TUE WAR COUNCIL IN PARIS.—The representatives of
England at the Military Council to be held at Paris, viz.,
the Duke of Cambridge, Sir E. Lyons, Sir R. Airey, Sir
H. Jones, and Admiral Dundas, leave town this day for
the French metropolis.

A statement :has been very extensively circulated, to
the effect that a violent attack had been made by a number
of the men of the Crimean army on the quarters of the
correspondent of our " leading " morning cotemporary, in
consequence of his statement as to the prevalence of
drunkenness among the soldiers. We deem it but justice
to the troops, whose discipline and good conduct are thus
impugned, to state that we are in possession of positive
testimony which shows the entire untruth of the statement
in question.

MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS.—On Saturday evening sum-
monses were issued from the Foreign-office, for a meeting
of the members of the Cabinet on Friday next, at two
o'clock. The Earl of Clarendon, who has been detained
in town by the urgency of public business since Thursday
last, left the Foreign-office on Saturday evening, to join
the Countess and family at the Grove, near Watford.
The noble Earl returned to the metropolis yesterday.
Sir Charles Wood will be unable to absent himself from
town, from the amount of public duty he has to discharge
in his department of the government. Admiral Sir
Edmund Lyons had an interview with the First Lord
on Saturday at the Admiralty. The Marquis of Lans-
downe will continue a fortnight longer at Bowood, to
receive company. when he will return to town, to assist
in the Councils of the Ministry. Sir George Grey, whose
accident while out hunting with the Berkshire hounds has
previously been announced, is going on very favourably.
The right hon. baronet has determined to remain in town
for the season. The Earl of Harrowby left town on
Saturday. Lord Panmure, the Lord Chancellor, the
Right Hon. M. T. Baines, and Lord Stanley, of Alderley,
remain in town.

ILLNESS OF LORD ADOLPRUS FITZCLARENCE.—We
regret to learn that Rear-Admiral Lord Adolphus Fitz.
Clarence is in a very critical state, arising from a relapse
of gout, from a stubborn attack of which the noble and
gallant admiral had been suffering for the last three
weeks. Or. Friday morning he was assailed by the most
serious symptoms, and the greatest fears were enter-
tained when the members of his lordship's family learnt
from the medical attendants that their patient was seized
with gout in the head. Lady Mary Fox and Lady
Augusta Gordon Hallyburton have since that day been
iu constant attendance on their brother, and Viscount
and Viscountess Falkland came to town on Friday night
from their seat in Yorkshire, and have continued with
the other members of the family who are attending the
sick chamber of his lordship. His Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge called at midnight on Friday, and
has called personally daily at his lordship's residence in
St. James's Palace. Her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert sent by telegraph on Sunday morning
to learn the condition of his lordship ; and the Duchess of
Gloucester and the other members of the royal family
have made anxious inquiries after the gallant sufferer.
About three o'clock on Saturday morning a decided
change for the better took place, and Lord Adolphus
continued slightly improved, and his medical advisers
held out hopes of his lordship's ultimate recovery,
although it could not be said he was out of danger,
