badly when compared with that of the French army,
which is perfection.
Lord Raglan. accompanied by Lord de Roos,
Quarterdias'ter-General, and staff, Mr. Burrell,
P.M.0., Dr. Tice, &c., arrived at noon in the Bay
of Gadipoli, on board the Etneu. Although expected
for several days past, it so happened that no one
was in waiting to receive him. The General, Sir G.
Brown, his Brigadier-General, Colonel Eyre, and
staff, had gone out early in the morning to inspect
the 28th and the other regiments of the Eastern
camp. Colonel Sullivan, Deputy Adjutant General,
and Captain Hallewell, Deputy Assistant Quarter-
mdster-General, had also ridden out of the town to
look after various matters connected with the ar-
rangement of the camps. When Lord Raglan
landed, therefore, he had full time to look about
him, and form a notion of the capabilities of Gal-
lipoli. He proceeded to the General's quarters,
and ;hen Sir George returned they had a long in-
terview. Lord Raglan visited Admiral Bruat on
board his flag ship, and was received with the
usual salute, which was repeated on his departure.
He sailed that night for the Bosphorous. On Sa-
turday Prince Jerome Napoleon arrived. The
town was shaken by the Imperial salute of
101 guns from each of the five French lino of
battle ships. He left the ship for the shore in a
storm of wind, under similar salute, which fright-
ened the Greeks out of their lives. On Sunday the
General, the Deputy Adjutant-General, Colonel
Sullivan, and staff attended divine service at the
camp, and the Rev. Mr. Mockler preached an ex-
cellent sermon ; after which they attended an in-
spection of 20,000 French troops b y the Prince.
The Roman Catholic chaplain, Mr. Wheble, has
been ordered out of the 44th camp into the town. It
is expected that Sir George Brown will leave this
week, and that his place will be taken by Sir R.
England. The Rifle Brigade and 93d Regiment
will go with him.

FRANCE. st.

The bombardment of Silistria is considered in 12.
Paris as an answer on the part of Russia to the 50
bombardment of Odessa. As hostilities have now 16i
actually commenced on both sides, both the French 16t
and English Governments are using the most ener-
getic means to induce Austria and Prussia to -1'
149
declare themselves one wayor other, and if possible 50
to induce them to join the Western Powers in 20
adopting active measures against Russia. It Ili
is expected that should the Russians advance 10
towards Constantinople, or should the Cabinets St
of Vienna and Berlin continue to persist in their 20
pretended neutrality, Napoleon will, before autumn, 10
push forward the troops about to assemble for the 12
camp at Boulougne and St. Omer to the frontier st
.
of the Rhine. The German Powers are quite 4(0)
aware of the danger they run, but still look for 25
safety, not in an attack upon the common enemy, 25
but in negotiation. It is said that they have made St.
propositions to Russia w►nich will probably be it2B
accepted, but which in the present state of affairs St
will hardly be accepted by England and France. 50
It was reported in Paris yesterday that a levy 25
of 100,000 men had been ordered by the Prussian 100
Government. St.
The Presse states that on Saturday, the Sixth 25a
Regiment of Cuirassiers commenced its embarka- 50
tion—an operation which was continued. On the N
previous day 1,000 soldiers left Toulon for Greece.
The additional buildings admitted to be neces- St
sary to complete the Palace of Industry in the
Champs Elysees will be commenced immediately. I
These additions will be made of cast iron, so as to
be removable when the Universal Exhibition is
over. They will be very extensive, for applications
have already been made for the admission of no
less than 1,000 large engines requiring space to
allow visitors to inspect them in action. It will
unfortunately be necessary to cut down a good
many more trees. The building is expected to be
finished in November. Immense preparations are
making throughout Europe and in the United
States for an industrial display which, notwith-
standing the war, bids fair to rival the first and
famous world's fair of London.
A decree of the 26th ult. enacts that diplomatic
and consular agents, who may have been obliged
on account of war, or of other grave circumstances,
to leave their posts and return to France, may re-
ceive for six months, dating from their return, a
special allowance varying according to their grade,
and calculated at from 50,000fr.t0 60,000 fr. for
ambassadors, 15,000 fr. to 40,000 fr. for ministers
plenipotentiaries, and 2,400 fr. to 14,000 fr. for
other agents, from the grade of chancellor or dra-
goman to that of charge d'affaires. At the end of
the six months, the agents who may have served
for more than ten years may be allowed the pay
for non-active services.
M. de Hubner, Austrian Envoy in Paris, has

PRUSSIA.
The rostitutionnel collects the opinions expressed
in some of the German papers as to the probable 2
policy of Prussia on the Eastern question, and re- 2
marks upon them as follows :
"It will be seen that public opinion in Germany de-
dares itself not only against a policy which would make
Prussia an active satellite of Russia, but even against
a system of indecision, indolence, and temporisation
which would isolate her for a time from the action of
Europe. She is called upon to declare herself promptly `4
and frankly against the Emperor Nicholas, and it is
distinctly observed that two policies are no longer pos-
sible for her. She must either adopt an independent
and European policy in the sense of France, England, 1,
and Austria, or a Russian policy, that would make her ,
a vassal of the empire of the Czars. The moment for
the Cabinet of Berlin to pronounce itself openly cannot
he distant, and when it shall have arrived it will be in
the crusade of coalised Europe against Russian barba-
rism that we shall find the Eagle of Prussia." I 1
In the sitting of the Germanic diet of the 11th,
England and France caused to be communicated
the treaty of alli ince concluded between them on
the 10th April with respect to the Eastern war. )(
