his place. The people might murmur, the army I
might perish, but the will of the Earl of ABER-
DEEN must be respected. There is something ab-
solutely revolting in this ; we rather shrink from
the thought of, than speak in anger against, the
individual guilty of it. For, after all, the case of
a man, who lacks courage to perform a public
duty with resolution is better than his who ap-
pears to have steeled himself to utter insensi-
bility to the claims of any but himself and his
satellites. We need not proceed further. Be-
tween the two, millions have been wasted and
thousands of lives have been needlessly expended.
So much evil can be effected by irresolution on
the one hand, and resolution on the other.

PARIS, MONDAY EVMTING.
After divine service yesterday, Mgrs. de Bonne-

Bishops of Evreux, Carcassonne, and Quimper
were presented to the Emperor by the Minister of
Public Worship, and took the usual oath. The
Minister having pronounced the formnia, " I swear
obedience to the Constitution and fidelity to the
Emperor," the three prelates advanced successively
towards his Majesty, who was seated in the Throne-
room, surrounded by the great officers of his house-
hold, and, putting their hands into his, said, " I
swear it," and they afterwards signed the minutes
of the ceremony. The Emperor, after having com-
plimented the new bishops, received the grand
vicars who accompanied them, and then retired.
According to a statement of semi-official cha-
racter, 182,600 French troops have been sent out
to the Crimea and Turkey since the commencement
of the war. Of these 120,000 are now available ;
the remaining number represents, besides the
casualties and the deaths by ordinary mortality,
the sick and wounded now in hospital.
In consequence of the fete of Pentecost (Whit-

ceived by electric telegraph from the Crimea.

On Saturday last Prince Menschikolf arrived in
this city by the railroad from Moscow, and the next
day had an audience of the Emperor.
In the present dearth of soldiers, which is begin-
ning to be most sensibly felt, the Emperor has
favourably listened to a proposal made by the Go-
vernor-General of Caucasus for embodying the irre-
gular corps of Tartars and Bobyles, inhabiting the
provinces of Orenburg, Samara, Wiatka, and Perm.
Count Peroffsky is empowered to organise and em-
body the nomadic hordes of the Bashkirs and
Tartars of the Steppes into regular military colo-
' hies, giving each family thirty dessatines of land
belonging to the domains of the crown.
Another party, consisting oflB sisters of charity,
# left this yesterday by the railroad to Moscow, en
route for the Crimea, where they have volunteered
their services as nurses on the sick and wounded

of the fortifications on the coasts on either side
of the Gulph of Finland, and at other ports in
the Baltic. In the rear of the batteries at Revel
earthworks have been thrown up, and upwards of •
100 guns of large calibre added to those which were
there previously. Off Sweaborg and Helsingfors,
on every position liable to an attack, 1-atteries have
been erected, every precaution taken to prevent
the landing of troops irom the allied fleets, and
measures adopted for the most vigorous resistance
to the operations of the combined forces of Eng-
land and France, who, in order to gain any im-
portant advantage over the enemy, have now a
difficult task to perform, but which it is to be hoped
will, nevertheless, be speedily undertaken.
