HOSTILE CORRESPONDENCE.

A morning contemporary publishes a correspondence
between Mr. Alfred Hamilton, of Whitehall-gardens, and
the Duke of Somerset. Mr. Hamilton, it would appear,
was introduced to the Duke's apartment on business by
mistake, and not being known by his Grace, was ordered
to withdraw. A correspondence ensued, in which the
Duke expresses surprise at the intrusion of a stranger
on his privacy, and declining further communication
refers Mr. Hamilton to his Grace's solicitor. A hostile
communication follows, and this remaining unanswered,
Mr. Hamilton has forwarded the correspondence to our
contemporary.

COWES CASTLE.—This favourite summer residence of
the late Marquis of Anglesey is, we hear, to be the fu-
ture residence of Royalty. It passed from the "Board
of Ordnance " to the " Board of Inland Revenue," and
last week it was handed over to the " Woods and Fo-
rests." During this week the powder has been removed,
and yesterday the cannons (eight 9-pounders) were dis-
mounted and shipped off. Report says that the Duchess
of Kent will occupy this beautiful marine residence next
summer. The members of the Royal Yacht Squadron
have been very anxious to obtain it for a club-house, and
doubtless would have succeeded in renting or purchasing
it had it not been wanted for a part of the Royal family.

LATEST NEWS.

TRIESTE, SEPT. 27.

We learn by accounts from Constantinople to
the 17th that the Turkish troops in the Crimea,
who had commenced to embark for Asia, have
been sent to Eupatoria, in order to co-operate in
a movement which will be made in the rear of
the Russian army.

Ten vessels with troops on board have already
proceeded to Eupatoria. The Anglo-Turkish con-

tingent which, a few days ago, was ordered to
proceed to the Crimea will now go to Trebizond,
to be placed under the command of Omer Pacha.

The news from Trebizond of the 6th positively
state that the Russians have abandoned the
neighbourhood of Erzeroum and are now at Ma-

laguleiman.

Kars is greatly straitened for provisions. The

garrison is eating horse flesh.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING

The Minister of War has received the following
report from the Intendant-General of the army of
the East :

C Sebastopol, Sept. 11

" Monsieur le Marechal,—The glorious day of the
Bth brought into our ambulances 4,472 wounded French,
of whom 212 are officers, and 554 wounded Russians.
It required all the activity, experience, and devotedness
of the hospital staff placed under my orders for the ser-
vice to be properly performed in such exceptional cir-
cumstances. The removal of the wounded was effected
with all possible promptitude, amidst trenches ploughed
up by a complete storm of projectiles. About 3,000
men were brought in on the Bth. At the left attacks,
where the nature of the ground allowed the mules
to he sent almost on the scene of combat, the re-
mnval was effected very rapidly, but fit was more
difficult on the right, among the deep and almost
ina,cceoible ravines. From that part it was neces-
sary to bring the wounded from a great distance on
litters, end hands were wanting for that pur-
pse. When night came on the combat still con-
tinued, and the last soldiers who fell only reached the
ambulancein the morning of the 9th. By the evening,
all, notwithstanding their great number, had received a
first dressing, and the most urgent operations had been
performed. Our medical men exerted themselves to the
very utmost, and, as it were, multiplied themselves
everywhere. Five among them, MM. Didot, Daga,
Huard, Darcy, and Goinard were wounded. We have
now in our ambulances of the Crimea, 10,520 men, of '
whom 372 are officers. The service is arranged in the
most complete manner, and we effect the removals with-
out precipitation and with the greatest possible regularity.
In anticipation of the events which have taken place, I
had considerably increased the ambulance accommoda-
tion at Kamiesh, and all the surplus number had
been removed thither from the divisional ambulances,
and the latter were consequently able to receive 1,000
wounded men immediately after the combat. The
number of the sick now amounts to 1,500, suitably
installed under wooden huts, and the service is there
perfectly carried on, thanks to the co-operation of
the vice-admiral commanding the squadron, who, at my
request, had placed at my disposal 12 surgeons from the
fleet. MM. Bonduraud and Le Cauchois-Ferand, the
intendants of the Ist and 2d Corps d'Armde, have admi-
rably seconded me, and they bad previously made the
heat arrangements for so doing. Officiers de Sante,
functionaries of the intendance, officers of the adminis-
tration, officers and soldiers of the waggon train, and
hospital assistants have all performed their duties with
the most praiseworthy and complete devotedness, and,
on that day which is so glorious for our arms, the hospi-
tal and the administrative services worthily accomplished
the task confided to them.—l am, &c.,

Prin3e Napoleon, since his return to Paris, has
resumed his series of visits to the different classes
of the Universal Exhibition, that which occupied
his attention at the last visit being the class com-
prising articles in steel. His Imperial Highness
was attended as usual by a number of members of
the International Jury and of the foreign commis-
sioners.

The Moniteur contains decrees promoting 19
lieutenant-colonels to the rank of colonel, and 20
chefs d'escadrons and chefs de batailion to that of
lieutenant-colonel. Another decree confirms 14
promotions to the rank of officer, a'nd 73 nomina-
tions to that of Knight in the Legion of Honour,
made provisionally by Marshal Pelissier.
The Moniteur contains a decree extending the
exemption from the payment of navigation dues
on vessels bringing cargoes of corn, flour, rice,
potatoes, and dry vegetables, from the 31st Decem-
ber 1855, to the same date of 1856.
M. Pacheco, Minister of Mexico, has written to
the Pays to say that it is an error to suppose,
as some newspaper writers have done, that the
recent revolutionary movements in that coun-
try prepare the way for its annexation to the
United States. " Whatever may be the changes
that take place in Mexico," he declares, " they
will always be of a national character ; no one
thinks of annexation to the United States, and no
party for such a purpose has ever existed."
