PARIS, Thursday.—lndependently of the eight
divisions already designated to form the Army of
Observation under the command of Marshal Pelis-
sier, four additional divisions are in course of orga-
nisation for the same objects. The general-in-chief
of the Artillery of this army will be General Thiery-;
the,, commander-in-chief of the Engineers, General
silabet la Tour; and General Chasseloup Laubat
is to be chief of the General Staff of the army.
According to recent accounts from the Army
of Italy, the whole of the French troops and
military stores are expected on Saturday
next, the 28th, when the Emperor will pro-
bably make a general inspection of his forces.
Considerable annoyance is said to be felt at the War-
sfEce at letters which have appeared in some of the
-varis papers from persons giving absurd details of
the affair, particularly of one, who declared there
Were only 2,500 French troops engaged. They
°0 not seem to perceive that the lower their estimate
the greater the blame attaches to the commanders,
or the more evident is the numerical weakness
of the army at the theatre of war. A private
letter from Toulon of the 24th informs us that
the enlistment of seamen in that port, if not
abandoned, is at least suspended. A flotilla of gun-
boats is about to sail from Toulon, under the corn-
bland of Captain La Ronciere de la Noury, to be
followed 33y a second, flotilla, under the commAnd•of
Admiral Dapony. It is believed that these gun-
boats are to act against Venice. The Russian
General Count Drougimine has just quitted Mar-
seilles for St. Petersburgh, where he has been sum-
Maned by the Emperor Alexander. The troops
of the sth Corps are being embarked at Toulon.
When the sth Corps shall have embarked, the
43th corps will march. A 7th corps is to be formed
at Lyons and marched to Lombardy to make way
for an eighth corps. Five gun-boats on a new
!node' have been constructed at the dockyard of
• Seyne, near Toulon.. They can be taken to pieces
and again remounted. They are, it is said, intended
t.,2, be used against the Austrians on Lake Maggiore.
They were shipped at Toulon on board the transports
4iriege and Sevre, which sailed for Genoa on the
3dinst. The members of the Legislative Chambers,
h▪
aving expressed a wish to pay their res-
teete to the Empress and the Prince Imperial
fore separating, were, together.with the Council
.1g State, received at one o'clock this day, at the
Palace of the Tuileries, by Her Majesty, who spoke
Eta follows to the Council of State :
