At half-past four-o'clock the stillness of the morning was
disturbed by the sounding of the reveille, and soon after
the several companies were mustered in their respective
barrack rooms. At the roll -call upwards of one hun-
dred men neglected to answer to their names, but
between five and six o'clock the absentees poured into
the barracks in such numbers that not one was absent at
the parade for march. The troops were in light service

spirits. At seven o'clock the band struck up, and the
word "quick march" having been given, the fine corps,
preceded by the pioneers, fully accoutred, emerged from
the western gate, and marched direct to the front

THE WAR IN TIIE EAST.
According to adviccs from St. Petersburg of the

seeing the Emperor, having been told that his passports
were ready for him.

buy over some Turkish ministers before a treaty can be
signed fully committing Turkey to the French and Eng-
lish alliance. In such a case a revival of the treaty of
Unkiar-Skelessi, excluding all but Russian and Turkish
ships from the Dardanelles, would be a primary stipu-
lation.

have applied to the Emperor for permission to organise
each at its own expense a regiment of infantry. This

of these facts, he rushed into the streets, and ascertpine a
that the movement extended to a pr.rt of the town. 'ln
a short time bands of armed citizens assembled, and
declared that they wade common cause with the rebels.
These bands commenced by arresting and confining in
some houses superior and other officers who were pro-
ceeding to their quarters. Some of these assemblages
vir: re disperi•ed, and the authorities were able to pene-
trate into the houses in which the officers were detained,
but without being able to ascertain the rallying cry or
the flag of the rebels. The captain-general having
placed himself at the head of the rest of the garrison at
Sarragossa who remained faithful and disoiplined, begat&

calm, and the plans of the seditious were baffled by the
vigour and firmness of the authorities and the garrison
of Sarragossa. At seven o'clock in the evening there
only remained some gates to occupy, and the town had
made its submission to the authorities. The insurgents
left numerous dead bodies on the points they occupied,
but which they were forced to abandon. By royal order
