circumstances it is plain tat the Russian ar

about five or six miles behind the Mackenzie
Farm. From this point he's enabled to watch
the movements of the Upper Bebec or in. the
direction of Eupatoria AID there, to all ap-
pearance, he is likely to semain unnoested
until the opening of next years campaign.
The advantage possessed by the allies of be-
ing able to disembark their troops upon any
point, compels the Russians to scatter their
forces IN numerous detachments all along the
coast from Odessa to Eupatoria. The report
that Nlcolaief Is garrisoned by fourteen bat
tallons OF infantry and six batteries of artillery
only, and Emerson by twenty one battallions
OF grenadlers, some artillery and Cossacks,
may therefore be rot without foundation
These places will have to rely upon succor
from without, when actually attacked, which
augnents the dar gers of surprise. The con-
centric movement oil the allies from Eupatoria
and the Cherngya upon Simpheropol has been
given up or deferred, at least, by Marshal Pei
lssler, his troops having retired from their adj.
vanced positions to their former lines. The
Crimean correspondent of the London Times
reports that the Russians continue to fire upon
the town, the Karabelnay suburb, and the
Malakof, and that they are busily occupied in
making roads downwards from the heights of
Mackenzie, thus keeping the allies on the alert
and threatening them with an attack. This
he assigns as the reason for the return of the

Katcha, and of another projected expedition
to Simpheropol having been given up.
From all this it is very evident that the Rus
slams, Notwithstanding the sangulne anticipa
tons of the British and French press to the
contrary, are no more willing to evacuate Sc
vastopol at an early date than to abandon their
entrenched camps, and that Marshal Peissier
is not over anxious to disturb them, on this
quarter at least. His main object sesms to be
the capture of Perekop, which movement is
undoubtedly very judicious one But that
the discovery of Perekop. being an important
place, and by tar less difficult to assault than
Sevastopol, was not made last year by the
commanders of the allied army will probably
be recorded by the historian as tremendous
and almost inexplicable blunder, especially as
they had fleet at their disposal, to make as
many "Reminiscences as they pleased Phil.
