The Moniteur also publishes the following :--
"The Marshal commanding the Eastern Division of
;he Army and the Ist Military Division has received the
bllowing letter from the Minister of War :
" 'Paris, Aug, 25.
"`Marshal,—The Emperor authorises me to tell you
,hat her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain was very
touch satisfied with the ensemble of the review held yes-
terday in the Chamn de Mars.
" The sight of your brilliant army reminded her Bri-
tannic Majesty of that other French army the colours of
which are united fraternally with the colours of England
on the enemy's soil, and the blood of which has cemented
on the field of battle the imperishable alliance of the two
countries.
" The fine appearance of the troops under your com-
mand, the precision of the manceuvres executed, the
ardour of all, struck her Majesty, and she feels con-
vinced that if in its turn this army is called upon to
fight for the common cause, it will show itself a worthy
competitor of that which has already achieved so much
glory in the Crimea.
" I have great pleasure in communicating to yen
this expression of satisfaction.
" Accept, Marshal, the assurance of my very high
satisfaction " ' Minister War,
" VAILLANT.' "
The Emperor steamer and the Lady Russell
transport loft Marseilles on Thursday for the East,
the former with 200 men and 270 horses on board,
and the latter with 1,200 men and 70 horses.
A letter from Marseilles of the 24th says :—" The
movement of troops, considerable as it has been of
late, is now assuming infinitely more considerable
proportions. The Ist Regiment of the line which
has just arrived here is to leave at once, and is to
form part of the new corps which is being concen-
trated at Constantinople. Detachments each of
180 men, of the sth, 66th, 67th, 833, and 88th of
the line are expected here this day. These detach-
ments are all composed of volunteers selected from
a far greater number who offered to go. To-morrow
it will be the turn of detachments of the 13th, 16th,
19th, 223, 38th, 78th, and 87th of the line. We
also understand that there is some idea of sending
out a brigade formed of two regiments of lancers,
to be embarked at this port."
The Prince of Orange arrived at Malta on the
14th, on board the Dutch frigate Doggersbank,
with his governor and suite, and was saluted on
landing by the Ceylon and Fort St. Angelo. His
Highness is to visit the principal ports of the Me-
diterranean for his instruction.

General M'Mahon arrived at Malta on the 15th,
on board the Thabor, on his way to the Crimea,
where he is to replace Genetal Canrobert.
A letter from Tripoli of the 14th, in the Moni-
teur, says :

" The last accounts received state that Ghouma,
the chief of the insurrectionary movement, has not
laid siege to Tripoli, as was feared. Different causes
have compelled him to delay his projects ; among others,
the want of increasing his supplies of provisions, and the
necessity of curing a wound which he received, and
which bad become so irflamed that mortification was
dreaded. This state of things is favourable to the Turks,
although Ghouma retains all his influence over the tribes
of the desert, which he has acquired by his bravery and
indefatigable energy. Since the commencement of the
outbreak he has taken no rest, and, although upwards
of 65 years of age, remains almost all day on horseback.
'He 13 now at the Chateau of Djebel. Ghouma continu-
ally maintains the same line of policy, offering to collect
and pay the tax to the Regency, on condition that he
and his family should be exonerated from all tenure and
service, and that an Imperial finnan shall secure to him
the functions of Lieutenant-General. The Pacha is con-
centrating all the forces he can muster, in order to pre-
vent a surprise. 1,400 men have already arrived from
Constantinople, with artillery ard ammunition, and
others are expected."

RUSSIA.
A letter from St. Petersburg of the 16th, in the
Constitutionnel, says :
" The Portuguese envoy, M. de Villarelal, has had
the honour of being received by their Majesties and by
the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael. All the Russian
journals are filled with news about the approaching ar-
rival of the Queen of England at Paris. It is now consid-
ered that the duration of the alliance between France and
England, cemented by such proofs of cordiality between
the two nations and the two Sovereigns, cannot be
doubted, and Russian statesmen have lost the hope of
ever being able to sow dissension between the Western
Allies. The more close the alliance becomes, the more
grave is considered the prolongation of the present war.
The Russians now rem' the verse from Holy writ, so
often quoted by the late Czar in his manifestoes—' God
will punish the aggressor and they ask now whether
the chastisement has not commenced. Where,' they
ask, ' are the IVlentschikoffs, the Korniloffs, the Nachi-
moffs, and so many others who brought about this ter-
rible war ? Is not Prince Gortschakoff pursued with
ill-fortunes ? Is he not as unfortunate at Sebastopol as
he was in the Principalities ? In Asia, Beboutoff and
Andronikoff are gone, and Mouravieff does nothing.' It
must also be acknowledged that the blockade has ruined
commerce, and that wheat, formerly worth 15f. has
now fallen to 2f. The Emperor has conferred upon
Generals Bonin and Makioukine the order of St. Stanis-
lane of the let class. It is generally believed here that
Revel will be shortly bombarded."
The _Hamburg News publishes the following
from St. Petersburg of the 10th :
"The want of officers is beginning to be so much felt
in the army that the Government is obliged to resort to
all sorts of methods to fill up the existing vacancies.
Last year the scholars of the military schools were
allowed to enter the army upon leaving school, and later
still greater advantages were given them. The students
of the colleges of St. Petersburg and Moscow who have
obtained the degree of candidate, and gone thrcngh
a prescribed state of military study, can be immediately
gazetted to infantry or cavalry regiments as officers.
The students of the academies can enter the army as
non-commissioned officers; nobles can he passed a- offi-
cers at the end of six months, and others after any time,
according to their capacity. The period of service in
the reserve is also much shortened. Besides this, the
students of physics and mathematics from the ur iversi-
ties of Moscow and St. Petersburg can be admitted into
the artillery as officers, on passing an examination to
that effect."

enemy in the open field ; but if it does honour to 'at,
courage of our troops it does not testify less to your ex-
cellent arrangements. Address my congratulations to
the army, and receive them also for yourself. Tell those
brave soldiers who for more than a year have supported
unheard-of fatigues that the end of their trials is not far
distant. Sebastopol, I hope, will soon fall under their
blows ; and, should that event be postponed, I know
from sources which I believe to be sure, that the Rus-
sian army cannot maintain the struggle in the Crimea
during the winter. The glory achieved in the Crimea
has moved your companions in arms in France ; they -1,1
eagerly desire to share your dangers. Thus, with the
double wish of respondir g to their noble desire, and of
procuring rest for those who have already done so much,
I have given orders to the Minister of War that all the
regiments that have remained in France shall go out
gradually to take the place of those that return. You
know, General, how much it has grieved me to he kept
away from that army which has added a new lustre to
our eagles ; but now my regret is lessened, as you hold
out to me the prospect of a speedy and decisive success
which will crown so many heroic efforts.
"General, I pray God to have you in his safe keeping.

" NAPOLEON."

The Moniteur also publishes the following :
" The Queen of England has charged Lord Clarendon,
her Minister for Foreign Affairs, to address to the Pre-
fect of the Seine the expression of the sentiments of her
Majesty at the reception she has received from the city
of Paris.

" St. Cloud, Aug. 24.
"Mousier le Pr6fet, —The Queen has commanded
me to express to you, and to the municipal body
her sincere thanks for the fete given to her yester-
day. The scale of magnificence of the arrangements,
the splendour of the building, and the courtesy of the
numerous guest© have made a lasting impression upon
the mind of the Queen, and will be always present to
her memory as one of the most agreeable incidents of
her visit to Paris.

" 'ln replying to the address which the Queen has
received with so much satisfaction from the municipal
body, her Majesty assures you M. le Pr4fet, that she
can never forget the reception she has met with from
the population of Paris ; she desires to renew the assur-
ances of her deep gratitude for the warm expressions of
sympathy with which she was everywhere welcomed on
her passage when, with her illustrious ally and friend,
the visited the numerous edifices in which' are collected
with so much profusion the remembrances of the suc-
cesses of the French nation in the arts, sciences, and
war.

•• 'But the satisfaction and gratefulness of the Queen
are still more increased by the conviction that her own
subjects share the benevolent manifestations of which
she has been the object. She beholds therein the ratifi-
cation given by France to the alliance which now exists
not only between the Sovereigns but between the people
of the two countries. She is convinced that the two
nations who have learned reciprocally to appreciate each
other in a war undertaken for a cause at the same time
just and equitable, and who are now rivals no longer,
except for the attainment of the common object they
have in view, will remain always united by the bonds of
interests which have become henceforth inseparable.
This union has been the ardent wish of the Queen's
heart, and her visit to the magnificent capital of Franco
has inspired her Majesty with a deep personal interest
for the welfare of that great nation.
