The statRs OF the armies in the CriInea has,
il seems, completely changed since the last
a3rices At that date large force of The a.
lie, had advanced towards Simpheropol, and
important operations III that quarter were an
ticipsted. By this arrival we learn that this
force hiss returned to Eupatoria, and not only
that. but the lines OF the allies in the vicinity
Of Sevssfopol have been curtailed. Instead
Of offensive operations. the allies are now &C.
cap ed IN securing themselves against an at
tack The London Times saws t.thele can
be no doubt that all opeTstions on large
scale Tor the expulsion Of the Russians from
the Crimea are abandoned for the present sea-
son. The main body of both arrniea will at
once go INTO winter quarters, and the atten-
ton of the newly appointed British general
will be for the present chiefly directed TO the
provision OF shelter for his troops, their dis
tribution over dry and healthy spots, the stor-
ing of supplies 70 meet their necessary or
probable wants, the construction of proper
roads, and the organization Of effective trans
ports"
The London Daily Neps Of November ID,
ssys;-
Conformation from every source confirms
Us in the conclusion that the campaign in the
Crimes for the year 1855 is ended. 1t is too
late 70 transport body Of men to Eupat0ria
sufficiently large 10 compel the Russians to q
general action. and their position along the
heights Of Mackenzie to Albst on the Upper
BeIbeck Is too strong 20 be forced. The Rus
sian Gensrai, therefore, maintains his posi-
ton, with Simpheropol for mis- base, and may,
TO all sppesIanee continue 70 do SO during the
winter
A very general opinion prevailed in the AL
lied camp that the Russians meditaIed an at
tack upon the Allied camp around sevastopol.
Lord Panmure tslegraphed the information TO
General Simpson. and for many nights the
troops had slept on their arms. II was ow-
ing to this expectation that the advance Of
the Allies was eountermanded, and the adj
vGneing forces recalled 70 their former posi-
tons.
Via Constsntinople we have advices from
the Crimes TO tho 33d ult. Only %, GOO men
were a. that date on the plain of Chamli.-
The remainder Of the troops had returned to
their positions in the valley Of EchernaYa and
BeidzT. and 70 the lines winch they had oeeu-
pied during the siege. The FIRE continued
between the north and sonth OF Seyastopol.
General Simpson has been relieved from
the command IN the Crimea. and Sir William
Codrngton has been appointed TO sueesed
him. The new commander is about fifty, and
entered the army in 1921. He has held a

frat landed, and distinguished himself in ey-
cry battle. The United Service Gazette hears
that sons objection exists in certain quarter
to the new appointment, and that at present
Sir James retains the command.
The Allies have not yet shown the boldness
to follow up tf.eir successes agaiustl Kinburn
and Ocl skofH bs proceeding further INTO the
interior and attacking Nicolsief or Kherson.
and thus interruptlng the supplies for the
Russian army in the Crimea.
Correspondence has come to hand, detail
ing the capture Of Kinburn, and the forced
destruction Of The fort OF Otchakoff. Some
Allied ships Of war attempted TO enter both
the Dnieper and the Bug, but retired after
making a reconnaissance. 1t is known that
the Russian army Of reserve, intended for the
defence of Odessa, and for reinforcement OF
the army in the Criinea, is stationed at Nico-
laief. a large Russian force was marched to
Odessa when the Allied fleets were seen sail
ing thiIherward, and on their withdrawal
was marched back as speedily to Nicolaief.
