FRANCE.

PARIS, Friday.—The following telegraphic de-
spatch was received here to-day
" MARSEILLES, 14th, Evening.—We learn by
the Mersey that 8,000 of the allied troops em-
barked at Kertch to take part in the expedition to
Anapa. 12,000 Turks of the army of Asia are
marching on the same point. The sub-marine
infernal machines, which were discovered at
Kertch, were intended to be conveyed to Ka-
miesh and Balaklava by vessels under neutral
flags. One of these machines, which was tried
at Kertch, blew up a large barge. Mines of
coal have been found at Bostow on the Don.
In an order of the day, General Pelissier has
announced the advantages gained by the Allies,
and quoted the names of seven generals. The
order concludes as follows—" The moment ap-
proaches when we shall strike at the heart of the
enemy." The Allied fleets were dressed out in
flags on receiving the report of Admiral Bruat.
Th thermometer at Sebastopol stood at 34 degrees
above zero centigrade (about 93 Fahrenheit). The
Russian deserters say that the garrison is deci-
mated by sickness. The Piedmontese soldiers have
suffered slightly from the climate, but they are
generally hardy troops. A poll tax has been re-
established in Egypt towards the expenses of the
war."

The Moniteur contains a decree confirming eight
promotions to the rank of officers and thirty-nine
nominations to that of Knight in the Legion of
Honour, as well as the grant of fifty-eight Military
Medals, made by the General-in-Chief of the army

is current at Pau that the Emperor and the Em-
press would visit Eaux-Bonnes about the end of
the present month ; that their Majesties would
proceed there incognito, and that the Emperor
leaving the Empress there would return to Paris.
