behind then works On the following day,
Gortschakoff ascertained-what every one
knew before-that force of some 20,0e0 men
lad landed at Eupatoria, and doubtless re-
inforcing itself with all the men that could be
spared from the Turkish garrison, had marched
in southeasterly direction, towards the
Sinpheropol and Bakshiserai road. Whether
the telegraph blunders, or Gortschakof we
shall shortly learn it is pretty certain that
the force detached for the expedition from
Eupatoria must be nearer 10000 than 10000
men.
The position therefore is precisely what we
supposed it would be, when the news of the
capture Of the town first came to hand The
Russians already think Of falling back from
the forts on the north side; but the Allies, as
prompt as they, press eagerly forward to cut
Off their retreat. By the LIST October, suppos-
ing that no general action has taken place
before that day. the Allies will have complete
ly surrounded Gortschakof. In front they will
press forward under cover of the Russian bat
teries they have taken, while every strong po-
sition on the road to Bakshiserai will be oc-
cupied by the force marching from Eupatoria
and the detachment which-as the Russian ge-
neral remarked with so much anxiety on the
17th-has been accommodating the Baidir val
ley. Escape will be wholly impossible. To
winter where he is will be equally impossible
for the Allies will cut of every ARABIA that at
tempts to reach him from the interior There
will be nothing for it but to fight and unless
the Russians show themselves better men in
the field than they did at Alma, Inkerman and
Traktir Bridge, there will be some chance of
Prince Gortschakof's visiting Paris this win
ter.
There are two sides to every question, and
doubtless some jealous Russo phile could give
q brighter aspect to the Russian prospects. The
attitude of the Gar and the Grand Dukes does
not look as though they anticipated so serious
a disaster as the loss Of their army. We have
no information of the number of Russians who
may Turk in the neighborhood of Simpheropol
and Bakshiserai, nor whether the Eupatoria
detachment can succeed in occupying the
northern road. Gortschakoff shows no signs
of weakness; the present contingency must
have been foreseen, and it is improbable that
he has allowed himself to be caught without
seeing way out of the trap. Finally, if the
Russians can fight at all, they will fight now:
love for surrendering has never been their
fault Still, allowing for all these circum-
stances, it cannot be denied that the prospects
of the allied army have never been so bright
since they landed in the Crimea as they are at
present.
