south eastern coast, the
Russians might have had better chance; but the in
va0ers have entered the Crimea ts most assalabe
side. Ii is with sincere pleasure that we hail this
prospect Of at least home blow at the Car being
struck before the campaign closes. We have not
been slack in denouncing iltlmod delays and yacll-
latiDg panless movements, but this III order to
correct the evil The English with their gallant allies
are on the Russian coil, and we can only heartily bid
God speed them.
