FROM THE SEAT OF WAR
The intelligence from the seat of contains little that
is really Correspondence is to hand detailing the
capture of Knburn and the forced destruction of the
of Othakof Some allied shipsowar attempted to enter
both the Dneiper and Bug but retired after making
connossance
known that the Russian army of reserve intended for
the defence OF Odessa and for reinforcement of the army
in the Crmea, Is stationed at Ncolaef A large Russian
seen sailing ththerward, and, on their withdrawal
marched back speedily to Nicoaief Although since
the reduction Of Kinburn and Othako land force of the
allies may advance Nicoaie advces from the spot say
it questionable whether such enterprise thought of
at this Of the year. The tactics of the allied
commanders seem directed rather to expose the enemy
the destructive influences Of winter and cut off his
treat, than to offer open battle.
There is general opinion that the fleets have entered
the Gulf OF Perekop
THE FIRE AT sEBAsroPoL.
Sepastopol the allies continue their repairs of the city
and their preparations for the bombardment of Fort Con-
santne and the line Of works which the Russians hold
aud strengthening the north side desuory can
nohaae IS Kept up on no sides without much effect Large
were SID to have been withdrawing from
the north SIDE towards Smpheropo but these evidences of
preparations 70 cvacuate are said to have ceased.
THE cRIMEA EVACUATION
General Gortschako lately expressed his determination
to defend the Crmea at all hazards Now, however the
Emperor has left him his own discretion The allied
army is at present of considerable strength cavalry and
as Marshal Pessier in his despatch the affair Of the 10th
ult speaks OF the skirmsh of cavalry under Gen DAon
vile as naugurating series of operations" we may
expect to see more use made Of that arm.
Previous accounts have informed Of the advance of
face of the Prince Gorschakof now announces to
his government that in consequence of demonstrations he
made on their Hank the allies have returned to their former
positions Some other successes, but of triAng import
have been gained by the fleets.
RUSSIANS EXPECTED TO ATTACK.
In the Crimea belief prevails that the Russians would
attack the allied positons consequently the advance of
turned to Eupaoria the French Bada and the Turks
and Sardinians to the Tchernaya.
The allies repairing and arming Sebasopol and they
keep up desultory fire against the north side.
THE BEGINNING THE END.
We extract the following from the London Daily News
November in regard to the conclusion of the campaign
and the persstency with which the Russians hold out
against their enemies
Information from every source confirms ns in the rom
cuson that the campaign in the Cmea for the year 1855
is ended 1t too late to transport body of men to Eu
paoria sufficiently large compel the Russians to gene
raj action and their position along the heights of Macken
ze to Albat the Upper Belbek is too strong to be
forced The Russian general therefore maintains his no
sen with Simpheropol for his base and may to all APP
pearsnce, continue to do so during the winter
The government at St Pctersburgh is thus furnished
with the important fact of the actual occupation of the Cr
mes as an argument for her dpomatsts For they may
say II the allies desire TO have the Crime let them drive
the Russian army out Assuredly this wise obstinacy Of
the Russian general is full of instruction 1t proves the
vgor Of Russian administrative power which supply
an army OF some 900 men at great distance from
its real base Of operations 1t proves the profound pract
cal knowledge Of possessed by the Russian officers
who IN the face Of difficulties by shallow deemed APP
palng are determined to cling a strong position even
with an army which has suffered year Of defeats and vet
remains master Of by far the larger portion of the Crmean
province 1t proves how Justly the Russian officers estima-
ted the offensive powers Of the at this season of the
year. for had false estimate been made and had the inn
mediate advance of the allies been found practicable the
Russian army would, without doubt have been annhi-
lateda
