j THE OPPOSING ARMIES ~ THE oalaEA.
We copy the following from the London Chson .cle Of
the 20th ultino:
aThe opposing armies in the crmea h'
retired into winter quarters they byt 20 not properly

,and reviewing will constitute the ordinary business
II the army for the next few months; marching
a. lighting. That serious intention of further
winter intended may be inferred from the OF
our heavy cavalry who have already begun to leave the
W banks of the Bosphorus
"With respect to the further reinforcement of
army an important announcement made at the meet
ing of Poles assembled Saturday soemnize the anni
yersary of Lord Dudley Stuars death On that occasion
Count zamoyski announced to the meeting that he had
that very day received authority from the British govern
ment to form Polish division consisting, in the first in
stance of two regiments Of cavalry two Of infantry and
battalion of rifles The drisioa DC qiached TIC
Turkish contingent and acoud bs nonbaaiiy part gf the
army 9 nc Suan, though paid by tae British go0eramen
Poles towards their old oppressor that he anticipates no
difficulty in the immediate mbodmen OF these regiments,
and he added that he had himself made il condition with
the government that bounty should be offered to the
,o men, as the Poles are expected to volunteer.
We shall be glad find that the sanguine antcipa-
tons of this officer who, remember greatly distinguished
himself in the Polish nsurrecton of $780, realized.
Indeed his expectations extend beyond the voluntary inn
IN bodment of the Poles scattered exles throughout
Europe for he anticipates that the Polish BAN
floating the field the deerter Of the ranks
d of the Russian army will of themselves fill up the corps,
IL and make imposing and effective force We hardly
expect much this but most of the Poles who
at present wearing their lives in bitter exile
duced to this extremity from the fact that they had borne
against Russia is surely much expect that
they would again be ready to march against their old
my, and this time with brighter hopes of success

i The following from The London Journal OF Commerce s
n significant:
- The prospects however problemaiica and remote Of
any interruption OF peaceful commercial relations with
the United States which awakens grave reflections
regards manufacturing interests Neither country
could gain nyhing by angry differences and possible hos
tilities, whilst each has much TO lose, and their mutual

of the value of 100000 sterling annual
