OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.

(PROI( OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)
CAMP, SEBASTOPOL, APRIL 5.

The news of a treaty of peace having been signed
at Paris on the 30th March reached the allied armies
in the Crimea early on the morning of the 2nd inst.,
and was quickly promulgated through the various
camps. The intelligence produced scarcely any sea-
, sible emotion in the camps. Groups were formed,
as the intelligence was communicated from one to
another, and the subject was briefly discussed by the
persons assembled. Some expressed aatisfaction,others
the reverse, very often according to personal interests
and feelings, bat a general regret was expressed that
so fine an army—as good as, and in many respects bet-
ter equipped than, tho army which marched towards
Alma—should be dispersed without an opportunity
of signalising itself in another, and especially an open,
campaign. No one seemed to doubt that fresh glories
would have been achieved, which would have eclipsed
the splendour of any of those already accomplished.
A general satisfaction wu felt at the state of sus-
pense on this important subject being concluded.
A salute of 101 guns was fired at 2 p. m. of the day
De which the news of peace arrived, by the Royal Ar-
tillery, near to the same spot where the salute was
recently fired on the occasion of the birth of an Impe-
rial heir to the throne of France. In the French
orders of the day ■n opportunity was taken to
eulogise the conduct of the army throughout the
war, and to congratulate the troops on the glories
added to their country by the conquest of peace
achieved with the ■id of their brave allies, and on
their prospects of a speedy return to France; nor
was allusion omitted to the auspicious concurrence of
the great event of the day with the recent birth,
already announced, of an heir to the Imperial throne.
The news of the treaty of peace, and the conse-
quent probability of a speedy evacuation of the
Crimea, have led to increased attention to the arrange-
ments necessary for facilitating the removal of the
vast amount of stores in possession of the army. All
reports and returns on this subject are to be trans-
mitted to the principal storekeeper at Balaklays,
Captain Gordon, who is to have the supreme manage-
ment of the reception of the stores from all the de-
partments in the field, as well as their shipment, the
admiral, of course, providing the requisite transport
for their conveyance to Eogland or other stations. All
the guns have now been removed from the
Russian forts and works, as well as those
on the wharfs of the South Harbour, and sent down
by the railway to Balaklava. The English guue
from the siege train parks are following them fast,
and already these depots begin to exhibit a very
diminished appearance. Whether all the heaps of
shot and shell which have been accumulated in
various puts of the siege works are destined for re-
moval remains to be seen ; many of these piles of
Russian projectiles are in places not very accessible
to artillery waggon,. In regiments, the heavier por-
tions of the winter clothing and materials have
already been collected and stored, and the remainder
is retained in readiness to be given over at brief
notice.

A very practical confirmation of the reestablish.
meet of peace, so far as the soldiers are concerned,
has been the stoppage of tho 6d. per diem extra pay,
or field allowance, which they have been drawing
for some time put. It was ordered to be given so
long u the men were in presence of an enemy, and
there being no longer any enemy, it now of course
ceases. The cessation of this allowance has been
notified in the general orders—the stoppage to cont.
Mena from the bate on which the news was received
is the Crimea of the treaty having been signed,
namely, the tad inctlnt.
