FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
The arrival of Colonel d'Olberg, aide-de-camp of
General Wedell, was noticed yesterday. Every
one is anxious to ascertain the result of his journey
to Berlin, the nature of the despatches of which he

was to be the bearer, and, in a word, whether the
long-expected treaty, which, now more than a
week ago, was oa the point of signature, has been
received. Up to seven o'clock last evening nothing
positive was known, and, though another day has
passed, the latest accounts are nothing more than this,
that there are reasons for believing that the King
of Prussia desires an arrangement. The opinion
here is that the Conferences will open in about eight
or ten days from the present date, and that another
Note will be presented to Prince Gortschakoff very
soon after, with the conditions already proposed,
and a categorical answer demanded without delay.
Remonstrances ofa very decided kind have, it is
said, again:been received from more than one
foreign Government—Austria is mentioned in par-
ticular—against the projected journey to the
Crimea—with what effect remains to be seen.
We read in the Nouvelliste Vaudois :
"The enlistment for the French service has become
very popular among the military in Switzerland."
Thel'outonnaisstates that from the 10th January
to the 23d February, 7,417 men embarked in that
port for the East. The numbers conveyed by the
following ships were—the Caffarelli, 530 • Sitan,
435 ; Darien, 746 ; Louis XI V. 1,061 ; Labrador,

ROYAL VISIT TO THE HAYMARET

THEATRE.

Last evening her Majesty and Prince Albert, acco
parried by the Princess Alice, honoured this theatre vi7ith
a visit. The pieces selected for the occasion were the
lessee's successful comedetta of Married Li fe, in which
he appeared in his original part ; the new Spanish ballet
The Bullfighter, The Balance of Comfort, and A Gallic ian
Fete. The fascinating Perea Nena put forth all her
powers, and never have we seen her dance to such per-
fection as she ilia last evening. The cachuchas zapa-
teados and sequidillas, previously witnessed " over the
way," all sink into nothingness when compared with. the
boleros and fandangos of the vivacious and eathusia stic
Senora. We cannot marvel at the pleasure the royal
party seemed to experience in witnessing the twinkling
feet of Nena as she performed her wonderful and im-
pulsive national dances, for where could we find a
parallel for her new ones? In them we have all those points
which have stamped her as one of the greatest artistes GI" the
day. The advance and recoil, the pursuit, andL the
astonishing whirl at the conclusion, are all given, and
given with greater effect, if it be possible, thane -they
were last year. The public last season had to be tuade
familiar with true Spanish daneing, and therefore they
did not then enter into the spirit of it as they now do ;
and the royal party, we were delighted to see, were no
exception to the general rule, and amongst the
applauders of Perea not the least enthusiastic were the
occupants of the royal box. Although the visit of her
Majesty was kept a secret, the house was crowded in
every part, and we had the satisfaction to observe that
no attempt was made to intrude upon the privacy of
the royal party.

WALLACHIA.

I letter from Bucharest, of the sth, in the Pays;
Bays--

A curious affair has occurred here, and has created
Fome sensation Four persons wearing masks, but
whose appearance indicated that they belonged to the
higher classes, waited two days ago on Mr. Colquhoun,
the English consul. On being introduced into his office
they carefully closed the door. He at first thought
they were Carnival maskers ; but they produced a
number of papers and presented them to him. Amongst
them there was a complaint, drawn up in strong terms,
against the administration of Prince Stirbey. Mr.
Colquhoun begged of them to take off their masks, but
they refused. When they left he examined the papers
and found that they contained some very curious
details."

MILITARY.

The screw-steamer Gibraltar, which arrived on
Friday in Queenstown, will convey the following troops
to the Crimea :-130 of the 33d Regiment, with Captains
Wickham and Fanshawe, Lieutenant the Hon. R. H.
Ds Montmorency, an Ensigns Johnston and Ball ;
72 of the 54th, under Ensign Parr ; 70 of the 66th,
under Ensign Oliver ; and 139 of the 90th, with six
officers.

Teterinary-Surgeon Cochrane, rt.A., sails from Cork
in the Himalaya for the Crimea, in charge of 161 horses,
to serve as remounts for the cavalry.
A circular has been addressed by the Lord Mayor of
Dublin to the governors of the various hospitals of that
city, requesting particulars as to the accommodation
available for sick and wounded soldiers and sailors arriv-
ing from the Crimea.
Recruiting for the 4th Light Dragoons, whose num-
bers have been considerably thinned during the present
war, is going on with considerable vigour at Manchester,
where there are already 220 fresh horses and 140 men in
active training. The cavalry barracks at Manchester
have the 3d Light Dragoons quartered in them, and,
the stabling being insufficient fur the addition above-
mentioned, temporary sheds of wood were erected last
week under the direction of Colonel Henry Servaete, of
the Royal Engineers, for 112 horses. A detachment is
expected to be sent out to the Crimea in the course of
next month of these new troops. A troop-sergeant•
major has also been sent to Manchester, as quartermaster
for a field-train, which is forming there, for the purpose
of conveying stores to the army in the field.
Ten thousand muskets have just been delivered into
the Tower stores from the manufacturers at Birming-
ham. A new description of rifle has been issued to the
makers ; it is called the Pritchett rifle, and is said to be
superior to the Minie.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1855,

Government mismanagement has nowhere been
more conspicuous than in the transport service.
Notwithstanding the number of vessels belonging
to the Royal Navy lying idle and uselessly rotting
away—notwithstanding the number of efficient
officers on the half-pay list, a large proportion of
whom would willingly have availed themselves of
any opportunity of active service, no matter how
onerous or perilous—it was determined that the
resources of the Crown were not sufficient to meet
the emergency, and that it was essential to charter
private vessels to supply the palpable deficiency.
The great steam-packet companies were therefore
largely resorted to, as well as private shipowners.
These companies had entered into contracts for
conveyance of mails to various colonies and settle-
ments, and the vessels which they were compelled
to place at the disposal of the Government were
necessarily withdrawn from the stations for which
they had been intended, to the great derange-
ment and detriment of the ocean postal system.
The owners were of course largely remunerated.
It could not have been otherwise. The estimates
for the transport for the last and the current
year enable us to form some notion of the enor-
mous
"11a-sr—which amounted last yea r to no
less that 3)582,474j., and which it is calcu-
lated will amount to fully 5,081,4651., or
8,663,9391. for the two years—far more than
the aggregate value of all the transports employed
during any portion of the period.

We shall not now offer any coraraentary on the
gross improvidence, the wanton extravagance of
such a system. That it should be at all required,
established a prima fade case of negligence against
"My Lords." If, however, the exigencies of the
public service, tl►® efficient and energetic
the manatie_
ment of the War, and the forwarding sup_
plies necessary to our gallant army in the Crimea
required so large an expenditure, the people
would not have complained, but, on the contrary,
would gladly have liquidated a much heavier bill.
Unfortunately, however, the service so liberally
paid for was very indifferently performed. Many
of thevessels were kept perfectly idle,Swhile even
those engaged were not permitted to land their
cargoes. Impediments and difficulties were on
every occasion, and on the most trivial pretexts,
thrown in the way. It was, in fact, as if the
permanent employees thouzlit that their most im-
portant duty was to snub the " casuals," and to
London, England, 1855-02-28

prevent the army from obtaining the slightest
benefit from their efforts. If the most trivial
formwere wanting—if the red tape were not
tied in accordance with the approved official
pattern, the stores were peremptorily re-
jected, no matter how urgent the demand. It
was a difficult and expensive matter to send the
stores from England to Balaklava, and very
serious mistakes were made in the arrangement of
the cargoes ; but it was trifling to the obstacles
that arose after the arrival at their destination.
The last seven miles occasioned tenfold greater
difficulties than the preceding three thousand. A
cargo of boots and shoes were sent three times
backwards and forwards across the Black Sea,
while our soldiers were fighting barefooted, or
with straw wrapped about their bleeding feet.
Potatoes were rejected when that baneful scourge,
the scurvy, was present in our camp. The mas-
ter of the transport had, however, the good sense
to give these invaluable esculents to the Greek
population, who realised large sums by retailing
at an enormous price what was intended to be
gratuitously distributed !

But why multiply examples ? Much of the
misery endured by our troops, aye, more, a large
proportion of the mortality that has thinned the
ranks of one of the noblest armies that ever left
the British shores, may be directly traced to the
mismanagement of the transport service, which
has cost, or is to cost, 8,663,9391. sterling 1
And yet this is what the new Secretary
for War thinks fit to defend ! The Noble
Lord last night indignantly denied that
"he had made an apologetic speech, or
had admitted the existence of abuses !" To
what, then, does he ascribe the demand for in-
quiry, the overthrow of the ABERDEEN Govern-
ment, and his own appointment as Minister for
War ? If there were no abuses, why was the
Duke of NEWCASTLE victimised ?—why was Lord
ABERDEEN cashiered ? We trust the Noble Lord
will explain these anomalies. It is, however,
difficult to suppose the younger DROMIO would be
willing to expose the blemishes and deformities
of his twin brother; and to that we must ascribe
the rather inconsistent praise best° Ned by the
Secretary for War on the efficiency and judi-
cious management of the Transport Service !

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

The arrival of Colonel d'Olberg, aide-de-camp of
General Wedell, was noticed yesterday. Every
one is anxious to ascertain the result of his journey
to Berlin, the nature of the despatches of which ho
was to be the bearer, and, in a word, whether the
long-expected treaty, which, now more than a
week ago, was oa the point of signature, has been
received. Up to seven o'clock last evening nothing
positive was known, and, though another day has
passed, the latest accounts are nothing more than this,
that there are reasons for believing that the King
of Prussia desires an arrangement. The opinion
here is that the Conferences will open in about eight
or ten days from the present date, and that another
Note will be presented to Prince Gortschakoff very
soon after, with the conditions already proposed,
and a categorical answer demanded without delay.
Remonstrances of fa very decided kind have, it is

TheYoulonnais states that from the 10th January
to the 23d February, 7,417 men embarked in that

BERLIN, Feb. 25.—Several papers have copied

in the present negotiation with the Western
Powers, viz.,.—No diminution of the Russian ter-
ritory : all revolutionary element's to be kept in
abeyance : no further demands to be made of
Russia than those contained in the four points : no
such conditions to be put to Russia as would be
incompatible with her honour to concede : and
Prussia's participation in the approaching peace
conferences in Vienna. When these stipulations
are agreed to Prussia is willing to station 100,000
men on her Eastern frontier. The Preussische
Correspondenz designates this statement as being
possessed of no pretensions to authenticity.
The Kreuz Zeituag announces the surprise, on
January 16th, of the strong fortress belonging to
the Tschetschenzes, called Schouaib Kapou, and
generally styled the Gibraltar of Tschetschenia.
The Russian forces wore led by General Baron
Nicolai, who contrived to surround the fortress so
thoroughly and so unperceived by the enemy that
Schamyl's garrison was hardly able to offer any
resistance.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 15.—Within these last
few days a rumour has been afloat in respect to the
approaching retirement of Lord Redcliffe. Gen.
Rose, in this eventuality, is also reported as des-
tined to the succession. All concur in thinking that
our Government could not possibly make a better
choice than General Rose for the post of ambassa-
dor at Constantinople.

The screw-steamer Gibraltar, which arrived on
Friday in Queenstown, will convey the following troops
to the Crimea:-130 of the 33d Regiment, witheaptains
Wickham and Fanshawe, Lieutenant the Hon. R. 11.
De Montmorency, and Ensigns Johnston and Ball ;
72 of the 54th, under Ensign Parr ; 70 of the 66th,
under Ensign Oliver ; and 139 of the 90th, with six

Teterinary-Surgeon Cochrane, R.A., sails from Cork
in the Himalaya for the Crimea, in charge of 161 horses,
to serve as remounts for the cavalry.
A circular has been addressed by the Lord Mayor of
Dublin to the governors of the various hospitals of that
city, requesting particulars as to the accommodation
available for sick and wounded soldiers and sailors arriv-
ing from the Crimea.
Recruiting for the 4th Light Dragoons, whose num-
bers have been considerably thinned during the present
war, is going on with considerable vigour at Manchester,
where there are already 220 fresh horses and 140 men in
active training. The cavalry barracks at Manchester
have the 3d Light Dragoons quartered in them, and,
the stabling being insufficient fur the addition above-
mentioned, temporary sheds of wood were erected last
week under the direction of Colonel Henry Servante, of
the Royal Engineers, for 112 horses. A detachment is
expected to be sent out to the Crimea in the course of
next month of these new troops. A troop-sergeant.
major has also been sent to Manchester, as quartermaster
for a field-train, which is forming there, for the purpose
of conveying stores to the army in the field.
Ten thousand muskets have just been delivered into
the Tower stores from the manufacturers at Riming-
ham. A new description of rifle has been issued to the
makers ; it is called the Pritchett rifle, and is said to be
superior to the Minie.

THE TRANSPORT ALMA.

'We (Times) published some time since an extract of a
letter complaining, as it appears falsely, of the accom-
modation on board the steam-ship Alma, which had
then been just taken up for the transport service to the
Crimea. The following letter, addressed by all the
passengers to the captain, and dated Balaklava, proves
how unfounded was the statement of our correspondent:
—" Dear sir,--We have reason t) believe that you,
even more than ourselves, have felt annoyed by a
letter regarding the 41.1 ma which appeared some
time ago in the Times, proceeding certainly from
none of tig. On this account therefore particu-
larly we wish to express to you how very much in-
debted all cf us who have been on board with you
till you reached this place have Leen to you for the
unvarying kindness and attention you have shown us,
how convinced we are of your own and your officers'
excellent seamanship, and how exceedingly comfortable
we have been on board ; at the same time, while we
state this more particu!arly with the wish of removing
from your mind any painful feelings the letter referred
to may have..causeq, we are glad of this opportunity of
conveying thatilA; anl.l the assurance4f 'our
good wishes for you wherever you go."
Among the arrivals in the Britannia of naval invalids
from the Black Sea fleet is that of Lieutenant Marcus
Smithett, son of Captain Luke Smithett, of Dover, and
grandson of Sir John Hamilton, a veteran servant of
the Crown, now 90 years of age. It will be remembered
that Lieutenant Smithett served in the Tribute, 21,
screw, at the Sebastopol attack, and was seriously
burnt in gallantly assisting Captain Moore in blowing
up the enemy's fort on the Circassian coast, Lieutenant
Smithett having himself fired the train. Lieutenant
Smithett has been suffering all the way home from the
external and internal injuries he received when he was
blown up with the fort.

WALLACHIA.

A letter from Bucharest, of the sth, in the Pays;
says—

A curious affair has occurred here, and has created
some sensation Four persons wearing masks, but
whose appearance indicated that they belonged to the
higher classes, waited two days ago on Mr. Colquhoun,
the English consul. On being introduced into his office
they carefully closed the door. He at first thought
they were Carnival maskers ; but they prdthiced a
number of papers and presented them to bim. Amongst
them there was a complaint, drawn up in strong terms,
against the administration of Prince Stirbey. Mr.
Colquhoun begged of them to take off their masks, but
they refused. When they left he examined the papers
and found that they contained some very curious
details."
