War.

M de Bourqueney, French Ambassador, at
Vienna, is expected at Paris on leave of absence.
Feruk Khan is expected to leave Paris for Lon-

of settlement, through the (non-official) instrumen-

occupation
nattihoen
of that place and neighbourhood by the English :
" The part of the army remaining outside the town
are in wooden huts, exactly like those used in the
Crimea. The head-quarters:areon an eminence, to which
the name of Balaklava has been given ; and the inner
bay has been designated the harbour of Sebastopol.
Three days after the place was taken, two Protestant
churches were established ; they are in a new quarter of
the town, called Victoria City. A race-course has
also been established, and the first day's running was to
take place on .Tan. 1, the horses of the coxntry being
admitted to contest for the prizes. A few days after
the installation of the troops, a proposition was made
to the general-in-chief to establish a railway across
the town and the English lines, a distance of about
two miles. The proposition was accepted, and the line
is to be made without delay. A cemetery has been
marked out, and surrounded by a dry wall. In the
centre has been erected a monument to General Stop-
ford, killed at the taking of the town. It is formed
of a pyramid of red marble, on the base of which have
been inscribed the General's name and titles, and the
date of his death. Near this monument are the tombs
of Lieut.-Col Mallet, Captain Wood, and Lieutenant
Uttersen, all killed on the same ocsasion • and those of
three other '
officers, who were carried off by illness since
the occupation."
