The French troops will occupy the fort, but a small body of English willbe left to guard the flag which waves along with the tricolour from | its ramparts, and the task of its defence will be shared bya powerful English squadron with our allies, worked with extraordinary energy to repair the place. All the curtaips are rebuilt, the ruins cleared away, the damaged guns removed, apd the ships’ guns put in their place; the south-eastera gateway filled up, and its approaches covered hy a strong ravelin ; the crest of the parapets repaired solidly and well with fascines and earthwork, the Russian guns rendered efficient, the casemates cleared out and filled with stores or adapted as barrack, and the interior buildings in | course of reconstruction and renovation. The batteries on | the Spit are to be destroyed, and that process is easily effected | by removing the massive beams which support the sand and | few gabions used in their construction, The reconnaissance | which started the week before last did very little, except burn | all the stores and houses which could render service to the | enemy for seven or eight miles towards Kherson, The rafts | are safe off Kinburn, aod they are no insignificant prize just | at this moment, when sach efforts are being made to put the) Bug in a state of defence.

Their dimensions are as follows :—The first is (420 feet long by 3 feet wide, and is 6 feet deep. The second is nearly the same length as the first, is 54 feet broad and grounded in 8 feet water. At a rough calculation the two rafts contain 90,000 cubic feet of the finest timber, and the present made by the English fleet to the French, through our Commander-in-Chief, cannot be estimated at a lower value than £20,000; at least, if the timber wag in England, it would be well worth the money,

Our allies are not very communicative on such matters. The Russians evidently conclyded that they had blown up one of) ‘the magazines of the mortar battery behind Fort Nichoias, ‘not far from which the column of smoke which followed the explosion appeared to rise, for during the remainder of the day they concentrated a heavy shelling fire in that direction.

DESPATCH FROM GENERAL CODRINGTON.

Codrington, dated Noy. 16 :— ‘‘A very heavy explosion of a store of powder at a French ‘siege train took place about 3 p. m. yesterday. it communi | | cated fire to our siege train, close to it, where there was no powder, but some naval live shells, most of which were re- | moved ; bat the loss of life and damage done is considerable. 'The great explosion threw sheli over the camp of our siege train, and the huts of the Ist Brigade, being entirely damaged, but not by fire. All officers and men were on the spot at once, ‘and worked with good wiil and energy, and I saw all safe | \when I quitted at 7 p. m.—Killed: Deputy-Assistant Com- |missary Yellou, R.

| The expedition to Kaffa remains somewhat of a mystery, but | though no grand battle can be fought during the winter, the | | Russians will not be suffered to retain tranquil possession of | ‘whatever places they may still hold on the sea-coast of the | Crimea. f one may judge from the following letter from

The French soldiers then | showed their bread and coffee, and the Russians their gourds | of brandy, and then with common accord they advanced to- wards each other, without arms, and took their coffee and | brandy together. It appears that this kind of recreation weit on for some time without the knowledge of the French | ‘and Russian officers.

This last. — uamed intelligence is rather confirmatory of the fact of a

great battle baving been fought at the point mentioned, —

which is on the road through which Omar Pacha and bis troops would have to pass on their way to the relief of Kars. _ The fear sometime ago was, that the season was too far ad- vaneed to enable Omar Pacha to complete his enterprise ; but if the intelligence which has now come to hand be con- firmed, the position of the Russians in the trans-Caucasian provinces will be eyen more critieal than in the Crimea, With a powerful garrison at Kars, flushed by the great vic-. tory which it secured a couple of months back, under Gen, Williams, ready to march out on the instant, and with the” Turks under Omar Pacha in their rear, the Russian situ- ation in Asia Minor must be eritical, if not desperate. The details are too meagre to enable us to conjecture eveutu- alities, but enough has transpired to prove that it will require a}l the skill which Mouravieff, the abjest ofthe Russian generals, is said to possess, to get out of the trap in which he ig placed. The allies are reportel to have applied to the Shah of Persia for leave to march an Anglo-Indian army through his territory into Asiatic Turkey, but, assuming the correctness of this battle and victory of the pass of Ingour, the principal work will be consummated before its arrival. The Shah of Persia is not a very reliable personage; but as

‘the fortune of war is against the Czar and his troops, he is

far more likely to concede thau to refuse the request,

We hear, says the writer, that the Emperor is highly satisfied with the state of the army in the Crimea, and that he has given Gortschakoff orders to hold his positions, but not by any means to attack the allies until the spring army is at hand.

CONGRESS OF RUSSIAN DIPLOMATISTS.

The Baron de Budberg, the Russian Minister to the Pras sian Court, is preparing to pay a visit to St. Petersburg. Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian Ambassador at Vienna, is also on the eve“of departure for the Russian capital. It is believed that the reunion of Russian diplomatists, that was to have taken place at Warsaw, is now fixed for St. Poters- burg. The schools of naval instructions at Nicolaieff are to have an increased numbe: of pupils, and six new batallions of Marines are to be formed, so as to replace the crews of the Jate Russian fleet of the Black Sea. he arrival of Count Coronjiai at Vienna leaves little doubt that the Danubian Pri: cipalities are about to become the object both of diplomatio and military operations. 1
