TYIE WAR.

THE FRENCH AT ADRIANOPLE.
Since the 26th of last month, says a letter from
Adrianople, July 3, the French troops have begun
their march to Bourgas, on the Black Sea, 2,000
or 3,000 infantry and cavalry leaving at a time.
The artillery, also, will soon leave. To-morrow
the last detachment starts, and only 400 or 500
Inen will Jemain in camp here. A great amount
of provisions, ammunition, and stores remains.

THE E.
Letters from Bucharest DANstUnteß that Prince Gorts-
chs.koff had fixed the stations of the Wallachian
bulitia, intending to employ them against the
forces of their lawful Sovereign and his allies.
The Ist and 2d battalions were to remain at Bu-
charest, the 3d to occupy Busea, and the artillery
The
to join the Russian brigade at ITrsteeni.
Lloyd of Vienna states that, during the
march of a Corp of Russian troops between Bu-
charest and Kimpina, the heat was so excessive that
the soldiers fell on the road from fatigue, and a
number of men were attacked with cerebral con-
gestion. Out of 6,000 men who left Bucharest,
1)1113r about one-half had reached their destination.

ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN THE RELEASE OF
THE CREW OF THE TIGER.
On the 10th, says a telegraphic despatch, dated
'Vien
,r
na, Tuesday evening, an English steamer ar-
rived at Odessa with 13 Russian officers and 200
krivates, to (le exchanged against the crew of the
Iliger- As the Russian Government had only
given permission to exchange eight officers, it was
not known whether the Governor of Odessa would
on his own responsibility liberate the other five.

USSIAN REGULATION FOR EXCHANGE
OF PRISONERS.
The following regulation has been published at
St. Petersburg "
It has pleased his Majesty the Emperor to ordain
that the following rules shall be observed in all exchanges
of prisoners of war. First, in case the Turkish general
should propose an exchange of prisoners of war, only
Turks by birth shall be exchanged against Russians.
Second, should the proposition emanate from the com-
mander of the French troops, the exchange can only be
/Dade with respect to prisoners French by birth ; and
in like manner, should the English commander make
such a proposition; only Englishmen by birth can be ex-
changed for Russians.'
This order is, of course, aimed at the few foreign-
trs who, from Omer Pacha downwards, have rank
in the Ottoman army, and comes with admirable
propriety from a man whose best generals,are Ger-
Mans, and whose best troops are kidnapped Poles,
Circassian, Georgians, and Tartars.

PREHENSION OF AN OUTBREAK AT
ST. PETERSBURG.
The Vienna Presse states, on the authority of
travellers arrived from St. Petersburg, that more
than three hundred young men, nobles, students,
and merchants, have been arrested. They have
been told that there is no charge against them, but
that their opinions were known, and that the Go-
vernment was resolved to omit no salutary pre-
caution. The Government is apprehensive of some
explosion of popular discontent.

THE BLACK SEA.
We make the following extracts from a letter
dated Badout-Kaleh, Georgia, June 24 :
" Here we are, at the scene of our old operations. We
left the fleet on the Bth, and it is thought we shall be
here a good while to co-operate with the Sampson. We
Steamed to Varna to receive orders, the two Admirals
then being there. We only remained a couple of hours,
and did not go ashore. We had intended calling at
Sinope on our passage to complete with coal, but such a
splendid westerly 10-knot breeze came on that the idea
Was given up. When this left us we had again recourse
to steam, and on the 12th the Caucasus peaks showed
themselves sharp against the grey of the morning. On
wour arrival we found that seven officers of the Sampson
ere laid up with ague, and they continue so, not
pecting to get rid of it until they leave this place.
When the Sanspareil was here she had some cases
of it, and also suffered from scurvy. In truth, Redout-
Xaleh has rather a feverish, agueish look, situate, as
it is, upon the low marshy land between the Caucases
range and the mountains near Batoum. The Sanspa-
reil has now returned to the fleet ; her coming here
,Was rather opportune, as a day or two previous the
Russians in the neighbourhood sent a polite message
13 the Turks, to the effect that they (the Russians)
had 6,000 good disposable men, and that if the corn-
kandant of Redoubt felt inclined to draw off his small
detachment of Turks, he would be allowed full liberty
to do so, and the embarkation would not be inter-
rupted • and it was owing to this news from the Sans-
pareil that we were dispatched so quickly. The Turks
returned for answer that their views and those of
the Russians did not coincide ; but, on the contrary,
differed very widely. So the Russians commenced
an advance against Redoubt from the wood, at the
upper end of the burnt town, and commenced a
first intrenchrnent, flanked on the one „side by, the
Aver and on the other by a deep marsh. So
geared on thy
proceeded when the Sanspareil ap-
e stage, which had the effect of immedi-
ately causing the retreat of the Moskows. We have to-
day pulled up the river, foraging among the burnt ruins
for timber. We walked back by the left bank pluck-
ing roses from the deserted gardens, and on our way
~.catne right upon the commenced Russian entrenchment
-1. have named. They had begun to work manfully, and
had left behind them numbers of hastily made spades to
shovel the earth up with. The pomegranate trees are in
beautiful blossom, and there is abundant promise of figs
and nuts, but nor yet ready. During the stay of the
ostspareil some Georgians came dropping down into
the fort for protection, though most probably they
'were
ti spies. They were all sent to Churuksu. A.
3'c'ug Georgian prince also came down for protection
against the Russians, who seemed to be providing their
eoramissariat department at a very small cost at the ex-
Peke of their allies. This prince was 13 years old, and
Was delighted at a salute given him by the two-decker,
and_ a guard of honour from the Marines. He also was
sent to Chu of
Both the Sampson and Sanspareil
;%Isealed from a supply of Russian coal left at Souchum-
h, which has now a Turkish garrison. During
aka stay of these ships at Souchum, the officers were
become Almost Plentiful among the Circassians and others.
s-moaarniocest every fellow one met pulled out a bottle
ancir d in big, unmistakeable English letters,
soon the murder came out--20 casks had been dis-
ocoovered. The finders first of all asked 48. a bottle, and
_. being laughed at, came down in their price to a
Valehre--2d. This bargaining came to the ears of the
Pasha who said that no one had the right of sale, and
_bottles were sent about to capture or destroy all

,i°llsly upon the ground. The Pasha then wished to
his a present of the whole of it to Captain Jones and
rll4 .officers ; but the captain would not hear of this, and
! snited on paying Bd. for a large, and 4d. for a small
41)0vittle. On strict inquiry it subsequently appeared that
'4114 Yawl thus laden had arrived at Redd, when

and 3 the Danube into the provinces of Wallachia
• • Moldavia seems pretty well established ; but
.1 they remain inactive, occupying the position
etween Varna and Schumla ? Sebastopol and ,
the Crimea are now much talked of. A friend who
has just returned from a visit to the French fleet
at Baltschik says that Admiral Hamelin has just I
issued a new ordre du jeur, which has
been I
posted on the mainmast of every ship, in which the
French navy are reminded of their duties, and
thanked for their exemplary behaviour ; and which
concludes 11, announcing that they will shortly pro-
ceed a hundred leagues farther, where their services
will be wanted for the good of their country. In
the meanwhile, everything at Constantinople is in
the perfection of peaceful languor and tranquillity.
Reschid Paella, whose health is improved, has re-

soldiers have again become rare : whilst a sprink-
ling of the French, who have remained behind I
from the division of Prince Napoleon, alone
remind you of the passage of the combined I

usual, is full of British transports and steamers.
The officers and crew of the Tiger are about to be
exchanged for some Russian prisoners, who were
brought here not long since by one of her Ma-
jesty's ships. The following are the names of the
Russian officers, mostly of Greek origin, and natives
of the Crimea :—Lieutenant-Colonel D'Olinski ;
Major Michel Vosilioff ; Captains Cost. Zakny and
Lambros Risos ; Lieutenants Constantine Koraskis,
Spiro Manolacchi, and George Mavroplios ; and
Ensign Paolo Malandrochi, together with 196
soldiers. Her Majesty's frigate Arethusa has left
for the Archipelago, it is said, to cruise there for
the prevention of piracy. Small and fast steamers
could be much more useful for such a purpose than
?sailing vessels.
