THE MEDITERRANEAN.

AhRSEILLES, Jan. 11.—The following British
and French steamers are now waiting in the port
of the Joliette to receive troops from the Crimea,
but the troops are not ready. The Vulcan British
steam frigate the Tamar, Alps, Rhone, Hydaspes,
and Ripon , the French sailing frigate, Psyche, the
transport Giraffe, and the French steamers, La
France, Byzantin, Assyrien, and several transports.
The British captains complain of the great loss of
time, but they are consoled with the excuse that
they are detained to convey the portion of the
Imperial Guard to embark for the Crimea, and
which are impatiently expected at Marseilles.
The British steamer Jura sailed on Tuesday
morning for Constantinople with a battalion and
the staff of the 49th regiment. The Jura had been
waiting here since the 27th of December. The
Thabor brought about 100 wounded soldiers, who
were carefully looked after on their arrival, and
those who were unable to walk were carried on
stretchers to the military hospitals. General Res-
tolan, the commander-in-chief, is most attentive to
the sick and wounded. On the arrival of every
steamer from the East, he either rides down to
the port or sends an aide-de-camp to receive the
invalids. A. fatigue party is likewise in waiting
on the quay, with a number of stretchers. Among
the wounded arrived are several amputated and
some who have had a leg frozen. They describe the
cold as very intense during the night. In con-
sequence of the numerous assassinations which had
taken place lately at Constantinople, a military
police had been established by the French,and their
soldiers patrolled the streets day and night. A pri-
vate letter from Trebizonde, of the 21st Deo.,states,
on the authority of a Persian traveller arrived from
Tauris, that the Russian corps which it was sup-
posed had evacuated Bayazid, had returned there,
after having made an excursion during three days
in the direction of Erivan. It is said that the
British Consul at Trebizonde had protested against
the conduct of the Pasha Governor, who had re-
fused to permit the exportation of wheat, flour,
and barley, in violation of the order issued by the
Grand Vizier at Constantinople, permitting the
free exit of such produce. The population of Sam-
soun and Trebizonde, whose interests were con-
siderably injured by the prohibition decreed by
their Pasha, were impatiently waiting the result of
the British Consul's protest.

A letter from Toulon, received this morning,
states that the repairs of the ship of the line
Charlemagne had been completed, and the Fleurus
had taken her place in the dockyard. A battalion
of the 18th Light Infantry had arrived for embar-
kation to join the army of the East. The ship of
the line Duporre had sailed for the Crimea, having
on board 24 officers and 932 non-commissioned
officers and privates of the 14th of the line.
