THE BLACK SEA.
PROCLAMATION OF MARSHAL ST.
ARNAUD.

A letter from Gallipoli, of August 21, announces
that six frigates had just arrived, in which are to
be embarked all the troops stationed there. It
also brings the following proclamation from Mar-
shal de St. Arnaud to the army :

" In the midst of the painful trials which we have just
passed through, I have fbund consolation in the acts of
devotedness which the common peril has called forth,
and in the moral vigour which has been exhibited during
the epidemic, both by those who obey and those who
command in this army. The first division, surprised
during its march by the invasion of the scourge, was
placed in a most afflicting situatio❑ ; but order, hope, and
calm never ceased to prevail there, as at the very best of
times, and it renewed in that respect the fine examples which
had been already given by the garrison of Gallipoli. I
praise. as they well deserve, and I thank most warmly,
the officers and soldiers who have thus honoured them-
selves in the eyes of the army, by struggling, with an
energy that nothing could overcome, against the diffi-
culties of a situation which at certain moments might
have astonished the most tried courage. The regret
which I give to such of our comrades as we have lost,
and who have expired so nobly at their post of combat,
is tempered by the satisfaction which I feel at seeing
myself surrounded by so many brave men. I know
that I may expect everything from them, and I regard
with the most complete security the efforts which I shall
have to ask from them in order to bring our great enter-
prise to a successful issue.

" A. DE ST. ARNAUD,
" Marshal Commander-in-Chief.
"Head-quarters at Varna, Aug. 8, 1854."

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE RUSSIAN
COMMANDERS.
•
A letter from Odessa of the 21st ultimo in the
Lloyd of Vienna, says :—" Secret instructions ar-
rived on the 19th from St. Petersburg to all the
military commanders in the Crimea. The finest
promises are held out to them if they will perform
their duty, and they are threatened with the se-
verest punishment in case they do not make the
most vigorous resistance to the enemy. Prince
Menschikoff is with his fleet at Sebastopol, but he
has removed the crews with their baggage to Ka-
rassubuzar."
The Moniteur also contains the following
"BUCHAREST, Aug. 22.- —The Ottoman army has almost
entirely passed into Wallachia. Three camps have been
established at Negnochti, Obilechti, and Colentina. All
things lead to the belief that the Turks will soon continue
their march towards Moldavia, and pursue the Russians
in their retreat. Circumstantial details have been now
received relative to the barbarity committed by the
Russians with respect to the regiment of Wallachian
militia quartered at Bouzco. The affair took place in
this way. General Anrep, who commanded the rear-
guard, passed the Wallachian militia in review on his
arrival at Bouzco, and invited the officers and soldiers
to follow the Russian army. They having refused, with
the exception of three, were ordered to deliver up their
arms ; but the Colonel, M. Vladoiano replied that he
had not received any instruction to that effect from his
commanding officer. The soldiers were then invited
to a banquet, given by the Russians ; they piled
their guns, laid down their knapsacks and their
cartouch-boxes, and proceeded to the spot where
the tables were laid out. On their return,
all their arms and accoutrements had disappeared ;
but that was not all, as the Cossacks immediately pro-
ceeded to complete their work by stripping of their
clothes the men whom they had just before deprived of
their arms. These glorious trophies were heaped up on
carts, and driven off towards Fokschani. The Russians,
however, had not the satisfaction of long remaining
masters of them, as the greater number of the carts were
seized by the Turks in the reconnaissance which they
made on the 17th to Bouzco, and they have been just
sent to Bucharest, as well as the detachment who
escorted them, and who were made prisoners."
The Wanderer of Vienna contains a letter from
Jassy, of the 24th ult., which says :—" Prince
Gortschakoff has resolved to remove his head•
quarters here ,at the end of the month. Mean-
while the advanced posts are being withdrawn from
the defiles of Transylvania to avoid all conflict with
the Austrians. At present the Russians have eva-
cuated all Wallachia, except Ibrail and Fokschani.
These two points are to keep the Turkish army in
check until the Russians haVe taken a firm footing
behind the Pruth."
The Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna of the 30th ult.
says :—" The greatest number of the political re-
fugees who had hitherto resided at Bucharest an d
Giurgevo have voluntarily withdrawn into Bul-
garia, after intimation had been given to some of
them that they could not erelong their stay in the
Principalities."
