RUssIA's DETERMINATION TO PROSECUTE THE WAR.
st. Petersburg letters mention that the fall
of Sebastopol has had no other effect on the
general situation than to increase the probability
of peaceful solution now being more distant
and more difficult than it was before. The re-
call of Prince GortschaYof, and his appointment
to the ministry of war, is definitely arranged
He will be succeeded in his command by Gen.
eral Muravieff, now engaged in the operations
before Kars. The Gar talks of holding out as
long as his foes choose to continue the war
All reports of precipitate retreat on Pere-
kop, without giving battle, are said to be ina
ginary. Strong reserves were on their way to
the Crimea from the interior of Russia, the
object being to occupy in force all the strong
positions between Khutor Mackenzie and Inker-
mann, with reserves posted at Baktchi Saria
and Simpheropol. The Russians would have us
believe their Crimean army, with these reserves,
amounts to 100000 men.
Without being curiously anxious as to the
future movements, there can be no doubt that
the Russians are bent upon trying their fortune
in second winter campaign. Meanwhile" it
is added, the transport of ammunition, and
provisions and stores is being driven on with
all possible despatch. The utmost activity pre-
walls in all the military and other establishments,
and at Nicolaief, where the Gar is at this time
present in DerSOn thew nrOfess to have nine war
steamers already completed, fitted out and pre-
pared for active service, and number more in
a forward state of outfit"
A letter from st. Petersburg, in the Wanderer
Of Vienna says: The evening before the de-
parture of the Emperor, council was held, at
which it was determined to carry on the war
with the greatest determination and the En-
peror directed Count Nesselrode to announce
this intention to the political agents of Russia
in foreign countries.
