THE CAMP IN THE CRIMEA.

The conclusion of peace and the further prolonea-
tion of the armistice will afford ample time for the
armies in the Crimea to carry out all those reciprocal
civilities already contemplated. Dinners and balls,
with fetes and races, are anticipated—the first dis-
appointment of peace has been survived—and Russ,
Englishman, and Zouave will soon meet upon more
amicable terms than has hitherto characterised their
encounters.

Intelligence up to the 22nd states that the best
feeling existed bf;tween the allied and Russian
armies. The health of the English army continued
excellent, while that of the French bad considerably
improved. A terrible accident happened in the Eng-
lish camp, by which twenty-two men are believed to
have been burnt to death. Two huts and storehouses
belonging to the Army Works Corps at Balaklava
caught fire on the night of the 17th, and first suffo-
cated, then burnt, the inmates, who are supposed to
have been keeping St. Patrick's Eve rather freely.
Seventeen bodies had been taken out of the ruins
burnt literally to a cinder, and presenting a horrible
appearance.
The removal of stores from Sebastopol, and the
complete destruction of the barrack, docks, &c., still
continues.

The birth of the Imperial Prince in Paris is stated
to have been celebrated with grand illuminations
and royal salutes from the batteries, allied and
Russian, in the Crimea. The Highlanders for some
time previous had been engaged in preparing vast
bonfires in anticipation of the event.

Front Asia Minor the news is not of much im-
portance. Omer Pacha was expected back at Trebi-
zond to reassume the command over the army of
Asia.

Accounts from Krrtch state that an expedition
against Arabat had been postponed.
General de la Marmora arrived in the camp on
the 10th.

Letters from Tiflis announce the gradual rectora•
tion to health of General Williams, and anticipate
his speedy exchange.
From the Baltic we learn that the ice has partially
broken up. The immediate return to Spithead of
our advanced squadron is now settled.
