By accounts of the j 9th from the Cri-
mea. the advanced posts of the allies were,
on the 18th, within five leagues of Bak-
tchiserai. The Russians were retiring
slowly. Everything leads to the belief
that General Liprandi intends to defend
the lire ofshe Belbek, and to, rest upon
the corps commanded by General Gort-
schakoff. s.et.s. ..r.....-.- ...z
The battle which would definitely de-
eide the position Of this ground was ex-
pected shortly to take place. - .7-.
Other accounts state that the Russians
have surrounded the northside of Sebas-
topotwith a chain of new Notifications,
and placed it in a state to support the
sick. All the plateaus on the north side,
it is said, is covered with redoubts and
earthworks, and on the line ofthe Belbek
new works, constructed in the form of
the Mamelon, have been raised.
The allies are extensively engaged in
road making and hut building, not only
along the plateau of the Chersonese, but
all along the Tchernaya line up to AIsu.
The line of the railway has been adopted
for the main road from Balaklava to the
camps in tAe neighborhNod of Sebastopol.
The Daily News says -" We believe
that there is no doubt Of the fact that
General Simpson has resigned his COM
mand in the Crimea, and has recommends
ed General Eyre as his successor. The
government. however, has declined to
accept General Simpsons resignation.
A letter from Sebastopol of the I'd ult.,
received in Paris, states that the English
have found in the Karabeluaia, 2,222
pieces of cannon, 100000 bombs and
round shot, $4,000 tons of COAL 3,OOO,-
600 rations, engines. anchors and metals,
valued at G7O,OOO, besides arms and
clothing. aar
The cavalry affair at Eupatoria, briefly
alluded to by telegraph in the last des>
patches, is thus described by Marshall
Pelissier, in a despatch published in the
MOniteur
"a beautiful cavalry engagement
took place on the 29th of September at
Konghill Give leagues Northeast of Eu-
patOria. in which the Russian cavalry
under Gen. Korf, was completely defeat
ed. The action inaugurates very con-
spicuOusly the series of operations of
which Eupatoria will now be the pivot
AS the result of the, action we have now
taken six guns, (three cannon and three
mortars, e caissons, and one field forge,
with their horses and harness 100 pris-
Oners, of whom one is an officer; and $50
horses. The enemy left on the field about
so killed, among them Col. Andrewski,
who has the reputation of being caval-
~ officer Of great merit. We have six
killed and twenty nine wounded"
The Russian account states that the
Russian force concerned in this action
was corps Of observation consisting of
regiment Of lancers, and battery of
horse artillery under General Korf, and
Mt another point IL regiment Of lanccrs,
commanded by General Tervelensky
They had instructions TO fall back if at
tackled by superior force. General
Korf having lost sight Of the enemy who
were pursuing Tervelensky's lanccrs,
halted and caused his men to dismount
Not having placed videtts in proper order,
Korf was surprised by between 1000 and
5000 ofIhe French cavalry approaching
suddenly on his rear and right flank, and
he had neither time to get his force in OF
der, norto prepare for combat. The
o. lancers were, therefore, commpelled to
scatter and fell back fighting. Loss $50
lancers, a subalrern officer, guns and
some Of the gunners.
The Bank Of England announced on the
18th uIt, an increase in the rate OF dis
count to six per cent. for sixty days bill,
and per cent. for paper running to 95
days. The present alarm has been crea-
ted in commercial circles, as these are
higher rates than those which preceded
the panic of l847, though then, it is said
the rise as put off too long, and thus
caused greater mischief An immediate
suspension of the restrictive clause of
Peel's bank bill was asked for, but
the Chancellor of the Exchequer had
said there was nothing to warrant such
proposal.
The Bank of France has also raised its
rote of discnnnE tn six -ner cant-ihnr snr
