THE CRIMEA.
The Post-Amts-Zeitung publishes the following details respecting the situation of the Russians in the Crimea since the battle of Eupato-
iia, and relative to the strategic measures adopted by their Generals:— " According to the last accounts received from the Crimea, the Russians ate exerting every verve to repair the evil done them by the occupation of Eupatoria by the Turks. A second attack upon Eupatoria is shortly expected. A Russian camp is being established at OrtaOblau ; it will consist, it is said, of 40,000 men. who will form a corps of observation opposed to the troopb at Eupatoria, and will be intrusted with, the operations against that town. The Turks are fortifying themselves on all points, even on the side of the Lake of Sasik, on which side, however, it is difficult to attack them. "The tongue of land situated between that lake and the sea has likewise been provided with new works, and it is absolutely impossible to approach on that side, more especially as it is defended by the fleet; but the fortifications of the north and north-west of the town are the most considerable. "To prevent the Turks annoying the reinforcements coming from Perekop, the Russians have established moving columns in the vicinity of Eupatoria, who immediately give the alarm on any movement. During the bad weather a portion of the Russian army found shelter in the villages in the interior of the Crimea. The Russian outposts of the valley of Baidar, which are near Kamara, have fallen back on Karlowka. and are in communication with the main body at Tchorgoun. Liprandi is & chevalon the Inkermann road, having his centre at Tchorgoun and his left wing in the valley of Baidar. His right wing touches the corps of G-enpral OstenSacken, which extends from the Inkermann ruins to the northern forts. "The garrison of Sebastopol is at least 40,000 strong, and 20,000 men are concentrated near Bakshiserai, to cover the Perekop road or hasten to the assistance of any point menaced. Three divisions watch Eupatoria, whose duty it is to paralyze any operation attempted by the Turks against Sebastopol."
