urday with the Collins boats, the former for
Halifax and Boston, and the latter for New
York.
The alarm in England relative to the posi-
ton of the allied armies in the Crimea, seemed
to be subsiding, and the reinforcements which

fully.

twenty thousand men, have been shipped by
the British government.
