AMENITIES OF WAR IN THE CRIMEA-The
French troops are opposite the Russians along the
whole line of the Tchernaya. few days since
the French soldiers, who always ingenious In
finding means Of passing away the time, put them
selves along the line of advanced posts, in direct
communication with the Russian soldiers placed

ence.
The French soldiers then showed their bread and
coffee and the Russians their gourds OF brandy
and then with common accord advanced toward
each other without arms, and took their coffee and
brandy together. 1t appears that this kind of re-
creation went on for some days without the knowl
edge of the French and Russian officers. The
Gringalet Battery at times sent some shot among
these jovial gentlemen, but that did not prevent
the meetings from taking place. few days since
the General was informed of the fact and the most
rigorous orders were issued to put stop to such
proceedings. The captain, who ought at first to
have prevented them, has been punished.

a REMARkABlE FRAUD.-A most extraordinary
instance of official peculaton has recently come to
light i'll Russia. 1t appears that in the returns of
the army there had always figured for equipment,
pay, munitions and supplies, and for force of 3,
OO0 men, so-called division of reserve. which
ought TO consist of one two companies from each
regiment serving in the Great Caucasus This di-
vision employ ed in keeping the outposts among
the mountains. They made great fuss about the
little forts built or building for it, and which were
garrisoned by small detachments from the main
body, i'll conformity with the regulations One
day, General WorOnzoff, the Emperor's viceroy in
the Caucasus, set out with princely suite for the
purpose of inspecting these $4,000 men. He reach
ed village, and commanded superior officer to
order the detaehments of the division to assemble
for the purpose of being reviewed He was told
that the posts We're 80 scattered among the noun
tans thas it would require at least three weeks to
get the troops together and being in danger of fam
inc if he remained in the place with his numerous
retlnue, the General relinquished the object of his
visit.
When the campaign in Asia was ordered by the
Emperor Nicholas General Mouravieff seeing this
contingent of Il, 600 men figure in the army list
took it also into his head to go and ascertain the
state of these troops. He took the precaution to
travel without retinne, taking only single aid.
de-camp, and meeting with the same reception as
his predecessor announced his intention of waiting
until the troops could be collected from the msun
tain fortresses. He did not wait in idleness how.
over, but from active personal inspection came to
the conclusion that the forts had never been built
and that the inen existed only on paper. Conse-
quently, for the twenty-five or thirty wears that
war had been waged in the Caucasus, the Russian
government had been paying enormous sums for
construction of commercial forts true castles in
the air.
