| The telegraph announced yesterday that the

| York. She sailed from Havre on the evening Of

THE WAR.
There Is nothing particularly new from the seat
| OF war. The following, however Is a condensed
translation of long Russian letter, of 18th inst
received by the Ost Deutsche Post from Odessa:
by advices from Simpheropol learn that
there is great movement in that city. Many of
tho inhabitants are moving to the north and ali the
hospitals being removed to perekop, Nicoliaeff
and Cherson. The sick in those places are sent TO
Vossnersensk and Elizabeth-Grod. The prices of
provisions at Simpheropol are enormous Since
the cavalry action at Kongyll the enemy makes
simpe excursions from EuPatoria into the interior
The Russian corps of observation before Eupatoria
consists of 10000 q men, 10000 of whom are cav
airy. Intelligent military men are of opinion that
an advance from Eupatoria and Simpheropol and
Baktshiseral wopd be bad move, unless the allies
had powerful cavalry force and plenty Of artillery
at their disposal
The opinion of the Anglo French press that
Prince Gortschakof Is in a critical position is posi-
lively ridiculous. His whole army is now mobile
which naturally was not the case as long as he had
to defend South Sebastopol. 1t is mistake to be-
lievc that Sebastopol was the arsenal from which
he whole army drew its material. Between the LIST
of March and the 18th of August the fortress of
kieff alone sent =, 100000 bombs grenedss, and
ielb. and 9Glb balls to the Orimea The State paid
roubes and 30 copccts in silver for the transport
OF each pud (about % lb. English) from Kieff to
Sebaat0pol During the last few days, the famous
engineer Major General Todtleben has been here.
The headquarters Of the southern army are to be
removed from Odessa to Nicolaeif. General of
Cavalry Helfrecht will succeed General Lu-
dcrs here; hi, staff arrived yesterday. Lieut.. Gen
eIal Groshjem has left with the third division of
Light Horse, for Oczakof. The commercial har-
bor of Oczakoff which oil ships co aing from Vico-
laieh ChursOn and Odessa enter - of some iinpor-

ESGLAED.
We find nothing new in the Tim - respecting the
threatened difficulty between Great Britain and
the United States. The circular uf CrOskey e. Co.,
Oi southampton however, contains tho folio wing
Paragraph
''Ihe question of war between the United States
and Great Britain has been leading topic Of con-
vei sation and discussion for the last ten days
though few believe i'll the actual realization of such
direful event. An uncertain apprehension is felt
on all sides; nobody knows what is going Oh, or
where the first blow will fail, and even the absurd
idea of an American invasion of Ireland is gravey
discussed at Lloyd's and on Change"
The Paris correspondent of the Times makes no
allusion to the war question rsgards the United
States.
The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland had visited, on
the I'd inst, the public institutions of Belfast His
reception was q brilliant one.

Shanghai dates are to the 7th September, but
they contain no important political news. Canton
is quiet
4 large and heavily armed piratica feet has
been destroyed or dispersed by Her Majesty's brig
Bittern to the northward of Shanghai. Nineteen
piratical vessels have been destroyed.
The TaOutac, of Shanghae, has issued procla-
nation ordaining that from and after the Chinese
new year, February, 1867 all dollars or foreign
coins of the kind assaycd at the custonl-house, il
the presence of the Consus, shall be taken at par
with the old Carolus dollar, with reference to their
intrinsic purity and weight III silver. This is an
important step towards doing away with the icti-
ti0us value OF the CafOiuS uOiaT Dut the authority
of the Taoutae is limited to his district and the re-
formation of the currency must be matter of
time.
Prices of tea at Shanghae show decline of to
3 cts per picul The remaining stock and expected
supplies are of the inferior kinds. During the
month four vessels had sailed for America.
Freights had declined. The passenger traffic
between Shanghae, California and Port Philip has
been almost entirely annihlated by the restrictive
measures lately adopted against Chinese immigra-
ton. ...-
The United States steamer Powhatan and the
soop Vandaa were at Hong Kong, and the United
States sloop Macedonian at Shanghae.
