states that a petition having been sent in, with th(-
sanction of the. British Consul, to Omer Pacha
complaining of the conduct of Prince Stirhey, tht
Turkish Commander-in-Chief has promised that
the charges shall he carefully elFamined by tilt-
Turkish and Austrian commissioners.

There appears not to be the slightest doubt
Constantinople that Sebastopol is the point to beat
attacked. The immense siege mato-let collected
for the undertaking could not, they affirm, be
required for any other place, and all the mi-
litary men agree in representing the whole
as something admirable. The eets and trans-
' ports which are to proceed fl
to the Crimea
form an armada of a most imposing character.
One hundred . steamers of . all kinds, three
• hundred transports and thirty-six ships of
the line, compose the fleet. Marshal de St. Arnaud
and his staff are on board the Ville de Paris, which
is to be towed by the Napoleon. These letters
state that much anxiety was felt relative to the
situation of the army of Asia since the last defeat.
The reply of M. Drouyn de l'Huys to the note of
Russia, bearing the signature of Count de Nessel-
rode, has also produced a great effect at Constanti-
nople. It seemed to support the news which was
in circulation there at the entrance of the Austrians
into Wallachia. It is also said that this news had
been officially given to the Porte by Baron de
Bruck.

The Corriere Italian° of Vienna, of the 2d, gives
the following intelligence from Varna of the 26th
ult. :---" A division of the allied fleet has just left
Varna. On the 28th and 29th, the squadron which
has left will be followed by the bulk of the fleet,
with Admirals Hamelin and Bruat, and General
Canrobert at the head of the French and Turkish
troops. The division which has left Varna pro-
ceeded in a north western direction, but it is not
known whether it has gone to Akermann, Odessa,
Berson, or Sebastopol. It is certain that after the
Council of war held lately at Constantinople, it was
resolved to send all the disposable forces into Ana-
tolia." The above-named journal makes the re-
mark that since the fire not a single case of cholera
had made its appearance at Varna. The same
statement appears in two other Vienna journals,
the Fremden Bladtt and the Soldaten Freund, both
of which gave it as coming from Russian sources.

THE BALTIC.
RETURN OF THE FRENCH ARMY.

The Journal du Bavre says :—" By the steamer
the Nord, which has arrived from Cherburg, we
learn that it has been officially announced there
that 46 vessels, of which 10 will be English tran-
sports will arrive there between the sth and the
10th of October bringing back to France the army
of the Baltic."
