The easy capture Of Kioburn has produced the
ereatest CONSERVATION among the Phllo Russians
IN Brussels and Germany, since they knew that the
Grand Duke Constantine, upon inspecting the fortl-
fcations of Nikolaef, found them al Ogether I'M
seryiceable. The Government contractors and
controlling officials were imprisoned, and the
Grand. Duh organized Immediately building CON-
mission under bis own direction, which is employ
inc several thousands of wOrkmen to construct
defensive works that will resist any possible
ATTACK. Gen Todteben has been summoned to
Nkolaief from Odessa, where he was staying on
account of his health. All the details are con-
tanned in letter from NikOlaef of the 10th inst
when KinbuIn was not yet in the hands of the
Allies, who have now chance even to take the
creat arsepal of Southern Russia The presence Of
the willful, Boosting and dOmiDeering Grand-Duke
ut Nikolaef cannot bpt give rise to confusion
Thus, for instance, the fort at Otshakoh has been
blown up by the Russians themselves, though it
might have arrested the progress of the Allies for
few days, and at the present advanced season
even few days might become of decisive import
ance. The Russians seem seriously to expect an
invasion of their country on large scale, since
they are beginning to fortify Kew.
The English papers continue TO speculate about
fbe necessity of Prince GOrchskoffs retreat from
the Crimea, and assuming that it must become
disastrous if delayed until Winter, they feel in.
clned to excuse the want of activity on the part
of the Allies since the capture of Sevastopol. The
correspondents from the Crmea are less sanguine,
and look with distrust upon the new lines of de-
tense rising under the very eyes of the Allies on
the north eide of sevastopOl. The PhilO-Russian
organs of the Continental press, though rather
depending since so many reyerses uninterrupted
by a single victory, still believe in great battle

for himself 1t is understood that Trans Caucasia

Some strange hallucination about fillibuster-
ing expedition from the United States TO Ireland
seems to have taken hold of the English govern
ment, and accordingly the West India squadron
has been reinforced Still We cannot believe that
the real intention of England can be to interpOse
a. powerful fleet between this country aud the
United States" in order to prevent an Irish ex.
petition () from leaving the States, or to inter
rupt it in mid, ocean, as The London Times says;
and we are sure that all the noise about the United
Irshmen returning from America is but pretext
for reinforcing the West India fleet in order to
give Spain sufficient guarantee for the security of
Cuba and Porto Rico, in exchange for the Spanish
contingent which in the Spring is to be sent to the
East.
Mr.. Curtis, the English consul at Cologne,
subject of Prussia, has been sentenced to three
months Imprisonment and a fine of fifty dollars,
for having been accessory to the enliStiug Of
Prussian subjects in the British foreign legion

person of its agent, and that the matter has been
allowed to be brought before the courts Of justice
instead Of being arranged in diplomatic way. II
