AMENITIES OF WAR IN THE CR1MEA.-The French

AMENITIES OF WAR IN THE CRIMEA.-The French
troops opposite the Russians along the whole line
of the Tcherraya. A few days since the French
soldiers who always ingenious in finding means
of passing away the time, put themselves along the
line of advanced posts, in direct communication with
the Russian soldiers placed opposite to them. The
plan which they adopted was this They hoised on
the end of their bayonets small white handker-
chiefs the Russian soldiers, not to be wanting in
politeness, did the same thus showing that they were
disposed for a conference
The French soldiers then showed their bread and
coffee, and the Russians their gouds 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 recreation
went on Tor some days without the knowledge of the
French or Russian officers. The Gringalel Battery
at times sent some shot among these jovial gentle
men, but that did not prevent the meetings from ia
KING place. few days since the General was in
formed 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
The CUTTING OF MAHOGANY PROHIBITED IN Hay
TIA letter from Port au Prince recently received
in Boston, SAYS:
We have to inform you that the Emperor has
just published ediCt prohibiting the further cut
ting OF mahogany and also the transportation to the
seaboard of what wood is cut in the interior
Only such parcels already their way down,
or at the shipping ports, can be expedited and the
quantity of these is very small, and stock entire
ly exhausted. The only plausible reason that can
be assigned tor this measure, which has been for
some time III contemplation is that his majesty wish
es to turn the attention Of his people 10 the
cultivation of their fields and the production of
ground provisions, the quantity of which has been
rapidly diminishing for the past few years, and is
insufficient for the supply of their necessities"
The letter also states that Souoque is aCcumula-
ting large army to invade the Dominican side of
the island, ard has ordered all the clerks six
teen years of age in Port Prince to enlis:
