WHIN the late Emperor of Russia visited England some twenty years ago, it was said that he asked to be shown some of those wonderful British troops that bad done such great things in India. Usl had witnessed the Household Cavalry brigaded at Wormwood Scrubs, been present at a review of the Foot-Guards in Hyde-park, and seen the wak ing of a crack Hussar regiment at Brighton. But this did not satisfy him. He admired greatly the black horses, the shining cuirasses, the costly helmets, the big boots, and the gigantic pro portions of our mounted sons of Au* ; and, being himself a soldier, he could not but praise the manly bearing, splendid drill, and solid marching of the Grenadiers, Coldatreams, and Scotch Fusiliers. But experience and military knowledge taught him these were our show troops. It was impos sible that we could use picked men like theme in our d:stant wars, to reach the amine of which was a journey of months from the mother country. The EMPFROR had no doubt read of the deeds done by Englishmen in the East, and in those days our campaigns in Affighanistan were fresh in everyone's memory, as were the sieges of Guznie and Khelat, and the battles of Funnier and Maharajpore, at which latter that slashing old warrior, Lord Govan, fought and conquered trained native males which exceeded his own forces by four or five to one. And having beard of these fights, and of the men who fought them, it was not surprising that the exalt should ask to ase some of those famous British line troops by wham qe llantry we had acquired and held our vast Indian Empre. I The sight that was desired by the Emperor of Russis will to-morrow be accorded to our French friends who are now visiting us at Portsmouth. At the military review which will take place on Southsea-common, our guests will see a fair speci men of what British troops of the line are at the present time. Of the Royal Engineers or Royal Artillery it is almost unnecessary to speak, for their fame and excellences known throughout the military world ; and although in each corps there have, since the siege of Sebastopol, been intro duoed many improvements in dress, arms, and accoutrements, it is said that even in the Crimea both these branches of the service were cor dially admired by our allies. The Royal Marine Light Infantry and the Royal Marine Artillery will be something quite new to our guests. In the French navy there are no soldier-sailors ; all the sentry duties and other work which in English ships i is doze by our Marines being in the French service performed by the " blue jackets." The French I Marine Infantry is a purely military corps, whose duties are confined to the government seaports! abroad and at home, to guarding stores, and such like, and to performing garrison work in distant colonies. If the men of this corps go afloat, they do so merely as other troops might do, when passengers to foreign countries. But a special marine corps—one that does the work our marines do on board ship—the French have none, and the sight of our Portsmouth divi sion of Marines will certainly be • novelty to them. The same may be said of our Marine Artillery. In the French navy all the gunnery and artillery duty is done by the sailors—there is no special corps for this duty afloat. The English Marine Artillery is a regiment of which we may well feel proud, and which our guests will certainly admire at the Southsea review to-morrow. In both our Marine Infantry and Marine Artillery the soldiers are sturdy and well-knit men. Their pecu'.iar training, and the fact of almost every one amongst them having served in foreign climates, gives them • bronzed and veteran look, which is seldom seen amongst troops composed of comparatively young men. The years they spend on board ship also add greatly to their health and stamina—so much so, that in a physical point of view it is almost impossible to see finer corps than these soldiers on land and sailors at sea. Besides the Marines, Marine Artillery, Royal Engineers, and Royal Artillery, there will be present to-mor row, the 14th, 52nd, 81st, and 87th Regimen* and a part of the 75th, all of which bear on their colours not a few names of places where they have done their duty in hard battles or wearying campaigns, and most of which have seen no small amount of service in that Indian empire which is such a source of wonder to other European na tions. Before a corps could earn such honours as are implied in the words "Bhurtpore," "Hin e dostan," " Delhi," " Maids," and " Ave," it must. have seen not a little hard work to the east ward of the Cape. But it is a coincidence not unworthy of remark that these regiments of the line that will parade to-morrow before our French visitors have all taken part in suppressing the great Indian mutiny ; and to learn the recent doings of these corps we have only to tern to the accounts written of that mighty campaign—or rather that series of wonderful campaigns—of which it may be said that the discipline, morale, endurance, and courage of troops were never more tried in the history of the world. These men, these troops, form the mainstay of the i English army. It is not too much to say that to them, and to those like them, we owe the fact , of India yet forming part of the British empire. Other regiments may be more showy, other uni forms more gaudy, other men broader and of greater height ; but of our English line corps it may be fairly asserted that in all the qualities which make the hard-working, endurla. troops that if they cannot oa1111‘! numbers, conquer by their person ey second to none. For this resift;7l Zt En t lish men will rejoice that an exoelldnt averigailgadt of the working part of our limy will be e graded for the inspection of our gelientvisitore at South's's. Sim* hue army left the Crimes, the occasion s when even individual French officers have had opportunities of seeing British troops coder arms have been few and far between. Afehttgat our guests now at Portsmouth there are probably not • few who were present in the Crimea. They will see • very marked change in the clothing and accoutrements of our men since the years 1854-55. The tail coat of those days has given way to the tunic ; the tawdry white lace has disappeared ;1 the cross belts are abolished ; the high shako has been replaced by • low, well fitting headdress ; 1 the stook is reformed, if not altogether thrown away ; and, above all, old Brown Bess is dead, 'and her successor is the Enfield rifle. All these changes are in the direction of use 'fulness. The day when • military cap ciir coat was selected because it " looked " well" has passed away, and the present test by I which dress and arms are now judged is whether or not the article will improve the soldier's com fort or increase his ease when on duty. Nor should it be forgotten that to the Crimean cam paign the British Infantry is indebted for the right of wearing a moustache, formerly most unaccount. ably forbidden to all dismounted troops. In short, i we have no reason to be ashamed of the improve ments that have taken place in our army during the last ten years. That much remains to be done is true, still it is impossible not to allow that something has been already accomplished in the way of making our army efficient since we took the field with our neighbours for allies and cora -1 rade,. Will our French guests perooive these alterations? Undoubtedly they will. Just as era/ Englishman, no matter what his profes sion, calling, trade, or occupation, takes an interest in, and understands more or Ism of, all connected with horses, so every Frenchman is a born soldier. France may have—we have seen within the last few days that she has— an excellent navy ; the members of her bar are in general patterns of eloquence ; the clergy of her Inational church are mostly hard-working and I zealous ; her merchants are often enterprising traders, and her manufacturers are treading very closely in our own footsteps. But those sailors, those advocates, those priests, those men I of business, are all and every one soldiers at heart, I and can, more than any other people, appreciate I the quality of soldiers who are fit for their in- I tended work. Amongst the many sights offered I to our guests during the present week, the review on Southsea-common to-morrow will not be the least interesting to them; and it may be confidently hoped that they will leave England with a good impression of the troop* now forming the Ports mouth garrison.

His departure for Biarritz is fixed for the sth or Bth. The news from Neufchatel continues good, and the Empress will be at Fontainebleau to-morrow. To an individual who suffered a long preventive confinement, accused of the ells murders for which a monster named Manatee has lately been con demned, the Emperor has given an indemnity of 600 fr. It must have been motived by the atrocity of the unfounded accusation brought against huts, and the rigour with which the suspicion may have caused him to be treated. I f his Majesty under took to indemnify all those who are subjected to long preventive imprisonment, be would soon find bis private exchequer insufficient for his own daily wants. The functionary charged with the reading of the petitions addressed to the Emperor will probably find his work more than doubled by the precedent thus created. M. Ingres, the chief and the Nestor of the French school of painting, is alarmingly iIL His great age (he is upwards of 80) leaves little hope of his recovery. The mayor of St. Brieuc, in the department of the 06tes du Nord, bas addressed a warning to the farmers of his neighbourhood against buying English cattle. A number of agents are said to be in the oountry offering to supply these cattle. He entreats possible purchasers to beware of cheap bargains which might have so fatal a consequence as the introduction of the cattle disease into their farms. Re recommends at all events that no cattle be purchased which Dave not previously been ex- amined by a veterinary. I send you Abd-el-Kader's last. He made a speech at the freemasons' entertainment which, as coming from the mouth of a mussulman saint and warrior, has an " interest of curiosity," as they say here. In the persons here present, I thank freemasonry in every country. I consider freemasonry as the Brat institu tion in the world. Is my opinioo every man who does not profess freemasonry is an isoomplate nun. I hope that one day the principles of fraenimoory will prevail through. out the whole world, and from that day forward all the nations will be at pirate. Your readers will remember the murderous attack on M. de Balobe, secretary of the Russian em bassy, and two other persons, who were attacked in April last in the hotel of the embassy by a Russian named Nickitschenkoff. The trial came on today at the assizes of the Seine. The culprit is a little man, with very intelligent expression and the bearing of a gentleman. He seemed quite at his ease. He stated that he was the son of a retired captain in the Russian service, in which be himself also was till he resigned in 1863, for personal motives which he refused to explain. After living some time at home he came abroad, aa he says, in hopes of getting employment in a commercial house, but the route he took was a long one, as he travelled through Turkey, Palestine, and Egypt, on his way to Marseilles, thence he came to Paris, went to London, where he was on the 15th of April, and then returned here to commit the crime he was accused of on the 24th of that month. He acknowledged that in going to the embassy to ask for funds he was resolved to attack anyone whom be saw if he were refused. On M. de Balche's refusal to assist him he inflicted five wounds, of such gravity that for a fort night his life was despaired of. Not content with this be gave six wounds with his poniard the usher who same to the assistance of M. de Baiche, and also wounded the coachman who came to secure him. The facts were clearly proved, the motives, if any, beyond mere des peration, were not ascertained. He was found guilty and condemned to tramez forces d perpfteatii, the galleys for life. The Bourse is still bouyant. To-morrow, being the last of the month, is the day when the final battle will be fought between "bulls" and "bears." Rents 68fr. 62c., a rise of sc.
