officers of tried courage and talent. The Worst has
happened, and the future is not without its bright,
side. Who knows ? Perhaps the darling wish of
my heart may be accomplished, and my corresper"
deuce be dated from Tiflis."
On the sth the same correspondqnt writes :
cc I
have received the following news from Georgia;
Schamyl is awake, and woe to the Russians •
A short time since
.300 camels laden with rice
were sent from Erivan to Tiflis, and from thom
were sent back to Erivan charged with a,minunli
tion. 200 Russian infantry formed the escort.
On passing through the Dar-Yol the caravan
was attacked by a large force of Schamyl's pee"
ple, and carried off. The escort was cut to pieces.
From Kars, I have no intelligence of importance'
Sickness is unfortunately on the increase. The
troops are suffering generally from a species of ia;
fluenza, accompanied with severe chest pains. The
deaths from typhus have doubled. Thirty to fort
fatal cases are daily recorded. In a few days provv
sious in abundance and money will arrive at Kai'
and the sanitary, condition of the troops will
properly attended to. The news of Ahmet Pacha
i
dismissal from the command in chief was receive;
with shouts of joy by the army. They were 11,10
yet aware of the appointment of Zarif Pacha as °
successor. The opposition of Ahmet Pasha -I',
General Guyon's effective measures had of late re'
doubled. Straggling parties of 300 or 400 irregTo
Tars are passing through Erzer4oum on their waY
Axdahan. Some regular cavalry are being forme"
here, and when organised will count 4,000 sabres'
The men will be protected by a species of helmet
in place of the fez cap. The fez is perfectly useless
as a protection from either -wet, heat, or a sabre
cut. The men wounded at Soobattan were mossy,
hacked on the arm, which they had extended over
their heads as a protection from the Russian e:
valry sabres. The old-fashioned turban, if le
military-looking, was, at least, by far 113%fg
i
comfortable, and defied equally the element
and the sabre of an enemy. Zarif Pacha'
the new muchir (field-marshal), left Erzeronl
for Kars on the 2d instant. The garrison ue
this town, about 5,000 men, will leave for the sauli
place as soon as the weather becomes milder. P. 6
present the cold is most severe. I announced S 0
time since that 25,000 redifs had left Tokat
Sivas for ErzerOum and Kars. This force has been
detained by the snow, but is expected shortly..,4
far as I can calculate, the spring will find at Jvio
an 'army of 45,000 regulars. General Guyo.'2.,
forming some battalions of Rifles on the " V
ceunes" system. At present everything looks we't'
and money, the "sinew of war," is more abundai_l4
A speedy spring will be most welcome, and 1,
enable the troops to ' go into camp and escape ;0
ravages now caused by typhus. Lately, prat,'
were offered up in all the mosques for the such
of England and France. Events will become
more interesting every week, and I propose er'w
ing without delay for head-quarters."

FRANCE.
It is rumoured that a conspiracy has been air.
covered which has ramifications among the serV
