The Invasion of the Crimea—Reasons Why the Rus: | sians Offered no Revistance—T ¢ Reserve—The | Austrian Occupation of the Priacip wities— Anti: | cipated Insurrection in Denmark— The Batic | Fleet—Louis Napol:on—London Items—Deercase | of the Cholera—Immorality cf the English Army and Navy— Miscellaneous. i Various suggestions are made and versions given | of the reasons why the Rossians did pot make any attempt to prevent the lauding of the allies ia the | Crimea. The following is @ Russian explavation:— The Russians offered no resietance,because they have not more than about 40.000 infantry and cavalry, (besideg the garrivon of Sebastopcl, consisting of | about 12,000 men,) at their command. Ox the pliin | between Eupatoria and Simferopol four regiment of Rossian horse are encamped (about 3,000 sa- bres). On the heights fiom the convent of S:. Crimea to Sebastopol three divisiour (about 30,090 men), with only forty eight cannoa, are drawn up. Thus the main object of the Russian general in oom- mand will be to defend toese heights to the uiter- | most. Another version is that Prince Menchikoff, who is eommander-in-chief in the Crimea, was deceived by a portion of the fleet appearing off Balaklava, and bad made preparations to oppose a landing there. However this may be, the one grvat fact remains: The allied armies bave 'anded without firing a shot or losing & man. Letters from Varna of the 13th announce that the reserve of 12,000 French and 6,000 English had already commenced embarkicg for the Crimea. Events in the Crimea must bave some influence upon Germen government. Tao Diet at Franktort has met, but the Eastern question has not yet been discussed. The Paris Moniteur publishes an im- portant paragraph relative to the occupation of the Dapubian Principalities by Austria. It says:— In the negotiations which have taken place be- tween the Cabinets of Paris, Loadon, and Vienna, on the enbject of the occupation of the Principsli- ties by the Austrian troops, it has been agreed that the Fienoh, Exglish, and Ottoman armies may, if they think proper, co operate in that measure, and that no embarraesment should resuit from it for the defensive or aggressive ations which the three belligerent Powers might direct against Russie. Faithtul to this engagement, and anxious to prevent any misunderstancing on the subject, the Km eror Fraccis Joseph sent on the evening of the 2ist an order by telegraph to Generel Hess, nct to raise any impediment to the movement of the Turkish army on Glatz and Ibraila, ahould that movement enter into the combinations of Omer Pacha. Yet Austria maintains that she is not at war with Rassia, but simply ina state of armed neutrality. ‘This is very like Lord Clarendon’s “drifting towards ‘which created such a laugh at the time. How long this state of things can last, I cannot pretend tosay, But the German governmoats had better beware, and Prussiaespccial'y. Tie feeling of the people is averse to Rossia, and symptoms have ¢vinced themelves of late,whish, like « apark, might be easily fanned into a flame. Austria has made heroo/f a mortal enomy in Rus- sia by joining the Western Powers, in the note of 8th August, and recognising the necessity o° the existence of the iot+grity of the Torkish empire. The governments of France and Eng- Iand believe in her gcod faitb; they are aware of her-emberrassmenta and difficulties, and they are indulgent; but the people—the great psople, who live by insiinct, who are suspicious by nature, who judge by facts—care little for di- plomacy and demand sacte—that great pit of the world’s theatre— wio with eager eye and inflated nostrils watch the stirring scenes of the drama, and if carried away by excitement jamp bodily upon the stege and satisfy the feelings by destroy- ing what creates the indignation—well, the people, I say,fot Prossia and of Austria, are getting excited at thé preponderance of Russian influence in Germany, and governmentamus t beware. I have already informed you that the Danish peo- ple, sick of Russian influence, had resoved to rise on the 2d October.

Campboll called at the consulate and ar- | gued with Sanders, I have understood, that on the | issue of hia own exequatur Sanders’ acta were no | longer legal, enceavoring to make Sanders coincide | in the n ity of bis (Campbell’s) coming in. | Sanders replied that at any moment that his eu. | cesscr desired it, he was quite ready to give him full poveession.

But, irritated at his | faijure, and embarrassed under the pressure 0’ opular sentiment by a sence of shame at being the frvtrument of ad ive revenge, and stil’ more barrassed by his fear of the ponderous Secretary o State, Campbell drove down to the consulate a day | or two after, lste on Saturday afternoon, as Sande:s | was just leaving, and toid him the fact was that he must go in before the sailing of the next steamer, or Marcy would play the—nobody knows what—with | him.

It bad been whispered that Prince Napoleon was also opposed to it; bat the Emperor, es if to show how he discounte- nanced the romors, has, since his retarn, been perpetusily exchanging friendly visits with Jerome's family,as has also the Empress. The fact is, that Paince Napoleon has bad, a'most ever since he joined the army, ® most virulent tertian ague, which, of itself, must have been quite suffi: cient to have ehaken out of bim any of those pecu- liar qualities of obstruction and impracticability of which he has, not withont reason, esjoyed the credit ; and it is well known that be j: ined this ox- pedition with a determination to win, if it were possible, fair fame for a garland. Perhaps nothing is likely to give the French move juss views of their country’s foreign policy than a History of Turkey, at present in the press, by the band of Lamartine; at least, if the iatroduction to it, now first published inthe Constitutionnel, thongh written, we are told,some months since, be taken asanexample. Lamartine is assuredly a very ex traordinary personage, and with all his faults, follies, and eccentricities, will be remembered by posterity os a remarkable man in a no less remark- able era. The great foible of Lis character is his self-avfficiency. In both private and public life he is one of the most amiable of men ; but when, with his distinguisbed bearing, bis graceful person, and fixe intellectual head, he enters where men do congregate, M. de Lamartine expects, a4 a matter of right, tbat all eball immediately lift their eyes and ope their cara that they may see and hear.

Yesterday the Emperor and Empress of the French drove in an open carriage from Boulogne to Soulecques, to eseist at some grand military ma- necuvres of the Army of the North. The day pre- vious they visited the camp of Honvault, ber Ma- jesty taking the most lively interest in ths encamp- ment and establishm:nt of the soldiers, who wer evidently charmed with those feminine attentions which no one knows how to pay with more touc. ing grace. On their return they alig'ited at the weatern pier of the town, and waiked to the end of it, his Majesty taking the opportunity of examining its construction, and giving orders for such a thorough renovation as would greatly improve the port of Boulogne, often very dangerous in severe weather. Their footsteps were everywhere follow: ed with loud and repeated acclamations, The Empresas takea a marked interest, { must ob- serve, in everything relating to the Russian pri- sonere—the feminine portion of them especially. It would seem that the sex in Russia are mach the same as every where else, and in point of dress are net one whit less coquettish in their taste than French women. Flounced dresses, siik mantles, handkerchiefs uniquely arranged at the back of their heads, small, well fitting shoes, showing pretty feet and tapering ankles, covered with hose white as their owa snows,and drawn on with a care which leaves not a plait or wrinkle to offend the eye, are some of the general and predominant cha- racteristics. The majority have good teeth, with light'sh beir, very fine and silky. There is only one positive exception to this, and shc has the raven locks and dark eyes of her Arab origin. She is a Jeweas. The children are kept very clean and well dressed. ‘The Rucsian soldiers are at liberty te move about the island of Aix, where they are located, under con- dition of answering to their names two or three times in the course of the day, and they are found to exhibit the most perfect docility aud mildness of deportment. It is observed that their officers in- dicate no kind of sympathy wits them, and never acknowledge, by word or look, the respectful, or rather servile, attitude which they assume at their approach. The polite salutation waich they meet with from the French, in return te their own marks of deference, seems equally to astonish and delight them. The Rassian officers have dined with the gwrisop. They came en grande tenue, in fall unt- fotm, and their manners an@ conversation made the moet favorable impression on their hosts. Politisal questions were freely entered upon without awaken: ing apy unpleasant sensitiveness, and the converia- tion was throughout lively and animated. M. Far heim, who is the civil governor, acd officer also in the Russian Imoerial Guard, said, in taking leave, “We are only, you know, machines of war—what is our fate to-day,may one day be yours; once off the field of battle we have no longer enemies—we are all brothers, as every form of Christianity or-* dains we should be.” The Colonel appears to be a person of most superior attainments, weli skilled, especially in gunnery and the use of such weapons as ere at present in vogue, and praises the carrabines of the French chasseurs, which he considers far su: perior to those used in his own service. Inthe course of conversation it was observed that the for- tifications of Bomarsund were intended to have con- sisted of fifteen towers, united together by a wall, with triple bastions of granite. The Emperor of Russia, it appears, had forbidden, under any circum- stances, the foundations of the fortifications to be touched; the consequence was, the approaches to the place could not be broken up, and the French breaching batterics were, therefore, easily placed in positions favorable for the attack, snd out of the reach of Russisn guns. General Bodisco, the late commandant of Bomarsund, who is located for tae present at Havre, declares the Chasseurs de Vin- cennes renaered attempt to take aim utterly impossible, and that if they can only be broughi to act on Sebastopol in a similar manner, he would not give much for its chance. Asaconclusion to the cholera data J gave you in my last, it will be perbaps interesting to some of your readers to give the total number of deaths in all France, fiom tre diacase, this year up to the last accounts. The number of these is 88,626. As I stated before, these accounts declare the disease to be dying away, and think it dues not invade new localities. “‘ At Paris,” says the Union Medicale, «¢ the cholera is wpe trp ldo aha true, bat little every days and it maintains in its retreat character which it presented while it prevailed —that is tosay,a sort of hesitation, and never striking great blows. In this reapect it presents @ great contrast to certain otber piacesin ['rance, where, all at once, it broke out in the bighest state of intensity , and alterwarda suddenly fell to a few wolated cares. At Naples and Messina, also, it acted im the same way--after mak ng 6,000 victims in a few days, when it suddenly d sapp-ared. These are phenomenas which are perfectly inexplicable.” From the East we do not receive a word of relia ble news.
