H.M.S. MARLBOROD GIL

( From the Second Edition of the Morning Post.)
PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY
MORNING.

The Marlborough has floated off, and now lies, it
is hoped, uninjured at her moorings in the harbour.
The ship gave a couple of feet about eight o'clock
last evening. At ten o'clock she exhibited fresh
symptoms of motion, and shortly afterwards gave
seven or eight feet.
At 20 minutes after 12 o'clock this morning—
about an hour before high water—she came off in
good style, and was immediately taken in tow by
attendant steam tugs, and brought up at her
mooring.

There was a bright moon last night, and the
operations were 'arried on without difficulty.
It is still believed that some injury to the piles
upon which the ways are built was the cause of the
accident.

Information of the safety of the ship was imme-
diately telegraphed to her Majesty at Osborne.

FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

The Moniteur publishes a further long list of
mayors and deputy-mayors of towns and com-
munes appointed by the Imperial decree in execu-
tion of the law of the sth May last.
The Moniteur publishes the following circular,
of July 27, addressed by the Minister of the Inte-
rior to the Prefects :

" Monsieur le Pr4fet—The Emperor, in his con-
stant solicitude for the brave army which so nobly
maintains in the Crimea the honour of the French
name, has wished that the sums annually employed
by the State in celebrating the solemnity of the
15th August should be this year devoted to assist
the families of those who have fallen before the
enemy. Uniting in this pious idea, the Municipal Coun-
cil of Paris has just decided that it will for this purpose
take 100,000 fr. from the credit which it ordinarily de-
votes to public rejoicings. In France generous ideas
are quickly understood and adopted, and many of our
municipals councils will, I have no doubt, wish to pay
their tribute of sympathy and admiration to our heroic
soldiers. The Government will eagerly accept these
patriotic testimonies, but the fete must not the less be
celebrated in its accustomed manner. You will ar-
range with the Diocesan authorities for a Te Deune
to be sung in all the communes, at which the con-
stituted bodies will be present. You will also
come to an understanding with the military autho-
rity and the principal civil authorities of your de-
partment, in order that the celebration of this na-
tional anniversary shall worthily respond to the senti-
ments of the country. You will particularly take care
that, out of the sums which the municipal administra-
tions may dispose of, the poor shall not be forgotten.
The fete will not he according to the heart of the Em-
peror, if benevolence and charity do not find a place in
it.—Accept, &c., " EILLAULT."

The Nereide frigate left Toulon on July 29, with
troops and stores for the Crimea. The Tonnante
floating battery, and the Darien steam-frigate left
Brest on the 30th for the Black Sea.

A letter from Constantinople of July 19, in the
Courrier de Marseille, says .
" The disturbances caused by the Bashi-Bazouks
are still going on in the neighbourhood of the Dar-
danelles. A body of them even attacked, though with-
out success, a number of unarmed French soldiers of
the 50th regiment of the line, employed at the baking
establishment, which the mutineers wanted to seize o-,
in order to take possession of the bread. One of the
soldiers received a pistol-ball in the arm, the flesh being
furrowed from Ithe wrist to the elbow. It is thought
likely that a body of French troops will be sent to the
town to protect the inhabitants. M. Thouvenel received
on board the Solon yesterday M. Benedetti and all the
Staff of the embassy, and then disembarking proceeded to
the official residence, where everything had been prepared
for his residence. This day, Reouf-Bey, First Secretary
at the office of correspondence in the department of Fo-
reign Affairs, proceeded to Thorapia to compliment the
Ambassador io the name of the Turkish Government. All
the Ministers also called on M. Thouvenel to congratu-
late him on his safe arrival. Two days back the troops
of the Anglo-Turkish contingent were passed in review
by General Vivian ; they went through their evolutions
with considerable precision."

A letter from Kamiesch, of July 16, in the
Presse d'Orient, says :

" The theatre of the 2d Zouaves has not followed the
regiment to the Tchernaya, General Canrobert having
decided that it shall remain at Inkerman. By special
favour the artistes of the 2,1 have received permission to
recruit amongst the Ist to make up the losses sustained
in the affair of the 18th of June. But as General
Bosquet will not allow his men to be deprived of
their theatre, there is a question of establishing
one on the Tchernaya, and the artistes are to play
alternately in one and the other. There is also a rumour
of raising a subscription at Kamiesh for the erection of
a theatre, for the Zouaves to play in."
Letters from Kamiesh state that a part of the
Russian guard had arrived at Sebastopol, as uni-
forms of that corps were found on some of the per-
sons killed in the late conflicts.
