WARLIKE POSTURE OF CIRCASSIA
AND ASIA MINOR.

A letter from Trebizond of the 16th, in the
hamburg News, says :—" A Russian corps of
40,000 men has been sent against Schamyl.
The Turks have abandoned all the fortresses of
the Asiai.ic coast and completely destroyed that
of Shefketil.

The Russians have as yet only occupied Redout
Kale ; they dare not occupy the other points for
the present, the populations of Abasia and Cir-
cassia having sworn that no Russian shall touch
their territory so long as there is a Circassian
alive.

The whole population is under arms.
The Naib of Anapa has been obliged to make
his escape to avoid being murdered by them.

The Turkish fleet has carried off the cannon of
the forts of the Asiatic coast.
There are still five battalions and two detach-
ments of artillery at Trebizond.

There are 10,000 men expected from Erzeroum;
all our troops are to proceed to Constantinople.
Mustapha Pacha is still at Batoum with two
battalions and a war brig.

FRANCE.
PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

A lithographed, protest of the Princess of Orleans
against the bill for allowing 600,000 f. a-year to the
three Princesses of Orleans or their families was
distributed to the deputies at their residences, be-
fore the discussion of the measure by the Legislative
Body.
The Prefect of the Seine has received a letter
from the Mayor of Birmingham, announcing that
a meeting has been held in that place in favour of
the inundated, and enclosing a first subscription of
2501.

The last sitting but one of the Corps Legislatif
appears to have been of a stormy character. It is
thus described by a correspondent of the Incle-
pendance Beige :
The sitting of the Corps Legislatif to-day has been a
very stormy one, and a question badly mooted, and
badly presented, gave rise to it all. The affair is as fol-
lows :—The members had already voted the law opening
a credit of ten millions:of francs for the sufferers by the
floods ; the one which inscribes at the treasury a pen-
sion of 600,000 f. for the Princess of Orleans ; the one
relative to the Railway of Grenoble, Lyons, and Va-
lence—all without debate, and everybody thought that
the vote on the Pyrenean branch would also pass
without dismission, but the Chamber was at this moment
in an impatient mood. It was on the point of leaving ;
it was desirous of getting away as fast as possible into
the country. M. Jubinal, deputy of the 'ratites PI r4i, des,
having risen to thank the Government for fulfilling pro-
mises long since held out to the inhabitants, found him-
self interrupted after a few sentences by such a noise that
he was hardly able to finish his short address. It soon
got worse. M. Keenigswarter; the Deputy of St. Denis,
having raised an incidental question, that of inquiring
whether there was not a contract signed, before the
vote of the Corps Legislatif, between the Minister and
a great company (evidently the Credit Mobilier), you
would have said the Chamber was stung by the taran-
tula of speechifying. Everybody demanded permission
to sp ak. A most irregular discussion broke nut be-
tween M. de Kerveguen, M. de Cassagnac, M. Perret,
M. Ravine], and the Government commissioners. They
rhapsodied about everything except that which was on
the order of the day. They commenced a string of alle-
gations, recriminations, passionate outbreaks, interrup-
tions. Some wished the discussion to go on, others de-
manded its adjournment to the following day. Fortu-
nately, Messrs. de Tauriac and Schnieder brought the
Chamber back to true princip!es and re-established a
little order in the assembly by two speeches, one of
which was fiery and impassioned, the other calm, cold,
didactic, and logical in its arguments. Fatigued with
tArlfe, the debate was closed ; the members passed to the
vote, arid it was discovered that every one was of the
same mind in the main, for the law was voted with only
one dissentient voice."
