FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, dated July 7.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE IO.—M. de tikiyer,
Minister Plenipotentiary of Prussia to the Portel,
arrived here from Naples on the 7th instant. He
sent M. Brassier de St. Simon, his Secretary of
Legation, to notify his arrival to the Ministers of the
Porte, and he received to-day an official visit from
bchak Effendi, the interpreter of the Porte. The
Ambassadors of France and England, who left Naples
almost at the same time as M. de Royer, arrived on
the sth at the entrance of the Gulf of Striyrna,
whence they will immediately proceed to the Dar-
danelles, where the commissioners appointed to
receive them are in attendance. At the same time
with them several French and English men of war
arrived in the bay of Smyrna. The Russian fleet at
Tenedos lately consisted of 19 sail.
The Turkish fleet, since its first return to the
Bosphorus, has since made two other excursions into
the Black 'Sea, where it probably is at present, as
no news has been received of its operations since it
sailed for the third time, which was on the 7th.
On its second excursion on the 26th May, it had
a serious engagement, in which a Russian brig, the
Mercury, bravely defended itself against the Turkish
Admiral's and Vice-Admiral's ships, and did not
escape without suffering severely.
The Raphael Russian frigate, which was taken
by the Capitan Pacha on its first cruise, has been
manned with a Turkish crew, and will be employed
against the enemy. The crew, with the officers,
have been sent to the Bagnio. We have no posi-
tive news from Asia, but travellers relate that
General Paskewitach, after having left sufficient gar-
risons in the conquered fortresses of Tropokali, Kars
Diadin, and Bajazid, has retired towards Goumri.#
There is a report here of a second battle said to
have taken place on the Ist of June, between Pra-
vadi and Kosludjih, between the troops of the
Grand Vizier and the corps of General Roth, but
the Porte has no more published a bulletin on this
affair than upon that of the 17th of May.
Osman Aga, the topchi•bachi (general of artil-
lery), and the treasurer of the Seraskier Mistimed
Pacha, have been raised to the rank of Pachas of
Two Tails, retaining the offices which they have
hitherto held.

The considerable supplies which have arrived
from different quarters have completely removed
the scarcity of provisions, and the prices will fall
still more after the harvest, which promises to be
abundant.—Austrian Observer.

THE ARMY.

THE SECOND BATTALION OP THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS.

The second battalion of the Coldstream Regiment of
Guards was inspected yesterday morning in the Tower, by
General Lord Hill, Commanding in Chief. The battalion
merely marched past in slow and quick time, but did not,
owing to the circumscribed nature of the ground, perform
Any evolutions. Colonel Sir Wm. Gomm, K.C.8., com-
manded the battalion.

The following detachments disembarked on Tuesday at
the Leith Wharf, from on board the Royal Sovereign, on
route to join their respective depots :—viz. the second bat-
talion of the 60th Foot, for Portsmouth; the 94th Infantry,
for Portsmouth, on route to Plymouth.
We are authorised to state that the report of an intention
to disband the whole of the Royal Staff Corps is without
foundation. Four companies have been reduced, and the
men who marched through Maidstone on Friday, com-
►nanded by Captain White, were a part of the reduced com-
panies, who were going to Chatham to be disposed of.—
