and evenings are misty, but the normity sun is
oppreatively-hot, and gives as warning of the heat of
the summer. Inch hour of March animbiatt (fully
equal to the sunshine of May in Bulgaria) warns
oaken to order out eavesoflannel coats
and trousers, Irish poplins, breve hollands,
glove-leather boots, and ether artimies of cloth-
ing, invented foe the cenvenisase of pass=
exposed to extreme heat. A spesuledes amerst in
the antlers' camp has sent house he large quantity
of Wenham lake ace. and untold numbers of bottles
of ginger-beer and soda-water ; but value the specu-
lator's ideas of the consumptive powers of the army
are of the most extended description, I fear the sup-
ply will hardly meet the demand. Foe if the heats
of March are a fair criterion of the heats of June,
then will the army be subjected to a beat by far
more intense, though certainty much less dangerous
to health, than the heat of Dewna valley and hills.
A fear has been expressed that the men will Dot be
allowed to wear the white quilted ohako covers,
which the Bulgarian climate forced upon the coy
martinetism of the Peninsular veterans. I be-
lieve that is an idle fear. The absurd objec-
tors to this necessary head covering were con-
quered through the force of cucumatanoes,
and, though they may still survive, they will not
again dare to display their foolish faces to the light
of day. The campaign, short as it has been, has jos-
arid all those reforms of costume and habits which

Shall I again make your readers smile at the en-
thusiasm with which 1 must speak of the prove= of
tharailroad ? They would not smile if they could
but know what promises to um that railroad holds
forth—how we rejoice in every foot of ground it
conquers for itself. The transport within the lines—
independent of mangy bit horses and halt-famished
Orientals!—none but those who have passed the last
six months in the camp an realise the luxury of that
idea. Whenever the army moves out of the camp,
it will be seen what the land transport corps can do
for us. At prwnt I hear a measure ts in mitten.
plation tending to give that valuable and untried
corps plenty to do, and this measure I mention because
it appears, to say the lean, precipitate, noscuonable,
and precocious. It in intended to withdraw the
forage granted to regimental officers for the mints-
Innen of their bit horses, and entrust the transport
of of baggage to the land transport corps. To
deny the feasibility of this plan at a future period
would be as hasty and premature u the approving it
at the present time. Let the land transport corps
first show what they can do ; let them get, into
working order ; let them try their men and their Or-
'annul/en before you meddle with an arrangement
which has hitherto proved nuobjeetimaable, sad
which, to all intents and purposes, has worked well.
Union experience has shown that you are perfectly

ae extremely well for themselves. The
eximehmee of this campaign is not calculated to
mesh confidence in the effectiveness, the
and pemetnelity of public conveyance. Obli-
vious as son are in a °impair, very few have as
yet forgotten the disorders, the delays, the lose of
baggage, in the passage from Varna to Balaklava.
If the forage for the bit hones of the regi-
mental officers is withdrawn, it is not optional
whether or not or what part of their baggage
they will confide to the land transport corps ler

a camp—it is perfectly unattainable when a detach-
meet is on the march. This is not said in disparage-
ment of the corps I have mentioned, which I find
will in times to come extend its operations even
beyond the limits of the ideas of those rash men who
now seek to overburden its new and untried
capacities.

ceded at its commencement. The British soldier,
emancipated from the trammels of the collar and
stook, permitted to wear the beard God gave him,
and to move about in his light and easy Russia lea-
ther boots, now that he is neither overworked nor
underfed, looks a happy, strong, and prosperous
creature. War is forming its own men, and the military
education of the nation, so long neglected, is making
rapid strides in that portion of Great Britain which
at present colonises, builds huts, lays out gardens,
and erects Vic'oria•terraoes and Quarantine-villas in
the Tanrian Chersonebus.

TURKEY.

The telegraph has anuounord the arrival at Vienna
of the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, and his
reception by the Emperor. The following passage
from a letter from Constantinople of the 29th nit., in
the Courrier de Marseille, makes known the instruc-
tions of which he is the bearer :

A grand couneil waa held here the day before yesterday,
at the residence of Rifest Pacha, in order to decide on the
instructions to be given to Ali Paella. The French, English,
and Austrian ambassadors were present. The following are
the principal points which were decided on, par-
ticularly Turkey. I. The Sultan does not admit,
under any pretence, or under any form, the protectorate
powers, wither will the Porte nutmeat, unless compelled so
to do, to the common protectorate of the Danubian pro-
vinces.-2. Turkey is rtady to abandon her claim to an
indemnity for the expenate of the war, if that point should
be so obstacle to the conclusion of pease. Is ■ny other
ease she maintains her right to claim en i ademnity.-3
Turkey is resolved not to give her consent to the establish-
ment of a European arsenal, on any pan whatever of her
territory. Such are the instructions given. On every
question agitated, Ali Paeha is to rater to his government,
end the resolutions of Turkey will not become definitive
until they have been approved of by the Sultan. The em-
bas►y of Ali will be on a mast princely scale. lie has in bis
