THE WAR.
AT the most urgent request of Prince Menschikoff,
General Annenkoff has sent to the Crimea all the
disposable cavalry from Odessa and Kimborn.
There are now at Odessa but three and at Kimborn
one squadron of cavalry remaining. In Sebastopol,
at the date of the 14th, the Russians admitted that
they lost 150 men daily.
Reinforcements for the Crimea were continually
arriving at Constantinople. The Porte sends 10,000
I'II
tents to Balaklava. Four vessels with ammunition
ad been lost. The English troops have left Greece
for the Crimea. 500 men from Malta take their
lace. Only 2,400 French troops are now in Greece.

barking at Toulon. The Milan, Vengeance, and
Chandernagor have sailed.
Prince Napoleon has recovered from his attack,
and received a visit from the Sultan on the 16th inst.
Suliman Pacha, who commanded the Turkish forces
in the affair of Balaklava, and who had been de-
graded, has been reduced to the ranks as a private
Moldier.
The steamer Ensu arrived at Marseilles on Thurs-
day, having left Constantinople on the 13th. She
,brings General Bentinck and Colonels Fitzroy, Dal-
!rymple, and Carlton, who were wounded on the sth.
General Torrens remained at Malta.
Galignani's Messenger believes itself entitled to
announce that the French Government had resolved
to send two divisions into the Danubian principali-
ties, in addition to the two French divisions now em-
barking at Toulon for the Crimea.
According to accounts from Vienna, Count Coronini
bas been ordered not to interfere in any way what-
ever with the movements of the Turks in their
march towards Bessarabia, and at the same time he
is to avoid all collision with the troops of the Czar.

The British Government have determined to send
out twelve gentlemen to act in the capacity of
dressers in our hospitals in the East. They are all
students of medicine, and are to receive pay at the
rate of Os. Od. a day, with the allowances of assistant

surgeons.
A large library of books, as well as an adequate
supply of newspapers and periodicals, have been
despstcbed for the use of the sick and wounded in
our hospitals in Turkey.
The Rev. Robert Watson has been appointed an
officiating Presbyterian chaplain to the forces in the
East, and is under orders for immediate embarkation.

the Rev. W. Whyatt, have been provided with
passages in the Charity, which will sail early in the
ensuing week.
A considerable increase to the staff of nurses now
at Scutari is about to be made. From letters which
have lately been received, we learn that nothing can
exceed the sedulous kindness and attention of Miss
Nightingale and her noble corps and the public wili re-
joice to know that everything is being done which can
minister relief or afford comfort to our suffering
countrymen.

An Athens letter of the 17th inst. states that the

insurgents. The Chambers will assemble on the

arrived in London on Thursday afternoon, from
Constantinople, and immediately proceeded to
Windsor.

mander-in-chief on the west coast of Africa, will
