The Monttel,r publishes the following in the form
OF letter from Constantinople:
The expedition TO the Crinca ia at length decided
ON and S.vastopol will be attacked. This great de-
cision has been announced to the combined armies to
the East and io oil Europe By an order OF the day 81
Marshal ST. ArnauG, in which the noble ardor Of tn
\, role struggle which is about 10 be entered on and
the patriotic affrmatons of speedy victory, are ex-
pressed with eloquent energy. Russia Is 70 be struck

bridge which, in the ld-a OF the Car has long united
ST. Petersburg TO Constahtinople. II is necessi ary
that this fleet should be taken from Russia ia order
that that power shall DO longer have anything but m
possibilities in the east and that the chances even OF
treason shall be defDitivey taken from her. IL Is
after long and mature elaboration that Of all the az
tacks possible against the Russian possessions in the
Black Sea, the most formidable has been chosen for

enemy iDtrenehed behind an inclosure Of walls and
fortresses.
but it is in attempting such great exploits that
armies maintain and increase their renogn, and, more
over NAV there not be a military miracle expected
from this flte of three armies, who will rival each
other in ardor and bravery-from this combined

The greater part OF the Anglo French troops and
10 600 picked Turkish troops will be conveyed IN two
trips OF the fleets TO the shores Of the Crimes At

uoraizaiion of Russia, afd materially facilitate the

humber Of Russians present in the Crinea should be
more considerable than was supposed, If the town
