THE CRIMEA,

Letters from Sebastopol, dated the 15th ultimo,
give a long account of the review of the Russian
troops by the allied generals. On arriving at
Traktyr bridge the Russian band played a national
air, the guard presented arms and cheered. Mar-
shal Pelissier, who was riding a superb black
charger with long bang tail, the trappings being
of gold and the holsters and saddlecloth of leopard
skin, headed the procession, taking off his cocked
hat on the occasion. Behind him was General
Luders, who likewise rode on a black charger,

bearing an Astracan black saddlecloth, having

the Emperor's cipher on each corner. This
noted soldier is by birth a German. With his
helmet on he appears about forty, but when I
was nearer to him afterwards in the marquee, he
struck me as being about 50 years of age. His hair

is short and thin, and of a greyish tinge. His
figure is stout, although he is above the middle
height. On his breast he wore six medals or

crosses and five stars; and here I may mention
that the Russians appear to be decorated for every
thing. Most of the soldiers wear from five to eight

orders ; some I saw with sixteen ; and they all
were rewarded with a Silistria cross, and a
Sebastopol circular medal, the riband being

the same for both. After General Luders

there followed in line Sir William Codrington,
who was dressed, as all his staff were, in a plain
blue frock coat, with cocked hat and sword, Gen.
La Marmora, Sir Hugh Rose, General Windham,

&o. After the Russian troops on the spot had

marched by in review, the generals lunched in

General Luders' tent. At the centre of a small

horseshoe table sat General Luders, having on his

left Marshal Pelissier, and on his right General La
Marmora. Next to Marshal Pelissier sat General
Codriugton. At the two other tables there sat Gen.

Windham, Sir Hugh Rose, and all the staff. Sir

Colin was asked in, but as he had come to the review

uninvited, he declined, until, at a later time he was

again sent for—when he made his appearance,
apparently much to the delight of General Luders.
All the, eatables and drinkables came from Batchi-

Serai, where General Luders lives, and also the
servants, who wore black coats and white waist-

coats. Marshal Pelissier, in proposing the
Emperor Alexander's health, alluded to the brave

armies that were enemies but are now friends.
Two different kinds of bread were on the table—
the black ration bread and the white bread, like
cake. After the company had risen, cigars were
handed-round, and several officers who had been

partaking of a capital luncheon just outside, at
the end of the marquee, from the remains, together
with others, were invited in. It was close upon
five before the allied commanders again mounted
their horses, when General Luders, and Marshal
Pelissier, who was smoking, led, followed by Gen.
La Marmara, Sir Hugh Roso, General Windham,

&c., Sir William Codrington and his aide-decamps
keeping in rear amongst the escort, which was the

same returning as coming,

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

The great event of the day is the formal publica-
tion and promulgation of the treaty of peace and
of its annexes, which has been in the llioniteur
according to notice. It is, however, not necessary

to send these two documents to you, as a tele-
graphic despatch informs us they have already
been published at London. Neither in the treaty,
nor in the annexes is there anything of which the
public is not already aware, and I observe with
pleasure that the information I was able to obtain
at different times as to the contents of the
treaty, the nature of the annexes, and the powers
which signed them, &c., &c., turns out to
have been substantially correct. You will make
your own comments on the treaty, but it may be
mentioned that the impression on the English
here is, that the concession England has made
with respect to privateering, and neutral goods and

ships, are impolitic

The government, I am assured on fair authority
—as by the way the speech of Count Walewski
in the Congress caused it to be supposed—mean
to address very energetic remonstrances to the
Belgian government on the subject of the language
which some of the newspapers employ towards the
French Emperor. These papers are not admitted
into France, and it is said by partisans of the
government that they really exceed all reasonable
bounds. Thus it is asserted that one of them, a
day or two ago, spoke of the " glorious anniver-
sary of the attempted assassination of the
Emperor," or something of that kind.
Count Orloff went to-day, in grand state, to the
Tuileries to announce officially to the Emperor
the accession of the Emperor Alexander to the
throne of Russia—a fact of which his Majesty was
supposed to be officially ignorant. Baron
Brunnow is to leave for London to communicate
the same important piece of intelligence toter
Majesty Queen Victoria. As a mark of respect
for the French Emperor, Prince Dolgorouki,
Minister of War in Russia, and one of the most
important personages of the empire, will be sent to
this city as ambassador.

The departure of Count de Morny, for St.
Petersburg, on an extraordinary mission to the
Czar, is to take place between the 10th and 15th
May. His mission is to be as splendid, as a nume-
rous suite, brilliant uniforms, and lavish expendi-
ture can make it. One of the newspapers, I see,
says, that he will carry with him the plate of the
presidency of the legislative body, that of the
embassy not being good enough for so great a
personage, or for the Lucullus--like banquets he
contemplates giving.

I have some reason to believe, that the reports
that have been current of the removal of Lord
Cowley from the English embassy, are unfounded,
or at all events premature.

The Emperor has caused the Imperial Prince to
be inscribed as an " enfant de troupe," on the
muster roll of the first regiment of grenadiers
of the guard. This is generally considered very
silly.

The Northern Railway Company held its general
annual meeting yesterday. A dividend of 45 francs
was declared, which, added to 16 francs for interest,
paid in January, makes 61 franc, or very
nearly 21. 10s.
P.S. —The semiofficial Patrie of this evening
attacks the Belgian press with semi-violence.
This, in its way, is a corroboration of what I said
above.
