A letter from Marseilles of. the 20th says :
"The steamer Clyde, from Syria, has just landed
here six Arabian horses intended for the Emperor,
which have been brought by M. de Bourgoing.
These horses unite great purity of breed with a
size very unusual in Oriental horses."
The Andromaque frigate and the Duguesclin
line-of-battle-ship left Toulon on the 21st with
troops and military stores for the Crimea.
A letter from Cairo, of the sth, in the Gazette
du Midi, says :—" The Viceroy is now at Alexan-
dria. His expedition to Upper Egypt has had but
little effect upon the Bedouins. There have been
some skirmishes, and in an affair of this nature the
Viceroy lost 40 men ; others affirm a much larger
number. The rebels are said to have taken six
guns from the regular troops. What has induced
Said Pacha to return is the weak state of his
health. He is going to. send, they say, three
squadrons of horse artillery against the rebels, and
he has already despatched 100 well-armed cawas,
or municipal agents, to Upper Egypt, where his
troops have been left to maintain public order
and security. To-morrow the Khalige, or great
canal around the city, is to be opened with great
soleinnity. The cholera has disappeared, at least
as an epidemic, and the sanitary state of Cairo is
satisfactory."
A despatch from General La Marmora states
that the number of killed and wounded in the Sar-
dinian contingent, at the battle of Tchernaya,
amounted to 600.

The Constitutionmel gives the following as cor-
rect details of the Russian and Turkish forces in
Asia at the end of July :
" General Mouravieff commands for the siege of Kars
thirty-two battalions of infantry. one of chasseurs, one
of engineers, three regiments of dragoons, two of regu-
lar Cossacks, some Bashi-Rizouks from Chirvan, and
some Armenian militia, with SO pieces of cannon.
This army may be computed at from 35,000 to 40,000
men. It is divided round Kars into four divisions, and
is independent of the diviiion which occupies Sobanli-
Daghaud. The Turkish army is divided into two corps
d'arai6e, under the command of the Muchi Vassif
The Ist corps, .that of Kars, is formed of four divisions
—viz., that of General Kmetty (Ismail Pacha) 4,500
strong, that of Ismail Bey, consisting of 3,000 men, a
division of 4,000 men, and another of 3,500, in all about
15,000 men. The 2.1 corps d'arm6e, commanded by
Mehemet Pacha, Governor-General of Erzeroum, is
formed of three divisions ; that of Erzeroum, consisting
of 1,500 irregular tr•iops, commanded by Takir Pacha ;
that of Kupru Keni, composed of 10,000 irregular
troops, under the command of Veli Pacha ; and that of
Alti of 3,000 irregulars, commanded by Ali Pacha. This
also makes a total of about 15,000 men. The Turks
thus have at these two points troops inferior in numbers
to the RusAans,"

The Constitutionnel contains a telegraphic de-
spatch from Warsaw, of the 20th, which says :
" Ten thousand men of the Imperial militia, who
were under orders from Ripeff for Poland, have
received counter-orders, and will remain in Lithu-
ania."

The fete Napoleon was celebrated with the usual
ceremonies at Munich by the French Ambassador.
High mass was performed and a Te Deum sung in
the parochial church of the Embassy. Among the
persons present were some old officers of the Bava-
rian army, wearing the Legion of Honour, which
they had gained in fighting the battles of the Em-
pire.
