of his solicitude, and to prepare still more the successes
which, believe me, shortly await your energetic perse-
verance.
"In leaving the exalted position where circumstances
and the will of the Sovereign had placed me, and where
you maintained me in the midst of severe trials by your
warlike virtues and that confiding devotion with which
you never ceased to honour me, Ido not separate myself
from you ; the happiness of taking a closer share in
your glorious fatigues and your noble labours has been
granted to me, and it is together, under the skilful and
firm guidance of the new Commander-in-Chief, that we
will continue to fight for France and for the Emperor.

"Head-quarters before Sebastopol, May 19."
The Patrie publishes the following telegraphic
despatch from St. Petersburg :
"During his yisit to Cronstadt, the Emperor Alexan•
`der received a deputation of the inhabitants, to whom
he addressed an allocution, which be concluded as fol-
lows ;—‘ Pray the Almighty to grant us peace, and trade
will flourish again.'"
A private letter from Brussels, dated yesterday,
states as follows
- -

"The King of Sweden has positively refused to take)
an active part in the war against Russia. He alleges
the want of sufficient guarantees as the reason against his
rushing into a war of conquest and aggrandisement. For
Sweden to give co-operation it would be nescessary for
England and France to bind themselves by a treaty of
10 years at least to leave at her disposal a force always
ready to repel every attack on the part of Russia. It
is said that the refusal of the King is owing to the in-
fluence of Prussia, an influence which has much increased
for some time past at the Court of Stockholm. It is
certain that the Sovereigns of Prussia and Sweden are
the best friends, and they carry on a very cordial cor-
respondence.
" I have already informed you that the Belgian
Government has been more complying. Except in the
event of formal opposition on the part of the Chain-
' hers, the Belgian Government will furnish a contingent
of 20,000 men.
" I am informed that Generals Rudiger and Paniutine,
of the corps of grenadiers, are positively named to the
command of the Russian armies of the centre and west,
and which are, as you are aware, placed under the supe-
rior orders of Marshal Paskiewitch."
A detachment of 242 non-commissioned officers
and soldiers of the sth squadron of the military

The Emperor has received, at a private audience,
M. Pedro Moncayo, Charge d'Affaires at Paris, of

The King of Portugal yesterday received the
