on the subject of the document which it has lately
published relative to the proposed attempt at in-
surrection in Spain:— .
"Monsieur le Redacteur,—lt was only on my arri-
val to-day in Paris that I heard of a letter which you had
published on the subject of a conversation which' I was
said to have bad with Prince Go•rtschakoff at Vienna.
It is perfectly true that on going from Naples to Vienna,
whither I was called on business connected with the
interests of Mine. des Cars, Count de Montemolino did
me the honour to charge, me with a letter to deliver to
Prince Gortschakoff. That was the only object of my
visit to the Prince, The Count de Chambord and the
Duke de Levis were completely strangers to the affair,
and whatever may have been the purely non-official part
which I took in the matter, I formally repel the inten-
tions which have been attributed to me, and energe-
tically protest against the insinuations expressed in the
concluding part of your article, as being as far from my
heart as from the truth. I hope, sir, that you will give
this letter insertion, and beg you to accept, etc.

"J. blots CARS."
It may be as well to state, in explanation of the
part of the above letter, relating to the interests
of Mme. Des Cars, that that lady was Mlle. de
Lebzeltern, whose father was Anibassador of Aus•
trim at Naples for many years, dating from 1830.
The Jupiter ship of the line left Marseilles on
the Gth for the East, with 997 men on board. The
Alexandre steam-packet took her departure the
tame day for Constantinople, with 460 men, be-
longing to the engineers, on board. The Valmy
line-of-battle ship and the Uranie frigate left
Toulon the day after with troops, provisions, and
ammunition for the Crimea.

The Constantinople coriespondent of the Sema-
phore of Marseilles, in speaking of the new Turkish
ambassador to Paris, says :—" I think that Me-
hemet Bey will please Parisian society. He is a
well. made man of about 80, and of pleasing physi-
ognomy, speaks French well, and unites to a Eu-
ropean education the tact of an Oriental diplo-
matist." The following are the names of the gen-
tlemen connected with the new Turkish embassy :
—Riza Bey, first councillor of embassy ; Agop,
second ditto ; Server Effendi and Blacque, secre-
taries ; Omer Effendi, second secretary ; Sefels,
Naum, and Paul Mangs, attaches ; and Chauvin,
chancellor.

A letter from Kamiesh of the 110th ult., in the
Moniteur de la Flotte, says :
" Malakoff commands all the lower part of Sebastopol,
and dominates the passage of the Bay of lakermann,
by which the town obtains its supplies from the north
side. When this tower falls into our hands, we shall be
able to sweep the Bay, burn the Russian fleet, bombard
the lower town, and almost immediately after instal
ourselves in the latter, for it can there no longer be held
by the Russians. From the Malakoff tower, besides,
we can silence the Fort Constantine, destroy the stock-
ade, and open the port to our vessels. The Russians
know that well—as well as we do ; add hence the terrible
energy which is displayed on both sides in forming ap-
proaches, and in the partial combats which are renewed
almost every night. Our newly-constructed batteries are
really most formidable—especially those of Quarantine
Bay, and of what we call the Bay des Calfats, which are
armed with guns of the largest calibre, and which are
destined to force the Russian fleet to seek a refuge be-
hind Fort Catherine, the sole place where they will be
unable to injure us. The Russians multiply their sorties;
sometimes it is the English, but more frequently our-
selves, who have the honour of receiving them, and ac-
companying them on their return. One fact worthy of
remark, which proves how much the siege of Sebastopol
has already cost Russia in men, is that the prisoners
whom we make almost always wear new uniforms. This
circumstance causes us to believe that all the army of
the Crimea must have been employed in the defence of
the place."
