The war---Private Letter from an Amer.
loan Sold err

Paris, Thursday, Jnue Is, 1854 have Just
been shown private letter from Col. Bowies, OF
The United States army. dated at Constantinople.
and directed TO a gentleman in this city, which
contalnS very clear and impartial resume OF the
situation OF The belligerent forces at this moment
Col. b. has received command in the Turkish
service, and was on his way 10 take his place in
The army. The French and English journals ex-
aggerate so VIGOROUSLY in regard to the situation
OF affairs IN order 10 keep up home enthusiasm in
favor OF the war, that little evidence coming
tr'm an Intelligent and an impartial source is OF
great value.
Col Bowles was present at Athens when the
French and English landed and took possession oil
the Grecian capital. He represents the general
appearances and bearing ofthe soldiers that occa-
sion. as the finest he ever saw. He thinks that
submission OF the Greek is one of compusion
entirely, and says that they curse the French and
English TO The journals of Pans and
London, on the contrary, represents King Ohio
anu great portion OF his subjects overoy at
The allied intervention. Colonel Bowles repre-
sentS the conduct of the French and English com
lnanders on the occasion as high handed and arbi-
trary i'll the extreme. Orders were given to the
war vessels IN port, that If the Queen attempted
TO escape by sea, as was anticipated, she should
be seized and held prisoner, until the king
signed the terms imposed upon him.
tie says that UT TO the present time The majority
OF successes have been i'll favor of the Russians;
that the reports published by the Turks of the
Stant lnmeISe losses OH the part of the Russians,
md the Insignificant losses ON their own part are
gross exaggerationS, scaIcrly surpassed by the
Russian bullltns themselves. He represents the
English anu French armies as being the most per-
lect i'll their equipments, exercises and military
bearing OF any armies perhaps of modern times;
while the Turks, on the contrary, are sadly want
ing i'll IL these attributes.
There are 100000 Russians on Turkish SOIL
while opposed TO tlem are at present but 10000
English and French, and 100000 Turks. This
force unie,! and strongly enirenched, can act on
the defensive; but as for acting on the offensive,
he CONSIDERS it imposSible They may deferd the
passage in the Balkans, but they cannot drive the
Russians out of the Principahties.
The army of Asia lie represents in more de-
Plorabe condition still, anu states that it occupies
position so critical that If not relieved soon by
reinforcement of good soldiers, twill inevitably
be cut TO pieces or Sebastopol he s. Us that, aid
ed by the Russian fleet, it will be port so difficult
10 take that The combined fleets are afraid to at
tack it.
The prospect seems gloomy enough, but when it
is recoilected that Turkey las really accomplish
ed nothing substantial thus lar as the result of
battle, while on the contrary Russia has constant
ly advanced, there seems some ground Tor the con
clusions al which Col. Bowles arrves-N Y.

A Most Wonderful Escane.

Floatlng on tue Ocean in c Basket.-Of all the narratives of those who escaped from the wreck of the Arctic, we consider that of Ja ames Smith, of Natchez, Mississippi, the most extraordinary. He was for over two days alone on raft made of barely three boards lashed together with Sopes - cold, wet, and hungry-constantlv struggling for his life-for every swell of the sea, however slight, washed over him, and vet he was saved. His fortunate acquisition of floating tin-lined basket, used for dinner dishes, and getting inside of it gave him species of Moses-like ark; we should think that his tin bed must have been rather cool. MT. Smith speaks of his deliverance as providential, for he had resigned himself to die and made his last prayer. As he rose from his knees the floating basket renewed his hope of life, and after he had padded up to it and ashed it on board his tiny raft he considered himself com paratively safe, for he could then doze or sleep without the previous imminent danger of being washed overheard if he closed his eyes for moment
 He was one of those taken up and carried to Quebec.
