THE new fact in the war-news is the nppenr . inee of the Allied fleet before Oilesfii—not the bombardment of that famous port ns we had been led to expect . It was on the 8 th instant , that they anchored off the town , but up to this time we have no news of their progress . This is not , perhaps , difficult to account for . It was by way of St . Petersburg that we received the first intimation of the movement of the fleet . The tele- ; graph which connects the Crimea with continental liurope is at some distance from the scene of j action . A ship must be sent with the new . " , either to Kamicsch or Varna ; but it is not pro '' able that the Admiral will send u ship to report progress until some progress be inmle . No doubt the Russians would inform us in duo time should j any disaster befal them , but we cannot expect them to be in nny hurry about it . Should they beat oft ' the fleet , or should the fleet sail away , ru inferta , no doubt the Russians would hasten , with all possible speed , to inform us of the fact . Excepting this movement on Odessa , we have nothing positively new to record respecting the war . Hut this naval expedition may be viewed as a diversion in aid of ( he military operations in the Crimea . These operations , so far as they are obvious , are , the strengthening of the garrison of Kerlch ; a strong movement from Uaidar , the right of the . Allies , directed apparently ngninst tho Russian loft ; the bombardment of the north wide from tho south side ; and the occupation of Kiiputoria in force—the first fruits of which wore the defeat of tho Russian cavalry , and the capture of six guns and some scores of prisoners , by tho French dragoons under 1 ) 'Au , o . nvm . i . k , and a new movement on the l'erokop road . From this it would appear that no attempt i . s to be mado on tho Russian front , but that an efl ' ort i . s to i ! ! I j I
¦ be made to turn their flank simultaneously witl threatened operations in the rear . It is satisfactory to see that the British army is in an excellent state of health . The latest returns of Dr . Hall show a considerable diminution in the number of hospital cases . It is also sat ; sfactory to find that not only the French in the valley of Baidar , but the Sardinians and the English on other points of the position , are busily engaged in making roads and preparing for the contingency of another winter in the Crimea . Little can be said respecting the war in Asia . The arrival of Omar Pacha , with 15 , 000 or 20 , 000 men , at Batoum , with a view of relieving Kars , is confirmed ; but the state of Kars is growing desperate ; provisions are scarce within the town , and the incessant activity of General Mouravieff on all riides prevents the arrival of supplies . Tho ' tjuestiun , therefore , is whether Om . vk Pacha can ! arrive in time to be of any use ; whether the garrison can hold out until the winter ; or , should they ilo so , whether even then the Rus / ians will ' abandon the chance of reducing the place by fa-nine . On the subjects tho dat . i arc too slight for any one to form a just opinion . After the battle , the honours ; but the remarkable f : u : t in the open-handed distribution of honours that has taken place is , that the victory and the reward do not always coincide . ( . Jraml Crosses of the Legion of Honour naturally fall on Pkussiich , and may , by compliment , go to SiMrsos ; lor France is not his country , and to the Kmpkrok , in some degree , he represents Kngland . Tho Grand Cross of the Bath goes to Pkmssiek , for lie first gained a victory for England as well as France , but why to Simpson ? He assisted , it is true ; lie sat anil looked on ; he did his duty , and thore is nothing at present to show that he neglected anything which he ought to have performed . The movement allotted to him , in fact , did not succeed , but he may have an excuse for that . "Wo await it ; yet we are astounded when we hear that he is elevated along with the highest and most sm . cos .-ful . No , not the hig hest , he is not made a Marshal ; but as France , makes one Marshal for tho Malakholl " , so Kngland makes three fur the Redan ; only , as routine will not peiinit dashing Colonel Winimiam to have the baton over Simpson ' s head , the rewards for the victory which was not one nt the Redan must be given to somebody else , and so they go to ComliicitMtiUu , Stuaitoui ) , and H . vuoiNcai : ; and as the one Marshal which France has made is well ,
l balanced by the three Marshals which Englant has made , we need not be ashamed of the fina i result . Some of the minor officers , also , will have i rewards ; numbers have been mentioned , a largt proportion of them staff—men usually who have hig h connexions , or can win their way to favour . Some loO badges of C . B . have been ordered , and they will of course be scut out to the 12 G officers who have been mentioned . It is true that this list does not comprise all the . officers who were killed and wounded , but rewards must stop somewhere i and if a man has not merit enough to get upon the stall " , or connexion enough , he must see his betters carry oiF the C . B . which he has earned . France has advertised to all whom , it may concern that she—that is the Emperor—does not | intend to enter into partnership with Neapolitan 1 revolutionists , but that h ^ is contemplating the j establishment of his family among the orderly j dynasties whose rule it is not to interfere w 'h each other . A formal statement in the Monitcur announced that the Government does not sanction the circulation of " a certain letter . "—meaning the letter of Prince Lucikn Mubat ; for that the Kmimuioh ' s conduct has always been " loyal towards the governments of foreign states . France indeed has had some quarrels to pick with Naples , but they are such as monarch may pick with monarch , regulated by the rules of public law , heralds , courts-martial , and diplomacy , and not at all by such law as public opinion or the judg ment of common people . King Bomba may be the most oppressive tyrant in the world ; he may shake upon his throne from the indignation of his people ; he may be suborning the lazz . ironi of the Bay of Naples—playing at once the tyrant and demagogue ; but ail this is nothing to Natolkon , avIioso business it has not been in Italy , any more than in France , to identify himself with any popular or republican institutions . On the contrary , if Naples will apologise and nut meddle with his gunpowder or sulphur , or oilicijil representatives , Napoleon will not nieiMJo with FnKDiNAKi ) ; will not patronize Mi-kat , who is rather a soil sort of patriot after all ; and with the patriot he certainly will not enter into partnership at Naples any more than at Ko . no Such aoomd to be the ell'oct of tho formal advertisement m tho ^ Jloii / tctir . - / ^ '' - ' r The same authentic gnzatto also nojtfi ** -. ]*! jh < s world that the- Empress JSuuknik o : ^ tj ^ & # . , ¦ :: months hence , to give birth to a youHlffiftpoty < u& , w ^ ' ? £ k £ JiS ^ Hiv * . -
