Prince Napoleon arrived at Gallipoli on the
laiet of the 30th of April.
ONOURABLE CONDUCT OF THE FRENCH Go-

Irom the consuls of France and England at St.
Petersburg. In communicating that determina-
tion to the consul of her Britannic Majesty, Count
de Nesselrode offered that agent his passports,
whereas he announced to M. de Castillon that the
Rroperor Nicholas authorised him to continue to
reside at St. Petersburg. The French Government
has refused to accept the benefit of the difference
of treatment which the Russian Cabinet has en-
deavoured to establish between the consuls of the
two allied powers,
to quit his post." and has ordered M. de Castillon

The impression here appears to me to be exceedingly
favourable to the measures adopted by his Majesty's
Government. The troops arrive at Gallipoli et the
Periods fixed on beforehand, the weather is favourable,
and the slow advance of the Russians, and the attitude
of Omer Pacha, allow them to know each other and
Provide for their organisation. The war is opening
under happy auspices, and at the sight of our troopsdoubt
that it will be glorious. We should be exceedingly
culpable if the spectacle of activity displayed by the
generals, officers, and soldiers, encamped on the
heights of Gallipoli did not excite .eur emulation.
There
reigns among this little army a gaiety and
enthusiasm which remind one of the best days of
the empire. The site of the camp has been hap-
pily selected. The troops hare wood and water
close at hand, and the ground is favourable for
their exercises. The arrivals which have been
taking place for some days will render General Can-
-I:obert's task more easy. The first moments were, as
Ras to be expected, moments of trial, as it was neces•
nary to provide with very insufficient means for the
establishment and subsistence of the t It
troops. appears
to me that these difficulties have been very happily snr-
leounted by the experience and activity of the general-
-14-chief. I know that the English officers have testified
en several occasions their admiration at the excellent
aPpearance and industrious energy of our troops. My
personal relations with the general officers of the French
and English armies were established from the very out-
set on the best possible footing. I aid them as much as
