under cover of the artillery of the fleets
along the coast towards Alma and Bel

Constanstinople letter mentions that the
Fsench eighty gun ship Henry w., which
ran ashore on the 18th November, has
been turned into fort, and is of much
use to the allies. There are one hun
drcd men on board with guns, and the de-
fences they can make is so formidable
that tie Russians dare not approach the
town on that side.
The flag staff battery at Sebastopol is
said to have been moved by the French
who only wanted favorable opportunity
to blow it up.

y letter from Dcssarabia speaks of nu
merous reinforcements of Russian troop:
moving on towards the Crimea. The
plan of the Russians is said to be first
to crush the Turkish army at Eupatoria
and then attack the French and English
armies and if possible drive them into tho
