THE CAMP IN THE CRIMEA.

INTELLIGENCE from the camp, to the 2'qh March
brings us little news.
The Russians and Allies were not permitted, as
yet, to cultivate each other's acquaintance to any
extent.

The races, to which General Luders and the Rus-
sians had been invited, but declined, went off with
great eclat. The army was healthy. Miss Nightin
gale and M. Soyer had arrived at the camp Ito
arrange the hospitals of the Land Transport Corps.
Miss Nightingale had been thrown ont of her cart,
and was slightly shaken and bruised, but happily not
severely injured. Colonel Mlll urdo had arrived, and
taken command of the Land Transport. The weather
was still cold. The daily removal of Russian stores
from Sebastopol continued without intermission.
Lord Pannaure received on Thursday a despatch
from General Codrington, dated 25th March, enclos-
ing the weekly medical returns.
The Moniteur of Tu,•sday publishes the following
despatch from Marshal Pelissier
_ _

Head-quarters, Sebastopol, March 2.5.
Monsieur le Marechal,—The army of the East has hailed
with enthusiasm the happy news of the deliverance of the
Empress, and the birth of the Prince Imperial has been
welcomed with loud cheers.
The event has been celebrated by our faithful allies
and by ourselves with great rejoicings ; even the Russians
participated in them ; for on the evening of the '23rd, per-
ceiving that fires of rejoicing had been lit in the three
armies, they responded by lighting fires along all their
lines.
On the following day races on a grand scale were held
on the banks of the Tschernaya. Nothing could equal the
coup-d'eeil of this magniAcent spectacle. English, French,
and Sardinians were exchanging congratulations on the
event which the deep voice of the cannon had announced
the evening before from Sebastopol and from the camps.
For my part, M. le Marechal, connecting this great event
with that upon which your despatch of the 1-ith leaves
no doubt, I am happy to state that never did star shine
with brighter lustre than that of the Emperor. This
peace, signed upon the cradle of a child, bears a happy
augury for all.
It' the Emperor and Empress will deign to accept them,
I beg of you, M. le Marechal, to offer them the respectful
congratulations of the army and of myself, and to say to
their Majesties that all of us have addressed sincere prayers
to Heaven for the welfare of this child given to us, and
who has come to secure the destinies of France.
I beg of you, M. le Marichal, to accept the expression a
my rearettui and denoted sentiments.
Marshal
