THE CAMP OF THE Tt:ltecris.—A letter from Genoa of
the lat., in the niecle, says :—" I yesterday visited the
camp of the Turco'. It is pitched in one of those
pretty spots which appear like an earthly paradise, in
the valley of Polcevera. This valley, which is reached
after passing through the suburb of Saii-Pier-d'Arena,
which contains sonic palaces not less splendid than those
in Genoa, is hemmed in by four small hills covered with
orange, lemon, pomegranate trees, and cacti. The
Tomos are a very fine specimen of the Arab race; some
of the native officers in particular are in spite of their
dark skins, remarkable for their regular features. The
white turban is admirably suited to their energetic
beads, and they wear with ease and grace the large
jacket and the wide trousers closely fastened above the
hips. There is in all their rapid movements an elasti-
city which more resembles that of the feline than the
human race. In the gaint, in which they indulge in
order to prevent the ennui of inactivity, they bound
like so many tigers. Almost all of them speak French
with a drawling and guttural accent, which is not, how-
ever, at all disagreeable. Last night one battalion of
the Turcos struck their tents and left for Positedecissio ;
the others will leave this evening or to-morrow. After
the Aquassola, which is the favourite promenade of
Genoa, the road which leads to the camp of the Turoos
has been during the last live days, the most frequented
walk of the Genoese."
