The following extract from a letter from Odessa, 1!
dated the Ist inst., is quoted from the Augsburgh
Gazelle. The appearance of a Russian army at
Europe
into
a Constantinople
would throw the whole of Western
ferment. The paragraph may have
been put forth as a feeler ; and, if so, it is more
with a view to test the barometer of public opinion
in England than in France. To provide for the
worst, it were as well to have a British squadron
within a few hours' sail of the Golden Horn :

ODESSA, SEPT. I.—The whole of the five corps of
the army, which was intended to ect against the Cir.-
cassians, has already returned, and is expecting orders
to embark for Constantinople. On the 26th of August
an orderly officer of the Emperor arrived at Nicolajeff
with despatches for Admiral Lazareff, ordering him to
be in readiness to put to sea with the fleet at a moment's
was immediately despatched
cekrtche Black Sea, for the exercise or the
tahgeatleineatsthoilaSebastopol, it being then on
tnacoroetclitrvce-useti.c.she Ibiinnaiquiries have also been 'et on foot by Go-
vernment to ascertain how many merchant ships can
be procured at Odessa for the conveyance of troops,
ammunition, and provisions for immediate service.

Announcements of preparations for war constitute
the staple of the contents of the Paris journals of
preparations are not confined to
oneiu'e sodayThese
or two nch ports, but extend to every mili-
tary and naval arsenal in the kingdom. If to be
in readiness for war is the best way of maintaining
peace, then is France in a condition to impart con-
fidence to every lover of tranquillity on the surface
of the European division of the globe.

The Univers states that INIM. GUIZOT and
TITTERS are at loggerheads about the Treaty of
London. The President of the Council taxes
the Ambassador with incapacity, which the latter
retorts by denouncing M. TIIIERS as a violator
of the national good faith, in his intercourse
with the Four Powers. It is even stated that M.
GUIZOT is preparing to attack the President of
the Council before the Chambers.
FRENCH SQUADRON OF RESERVE.—The Sod de
Marseilles of the 18th inst. states, that the squadron
of reserve under the command of Admiral Lalande is
to consist of 13 sail, viz., the Admiral's ship Ocean, of
120 guns ; the Trident, Marengo, and Scipion, ships
of the line, now at Toulon ; the Genereux, which had
lately sailed with troops for Algiers ; the Souverain, of
120 guns, and the Ville de Marseilles, which were still
in the basin ; the frigates Iphigenie, Uranie, and lode-
pendante, now in progress of armament ; the corvette
Circe, a brig, and two steamers.

SECRET tXPEDITION.—Orders have been despatched
to put the Inflexible, a French ship of the line, which
was launched at Rqchcfort scarcely a month ago, in a
state fit for service without loss of time, and so urgent
were these orders that the vessel will leave the port on
the 24th of this month without being painted. The
crew of the Hermoine, for a long time stationed at Pas-
sages, had been transferred to the Irflexible, and will
paint the vessel on its passage. It destination is not
publicly known.

TURKISH INVASION OF SYRIA.—The German Papers
say that the Turkish fleet, having on board 6,000 men
for Syria, had arrived at the island of Cyprus, and would
probably attempt a landing in Syria, under the protec•
tiou of Commodore Napier.
FRENCH SAVING BANKS —The deposits in the Paris
savings' banks on the 20th and 21st inst. amounted to
412,652 E, and the sums withdrawn to 1,178,000 E The
amount withdrawn consequently exceeded the' amount
deposited by 765,000 f,
FRENCH NATIONAL GUARDS.--The Univers states
that the order for mobilising the National Guards has
been for some days signed by the King ; but that Minis--
ters reserve to themselves the publication of it accord-
ing to circumstances.

THE. SHIP OF WAR FERD/NAND..—TiIe Journal de
Cherbourg of the 19th says, " The Ferdinand, of 120
guns, the arming of which isoroceeding with the greatest
diligence; will be commanded by 'Captain 'Cartnao Da-
naanoir."
A. Ministerial despatch'or iliefloth'Sertetirlat4lkir'es
orders immediately to arm the-central' tort of the Mole
of Cherbourg ; this fort, which is in the middle of our
road, and so well defends its eastern and western en-
trances, is going to be armed with twelve 80 pounders
and twelve thirty-six pounders. A company of naval
artillery is going to be sent from l'Orient to Cbcrbour,7,
to commence the arming of the forts and batteries of the
port.—Le Constilutionnel.

The attention of the public is drawn to the garden
of the Luxembourg Palace, and the considerable num-
ber of workmen employed in converting the Palace of
the Chamber iato a real fortress. In addition to the
ordinary posts of veteran subaltern officers, which are
already numerous, ten new corps de guide arc preparing
at the entrance and within the Palace. independently
of all these measures, the workmen are erecting palli-
sades ail round the Palau, and the avenues to the
prisons. This enclosure is constructed with as much
solidity as if it were intended to be permanent.—Le
Gaze tie de France.

The ilfoniteur Parisien and the Mcssager publish
this morning the following note :

" Some Journals announced this morning that several
political characters, among whom they designate Messrs.
De Broglie, Gerard, Montalivet,
were present at
the Council of Ministers, at which the King presided,
the day before yesterday. This statement is wholly
incorrect. The Ministers alone were present. The
Duke de Broglie is not even at Paris at this moment."

THE COURT• AIARTIAL AT 13RIGIIT01.—A Corre-
spondent of an Evening
Paper makes the following just
remarks, on the appointment of the members of the
Court-Martial who are to try Captain Reynolds. This
is the doing of
the Horse Guards, and we cannot see
what chance A junior officer, with such a Court, can
have justice,
for impartial
except in the sterling inte-
grity of the members. Their rank would lead them to
side with the accuser.—" I will not say a word upon a
case about to he submitted to military inquiry, but,
in the name of the junior officers of the line, I
must protest against the composition of that Court.
I ou are no doubt aware that, by their pecu-
liar privileges, the officers of the Guards can only be
tried by officers of their own brigade, those belonging
to regiments of the Line can take no part therein. By
what law or authority is it, that they of the Guards arc
appointed to judge others 9 I find in this list three
Lieut.-Colonels of the Guards sent down, although the
garrisons of Portsmouth. Dover, Canterbury, Cli,ithmo,
Woolwich, and Hounslo. w, could have c.u-ily furnished
members, amongst whom there could not be a putiele
of Prejediec. Nay more a Captain of the 1-110 es is
selected to try an officer of Hussars, although in the
year 1822, when a Captain of that rugiinent %vas brougiit
to trial in Knight3hrici&e,
~: barracks, the Court has com-
posed sol%ly of officers belonging to the household in i-
gado, and although the garrison of Woolwich and the
head-quarters of a regiment of cavalry were with ten
miles. Is this just ? I must also
object to the unusual
number of Lieutenant-Colonels commanding regiments
being selected to try a Captain, four in number, in addi-
tion to the Lieutenant-Colonels of the Guards."
