General Canrobert has told us what the cau,ure
Of Selastopol would cost us it lives, and we may
take lis military reputation as guarantee for the
accuracy OF bis estimates. And, II the loss he has
preoiotea should occur, the allied commanders
must resort once more to the defensive until fresh
reinforcements have been sent to their aid This
may involve us in another winters campaign and
hence the necessity OF providing against such
contingency. We do not believe, however, that a

If neither of these places should be selected as
the scene OF the operations In contemplation,
either Odessa or the Sulina mouth must be the
object OF attack. The movements of the Turks in
the Dobrudscha incline us TO believe that some
combined operations will te attempted ere long

the enemy stores at Odessa would be great and

of time the enemy have been allowed to increase
their deiences, and 70 augment their garrison, 1t
would require the presence of the whole O. their
armies and fleets before Sebastopol to make any
decided impression on that town.
FROM THE cRIMKA
The accounts from the Crmea speak of the
great losses OF the Russian troops from disease,
heat, want Of provisions, and particularly want
OF room In the hospitals of Simpheropol, Bak,
shiserai Perekop, Theodosis, &c. The want of
surgeons and dressers is very sensibly felt In
tne Crimea, although every available member
OF the profession had been forwarded from
Odessa -

troops in the works OF the trenches. .'i
