CONsTANTINOPLE, Dee. !, 1865.
Since my last letter the allied naval forces on
the Crimean coast have continued 20 leave IL and
to return to France and England. l am told that
only two English and two French screw line-Of
battle ships and few small steamers remain to
some days the weather has bepn extremely holster
Gus. and fear We shall have bad accounts of the
transports lying in the open roadstead OF kamiesh
There is also large number OF vessels IN the oflns
before Balaklaya, i'll the same place where 80 many
were wrecked in November Of last year. The
Allies are sending back to Malta aud Marseilles
all the bombs and heavy she'll and shot which had
accumulated and were net needed at the siege.
Many vessels containing these objects had not
landed them. The heavy siege-traIn is likewise
being sent away, and this would show that there
will be no serious attack made upon the north side
of Ssvastopo All of the cavalry is coming down
here for the Winter. The armies have hutted
themselves as well as they can and there is no ap-
pearance of any more fighting in the Crimea until
next season, except the Russians make an attack.
But few American ships remain in the service of
the Allies and learn that as fast as they unload
they are dismissed Some continue 10 arrive with
hay and provisions from France and different ports
OF the Mediterranean
Tie Americans OF COnst6ntinOple have been
good deal annoyed with the rude attempts of the
British press to get up bad feelings between the
United States and England. Thisis regarded here
as only matter of home policy, TO withdraw the
attention of the English people from their feet,
now returning from the Baltic without having
effected anything, and from the trste figure which
the British army in the Crmea occupies in the
eyes Of the world account Of its bad ,eneralship
and acknowledgement in the affair of the RedaD.
The two papers of this pace-that is the Journal
de COHsianiinopie, and the PrsSse d Oreat-hsve
copied some Of these silly articles Of The London
Tunes, and began TO fill the public mind here with
the idea that a war was really on the eve OF being
declared between England and the United states.
IL was said and universally believed that the United
States acting Consul here had notified the Ameri-
can ships in the port not 10 leave il until the exist
ing difficulties between the two countries should be
settled A letter was recently addressed TO the
Journal de Coasanfia0pie by an American here
deprecatng such articles and showing the folly of
the grounds on which, il said, these difficulties
rested / endesvored also 10 convey the idea that
there existed no bad feelings in the United States
toward England and that such an event as war
would be greatly lamented by all the rejecting men
in the United States. l believe the article had
beneficial effect, inssmueh as il caused beth these
papers 10 change their tone. The Sultans Gov.
feelings of the people OF the United States and il
is believed advised these papers Rot to publish any
more such articles, which could only serve 20
create bitter feeling unnecessarily.
Commodore Breese, in the steamer Saransc
has just left here for Alexandria. He spent a
week here, and had ali audience of the Sultan,
when both he aud Mr.. Spencer (the United States
Minister ! am told, assured his Majesty of the
best feelings OF the American Government toward
himself and his Government. Commodore Bree,e
was accompanied BY his lady, and her sister, Miss
Lovett of Washington.
TIE store-shiP Supply, commanded by Captain
Porter, has also sailed for Egypt where they will
procure ten or twelve dromedaries. Two Of the
camels witch they had on board " ben she arrived
here. and which had been presented to the United
States Government by the Beg of Tunis, were
sold here for some Sl5 piece. They had been
Kept on board about three months as trial Of
their resistance TO confinement on ship board. AID
daring that time had become so diseased with the
itch that no other purchaser could be found for
then, but Greek butcher, who procured them
for the Tsrpcse 81 killing them 10 make sau,sges
