gress OF tho War.
The bloody episode of the fight of Tr,uhir seems
kelly TO have little effect the of events in
10 Crimea. The Russians have retired up their
arrow and we'll fortified passes to the steep plateau,
here, according to General Simpsons latest report,
icy once more prepared for offensive movements
ttention is, therefore, again turned to the siege Of
ebastOpol Little on which Judgment may be
unded, can be learned either from the dispatches of
&c Generals from the correspondence Of letter
riters before the city.
To our previous knowledge that the besiesers' sap
. ad approached very to the Russian defences,
e now learn that the foremost parallel which has
cen begun at the two ends, completed and uni
ID in the middle OH the 18th of August. Since then
fortnight has passed without much incident Gen.
simpson mentions 4 small sorc in which the Rus
| ians succeeded in destroying some sabions. For
he rest-thc daily life Of the camp hardships and
n:,sements the death leave of indv dual officers,
u both public and private letters. On the great pre-
aratons of the last ten weeks the hopes of the be.
iegers are fixed, and the fire that will open when the
line comes, will be unexampled in the history of
The eannonade of October last, SAYS the Times,
trifling that of April; April was surpassed
~ the two days which preceded the capture of the
Namelon; but all will sink into insignifcancc with
he iron tempest which will shortly be poured on the
eseged city. The weight and range Of the guns,
he number and size Of the morars, the new positions
Il the batteries won 10y the steady progress which
las marked the Summer, will try the endurance Of
russians TO the utmost. The great scale on which
UGH bombardment is carried on, and the prepara-
ions necessary for its execution render the DELAYS
Inch precede IL matter of little surprise. In
Apri, the Allies threw against Sebastopol, in nine
lays $50, 900 shot and shell. The cost of the Bri-
fIsh ,lnIt inpa n, Vat
April is now looked backed upon a a time when we
Indervalued the enemy and did know what Sc
nstopol was.
Even ordinary days the Russians often tn, ow
1000 shot in the "a hours and GOO shells into only
Dnc part of the British position. Whatever the re-
sources of the garrison and the strength OF the works
at which they labor night and day, there can lie no
doubt that the approaching struggle will determine
he fate of Sebastopo for the winter at least. No
one pretend to forete the issue; all that is spo-
ken of with certainty is, that the line otbattle ships
IN the harbOr will be DESTROYED, at least driven
from their position SO As be made powerless against
the ASSEMBLING troops. Whether the besiegers shall
take the Maakof-whether they can keep it-wheth-
err it will lead the immediate capture Of the town,
only to Interior all matters of doubt.
Should victory not favor the besiegers' arms, they
will probably be forced wait in activity till another
spring, when change of tactics may assure success.
The beseging Generals have set all on the hazard Of
doubtful struggle at a sing point, and we must wait
the result
Russians, meantime, are actively engaged in bridg
ing the harbOr, TO remove their defence Ia the north
side should the south be taken.
The evils Of divided command are more and more
felt. The line from Baider to Inkermann, distance
Of twelve miles, is occupied by French. Sardnians
and Turks, and with part Of the English cavalry
each nationality under its commander, and to-
tally independent of all the others. Report speaks
vaguely Of plan to unite the commands OF all the
trOODs the Tehernaya in Oneh hand
As six weeks, or at most two months. the ut
most limit that be assured for military operations
attention is turned to the means of supplying the
mics during the coming winter. MIR. Beatty, Civil
Engineer, has received orders to construct Two
lines of railway from the Col de Balaklava TO
kamiesch, to be worked by horsepower, and tie
other from Kadeko to the Woronzof Road, (near
the Sandman position Tchergoun.) to he work
ed by locomotive. The labor of erecting these roads
will be supplied by the French and Sardinans. Mr..
Beatty believes that the original railway will last
during the winter, and POO men of the army works
corps arc now engaged in repairing. Stores and
sheds arc being erected rapidly possible and
other preparations for winter going on with GU
rrgy.
DISTRESS IN ODESSA.
The captain Of French brig who was wrecked
near Odessa, and remained in that CITY until exchan-
yed, has Just returned 10 Marsciles He gives a Ia
inevitable account OF the general distress which pre-
walls among the inhabitants Of Odessa-and many
hitherto opulent families, he says, are really starv
ing. The inhabitants are in constant apprehension of
hcing bombarded. The town is mined.
The Pope is founding college at Rome for the
education of English clergy.
The town Of Chiavasso has been chosen as the CEN
trail depot of the Anglo Italian legion.
Cholera still RACES in Central Italy. In Northern
Italy the disease still RACES, although somewhat ala
ted in virulencc.
The London Times has an editorial-eyidently put
forth as feeler-suggesting that an English and
French fleet should be sent Naples, although (says
The Iimes) neither France por England would accept
"A rod Of King Bomba's beautiful territory. Ii is,
however, a question il France and England are not
traitors to their high mission when they acuuesce in
the infection of such ntolerable evils rs the King
infcts upon the deienoeess population Of the Two
Siclies. Ii the Neapolitians should ever he strong
enough take the matter into their hands, there
is no one in Western Europe but would bid them God
speed.'
THE DANISH SOUND DUES.
The following is the precise text of the Danish
note addressed to the American Minister at Copen-
hagen, in reply to o communicatorn which notice
is given of the intended cancelng o! the treaty which
existed between the United States and Denmark
Comfortably to the wish which you expressed to
me the 18th of August, have the honor OF an
