three months again at the point where they were
at the beginning of the campaign. SebastoPol
will wait for them still, with its three lines of
defence, with its streets barricaded like those OF
Saragossa, with its suburbs mined, with its fleet,
and with its fortresses on the north. From this
period pestilence and the typhus will continue
their work; and when the summer is ended, the
winter will recommence.
Meanwhile the Russians are taking measures
which are not very encouraging for the Allies
The Gazette de la Croir, the Berlin newspaper
which is best informed of what is taking place in
the interior of Russia, has been written to as
follows, from the C:imea:
g portion of the corps Of grenaders which
has hitherto been garrisoned in Poland, and
which consists of eight regiments, forming an
effective of 10000 men, has already passed Ar
manskoy Bazaar, to the south of Perekoff, and is
going to march directly on the line of the
Tchernaya. These are the first picked troops
which Russia has sent into the Crimea.
Here, then, is already the advance-guard of
the army of Poland in the Crmea. Russia,
stupidity tranquillized by the English cabinet in
its fears of a war on the yistua hastens to throw
all her disposable force on Sebastopol; and the
Independence Beige, journal of the Emperors,
announces, in its Muscovite correspondence, that
no soldier ofthe allied armies will leave Crimean
soil without permission of the Russian authori-
ties
This may certainly be not SO droll since the
English press seems to believe it,
To calm the apprehensons of public opinion
doubtless, Nj. Bonaparte has just convoked his

of the Emperor" is in need of money. 1t is
question of a monster loan, but which, if we
must believe persons well informed, will not be
effected like the last. 1t will not be national,
as these gentlemen say; but it will be made
principally with the banking houses at Al and
81 per cent. It will be, as you are aware,
for seventeen hundred and fifty millons-an
amount which, with the late loan, will carry the
assessment ofthe expenses of war for this year only
to fifteen hundred millions of francs. In regard
to this new act of squandering, is related every
where just now singular fact which has trans
pired from the closed doors of the councils of the
ministers On Wednesday last, M Bonaparte
assembled his ministers towards noon, and it was
decided that they would limit themselves to
bank, having been consulted, answered that it
would require, as guaranty, that the govern
ment should deposit in its vaults the next SIX
months revenue. There was great emotion at
the Tuilerics and in the evening new council,
in which it was resolved to convokc the Cham
bers and TO proceed otherwise. The .Moniieur
did not receive the decree Of convocation until
late hour of the night The manner in which
this new loan is made is very signifcativc. Does
NJ Bonaparte not dare again to address himself
to France Directly Have his projects advised
him that France is tired of all these sad and
ruinous follies, and that the two millards five
hundred millions, which had so much confidence
year ago, withdrawn into their canvass
bags, and refuse to go and serve under the tent;
willingly believe so, for my part. And then
the gentlemen capitalists mstrust perhaps the
morrow, which Revolution reserves for all its cu-
pable and immoral debts with which the budget of
France is now burdened. They have doubtless
prescntiment that the Republic will refuse to
recognise this paper, will tear these coupons to
pieces, will trample under foot these checks
signed by Bonaparte, and will Danish gnomn-
ously all these creditors of the national shame
who specializing on our disasters, settling
revenues on themselves with our Affections, and
constituting themselves vendors Of the temple
when the temple is hung in black.
