We have since this morning been almost in the midst of
a camp of cavalry, all the trains being full of soldiers ►nd
hones; at noon, the Boulevard Napoleon was occupied by
six squadrons with an effective of 900 men and
800 horses, consisting of four squadrons of the
3rd regiment of mounted disowns' from Lyons,
and two of the 7th of the same name going to com-
plete the regiment, the two first of which have already
left for Rome. Also have arrived 16 mounted gendarmes
and two °Meer, and 250 men of the 36th of the Line. The
brigade Raoul is still to own awaiting transports. The
ironclad frigate Valenreuso, from Cherbourg, anchored
in the roadstead this morning. She touched yes-
terday at Ajaocio to receive instructions, and
after waiting just long enough to receive her de-
spatch she renewed her course for Toulon. Scarcely was
she moored here when she completed her stores so as to be
ready to sail for Civita Vecchia immediately. At eight
this morning the Mogador frig►te arrived here from that
port. She immediately commenced taking in stores, coal,
and all the men and horses that could not leave by the
Eldorado, now declared to be unserviceable.

A letter from Rochefort, in the Gironde of Bor-
deaux, says :
A despatch arrived here two days back ordering all the
ship carpenters in this port to leave immediately for Ton-
lon. Orders have also arrived to fit out the floating bat-
teries Paladzo and PaiAlutns, as wall as the first-class
frigate the Foudre.

A letter from Cherbourg, in the Siicie, says

The greatest activity reigns in the military arsenals,
where many supernumerary workmen are engaged ; the
fitting out of the ironclad floating batteries Foudroyante,
Protectrice, and Embuscade is being specially urged
forward.

The Pruse says that two divisions of the Impe-
rial Guard Cavalry and Artillery are to form part
of the expeditionary force, and that one of them is
preparing to start for Toulon.
The Courrier du Bas Rhin reports that the Prus-
sian government have called in all their reserves,
