too, the four frigates in reserve, received
instructions to add their cannonades in support Of
the three who occupied the van, which they com

seven frigates together seem to have poured in
their shot like hail ON the Imperial port and arse

At IL o'clock the vaubm had extinguished her
fire. and assumed her place. At once lurid flames
burst over the roofs Of the houses and the barracks
of the Imperial port and almost at the same time,
the powder magazine of the port battery exploded,
mid the laundering cheers of the English and French
crews, when for the first time, the national hurrah

ed the MOLE for the purpose Of finging in cOngreve
rockets, which they did with considerable effect,
doubtless gave rise to the report that landing was
attempted, but repulsed. Among the French two

The Moniteur has announced the recall Of Gene

Constantinople, in order to take the command Of
the camp about to be Immediately formed at St.
Omer: The fact is, that the style Of the
French military is very. often the reverse Of
that ssloriter IN n1odo which is ordinarily sup
posed to be the characteristic mark Of French
manners; and it is well known that throughout Gen.

the Porte's wholesale expulsion Of the Greeks The
arrival Of Prince Napoleon has put stop to this

Louis Napoleon is known likewise to be seriously
hurt at the authoritative manner in which General
Canrobert has conducted himself with respect to
the accommodation Of the troops at Galipoli. But
perhaps this is not the period at which the manners

Great preparations are being made to organize
the Cent Gardes, which is to be selected from the
non-commssioned officers of most approved fipnre

is being arranged for their accommodation. The
Guides will be henceforth the Imperial Guards, q

hours to the study Of the art mlitaire, and that
whenever the proper and fitting occasion shall arise
