the time Of tie autumnal storms, aid may I'm
proye the seriously damaged prestige o. the
Russian army. 1t is a hopeless fight for the gar
risop.
A. to the Crimea eIpe iition, il il one Of the
most interesting strstegica problems Of the prss
ent war. The English, French and Turks, about
sO,C00 men, in all, though ttis figure is evidently
exsegersted, have already TO great extent left
the harbors and roads Of Baltshik, Varna- Barsas
and Corstantinople. The Russian fcrces IN the
Peninsula are set down by the ScldaiegfreHHG, a
Russian organ of Vienna. az follows: garrison OF
Sevastopcl and marines On the feet in the har-
bors, N,000; eight de:achments of 200 70 5000
men each, on different points of the cosst from
Perecop to Kafs, 81, 900 men; two detached
corps, chiefly cavalry, at Kara su Bazar (Blaek-
water market and simfsropol, $1,000 meni
the Russian army of the Crimea, therefore, ia At
least equal if not superior to the Anglo French
and Turkish army Of invasion, which on the other
aide s backed and supported by powerful heet-
while the Russians are cut off from any relief as
soon as the Isthmus OF Perecop is occupied and
fortified by the allies. The 1sthinus IS therefore
Of considerable strategical importance; its beet
deienses are the marsh fevers, as it is surrounded
BY extensive swamps. The Paris correspondent
of The Times believes that il is against Anapa
On the Circassan coast that the expedition is TO
proceed, while the German papers surmise an
attack on Odessa.
Prince Danilo Of Montenegro continues to
threaten the fortress Of Sputz and to brag that in
fortnight be will capture it; but his artillery,
though placed on hight, which commands toe
fortress, is so badly served that be has not yet
begun to bombard Sputz and he will probably
soon return to bis residence at Cettinje without
having fired oLe single shot against the Turks.
He was induced to believe that the Servisns were
ready to Join him, but his emssaries have been
captured by the Turks, and the SerSians will not
swerye from their allegiance 10 the Sultan. The
usual consequence of a war in the East, robber
bands, composed both Of Arnatoies and Afbani-
ans infest the countries and plains of Epirus aud
Thesssly Fusd EGendi has not yet succeeded in
putting them finally down, but much has already
been done for the pacifcatiOn of the country.
The new Pasha of Egypt is very popular. He
has abolished the regul ulstions on the corn trade,
which gave distinct monopoly TO the Viceroy,
and made him not only the political ruler, but
likewise the only merchant and banker OF the
country. The octroi duty, that is to say the duty
paid upon the importation of any sort of eatables
from the country into town has likewise been
literally modified. His inte ntion is TO remain
Oh the best footing with England and with the
Sultan. His financial difficulties have been re-
moved by the lucky discovery Of several millions
in the Deseitpalace of the deceased Abbas f.sha.
From Central Asia we have startling news.
The Russians, after having succeeded in making
the Khsnat Of Khiva dependency Of Russia
il seems that the Khan frightened by the advance
of the army on his capital, Urgeridj, yielded aud
accepted the protectorate ofthe Gar r,-have nov
captured Kokan, and are therefore the masters
of the two great rivers of Tarsn, the Oxus and
the Jsxarty, or ss the Fasteners call them Of
the Stebon and Geehon. Only three small, insig
nifcant States, Shersabes, IIissar and DsXvas, d-
vide now the possessions Of the Gar frdWBalkh
which is the last acquisition Of the Afghans, and
be threatens Bokhara from two sides at the same
tipe, from Khlva ,s well as from Kokan. In con-
sequence Of such position Russian Influence is
daily strengthened in Persia, ksbul and BOkhsra
and will soon extend to Thibet, and to all the Tar
tar countries of the Chinese Empire. II is the
first beginning of formidable league against
British IAdis, now, Of course, despised by the
English, but in the course Of ten or twenty years
il will be more formidable to England than the
power of any European combination.
Some extracts Of letters sent by the Envoy OF
the Chief of Her,t to his mater from the Capi-
tai of Persia, and published in to. days Times are
in so far important tn At they show the low es.imste
and bad reputation of England in all the Eastern
countries. "The Minister Of Persia called Hea-
"vtn to witness" writes the Heratee, "that the
"English were, Of all nations, the most perfdi-
" Gus; that they would deceive Herat by magnih-
cent promises and then leave the chief to hi n
" self This had been precisely their conduct in
" Turkey, where they had fomented the quarrel
" between Russia and Turkey, and then, when
Turkey declared war against Russia, they had
" not raised finger to assist her"
The Heratee envoy after describing his inter
view with the English ambassador, who assures
him of the friendship Of England-whch how
ever, he does not dare to avow openly-remarks:
This is certainly surprising Kind Of friendship
that man conceals in his breast, not daring to
a. confess ii openly. 1t is plain to me that there
sis nothing to be expected from the English En-
"bassador in spite of all his promises; but an
"iosi 'm speculation as to what can hare haPPesed
"to this Engiish nation" The poor Heratee,
though lost in speculation, is still more clear
sighted than the English people which should
