THE FRENCH EXPEDITIONARY FORCE
FOR THE BALTIC.

The Emperor arrived at Boulogne from Paris
shortly after seven o'clock on Tuesday evening, fop
the purpose of reviewing the auxiliary army in-
tended for the Baltic, previous to the embarkation
of the first division in British ships. His Majesty,
who was accompaitied by a numerous staff, was
loudly cheered upon entering the town, and large
crowds of people followed his Majesty to the Hotel
du Nord, where be is at present staying.
At eleven o'clock this morning his Majesty, ac-
companied by General Baraguay d'Hilliers, Gene-
rals d'Hugues and Gresy, Colonel Fleury, and nu-
merous other military officers, proceeded to the ex-
tensive camp now formed at Wimereux, a short dis-
tance from Boulogne, where a very large number
of French soldiers are at present encamped. The
troops were drawn up in lines of regiments in the
separate camps, to receive the Emperor, whose
appearance on the ground was the signal for the
usual military salutes. As his Majesty proceeded
on horseback along the lines, each regiment shouted
" Vivo l'Empereur !" in the most enthusiastic and
unanimous style. The inspection having been
brought to a close, 'his Majesty summoned the
officers of the respective regiments, about imme-
diately to march, towards him, and a circle having
been formed, the Emperor, in the hearing of a large
portion of the troops, and many of the spectators,
delivered with much animation the following ad-
dress :

" Soldiers—Russia having forced us to a war, France
has armed five hundred thousand of her children. Eng-
land has called out a considerable number of troops.
To-day our troops and armies, united for the same
cause, dominate in the Baltic as well as in the Black Sea.
I have selected you to be the first to carry our eagles to
those regions of the north. English vessels will convey
you there—a unique fact in history which proves the in-
timate alliance of the two great nations (peuples ), and
the firm resolution of the two Governments not to ab-
stain from any sacrifice to defend the right of the weak,
the liberty of Europe, and the national honour.
" Go, my children ! attentive Europe, openly or
secretly, offers up vows for your triumph ; our country,
proud of a struggle which only threatens the aggressor,
accompanies you with its ardent vows ; and I, whose
imperious duties retain still distant from the scene of
events, shall have my eyes upon you, I shall be able to
say : They are worthy sons of the conquerors of AUS-
TERLITZ, of EYLAII, of FRIEDLAND, and of MOSKOWA.
" Go, may God protect you !"

Loud and prolonged shouts of " Vive l'Em-
pereur !" and other loyal cries followed this ad-
dress. Several of the non-commissioned officers
were afterwards decorated, and stepped forward
to receive medals from the hands of the Emperor.
The 12th battalion of Chasseurs, the 2d light in-
fantry regiment, the 3d regiment of the line, and
the 48th and 51st regiments, then departed in
excellent style, in full marching order, before
' the Emperor and his staff, and proceeded en
route for Calais, the place of their embarka-
tion. The enthusiasm of the the troops, with
their evident anxiety to be employed in " the de-
fence of the week, the liberty of Europe, and the
honour of their country," imparted a large amount
of interest to the proceedings of the day, which, in
other respects, were not characterised by any of
those more exciting features usually connected with
reviews and military movements. His Majesty re-
turned from the review just at the moment when
the steamer from Folkstone had steamed up to the
jetty, and the numerous passengers (210 in number)
and crew gave him a warm and truly English cheer.
The whole number of troops to be embarked on
Friday from Calais is 9,300 infantry ; there are
also a number of the horses of the staff. Admiral
Berkeley has, in concert with the French Vice-Admi-
ral Lapierre, made all the necessary arrangements for
carrying out the embarkation. The troops will
embark in English ships, but the artillery and
heavy ordnance will, it is expected, be conveyed by
ships of the French navy. The present division
will be formed into two brigades, under General
d'Hucrues and General Gresy; the whole force un-
der the command of General Baraguay d'Hilliers,
General Renault, and General Niel of the En-
gineers. Nothing has transpired with respect to
the destination of the forces in the Baltic, though
the report that it is intended to take military pos-
session of the island of Aland, as a point d'appiti
fortifie, is very generally received. The whole
strength of the division intended for service in the
Baltic, including some English marines, will be
equal to 25,000.
A large flotilla of steamers and small vessels will
arrive at Calais on Thursday evening, to carry the
troops on board her Majesty's ships Royal William
120; Hannibal, 91; Algiers, 91; St. Vincent, 102.
The squadron of French ships for the transport of
artillery and stores will consist of two of 100 guns,
two of 90, two frigates, and some smaller vessels.
The hour of embarkation is fixed for nine o'clock
on Friday, and it is stated that by four o'clock all
the troops will have been put on board.
The Boulonnais are sadly put out that the em-
barkation is not to take place from Boulogne, and
that Calais has been selected in preference to this
port. There is considerable difficulty in making
the " overland journey" from Boulogne to Calais,
while conveyance by water is out of the question.
It was expected that the south-Eastern Company
would have run one of their steamers on the occa-
sion, but it appears that the spare portion of their

feat has hem frapreozact hate the, more important
service of conveying the troops on Friday.
His Majesty leaves for Calais to-day (Thursday)
morning.

WHAT THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT
THINKS OF THE CZAR'S REPLY.
Although the French Ministerial journals con-
tain nothing of a very positive character relative to
the reply of the Emperor of Russia to the demands
oT Austria and Prussia, there can be no hesitation
in concluding, from the way in which this reply is
alluded to in the course of remarks on the war, that
the French Government does not regard the answer
as presenting any opening for negotiations for peace
on the basis laid down by the Western Powers as
essential, and that it entertains a belief that the
Prussian Government will, if possible, cause new
delays in order to prolong the system of armed
neutrality, which can be favourable only to Rus-
sia. This is evident from what has been said by
the Pays, and is still more from a long article by
M. Granier de Cassagnac, now published by the
Constitutionnel. Whilst the Moniteur is from
its official character necessarily silent, M. Gra-
pier de Cassaguac, who may be supposed to be
well informed as to the views of the Govern-
ment, takes care to prevent an impression which
could raise doubts as to the energy of the Go-
vernment, or as to its having a due sense of what is
due to its dignity. For most persons, perhaps, the
acts of the Government are sufficient to show that
it does not allow itself to be deluded by false hopes;
but for the public at large something may be neces-
sary in the way of declaration. If the answer of
the Emperor of Russia had been such as to hold out
any reasonable prospect of peace, there would have
been some delay in the execution of the new mea-
sures resolved upon for the prosecution of the war.
The expedition to the Baltic, urged on as it is with
almost marvellous rapidity, must convince the
public that the Western Powers consider it neces-
sary to strike some decisive and important blow as
the only means of bringing the Czar to a true sense
of his position, and compelling him to offer real and
material guarantees against the possibility of any
future attack upon Turkey, which, if successful,
would endanger the political equilibrium, and
consequently the security of Europe. M. Granier
de Cassagnac regards as the fixed policy of Russia
the possession of Constantinople and continued
encroachments in the south. He describes this
as the necessary consequence of the position of
Russia and of the interests of her Government, and
declares that there will be no security for Europe
until the Russian Government shall by severe and
decisive lessons have been convinced that the policy
is impracticable.
It was rumoured in Paris yesterday that the
French army has received a check in Africa.

THE LOST PRIZE.—HAMBURGH, July B.—The cargo
of the Russian ship Cesarewitsch has been already dis-
charged, consisting of tea and silk, valued at about
1,000,000 Russian dollars, or 150,0001. The whole, it
has been intimated, will be forwarded overland to St.
Petersburg. The crew of this ship have been likewise
lent away to their homes via Copenhagen and Sweden
into Finland, and four Hamburgh police-officers accom-
panied them the day before yesterday as far as Lubeck.
The master of the Cesarewitsch belongs to this place,
Which accounts in some degree for the clever way in
Which he managed to avoid the Channel and pass our
cruisers into the Elbe, having a thorough knowledge of
the navigation.

deemed prudent to return to port. A number of the

emigration depot at Birkenhead.
THE WEATHER.—Appearances for the last day or two
