Progress OF the War.
MOVEMENTS IN THE CRMEA.
Dispatches from Prince Gortschakoff to
Prince Paskewitch confirm the news of sim
utaneous concentric advance of the Allies
from Eupatoria, Baldar, Kertsch, and Kinburn,
with the intent of surrounding and cutting off
the Russian forces.
Lord Panmure has received intelligence
that Sir Colin Campbell has been sent to Eu-
patoria with considerable force of infantry
and artillery.
The Russian government has received the
following telegraphc report from Prince Gorts-
chakof
"CRMEA, Oct. l5.-The enemy abandoned
this morning the valley Of the Upper Belbek,
and retreated to the heights between that valley
and that OF Baidar. He was induced to retreat
by our movements on Hauri and Albat"
The army OF Eupatoria is said to have occu-
pied three important mountain passes. In the
cavalry action near Eupatora, Gen. dAlon
vile had only twelve squadrons under his or.
ders, while the Russians had nineteen.
BY accounts of the 18th from the Crimea,
the advanced posts of the Allies were, on the
18th, within five leagues of Baktchiserai.
The Russians were retiring slowly. Every.
thing leads to the belief that General Liprandi
intends to defend the line of the Belbek, and
to rest upon the corps commanded by Prince
Gortschakoff.
The battle which would definitely decide the
possession of this ground was expected shortly
to take place.
Other accounts state that the Russians have
surrounded the north side Of Sebastopol with
a chain of new Notifications, and placed it in
state to support the sick. All the plateaus
on the north side, it is said, are covered with
redoubts and earthworks, and on the line of the
Belbek new works, constructed in the form of
the Mamelon, have been raised
The Allies are extensively engaged in road
making and hut building, not only along the
plateau Of the Chersonese, but all along the
Tchernaya line up to Alsu The line of the
railway has been adopted for the main road
from Balaklava to the camps on the neighbor-
hood of Sebastopol.
The DAILY Neaos says:--"We believe that
there is no doubt of the fact that Gen. Simpson
has resigned his command in the Crimea, and
has recommended General Eyre as his success
sor. The government, however, have declined
to accept General Simpsons resignation
Vast stores Discovered In SebastopoI
A letter from Sebastopol of the I'd ult., re.
ceived In Paris, states that the English have
found IN the karabenaia 1922 pieces Of can
non, 100000 bombs and round shot, 80. 900
tons OF coal, 10000 600 rations engines, anchors.
and metals, valued at 10000, besides arms
and clothing.
Cavalry Encounter near Eupatoria.
The cavalry affair at Eupatoria, briefly al.
laded to by telegraph in the last dispatches, is
thus described by Marshall Pelissier in des-
patch published in the lonite,w:
"A brilliant cavalry engagement took place
on the 18th of September at Koughil five
leagues Northeast of Eupatoria.l in which the
Russian cavalry under General Korf was com.
pletely defeated. The action inaugurates very
auspiciously the series Of operations of which
Eupatoria will now be the pivot As the res at
OF the action we have taken six guns. three
cannon and three mortars,) IL caissons, and
one held forge, with their horses and harnsss:
log prisoners, of whom one is an officer; and
$50 horses. The enemy left on the field about
% killed, among them Colonel Andreawski.
who has the reputation of being a cavalry off.
Ger OF great merit We have six killed and
twenty nine wounded"
nc isuoolhu dCCOunL states tDat the HuSSlau
force concerned in this action was a corps of
observation consisting Of regiment of lam
GERS and a battery of horse artillery under Cen
eral de Korf, and at another point regiment
oflancers, commanded by General Tervelensky.
They had instructions to fall back if attacked
by superior force. General Korf having lost
sight OF the enemy who we're pursuing Terve-
lensky's lancers, halted and caused his men to
dismount. Not having placed videttes in pro-
per order, hort was surprised by between 1000
and 5000 of the French cavalry approaching
suddenly on his rear and right flank, and he
bad neither time to get his force in order. nor
to prepare for a combat The lancers were.
therefore, compelled to scatter and fell back

The correspondence received from The Cri

ton, consisting eff eighty ships, with $4,000
French and nearly 1000 British troops from
Balaklava, for destination imperfectly known

4 despatch from st. Petersburg, October Is,
says that the fortress OF Kinburn resisted the
Allies by very heavy fire up to the 18th, on
which day, at noon, the Allies entered the
place.

The Campaign In Asia.
The Allies have achieved another great vic.
tory-the defeat Of the Russians before Kars.
This affair was achieved by the Turks, under
General Williams, an Englishman, who has
maintained his position in Asia against unex.
ampled difficulties. The dispatch received by
the Ottoman minister at London from the gen
sral commanding at Kars, under date Of the
18th ult., announces the following:
The Russians attacked Kars today. The
combat lasted eight hours, and during the
struggle which could not have hoon oc -.
