EUPATORIA.

Letters from Eupatoria, received at Constanti-
nople on the 18th ult., state that Omer Pasha was
then at the head of 42,000 excellent troops. The
remainder were shortly expected. Several large
English steamers, placed at the disposal of the
Turkish Generalissimo, were then at Bourgas and
Baltschik. The Jason, Semele, Kangaroo, Nubia,
Simoom, and Industry were loading in those ports
cavalry and artillery horses. It was hoped that,
on the Ist of March, the entire Ottoman army
would be assembled at Eupatoria.

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Moniteur publishes the following letter
addressed by the Emperor Napoleon to Lord
Elgin, thanking his lordship, for communicating
to his Majesty the address of the Canadian Le-
gislature to Queen Victoria, expressing their
satisfaction at the news of the battle of Alma,
and soliciting the permission to contribute to
the Patriotic Fund for the relief of the wounded of
both the allied armies :

My Lord—l thank you for having communicated to
me the address of the Legislative Council and of the
Legislative Assembly of Canada to the Queen of Eng-
land. It would be difficult to express in a more patriotic
anc more touching manner the ardent wishes of these
bodies for the success of our arms in the East, and their
regret at the misfortunes inseparable from this great
struggle. Our country, you may be assured being moved
like myself with the eloquent testimony of suck lively
sympathy, will not see, without being grateful, that the
people of Canada, at the remembrance of its French
origin, could not separate in its congratulations and in
its offerings those persons whom the community of
dangers so nobly unite. Be kind enough to express to
the Legislative Council and to the Legislative Assembly
of Canada my sentiments, as well as those of France,
which I believe myself to convey to you.—Accept, my
lord, the assurance of my high esteem.
"NAPOLEON.

" Palace of the Tuileries, Feb. 27."
Should any accident occur to the Emperor on
his way to the army, or before Sebastopol, the
position of that power as regards Russia would be
very critical indeed.
A personage, writing from Vienna, says—
" In case of a catastrophe before Sebastopol or in the
Black Sea, how can we be sure that we shall not have
to do with the Republic, or with trenri V.? We have
made treaty of alliance with the Emperor of the French
against Russia. If he disappear from the scene the Re-
publican Government would be opposed to us, and
would revolutionise our own Stateq, and Henry V., sup-
posing him to be on the throne of France, would be the
ally of Russia rather than of Austria in this present
cause."
A very important military measure has just been
decided on by the French Government. It is well
known that the third battalion of each of the hun-
dred regiments of infantry of the French army
forms the depot, and that it consists of two com-
panies of picked men—one of grenadiers, the other
the light infantry company. These two hundred
companies are about to be raised to one hundred
men each. The 20,000 men d'eiite, thus obtained,
are to be sent to Paris, and are to form two divi-
sions of 10,000 men each--one of grenadiers, the
