THE CAMP IN THE CRIMEA.

INTELLIGENCE from the camp up to the 11th brings
news of hurried preparations for the evacuation of
the Crimea. Stores, shot, shell, and guns are being
rapidly collected and carried to Balaklava and
Kamiesch. The railway is to be utilised at Heraclea,
and pntoons are being constructed so as to enable
7,000 men a day to embark. The Guards and Rifle
Brigade, it is anticipated, will be tho.first to leave for
England ; but it is believed that 0,000 Sardinian
troops will embark first.
The health of the armies was excellent. Grand
reviews of the French and English armies took
place in the presence of the Russian generals on
the 18th. On the 14th the allied generals had
visited the Russian camp, and witnessed a review of
the 11th Russian division.

The Moniteur of Tuesday contained the following
despatch from Marshal Pelissier :
Sebastopol, April 18.
Yesterday I reviewed the troops of all arms forming the
army of the Crimea. General Luders, and a considerable
number of Russian officers, with Generals Codrington and
lle la Marmora, were present at this military festival.
The troops, having their right at the redoubt of the Col,
their centre on the eminence of St. George's Monastery,
and their left in the direction of Kazatch, formed an im-
mense and magnificent line of battle, more than twelve
thousand metres in extent.

The Emperor would have been charmed, as I was my-
self, at the fine order and martial air of the soldiers, to
whom I made known on the same day the rewards which
his Majesty has deigned to authorise me to grant them in
his name.

After a short rest at General Codrington's, who had in-
vited together the officers of the four armies, the English
troops presented themselves in their turn, under the most
favorable aspect, occasioning a second and superb review.
Our sanitary state is becoming excellent.
MARSHAL PELISSIER.
OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.

Lord Panmure received on Tuesday two despatches
and inclosures from General Sir William Codrington,
K.C.B.:—

Sebastopol, April 7.
The Stromboli returned this morning with Dr. Mel Urea
from Redout•Kaleh.

The letter from Prince Bebutoff, at Tiflis, of which a
copy is herewith transmitted, shows that General Williams
had recovered his health, and had been forwarded to
Riazan, near Moscow ; and that, consequently, it was not
necessary for Dr. Mclllree to go to Tiflis, nor do the
Russians seem to have wished that he should pass their
lines. Your lordship will see that the armistice had been
established in Asia.

Dr. Mclllree accordingly returned, bringing me letters
front Abdil Pacha, who was in temporary command of the
Turkish troops during the absence of Omer Pacha.
The service for which Dr. Mclllree was selected, would
probably have exposed him to a difficult if not dangerous
journey at this time of the year, across mountain passes,
and amongst such a population ; his mission would have
required circumspection and activity, and I beg to bring
his name to your lordship's notice from his service at Scu-
tari, and his selection by Sir J. Hall for the duty on which
he had been ordered.

W.J. CODIUNOTON, General Commanding.
(Inclosure.)
