MosT EXTRAORDINARY MANIFESTO FROM
LOUIS NAPoLEos.-The most extraordinary
piece of intelligence by the Africa; is the
manifesto of the Emperor Louis Napoleon,
relative to the Crimean expedition; which is
evidently reply to the famous pamphlet
which was attributed to the pen Of Prince
Napoleon, the Emperor's cousin. The dis
patch says:
The Paris Moniteur contains n remarkable
document in which the military conduct Of
the allied governments since the opening Of
the war is explained II also promises that
the various phases, motives and objects of
the negotiations shall be made known-
The document occupies five columns. 1t
states that the plan of the campaign was:
First-1'o march and meet the Russians on
Balkans.
Second-To seize the Crimea.
Third-ro land ut Odessa, or some other
point ON the Russian coast of the Black Sea,
but not to proceed further on the Danube,
unless Austria joined the alliance.
Gallipoi WIS first occupied with an inten-
ton to check the advance of the Russians to
Constantnople, but the retreat of the Rus
SLAMS from Silistra rendered the further oc-
cupation of GaIipoIi and Varna unnecessary.
The allies could not have operated in Bessa-
rabia without the aid of Austria, and not to
remain inactive the expedition against Sebas
topol was undertaken.
The remainder of the document is occupi-
ed with pointing out the immense difficulties
of the siege and exhonerating Napoleon, who
planned the campaign. 1t also contains a
copy of Marshal st. Arnaud's private in.
slructions. The document has excited
much interest at home and abroad, and
is regarded as an apology for raising the
siege.
