tachinents of British infantry of the line, formed
into 10 companies. Collected likewise from differ-
ent regiments this would have been scarcely per-
ceptible, had it not been for the many coloured
facings, so united were they in a body. It was
like a solid wall composed of different kinds of
stone, but cemented together as one, and you for-
got the component parts in the appearance of the
whole.

Next came the German Legion, with General
Woolride at their head ; the Jager battalion first,
and the three light infantry regiments after, and
the Polish Legion, which formed the last body of
infantry. At the bead of the cavalry division
was Captain Thomas's troop of Horse Artillery,
the same which was last autumn in Eupatoria.
After this troop of artillery came a sejuadron of
the 11th Hussars, commanded by Major Cooke,
which has been formed as a kind of depot during
the winter. They are all new horses, which have
never been in the Crimea, and the men mostly
recruits, yet they made a very good show, which
is very creditable to the officer who succeeded so
well in so short a time.

The King's Dragoon Guards were the next re-
giment, after them came the 4th Dragoon Guards,
the sth Dragoons, the Scots Greys, the En niskillens,
and the Royal Dragoons, in fact, the original heavy
brigade sent out at the beginning of the war. •
The 6th Dragoon Guards or Carabineers were
at the head_ of the Light Brigade. The 12th
Lancers, on their Indian Arabs, followed theCarabi-
neers ; and the 13th and 4th Dragoons led the van
of. the Light, epalry Brigade. In the rear of all
came a troop af;psmanli Horse Artillery.
When Ili& tOoops—infaritry, cavalry, and artil-
lery—had. thul.pa.ssed once, the cavalry and artil-
lery passed once•.more at a trot.
After the cavalry and artillery had marched past,
the Sultan thanked General Storks, and compli-
mented him on the appearance of the troops. Then
the whole cortege rode to the tent, where the Sultan
dismounted and stopped outside. A detachment of
13th Light Dragoons kept the ground clear in front.
The Sultan entertained himself for some time with
Lord Stratford, and then expressed a wish to see
Lady Stratford and the Miss Cunnings. Besides this,
he desired to have all the commanding officers of
brigades and regiments presented to him. In gene.
ral, he seemed exceedingly gracious and well pleased.
Usually be has an expression of ennui and weari-
ness in his face, in some measure attributable to
the immobility which etiquette prescribes to him
in public, but whether he was in good humour this
day, or whether the military sight bad excited him,
certain it is that be looked much more lively than
usual, and took a good deal of interest in the ap-
pearance of the troops, as his repeated questions
while they were passing showed.
At 2 p.m. he gave the order to have his horse
brought, and rode off towards the Palace of Beg-
lerbeg.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY.

The Turkish ratification left Constantinople on
the 14th inst.
The last mail from the East states that the in-
surgents against the Porte in Arabia have suf-
fered so much from cholera, as almost to put
down the insurrection.
The reports affirm that 13,000 have died out
of an insurgent tribe of 45,000.
The Paris correspondent of Le Nord informs us
that, previous to quitting Paris, Count Cavour
had an interview with Count Walewski, and
handed to him, in the name of the Sardinian Govern-
ment, a note, in which are summarised the obser-
vations offered by Count Cavour upon the situation
of Italy, in the sittings of the Conference, on the
Bth and 16th of April. This note is intended to
absolve Piedmont from the responsibility of the
events which may transpire in Italy, r.s the result
of the bad administration of certain States and of
Austrian intervention in the Legations, the
Duchies, Naples, &c. The note is to be presented
also to the English Government.
The conclusion of peace was announced to the
French army by Marshal Pelit,sier in the following
proclamation :

" Soldiers,—The Emperor lately said to your brethren,
You have well deserved of the country.' You will
successively hear, in your turn, the same expressions
from the august lips of his Majesty.
"Soldiers,—By your energy, by your resolution, your
heroic constancy, your indomitable courage, you have
achieved, with our brave and faithful allies, the peace of
the world.
" I have a right to say it, at the sight of so many
fields of battle sprinkled with your blood, witnesses of
your calm self-denial, and from which each time your
glory rose more radiant and noble, and crowned your
sublime efforts.
"You will shortly see again your country, happy at
your return, happy, at a glorious peace, a peace signed
at the cradle of an Imperial infant. Let us all be im-
pressed with that augury, let us find in it a new sign of
Divine protection, and, if necessary, an additional in-
ducement to accomplish all our duties towards the Em-
peror and the country.
"The Marshal Commander-in-m;(4. •
