FOREIGN NEWS.

The English and French journals received by the Union contain further important details respecting the expedition against the Crimea. The allied forces landed, it appears, to the south of Eupatoria, and 20 miles nearer to Sevastopol than was at first reported. The landing was at Old Fort in lat. 45°, only 60 miles distant from the Russian stronghold. Before the night of the 14th, the Commanders-in-Chief had succeeded in landing all their infantry and a part of their artillery. On the 12th, the swell on shore considerably impeded operations, but some progress was made, supported by a division of the fleet under Sir E. Lyons. On the 16th the disembarkation of horses and baggage was proceeded with with the utmost rapidity. The siege train and heavy baggage would not probably be landed at Old Fort, but was to be carried by the fleet to some place nearer to Sevastopol, where they could be landed under the protection of the army, and thus save the fatigue and difficulty in conveyance by land. The army was to remain in position at Old Fort till the 18th, when the troops were to march along the coast road on Sevastopol in the vicinity of which it was expected they would arrive about the 20th. The health of the troops was excellent.

The Paris Siècle says that Prince Menchikoff will await the attack of the allied troops in the intrenched camp which protects Sevastopol. Should the camp be taken, the town will be defenseless, and the old Prince will himself set fire to it in fulfillment of the resolution announced in his proclamation. Having done this he will assume the command of the fleet and risk a naval battle, not with the hope of success, but in the expectation of a glorious disaster.

Accounts from the Baltic state that it is nearly certain orders had been received from England for the bombardment of Reval before the return of the fleets.

The German papers mention a rumor from Bucharest of great importance, if true, viz., that the Russians had not only not evacuated Galatz, but that the corps of Gen. Luders, 60,000 strong, had recrossed the Danube and entered the Dobrodja. Letters from Matchin also state that place had been occupied again by the Russians, who were determined to try a coup de main against Varna.

The Viceroy of Egypt has given orders to dispatch 10,000 additional troops, with a corresponding force of artillery, to take part in the war in the East.

An official bulletin communicated to the Ambassadors at Constantinople, and dated from the bivouac at Old Fort on the 16th, announces that the allies had intended the next day to attack an intrenched camp of 10,000 Russians posted in the direction of Sevastopol, but that the camp had been raised in the night, and the Russians fell back upon the town.

Twelve thousand Tartars had offered themselves to the allies as volunteers, and their services were accepted.

SPAIN.—Renewed disturbances are feared at Madrid, but as yet there has been no open outbreak.

THE SIEGE OF SEVASTOPOL.

It is confirmed that on the 13th Sept. Eupatoria was occupied without opposition by 2,000 Turks, 1,000 French and 1,000 English troops. The Russian garrison, numbering 400, surrendered at discretion. The advance guard was under command of Prince Napoleon. On the 14th the main army landed, unopposed, half-way between Eupatoria and Sevastopol—horses, artillery and munitions—all safely. The Russians retired in good order as the allies landed.

Menchikoff, who had his head-quarters at Simpheropol, immediately advanced to Burliuck, on the River Alma, where he awaits re-enforcements to give battle to the allies.

It was confidently stated on the Paris Bourse that on the 19th the allies and Russians met and a battle ensued. The French came first into action, the English soon came up, and the Russians retired with much loss. If true, this occurring on the 19th could only have been skirmishing—not a battle between the main armies.

The Russian Embassy at Vienna had received a dispatch dated the 22d from the Crimea, but all that had transpired was that it contained news unfavorable to the Russians.

The latest dates from the Crimea (certain) is the 19th, when the allies held the road from Cape Baba to Simpheropol. It was intended to cross the Alma on the 19th, but Marshal St. Arnaud had telegraphed to Paris that there was an unavoidable delay of two days—cause not stated—which would prevent them marching till the 21st.

Fifteen sail-of-the-line were off Sevastopol. A Russian courier who had been captured, stated that the whole Russian force was only 45,000.

Russian accounts of the 19th say that Gen. Canrobert had a fortified position at Eupatoria, and that the main body of the allies was on a small river north of a parallel with the River Alma. Thirty thousand Russians were posted at the latter point, but with insufficient artillery.

Admiral Lyon's squadron, with 100 transports, had left the Crimea to fetch the reserve.

Baron Hess, the Austrian General, arrived at Bucharest on the 23d Sept., and was received with distinction by Omer Pasha.

THE BALTIC.—News of the bombardment of Reval was daily expected, but the English press consider it would be impolitic at this late season, in the absence of the French fleet. At last accounts the larger portion of the fleet was at Ledsund, but the British would shortly leave for Baro Sound or Nargen. Admiral Plumridge's squadron was at Nargen.

Postscript from Bro. Stephenson.

By Joseph M. Stephenson

P. S. The Review, No. 7, has just come to hand, and I see you have made a mistake and published a continuation of third division of the subject, first. You should have commenced with No. III on the first page, instead of the second column of page 50, bottom; and then commence the first part where this terminates, page 51, and all would be harmonious.

A Pagination Mistake

By Editor

We much regret this mistake. It would have been prevented

1. If the manuscript of the subject entire had been paged consecutively, instead of each parcel commencing with the lowest number.

2. If we had paged it consecutively as each parcel was received.—Ed.

Stoddard and Springfield Tent Meetings.

By F. Wheeler, J. Hart, E. Everts

At the Tent Meeting in Stoddard N. H., Sept. 29th to Oct. 1st, although on ground where the Advent and Sabbath truth had been kept out, and although threats of pulling down our tent had anticipated our arrival, and there was but one Sabbath-keeper in town, yet praise to our dear Lord, we had good congregations, and order. The tent stood safe each night, one fourth mile from any house, while we slept quietly in the house. A good impression was made on many, and a mass of prejudice removed; and dear Bro. Dodge (on whose hospitality and farm we held the meeting) embraced the Sabbath, and was, with his dear companion, and mother from Vt., baptized in the likeness of the burial and resurrection of our dear Lord. May the Lord reward them for such kindness to us shown.

Oct. 6th, we pitched the tent in the large, busy city of Springfield, Mass., on a beautiful common in the very heart of the city, where the circus had just performed and paid $60.00 for use of ground; but it was given free to us. The R. R. Co. gave us free benches, and the Police, unasked and unpaid, watched the tent and the great gathering from 300-400, the first evening, to some 1200 on First-day and evening, while the most respectable of the city listened with deep interest. Some would say, "I should like to see what the clergy could do with that, it is truth." Quite a number, we cannot tell how many, confessed the seventh day to be the Sabbath. The weather was so warm, that with curtain up it was quite comfortable.

The Lord’s Promise to His Remnant

By Editor

This reminds us of the testimony of the Prophet: "The Lord said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant, verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction." Jer. xv, 11—Ed.
