"A letter from Kamiesh of the Bth of January says :
The batteries of mortars of the French army cause

Bth division of the army in the East, arrived at Constan-
tinople on the 7th; on board the English vessel Andes,
and left on the 9th for the Crimea.
" General Faucheux, Sly ho commands a brigade of the

rial packet-boat Sinai.

" iliza Pasha, the Ottoman Minister of War has been

other articles for the Crimea. Ahmed Pasha, who com-
mands the Turkish squadron in the Black Sea, was to
sail on the 11th or 12th on board the Feizi-Bahri ; the
flotilla of steam-boats under his orders will take in tow
sailing-vessels laden with troops at Varna. Vassif

The Moniteur gives the following account of the
presentation to the Emperor of the flags taken
at Touggourt :—" The Minister of War yesterday
presented to the Emperor the Arab deputation,
charged to present to his Majesty the flags taken
from the enemy in the recent expedition of Toug-
gourt. One of these flags is stained with the blood
of the intrepid soldier, who, after a hand-to-hand
conflict, succeeded in wresting this trophy from the
Arab who carried it. The Emperor presented the
Cross of the Legion of Honour to Lieutenant Con-
stant drYanvilre, the first French officer who en-
tered Touggourt, as also to Ahmed Ben Amraoui,
a sharpshooter of the battalion of Constantina.
This native, who was wounded in 1851, in Kabylia,
took two of the flags from the Choikh of Touggourt.
Two other Arabs,Khalet Ben Dif, a soldier of the
3d regiment of Spahis, and Ahmed Ben Zourzour,
a soldidr of the goum of the Saharis, received the
military medal from the hands of his Majesty.
Each of them had taken a flag from the Cherif."
An imperial decree, dated the 20th, authorises
the Caisse de Service de la Boulangerie to borrow,
to an amount not exceeding the sum of 6,000,000 f.,
the funds necessary for continuing the service with
which it is charged. This service is to pay the
bakers the difference between the cost price of flour
and the reduced rate at which they sell bread to
the public. The decree enacts that the loan shall
be made in the same manner as that of 24,000,000 f.
already authorised by decree of Jan. 18, 1854.
Dr. Comarmond, the conservator of antiquities

tings and excavations about to be made for forming
conduits and canals, and for the underground pas-
sage of the Lyons Railway.
