the fact that the Allied armies of operation
threaten the Russian Army both from Eupa-

the Civil Governor, Leszezynski, announcin,

PROSPECTS OF THE ARMIES IN THE CRIMEA
The last official dispatches report the south
side Of SebastOpol to be occupied by detach-
ments of French and English troops, who
had distinct quarters Of the town assigned to
them.
The Russians corcentrsted their forces in
the northern FORTS and were occasionally firing

a force amounting to between 80 600 and
4O,OOO men threaten the right wing Of the
Russians from Eupatoria.
