THE FRENCH REINFORCEMENTS.

The Marseilles journals of the 15th inst. an-
nounce that the 6th battalion of Chasseurs do Vin-
cennes and two batteries of artillery were on the
point of being embarked to join in the Crimea the
6th division commanded by General Pate. By the
adjunction of that division the effective force of the
French army before Sebastopol will be increased to
70,000 men. The Government has besides ordered
the immediate departure of two other divisions for the
East, commanded by Generals Dulac and De Salles.
The division of General Dulac, which will form the
7th of the army of the East, will consist of two
brigades. The first, under the orders of General
Bensinger, is to be composed of the 17th battalion
of Chasseurs de Vincennes, the 10th Regiment of
Light Infantry, andthes7th of theline ; the second,
under General Bisson, of the 10th and 61st regi-
ments of the Line, two batteries of artillery,
and a company of engineers. The first brigade is
to embark this week at Toulon, and the other
troops are to leave in succession, according as the
transports are ready to receive them. The division
of General Do Salles is to occupy, in the Camp
of the South, the cantonments vacated by Gene-
ral Dulac, until the necessary preparations be made
for its embarkation. That division, the Bth of
the army, is to consist of two brigades—the first,
commanded by General Faucheux, formed of the
10th battalion of Chasseurs de Vincennes, the 4th
regiment of Light Infantry, and the 18th of the line ;
the second, under General Duval, of the 14th and
43d Regiments of the Line, two batteries of artil-
lery, and a company of the 3d Regiment of Engi-
neers. All those troops will have sailed before the
end of the month. Those two divisions, it is be-
lieved, aro not intended to operate in the Crimea.
They are toland either at Trebizonde, to strengthen
the Turkish army of Kars ; or at Batoum, to
combine operations with the warriors of Schamyl.
The mission entrusted of late to French agents
for that celebrated chief justify to a certain degree
the last supposition. " Whatever may happen,"
says the Courrier de Marseilles, "and however great
and arduous may be the task undertaken by France,
the means she has employed will be found fullyade-
qua,te to it, and we may consequently await with
calmness and confidence the result of a war so
resolutely carried on . by England and France."
Indeed it may be said that reinforcements for the
army of the east are marching from all quarters.
The sth battery of the Ist Regiment of Artillery
left Vincennes yesterday by rail for Lyons, on its
way to the Crimea. A detachment of the 6th
battalion of Foot Chasseurs, coming from Stras-
bourg, arrived yesterday in Paris, and left in the
evening for Toulon. The Minister of War has
issued orders for all the depots of the 'regiments
now serving in the Crimea to send reinfdrctifii cuts
to their respective corps with all possible despatch.

ANOTHER DESPATCH FROM GENERAL

CANROBERT.

A letter from Paris, this morning, says :—"-A
despatch from General Canrobert, dated the 3d,
has not, I believe, as yet been made public. It
announces that the trench works of the French
camp were then at 140 metres from the enceinte, but
that the difficulties of the soil precluded the possi-
bility of their being pushed nearer. The place
d'armes was about to be established where the
attacking columns were to be assembled. Tho works
were carried on under cover of the batteries on the
right, which had opened their fire on the Ist. The
cannonade was most energetic on both sides. The
enemy was constructing incessantly new batteries
behind the enceinte which has a view on the works
of the Allies. The struggle was obstinate, but
the fire of the besieged was commanded by that
of the besiegers. The enemy's forces, whose
number it was difficult to estimate, were fortifying
themselves on the heights to the north-east of
Balaklava, which they menaced on the left. The
utmost vigilance of the Allied Generals was di-
rected to that point. The loss of the Allies was
of little importance in comparison with that of
the enemy, which was known to be very consi-
derable. The sanitary condition of the army was
excellent. The weather was fine, though cold."
