OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.
(From the Times' Second Edition.)

CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, April 21.

The Army Works Corps will be the first body
sent from the Crimea. Most of the men are now
employed packing the stores, machinery, and tools
belonging to the corps for immediate shipment.
The traditions of our navy, which forbid the em-
ployment of men-of-war as transports, except in
cases of great emergency, will deprive us of some
facilities of transport if they are rigidly adhered
to, but it must be said at the same time that some
of our naval officers are of opinion that the
French have ruined their fleet by using the ships
as transports. The quare and quamobrem I am not
able to reply to. Admiral Trehouart is actively
engaged at Kamiesh in making arrangements.
for the further despatch of troops. Yesterday
the Ist, 2,3, and 3d Regiments of Zouaves em-
barked at Kamiesh and sailed at once for
Algeria. These troops have acquired a European
reputation on the soil of the Crimea, and it has
been their rare good fortune to have been em-
ployed in every remarkable action and operation of
the expedition, and to justify on every occasion
the good opinion of their officers. In that respect
they' present a contrast to those splendid High-
land regiments whom the fortune of war has con-
demned to comparative inactivity on the heights
behind Balaklava • and one cannot but regret that
Sir Colin Campbell had not one more chance, such
as that of which he so well availed himself at the
Alma and at Balaklava, to show the mettle of his
men in some of the grander operations of the_
siege. It is never too late to do justice to a
brave soldier ; and, now that the war is over',
it should be known that it was Sir Colin Camp-
bell who gave the energetic and decided advice
which caused the Brigade of Guards to receive its
onward movement up the hill of the Alma, and
which decided the fate of the day. There was a
general impression at one time that "he would not
get on well" with the French, but the reverse has
turned out to be the case. He has established the
most intimate and friendly relations with all the
French officers whom their course of service and
duty brought in contact with him. General
Bosquet and Sir Cohn are warm personal
friends, and General -Pinny speaks of him with
enthusiasm. Indeed, Sir Colin has to submit
to an amount of hugging from his veterad friends
whenever they meet after short absences which
proves their ardour and his passive endurance. The
Bretagne, Ulm, Fleurus, Joan Bart, Duquesne,
Tour ville, Prince Jerome, Hercule, Rolland; moire,
Saone,Darauce, &e., havebeen prepared for troops,
and it is expected that 20,000 French will embark
this week at Kamiesh. The Sardinians will Boas soon
as there are vessels ready to carry them. They give
a dinner this evening to their friends in the English
army, to which a large party of theßoyal Engineers
are invited, and the French, on their side, prepare
another grand ball, which will take place iu a few
days. A number of the French troops are so re-
duced by scorbutic diseases and by illness that it
is not considered advisable to send them all the
way to France just yet, and M. Baudens is prepar-
ing at Prinkipo, in the Sea of Marmora, a field
hospital for their reception.

There is a report 'in camp that Sir W. Eyre is
going out to Canada with the rank of M►jor-Gene-
ral, and that he will command a division consist-
ing of the oth, 14th, 17th, 62d, and 63d Regiments.
These are all strong regiments, with one exception,
and- have suffered little during the war, for the
heavy losses to which the G3d were exposed at In-
kerman and by the winter of 1854-5 have been
compensated by draughts and by the reorganisa-
tion of the regiment, and the gallant 621 is also
acquiring its full strength by degrees. The troops
now in Canada will, it is further said, be formed
into a brigade under the orders of the present Com-
mander-in-Chief, who will act as brigadier under
General Eyre—Quiea sabe?

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
The Moniteur publishes two decrees, one ap-
proving of the establishment of a pension fund for
the mutual benefit societies, and the other divid-
ing among such bodies the 500,000 f. accorded for
that purpose by the Emperor on the occasion of
the birth of the Prince Imperial.
The Mouitettr contains decrees making two no-
minations to the rank of knight iu the Legion of
Honour, and conferring nine military medals on
non-commissioned officers and soldiers who have
received wounds and lost limbs in the Crimea.
General de Brigade Coste de Champeron, com-
manding the 21 brigade of the division of cavalry
of the 2d corps of the army of the East of France,
has been appointed to the subdivision of the Aube,
in the room of General de Nove, who has received
another destination.

The Var gives some details relative to the corps
of toe Mediterranean. It says :—" At the Isle
Porquerolles, General Failly has larded from the
Crimea with 230 men and 6 officers. Nearly 530
men are busily employed in preparing accommoda-
tion for the troops that are expected. At Cava-
laire, the roads have been all repaired, and the
landing-place for the cavalry and artillery nearly
terminated. The whole of the works are under the
direction of Captain Fescourt, of the engineers.
The forage for the horses has already arrived, and
been placed in store. A great number of cafes and
restaurants have been erected, and in a few days
they will he ready to receive the public. In the
Isle Ste. Marguerite, the works are also going on
with activity. The sanitary state of the camps is
quite satisfactory."
The Independanee Beige says :—" Count de
Morny, the ambassador extraordinary of Napoleon
111. at the coronation of the Emperor of Russia,
will not leave Paris until the middle of June, but
before that period another eLvoy, a member of the
household of his Majesty, will convey to St. Peters-
burg the reply to the notification made by Count
Orloff of the accession of Alexander 11. to the
throne. When Count de Morny shall have reached
the Czar diplomatic relations will have been already
completely re-established between the courts of
Paris and St. Petersburg. The sojourn of Count '
de Morny in Russia will, it is said, be fur three
months."
