PREPARATIONS FOR A CAMPAIGN.

Of rather more importance, however, was the ash-
'squint march, on the same day, of two French
divisions, a large contingent of Piedenouteee, and
the whole of the French and Sedulity cavalry—

corps has pawed an through the Baidar Valley into
the Aitodor Pass, by Vernouka ; and, by this time,
we trust, is far on its way towards the old otpitol of
the Tartar khans. Intelligence has readied oar
generals that the enemy is in lull retreat from the
neighbourhood of his lost stronghold, and this
French and Sardinian force will endeavour to tie ll
the lines of the Berl& k on him, whilst another

In strong inferential confirmation of the fact that

been sent round to all the Divaions to inform the
Land Transport authorities what will be the

Another corresiondint olio writing on the 18th,
says:

" The occurrences in camp since the list mail left
may be mentioned in a tew words. Preparations,
both as regards transport and commissariat, are in
progress for a move of a portion of the army. Neither
the destination, nor the force to be sent, are
known. It is generally urderstood that two
or three divisions are to join a French force,
to make a movement against the Russian p Islam at
Batechi Boni. The principal passes toward the
Mackenzie H-ights are Do strongly defended, that it
meld only be with great lass. and very great risk,
as attempt to force them could be carried out; ►ut
it is said that a way of approach has been disoo-
weed which has been quite overlooked by the enemy,
And which will well serve Lot only for the pottage
of cavalry and iolantry, but also for light field•guns.
The French, foe several days past, have been march-
ing strong bodies towards Btidar. The divisions,
formerly eegagtd in the siege dude, on ,he left, have,
bees moved to the right flibk and to the plain. Of
the British troops, the divisions of Guards and High-
landers, and either the 3rd or 4th division, or both,
ars talked of se itkely to leave."
