PARIS, FRIDAY.

The most important item in the news from

Turkey is that a strong Russian division is march-
ing on Erzeroum, and that 'all the disposable
Turkish forces in Anatolia are hastening towards
the same place.
General Canrobert has arrived.

THE INDIA MAILS.
SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.

The screw steam-transport Alster arrived at
this port this morning from the . Black Sea,
bringing with. her the heavy portion of the India
mails, for some days overdue, by the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steam-ship Sultan.

The delay of the , Sultan is caused by having
broken a crank pin when nearing Gibraltar, and
as it required some little time to repair, the mails
were forwarded by this conveyance. The Sultan
was expected to leave Gibraltar for Southampton
to-day, and has on board 67 passengers, and an

average amount of cargo.

Advices from Konigsberg state. that when the
attack on Sweaborg began the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, immediately informed by telegraph of
the event, demanded leave to go out and attack
the reduced fleet before Cronstadt. The Empe-
ror refused.

VIENNA, AUG. 15.

Accounts from Constantinople of the 9th state
that the insurrectional movement at Tripoli causes
uneasiness to the Porte. Two regiments have
been embarked to put it down.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.
MARSEILLES, Aug. 14.--The mail steamer Indus,
which sailed from Constantinople the 6th instant,
arrived at 10 this morning. She brought Generals
Canrobert and Saucier, and 200 invalids from the
Crimea. Some of them were badly wounded, and
were conveyed to the military hospital on stretchers.
General Canrobert remained in his private cabin
until the few persons who assembled to see the pas-
sengers land had-dispersed. He then stepped ashore,
the Indus having been moored to the quay. Having
declined all military honours, he drove to the
Hotel des Empereurs, where he breakfasted in the
public: coffee-room. He appeared cheerful, and
in much better health than one might expect from
his long stay in the Crimea and his severe winter
campaign. He sailed from Marseilles for Constan-
tinople in March, 1854.
An awkward accident occurred on Sunday after-
noon to the steamer Hammonia, nominally British,
but manned almost exclusively by Germans. .She
was going out of port, heavily laden with shot, shell,
and cavalry horses. She was to have towed the
British transport Northfleet, having numerous de-
tachments of infantry, cavalry, and artillery on
board. -By some accident one of the Hammonia's
mooring chains got twisted round her screw and she
found it impossible to move either backward or
forward. She has thus remained fixed for 48 hours,
all the attempts made to remove the chain
from her screw haVing failed. It will ap-
pear incredible in England, where every facility
exists to repair, accidents, when it is' known
that in a port like Marseilles, two vessels laden
with valuable reinforcements for the army in the
Crimea are prevented from sailing by so trifling a
cause. Preparations are at length being nr, de to
land with rafts the horses in the Hammonia, and
the Argo is getting up her steam to tow the North-
fleet. One advantage has resulted to the troops
from the accident. It was found that the soldiers
were too clonely packed in the Northfleet, and a
number of them have been removed to the frigate
Vulcan.

Numerous detachments of troops continue to
arrive daily ; among them 300 of the 3d Regiment
of engineers, and 150 of the 2d of the same arm—
two detachments of the 35th, 53d, and 61st in-
fantry. The detachment of the 53d, 400 strong,
arrived from Auxerre, in Burgundy. They are to
be incorporated with the 19th, in the Crimea.
They are very young soldiers, having joined only
four months since. They are, however, hardy,
healthy-looking youths, and appear to be animated
with the best spirit. They saw the sea for the first
time with great admiration.
