THE ARMY IN THE EAST.
CAMP, SEBASTOPOL, MAY 17.
There is now little worth recording day by day
beyond what may be seen in general orders. Fifty-
six thousand of the French army has already em-
barked, and nearly the whole of the Sardinians have
left the Crimea. Our own movement seems like a
gigantic railway train, slow at the start, but will
doubtless rattle away presently at a great pace.
The Corfu regiments are now gone, and
those for Gibraltar are to be the next to follow.
During the past week discovery has been made of
a vast number of new Russian guns, which were
found buried in the earthworks of the Creek Bat-
tery, and it is probable that there are many more
in other places. Guns, shot, &c., are being em-
barked in the Sebastopol harbour, but the troops
will all go on board ship at Balaklava. The wea-
ther continues more like April than May, some-
what warm at times, but trifling when compared
to the heat as experienced long ere this time last
year. The showers that fall do much in improv
ing the condition of the country, but the ground
is so dry that it requires several days' settled rain
to make the grass grow.
A general after-order of this date is published,
complimentary to General de la Marmora and the
Sardinian army, and could not more effectually
convey, if words can do so, the high opinion which
in every respect universally. exists.

MAY 18.

In general orders of to-day will be found instruc-
tions relating to Russian churches and cemeteries,
directing them to be restored, as far as practicable,
after the damage that the war has caused them.
MAY 19.

Large fatigue-parties have been to-day employed
in taking down and carrying to the railway the
huts that have b3en vacated, large numbers of
which are to be conveyed to Malta.

the cheers of the population.

left sums of money for the sufferers, and was every-
where enthusiastically received.
