FRANCE.

Despatches reached Paris on Thursday, dated
Camp near Sebastopol, Jan. 20th :—General Can-
robert had been again. applied to by Lord Raglan
for more relieving troops. The French "having
already supplied us with a force which spared the
English army 1,000 men at the siege operations,
General Canrobert had replied that, with every
desire to raider all assistance possible, he could
not further impoverish his own army. he also
observed that he did not consider it economy to
work his men so hard as the English soldier was
worked, and, therefore, when. the English Com-
mander-in-Chief asked for a supply of men to re-
place 500 English, he should consider it necessary
to send 1,500 at least of his own troops.
Omer Pacha was expected at the camp. The
Turkish army was being placed in a position ac-
cording to the plans of the Allied generals. The
allied generals have ascertained that a largo extent
of fertile plain land exists at no very great dis-
tance from the camp which is not occupied by the
enemy.

It -has already been proved that our new siege
material, when employed, would realise the expec-
tations of the ongineerino. officers.
All things considered, the French army was in
good condition, and full of enthusiasm. Our own
is also reported to have slightly improved, and
every day was adding newcomforts, and supplying
material so long wanted.
The Moniteur contains two Imperial decrees con-
firming 34 promotions to the rank of officers iu the
Legion of Honour, and 207 appointments as che-
valiers, made by General Canrobert, in the army
of the East, and also confirming the act of the
General in conferring 578 military medals in the
same army.

The third list of subscriptions for the army of
the East, published by the Minister of War, shows
that the total of the sums received is 384,523 fr.
Gen. Beuret and his staff took their departure
on the 30th ult. from Marseilles for Constantinople
in the Euphrate.
The Monitettr publishes a report from Capt. de
COlomb to the Minister of War, giving a detailed
account of the engagement, which lately took place
between the troops under his command and some
Arabs, near Figuig, the result of which has been
already made known by telegraph.
The Memorial des Pyrenees announces that Gon.
Bosquet, who is a native of that part of France,
has been presented by Omer Pacha with a magni-
ficent. Arab horse, to replace one which had been
killed under him. It says also that some wine-
producers of Jurancon and Gran have resolved to
present the General with a hundred bottles of the
best wines of tho country.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLB, Jai'. 22.—The passage of the
Russians at Tultcha, and the capture of that place
with its garrison of 220 Turks, have excited the
greatest surprise here. Ministerial councils and
conferences with the representatives of the Allied
Powers are daily taking place, for the purpose. of
counteracting the diversion 'in the Dobrudseha.
On the 20th a note was communicated by the Porte,
demanding the immediate expedition of the French
ninth division, which has just arrived, to arrest
the march of the enemy. Our latest news from
Sehumla is of the 18th. Omer Paella had arrived
there, after visiting Kusten ljo and Mongolia. On
the 12th, Sodik: P.Acha, with his brigade of light,
cavalry, and Hurshid Paella with three battalions
of regulars, loft for Babadagli, via Chernoroda,
whore it is supposed the Russians had made their
appearance. This diversbn on the part of General
Gortschakoff Las partially succeeded. Omer Paella
will be detained for some time, and theoperations of
the Crimea will be partially damaged thereby, as the
Turks are expected to march from Eupatoria, by
the Alma, and invest the north side of Sebastopol.
The passage of the Danube by the Russians seals
the doom of Austrian influence here. The Turks
look on the Internuncio with the most unfeigned
disgust for having fed them with false assurances
about the retreat of the enemy. Why is Odessa
spared? This question is daily put hero. The
presence of the allied fleets near that part of the
Black Sea, or in the roadsted of that port, will
soon bring the Muscovites to their senses. If we
fight the common enemy, let us de it, and Rot con-
fine operations to certain localities. The next
Varna steamer is expected to bring down great
news. If Austria is in earnest, in lieu of listening
to the false peace assurances of that crafty diplo-
matist Gortschakoff, slie.will cross the Pruth, and,
by co-operating in straightforward style, force
Russia to come to terms such as will insure Euro-
pean tranquillity..
The military preparations of the Turkish Govorp-
meat still continue to bo concerted on a vast scale.
