By the prevent mail I havo little to add respecting the expedition to theCrimea. Detsils continue to pour ia from al! aces of the battle of tho Alma. The oc>upation @f the port of Balaklava by the alliss was followed by the lending of their siege artille:y and cavalry, and 12,000 Bayptian auxiliaries are expected to have already arrived there. Reinforcements are doing sent from France, Kug_ yand and Turkey. The Erg!ish division, and a portion cy the French division in Greece, are on their way (probably now arrived) to the Oimea. On th» cther hand, the Emperor of Rursis is advancing large bodies of troops to the south, and when Febastopo! ras fallen there will be more fghting in store Prince Menschikoff 1s so enraged and Cisappointed at his cefeat that he is said to have attempted suicide Geners! Osten Yacken will, itis anid, mucoced him. A Prince Gortecbakeff commands at Odessa The bombardment of Sebastopol is reported on the faith of private telegraphic despatches from Vienns, to have commenced on the 4th October, at5 A.M. It is even said that cn the 6:h two breaches had been made in the Quarantine fort. This is very probably true, but re- quires officia! confirmation. ‘hs correspondents of the Lenaen journals date their correspondence from the heights above Eebastopol. No defence was made by the Russians on the river Ks tcha, though the position offerad advantages little inferior to those of the Alma. On the Ath September some of the French steamers threw shells into Fort Consiantine, which replied in good style, without, however, doing any camage. Om the 28th, a Russian column issued forth from Se- Dastapcl, and the 4th division, under Sir George Cath- cart, advanced to meet it. The Russians then withdrew, with an evident view to entice the English under the range of their heavy guns, but Sir George was not t> be Caught in tne trap. In the evening dense smoke and flames wore visible in Sebastopol. The Russians were burning their stores. The whole town and forts are vi- sible from the quarters of the 4th division. The forts are deseribei as most formiiab’e, but are dominated by the Position taken by the allies. There exists some doubt aa to the actual whereabouts of Prince Menschikoff. Deserters report him to have left Sebastopol, with 20,000 men, to await reinforcements at Bakchi Svrai. Another version says he is at Yebastopol. all the vos- sels in the harbor, liners and frignies, are ready to be @unk ata moment’snotice Orders have been issued by the authorities in London for the enginesrs who are ex- pert drivers, to embark immediately for the east to help im getting up the guns, &c. Tne confidence that Sebas- topol must fall is untvereal. According to letters from Constantinople there is a want of medical mea and hospital attendance. The government is, h:wever, very active in supplying every waat. Next mail will, in all probability, bring you details of the bombardment. Lord Ragian has beea confirmed in his post as com- mander-in-chief of the allied armies. General Canrodert takes chiet command cf the Freach division. The death of Marshal St. Arsaud is much deplored, though Caurobert is, perhaps, the bast wan of the two. ‘The effect of the victory of the Alma is beginning to be sensibly feltin Germany. Austria is coming more pro- minently ferward. In my last, I mentioned simply that aS rupture wes imminent between Austria and Prussia. Uniden date of September 20, sustria addressed a very strong note to the Cabinet of Berlin to the effect that it should make proporitions to the Federal Diet to de mand the support of the con‘ede ration on the four polats demanded as guarantees from Kuseia. This Austrian mote hss made a great sensetion in Germany, and va- thous Cabinet Councils havs been held at Berlin on the @ubject. Baron Monteuffel is said to have tendered his Yesigeation on Frijay last; but at the King’s request withdrew it. You may rely upon the following letier giv- ing you a true version of the situation:— Brauin, Oct. 10, 1854 Thear that the Cabinet of Berlin at fist hesitated as to whether it ought to give a reply to the note of the Vienna Cabinet of the Suth uit. it was thooght that it ‘would be better not to reply, as it was clear [t would pot alter the line of policy of Austria, and that » Bipheey Sypae the views of the Prussian Cabinet it easily appear calculated to exercise too stroag an uence upon the other German states. It was, how- ever, tinally decided that « reply should be made Ina * few days it will leave Berlio ihe Austrian note of the ‘30th September, in rep’y to the Prucsian noje of the 2lst, however, is not the only or the most energetic of the @ommunications of the Cabinet cf Vienna. ere exists ® olreular dated the let of Uctober, addrevsed to the German governments, acrompenied by an exposé of the position or Austria towards the be. rent powers, and @ note bearing also the date of the let of Uctober, by which the Austrian Minister at Berlin has instructions to communicate that circular to the Cabicet of Berlin, te ave no doubts to the latier as to the maoner in which Austria pronounces herself vis-d-vis with her Ger- man confederates Ali these documents are, I am told, very curious. They prove that Austria regards hostili- ties with Kussis as ‘mminent, and thst she no longer entertairs the idea of foliowing @ policy of neutrality. It becomes, moreover, caily clearer that the propositions of Austris will not have a If Austria, however, has not majority in the Diet, she hes at least in her favor the majority of the sympa- thies of the people, which are all against Russia; more- ‘ever, assisted by the Western Powers she would be too formidable @ foe for Prussia.

It is fortunate tha: the exact | source of these expressions is not known, for as it | ig, they have already given considerable umbrage. | The Times is so universally looked upon as a great | government ren and, at the same time, as such a |. literal echo of the English popolar voice, thit every | word which falls from it is of greater weigut than that of the Monitcur. At the same time, ali admit the account to be a most graphic representatioa.and a all probability as correct a one as any that will be iven. * The moment the landing was completed, Mr. D> lane hastened to Marseilles, where, leaviag his yacht, he at once took the railto Paris, which he reached late on the 29th of September. The next morning (Saturday) he posted to hia corraspondent’s office, inthe Rue Lepetsier, and related how and what he had seen, and all the high hopes he founded on a begiening so auspicious and skilful; from thence he went to the English Ambassador's, Lord Cowley, and secured an invitation to inner, where for the present we will leave him. Meanwhile, early on Spr ee Thee lst of Oct., the Times’ corsen tenant suddenly roused from his slumbers by the intelligence that a Roman Catt olic priest is desirous of seeing him on business of the greatest ice. A good correspondent and he is superlatively so—is always on the gui vive. As though be were about to make confessioa and receive absolution, he, therefore, made way for, | and received the holy messenger by his bedside. The priest drew from bis pocket a letter containing | the words, “From authority which cannot be dis- uted, I tell you Sebastopol is taken;”’ “I send this intelligence by one of our fraternity, to avoid the possibility of delay.” In the shortest possible riod of time the worthy correspondent was on foot, | in search of his editor, who he kuew on that day was to return to Evgland. On reaching his hotel all he could learn was, that he was not at horhe, but that he niles be met with at the railway at half-past eleven. Having, therefore, time on his hands, Sa day being a day of rest in Printing House square, the correspondent started off to the Turkish Em- bassy, to inquire whether anything had been re- ceived there which could confirm sach impor tant information. Toe Turkish Ambassador laid aside his meerschaum, and immediately put into his hands a dispatch from Omer Pasha, of which he hed only an hour before b:oken the seal. The first words that met his eye were, “Sebastopol est prise. The news is absolutely true; I know it from a source which I can faithfally rely upon; the details Iam yet ignorant of; Iam aiready moving amy.” After this, away faster than ever flew the corresponcent to find his chief at the railway station. What newer! was the mutaal ex- clsmation on seeing caca other, Sebastopol is— taken, interrupted the editor. l know what you woula ray. I j en Lord Co: aay who bab received the news from Vienna, and who, moreover, has told me the very day on which it o curred— namely, the 25th.

To doubt any longer, therefore, seemed absurd; though, thronghout, the easy correspondent kept a loop nole of “bu's” and “ifs” in his communications; when, on Monday, the gursefthe Invalides remained dumb, and on {ces day made no sign, and oa Wednesisy still were speechlces—when all tne officers of Paris, from that of the Minister of Foreign Affairs downwards, seemed more full of anxiety to inquire than of ability to answer, then the correspondent te and spendthrift lioutenant—the captain whoescaped | s second expulsion from the army, thanks to the {ater. cession of Badeau and the indulgence of Ruilitre—the colonel xecused, as Cava‘gnac's successor in command of tho sub-division of Orlesnsville, of emulating the ra- pacity and luxury of an old Roman pro consul—the author of garconading [reports of his own exploits in | the valley of the Chéliff, that provoked the ssrcasm of even his patron, Marshal Bageaud, the ex jailer of the | Duchess de Berri, but did cot prevent, however, his at- | taining the grade of brigadier general, and finally, the general who hastened, after the revolution of February, to offer his snord to the republic and on the second of December drew the same sword against the republic, wivning by this last act untold gold anda marshal’s staff from the Prince President, snd for Lim the throne ef an Emperor? Who shall penetrate the mystery of the spell which Marshal de St Arnaud exercised to the last over his imperial associate? Who shall prove or @isprove the whispered su: picion that his death has re- sulted from the wound inflicted on him by Ger.

While his fellow joarnalists caught up at once the ramor of the fall of Sebastopol, he ‘was content to say, ‘A despatch has been communicated to us to-n'ght announcing that good news has arrived from the theatre of war.” Sureiy, so frigid a version wae non- committal enough, and could throw no reader into a fever. The prudent reserve of this provincial journalist has been widely imitated since the ‘good news’? was offi” cially contradicted. Several journals have obstinately refused to credit the death of Marshal de Saint Arnsud until the Momiteur had announced it. Two have alto- on the battle of the Alms, and specu’ations upon the more or less distant capture cf Sebastopol; they are La Guycnne, “one horse chestnut tree whose magnificent pyramidal blossoms are fully opened, and others, whose buds are swollen asin spring.

The death of Marshal St. Arnaud, from natural causes, ‘in the arms of victory,.and at a moment when a career of unexampled success seemed to make life dsubly dear, has thrown a shade of triste romance about his bier, and opened for him a well most glorious renown might envy. There is an innate kindness in human natare which renders it repugnant to stir the yet warm ashes of the dead. Man, conscious of his own frailty, keenly feels that at such an hour the prejadices of his own mind inca- pacitate bim from forming an unbiassed judgmeat; aud though he may, perhaps, muse over the caprice of fortune which thus surrounds with all the odor of sanctity one whom a casual turn of its wheel might bave exposed to all manner of vituperation should be 60, Marshat St. Arnaud’s career is teo well known to require any minute recapitolation. It is suffi ient to say, that on his appointment to the Ministry of War, in 1851, some two months before the famous coup d’état, ail men but the foolish ones who should have been most on the alert, saw clearly that com- ing events were casting their shadows before them. Go where.you wou'd—into what society, into what street or market place—go wherever men were to be found collected together, and but one only senti- ment prevailed, namely, that nothing except a state of affairs on the part of the President, beyond all | measure desperate, conld justify—not could account | for such an appointment. What followed is matter of history. General St. Arnaud won his marabal’s baton in the boulevazds of Paris. It was a baton versus head, and he:won. Had he halted—had he betrsyei—hai he overestimated the fidelity of the troops, somebody: else’s head might not exactly have been where % now is. But St. Arnaud was neither traitorous nor unsuccessful, and the Prince whom on that oceasion he signally served has been bis grateful benefactor.
