POSTSCRIPT.
"We are at length in a condition to present to the public something more than speculations and surmises on the movements of the Allied armies in the East. About the time we write, if not on this very day, a force made up of English, French, and Turks, and amounting to between 80,000 and 100,000 men, will invade the Crimea, and attempt to effect a lodgment on the heights commanding the hitrbour of Sebastopol. The preparations have been some time in progress, and the rumoured visit of Generale Brown. and Canrobert to the Circassian coast with 5000 men was really to secure a land- ing on the Crimea."
The telegraphic despatches of the morning give the latest rumours from various parts.
"Paris, Friday Evening.—The 2foniteur contains the following from Bucharest, dated July 29. 'The complete evacuation of Bucharest will take place the day after tomorrow. All officers or soldiers who remain behind will be considered as deserters. The Russian President Plenipotentiary, Baron Budberg, leaves Bucharest tomorrow for Fokschani. The Russian troops are being concentrated on the Sereth : there is no question as to their evacuating Moldavia.'" "Vienna, Friday Evening.—The reply of the French Government to the Austrian note arrived last night, when the English and French Ministers officially communicated to Count Buol the unconditional rejection of the Russian propositions by France and England. The Vienna Conference has met today, and will meet again tomorrow. It is believed that Austria will simply notify to Russia her intentions, and then enter Moldavia.
