TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 26th ult., in
the Courrier de Marseille of the 6th inst., says—
" Our city assumes every day an extraordinary ap-
pearance. The works of the camp of the army of reserve
are progressing rapidly. The streets are filled with
military uniforms, officers, intendants, interpreters, and
soldiers, moving backward and forward with incredible
activity. Everything we see affords us convincing proof
of the powerful organisation of the French army. Troops
have already arrived for the camp of Malasq. I can
give you to-day the composition of the army of reserve,
which, as I mentioned in a former letter, will probably
operate with the Piedmontese division in Bessarabia.
The camp will consist of three divisions of infantry
(one of which will be the Imperial Guard), of a division
of Cavalry, and of a numerous Artillery—viz.,
"Imperial Guard.-4 battalions of Grenadiers, 2,400
men ; 4 battalions of Voltigeurs, 2,400 men, and 1 of
Foot Chasseurs, 600 men.
"First Division.-Ist brigade, 14th battalion of Foot
Chasseurs, 800 men ; 42d and 57th Regiments, 3,600
men ; 2d brigade. 62d and 73d Regiments, 3,600 men.
"Second Division-Ist brigade, 7th battalion of Foot
Chasseurs, 800 men ; 9th and 32d Regiments, 3,600
men.

"Cavalry.—Guides of the Guard, 600 men ; 2 regi-
ments of Cuirassiers, now at Adrianople, 800 men.
"Artillery.-2 batteries of the Guard, 500 men ;3d
battery of the 10th Regiment, 2'49 men ; 2d battery of
the Bth Regiment, 249 men ; 3d battery of the 12th
Regiment, 249 men ; 14th battery of the 13th Regi-
ment, 249 men.

Engineers—One company and a-half of the Guard and
cne ditto of the Line.

" We expect shortly two regiments of Chasseurs
d'Afrique, but those troops are not to remain at Con-
stantinople, our generals requiring them in the Crimea,
where they have only a small cavalry force to oppose
the numerous Russian cavalry. The English army will
soon be in a most efficient state. It has received large
reinforcements, and then perfectly cured daily leave our
hospitals for the -Crimea. Yesterday 300 embarked in
the Medway for Balaklava."
