Mr. Morse has still a portion of his time to serve as a Lieutenant, and therefore he will only take brevet rank.

A Cabinet Council will be held. at the. Foreign Office on Tuesday.— Globe.

The telegraphic despatches of the morning which report news respect- ing the Crimea are chiefly from. German tenures.

" Vienna, Oct. 13.—A despatch from Lord Raglan, of the 6th, announces that the works for the siege of Sebastopol are so far advanced as to give assurance that fire will be opened in few days.

"3p. tn.—It is confidently asserted that the Allies have pushed their ad- vances to within 1200 yards of the place. There is a rumour that the Prince of Prussia may be expected here shortly. The movement of the Russian Imperial Guard upon Poland still continues. The Gazette des Posies says that the arrivalof the equipages of the Emperor Nicholas at Warsaw is daily looked for. The report of the arrival of 15,000 Russians in the Crimea re- mains without confirmation."

"Berlin, Friday.—The following Russian official despatch was published in St. Petersburg on the 11th. Nothing fresh had occurred before Sebas- topol up to the 6th. Prince Mensehikoff still retained his old position on the North, side.' " " Vienna, October 12.—Accordingto intelligence from Odessa, extending to the 7th, Prince Menschikoffs. right wing was at Bakchi-aarai, his left wing at Alnelitm and his centre at Simferopol. "

"Marseilles, Friday Evening.—A telegraphic despatch has been received here from Constantinople, dated the 4th instant, by. which we learn that Gortschakoffi at the head of the fourth division, was at Perekop."

"Paris, .Friday. —A Vienna despatch states.that the bombardment of Se- bastopol began on the 5th, and that in twenty-four hours two breaches were made in one of the principal forts." " Dantzic, Friday, Oct. 13.—The Basilisk has arrived. She left the fleet at Nargen on the 10th. It was to sail next day for IlieL Nothing new. There is bad weather in the Baltic."

" Copenhagen, Friday, Oct. 13.—The Swedish Government steamer. Gylfe, returning from Norland, was totally wrecked on.the 5th instant, near Ore- frundsgripet The crew were saved."

The naval squadron now in the Baltic consists of the screw and paddle steamers, The British sailing-ships and-the French division of the fleet are on their way home. It is therefore surmised, with some confidence, that the Baltic campaign is now at an end.

The Austrian Correspondence publishes a despatch from. Bucharest, dated October 7, purporting to be "official," stating that, "according to authentic intelligence received there from the Crimea, between the 27th and 29th ultimo, 120 pieces of siege artillery had been planted on the heights commanding Sebastopol from the South ; and further, that the Allied fleets had quitted Katacha Bay, and gone- to Balaclava." The Autograph Correspondence adds thereto, that "the bombardment of Se- bastopol had actually begun on the 4th instant at five o'clock."

Advices from Odessa, of the 3d and 5th instant, state that General Osten-Sacken has received the command-in-chief of the Russian forces in the Crimea, and that Prince Mensohikoff has received orders to confine his command to the defence of Sebastopol. It is also stated that Prince Gortachakoff succeeds General Osten-Sacken at Odessa.

It is reported that 3000 Egyptian cavalry were to join the Allies at Balaclava on the 6th; that 4000 men of the Egyptian artillery will be transported from Alexandria ; and that the Egyptian and Tunisian troops reinforcing the Allies amount to 12,000 men.

A letter from Constantinople, of. the 28th September, in the Prase of Vienna, says-

It is composed of Ali Pasha, formerly Governor of Broussa, and ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs • Mehemet Rouschdi Effendi, Aide-de-camp of the Sultan ; Ward Pasha, ex-Minister of Foreign. Affairs and President of the Grand Council ; Fuad Effendi, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs; Hifzi Pasha, and Ruschdi Mollah. Some surprise was expressed at there not being any Christian on the list The Grand Vizier replied, that the Commission had only been named to reform abuses, but that when the creation of new in- stitutions should come under consideration, Christians would be called on to take part."

The Emperor and Empress of the French travelled from Paris to Amiens on Thursday, to attend a Te De= performed in the Cathe- dral for the battle of the Alma. In the evening they returned to Paris.
