PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.

Gallipoli appears to be the point on the Turkish coast which
has been selected for the lauding both of the French and
British contingents. As will be seen on reference to the map,
it is very conveniently situated for that purpose. It can be
easily defended against any land attack, and troops stationed
there could With great facility be marched to Adrianople, or
embarked on the Sea of Marmora and landed at any part of
the Black Sea coast where their presence might be required.
The regiments belonging to the , expeditionary army still in
England will now,'of course, proceed direct to Gallipoli, with-
out stopping at Malta.
The Moniteur has the following paragraph "
The English Government has just given orders to the
English troops assembled, at Malta to depart for Gallipoli.
The French Government sent 4,000 men there a few days
since, and they probably arrived on the 27th. Vessels having
on board 15,000 men have, within these few days, sailed from
the coasts of France and Algeria., Other vessels will be des-
patched immediately with the rest of the army, which, to the
number of more than 50,000 men, will be assembled in Tur-
key by the commencement of. May.
" The Minister of War has taken such steps as will enable
this army to be increased 'as circumstances may require."
It is said that Sir D. L. Evans will command the 5,000
men destined for a " special service."
The entry of landsmen, between 19 and 24 years of age,
standing sft. Gin: in height, for service in the navy, is resumed.
Yesterday the Admiralty gave notice at Lloyd's that tran-
sports were required for the conveyance of 113 pieces of ord-
nance to Constantinople, the guns weighing 342 tons.. Up-
wards of 59 tons of anchors and chain cable, for the use of
the Black Sea fleet, are to be transmitted at the same time.
The Admiralty are also about to employ a considerable num-
ber of screw-steamers for pirticular service, of between four
and six hundred tons. These vessels are to be hired for four
months certain.

Her Majesty's ship Janus, Commander C. A: Kane, now
fitting at Woolwich; is ordered on particular service, and in-
structions were yesterday received at the Royal Rendezvous,
Tower-hill, to use every exertion to complete her required
number of blue jackets. - *

Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Garvock, 31st Regimentzo
has lately rettitnetrfteditlnt=faiVrsTalllS of piny` leaa<
is to be appointed to the staff of the. expeditionary force.
This excellent officer has had great experience in such duties.
In 1845, on the outbreak of the Sutlej campaign, he was
appointed brigade-major to,Sir Harry Smith's division, and
took a very active part in the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshah,
;Buddiwal, Aliwal,'and Sobraon. In the last enegement he
was shot through the leg, and it is a,eurious fact that the heal-
ing of the wound baffled all medical skill for several months
till it was discovered that the ballet had carried in along with
it the piece of .cl,otle where_ the ball .struck, which produced
"continual suppuration, and prevented all recovery. In con-
sequence of the great satisfaction he gave to the hero of;Ali-
wal, he was invited to become his private secretary on his
appointment to the Governorship of the. Cape, and conducted
himself with such. 'conspicuous gallantry in the action of
Boom Platte in 1848, that Sir Harry Smith, in writing home,
asked as a personal favour that some mark • of, honour might
be 'conferred upon his valuable and indefatigable secretary and
aide-de-camp. He was made lieut.-Colonel in the army, and
remained with his chief-during the' Kafir war till his return,
to England. • To havc given such
_continued and increasing
satisfadtion to Sir HarrY is a circumlfanee beyond all praise. ,
INSPECTION or THE 14T ROAl,S,—This fine regiment was in-
spected on Tuesday on the Hoe, Plymouth, by-Major-General'
Sir Harry Smith, G.C.8., the commander-in-chief.- of 'the'
western &strict; who Was attended his aide-dc-camp 'and
other officers; .The 'men went throUgh- all. the' Usual 'event-
,
tions, under the command of, Major ,Montgomery.' After
haVing been thus:actively engaged for about three-quarters of
an hour the general said a few inspiriting words to the =men :
--" I see you again before you embark; said he
.; " but
this I,tell you—you arc ready for. the Russians; or any ether.
many., We will have another clay,. Be ready for anything.
Chaige fifty times as you have to-day ! That is what; we
call fighting, except the shooting part,; no. pipeclay day."
The dallantzeueral then turned re dud, and seeiug ona of the
sentinels - (ridding' the people back; he exelahned, "Do let
the men alone !, they Are our eountrymen--:they,are
the fellows we,are fightinglor." , The aeople around:reCeived
this hearty' mitbUrst of English feeling with a tremendous:
cheer, which pas again and ag,aiu renewed
_while :Sir Harry
rode ff the ground.
The °timberland, 72, sailing-ship, bearing the flag of Ad-
miral Sir George Seymour, commander4d-chief of the North
American, station; is expectid at Spithead daily.- It is re-
ported in this dockyard that her crew will be turned over to
the'St: Vincent, 105, now being fitted out as ordinary guard-
ship,,but which; it is confidently expected, will be sent up
the Baltic, and that the Nelson; 120,iwill be brought forward
as guard:ship in the St. Vincent's place. :With abont 200
newly-raised Men; the St. Vincent would be' most efficiently
manned by the Cumberland's crew. Several additional lieu-
tenants having been appointed to the Vestal, 20, now the
largest ship on that station, it is expected that she will hoist
the flag of Rear-Admiral Arthur Fanshawe, on his taking the
command of the North America -,and West Indies station, as
successor to Vice-Admiral Sir George F. Seymour.
