Present—The Pleoipctentiaries of Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia, Runsia, Sard! ey "The Proweol of the preceding sitting is read and approved. FPne Earl of CLaRENDON remarks that in the last meet- trg, aud in coneequence of the other plenipotentiaries net being yet ize position to accede to other propret- tions, the Congress had confined itself to agreeing upon the raising of the bioekades. Me announces that the Plenipe entiaries of Great Britain are now authorized to make known that the restrictive decisions imposed on the occasion of the war on commerce and navigation are on the eve of being rerched, ‘The Plenipotentiaries of Russia having repeated the corresponcing ¢ec.sration which they made in the sit- ting of the 4thof April, and all the other Pienipoten- tiaries having ¢xpressed a favorabie opinion, the Con- gress cetermines that all the measures, without distinc- tion, adopted at the eommencement er on the prospect of war, and baving for their object to suspend commerce end ravigation with the enemy, shal! be abrogated, acd ‘that in a) that concerns either commercial transactians, without excepting from thew oontraband of war, or the despatch of mer cise, and the treatment of merchant vessels, matters ate everywhere replaced trom this date on the fouting on whic! were before the war ‘The Pleripoten:iaries of Russia announce that they have received orders to declare, in reply to the request which bas been made to them on the subject, chat the port of Sebastopol will be opened to the vessels of the allied Powers, in order to accelerate the emoa:kstion of tbeir troops and of their material. They add that the instructions which have reached them allow them to give the assurance that the evacuation of the O:toman territory in Asia by the Russian army, wi!l commence immediately after the exchange of ra iticaifons; that, as Soop as the feason and the state of the roads shall admit of it, the transport of the msgazives and of the material of war will be prooeec ed with; and that the general move- ments of toe Ruesian army will be effected simul 'aneous- ly with that of the allies, sod will be concluded at the same time, and within the periods fixed for the evacua- tion of the other territories. £ In the name of tne commission charged with the pre- psration thereof, Baron Bourquensy reads a dra’t of instrac‘ions iatend- ed for the commisnior ers who will have to proceed to the Prineipalities, according to the terms of article 23 of the treaty of peace, The Karl of CLARNNDON remarks that the Oongress, in taking up the quesiion of the Dapubian Prinsipali:iey, proposed to itseif as @ primery obj-ct to elicit the expres- sion, freely uttered, of tae wishes of the people, and that this objest mignt pcasibly not be realized if the Horpo- dare remained in ponteesion of the powers now at their command, and it might possibly be proper to devise s»me arrangement calculated to enaure complete freedom to the Divans ad hoc. The first Pienipoten’ of Austria replies that the acmisistration should not be meddled with at a period of transition such as thst through which the Principalitiva are about to pass, unless with extreme ceution, ana that it would tend 10 compromise everything if an end were put to all existing powers before fresh ones had been con- stituted; that in any case the Congress should leave to the Porte the care of adopting the measures which might be ceemed ecessary. Aau Pacua states that possibly the existing adminie- tration does not offer all the guarantees which the Con- gress might desire, but that there would be danger of Fremont any attempt were made to deviate from the order. pid CLARENDON represents that he by no means in- tends to prepose the subversion of the whole of the Pow- er, sud, with o‘her plenipoteniaties, he remarks that the authoricy of tee present Hospedara is approaching the term fixed by the arrangement which entrusted it to them, and that inorder to keep within the bounds of legal order, this 1s precisely the moment fer delibera- tom. z Several Plenipotentiaries likewise remark that the or- ps law anticipates the interruption of the p.wer of the Horpedars. After these explanations the Congress cesides that it leaves to the Sabiime Porie to adopt, if occasion arises, on the expiration of the powers of the present H ‘spodars, the measures which may benecestary and proper for ful- filing the intentions of the Congress, y. combinicg the free exprersion cf the wisues of tae Diyans with tue iedatecnice ot Ort oe and reepect for the iegal sta.e of ing? OF ike proposal sf the first Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain and of France, snd in order to prevent any c7n- flict or diteustions wrich might give oocarion forfrerret, i: is kewise agreed that the firman whish is to deuree the copv.cstion of the Divans ad hoc thall fix the rules to te obrerved in regard to the presicensy over thove ss- sembhép, and the mode of their dehberations. After bavirg taken there resoluticns the Congress acopts, subject to scme modifications which inserted in them, the instructions of which M. le Baron Bourque- ney presentec the project, and whish are annexed to the present pro‘ccoi, Count WaLewsk! rays thet it is desirable that the Pie- rtpotentia: ies, before they separate, shou'd interchange toetr ideas on different tubjects which requive to be seltl d, apd whieu it might be advantageous to take up ip order to prevent fresh com plication. Althon=) spe- cially acsembled for setting the Bastern questiva, the Congres, acco: ding to the first Plenipotentiary ot F'rance, might reproach itself for not having taken advantaga of the cl: cumstance which brirgs together the represent - tives of the principal Powers uf Europe, to clear up cer- tain questions, to isy down cer‘ain principles, to express intentions, ia fine to make certain declarati-r> always and sclely with the view of ensuring the fatv . .cangul- lity of the world, by dispelling the clouds wh ch are still seen icoming on tue political horizon before they beeome it cannot be denied, he says, that “reece Toe anarchy to which 1) vt cow pelled France ard Englau tosend time when their armies, never- theless, did not want occupation. The Congress knows in what stete Greece was; nei‘her isit ignorant tbat ~ 1st in which it now is, is far from being satisfactory. Would it not, therefore, be advantageous that the Power» repre- sented im the Congrers thoold manifest ene wish ‘the three protecting courts take into sertus cop: --stion the deplorable rituation of tie kicatom w ‘\ they bave created, and deviee mesns wo make provisio: or itt Count Walewski does not aoubt thar the Earl of U «:eadon will join with bim ix deciaziog that the two goverc ents await with impatiesce the time when they sha'l be liberty to terminate an cecupatiom to which nevertheless they sze unable without the most serious inconverien to put anend, so lorg as real modifications ehail not be introduced into the § ate of things in Gieece. The firat Pievipot ntiary of France then ooeerves that the Poati- fiesl States are equely in an abnormal state—thut the necessi y for not leavisg the country to anazchy had de- ciced France as wellas Austria to comply wita the de- mand of the Holy See by causing Rome to be oc supisd by her trcops while the Aurt:isn troops occupied the Lega- tions. He etates that France bad a twotoid motive for complying without hesitation with the demand of the Hoty See, as » Catholic Power, and as an European Power, The title of eidet son of the Chureh, which is the dosst of the sovereign o France, makes it a daty for the Emperor to afford aid and support to the Soversign Pontiff; the tranqnillity ot the Koman States, and that of the whole ct Italy, afleets too closely the main- tenance of | order in Europe for Vrance not to beve ao ves) ing interest in securing it Ly all means in her power. But, ou the other band, Higa 1mponetble to overlock the} abnorms! condition of a Power whitch, in orcer to maintain itself, requires to be supported’ by foreign troops, Count Walewsk! does not hesitate to de- ciare, ond he trusts that Count Buol will join in the de- claralicn, that not only is France ready to withcraw her troops but that she earnestly desires to recall them so soon ae that can be cons without incomvenisnes as re- gards the internal tranquil ity of the country and the au- | thority ofthe Pontifical government, in the prosperity of which the Emperor, his august sovereign, takes ins most lively interest. he firat Plenipotentiary of France re- resents bow ceeirable it is fur the balance of power ia nrope thet the Roman governraent should be con- solicated im sufficient strength for the Freach an4 Austrian troops to be able, without inconveniences, to evacuate the Pontifical States, aad he considers that a ish expreaved in this sense might not be without ad- vantage. Ie any, case he does not doubt that the as. surarees which might be given vy France and Austria as to their resi intentions in this respect would have a ssintary iufineces. Foliowing up the | id Count Walewrki asks himself if iti tired that certain governments ot the Italiaa pe: hy well devised acts of clemency, and by rallying to themselves minds gone ast’ay and not perverted, snouid put an ¢nd toa system whico is dizectiy ed to ite oFject, sud which icatead of reaching the enemies of public order, bas the effect of weakening governments, and of furnishieg partisans to popa'ar faction. Io his opinion jt would render @ rignal eervice to the govern- went of the Two tie#, a8 wei! as to the cause of order in the Itslian peninsula, to enlighten that government a6 to the false course im which it ie engaged, He is of opinion that warpir gs eoncatved in this sense, aad pro- ceedisg from ‘he Powers represented in the Congresa, would be the better reosived by the Neapolitan govern: ment, a# that government could not doabt the motives which dictated them. The f Plenipotentiary of Frence then says that he mus* cali tke attention of the Corgrees to @ subject which, although more partica. larly affecting Franca, is not the lets of great tatereat for all the Powers ot Earope. He considers it su- perfluoua to s'nte that there are every day printed {on Belgium pubjications the mont iosulting, the most hostile against France sod her government; that revolt end aeensvination sre opealy advocated ia he remarks thet quive recently Belgian apers bave ventured to ex'ol the society called “La janne,’’ the tendencies and object of whica are known | that ail these publications are #0 many implementa of | war directed sgainet the repore and tranqat'lity of France by the enemies of vovial ord nity whish they find under t gelation, retain the hope © culpable designs. Count Walewski declares that the in- | tention and pole desire of the government of the empire | | i to maintain the best relations with Belgium; he readily odds that France bas reason to be satisfied with the Bel- gian government, and with ita efforts t> mitigate a state of ‘hings whieh i is ueable to alter, (te leginiation not allowing it ¢i*her to reetrain the exeenses of che press, or to take the initiative it jeform whieh has beoome abso- | way ince pensable.

This would imoeed by a glorious result, 10 which none of us eas be incre “ U rl cf CLARENDON tharing the opinions by Count Walewshi, deciares that, like France, and proposes to reea'l the. 1rcops which she was -obiiged 20 fend to Greece, 80 soon as she shall be abie to ¢o se with- out inconvenience to the public tranquillity; but tpat it is veceseary, in the first instance, to solid gua- rantees for the maintenance of state ot things. Accorcing to him, the protecting Powers may sere among themselves upon the remedy which it is ia- bs pensable to apply to ‘stem injurious to the oonn- wi and which bas altogether depstted from the objact ich they bad preoned to vant Ta when ing there an mdependent monrrchy, for the well-bein; and. prosperity ofthe Greek poople.’ The first Plenio-f tentiary of Great Britain remarks that the treaty o° March 30 opens a new era; that, as the Emperor had said to the Congress, on receivirg it efter the signature of the treaty, this era is that of peace; but, in order to be Serre bbe be omitted 2 gery : peace solid and Jas \t, Fe 1 Powers of Europe, the Corgvees would aif in ian rit, on separating, it sanctioned, by its silence, a state of thirge whion is irjurious to’ the political equill>riam, and which is far from securing peace trom ali danger ia one of the most interesting countries of Europa. We have just provided, continues the Earl ot Cis- rendon, tories for the evacuation of the different terri- cecupied by foreign armies during the war; we just taken the solemn engagement to effect the eva- custion within ike shortest period; how would it be pos- rible for us not seriously to advert to occupations which place before the war. and to abstain from devising meaps fcr putting an exdtothem? The first Plenipo- tentiary of Great Britain does not consider it of any use to inquire as to the causes which have broughtin foreign armies upon various eae ot Italy, bat ne considers that even admivting that thore causes were legitimate, it is rot the jess true, he says that the result is an wal snd irregular siate of things, which can be jus ified only by extreme necessity, snd which should come to an end as socn as that necessi:y is no imperiously felt: that nevertheiess, 11 eodeavors are not made to pat an¢nit» that necessity, it will continue to exist; tnat if we are content to depend upon the armed force instead of seeking to apply a remedy to the just causes of discon- tent, it is certain that a system littie honorable for the governments, and lamentable for the people, will be per- wuated. He conceives that the administration of the man States presenta inconvenisnees from wheace dapgers may arise which the Corgress has the right to ‘aitexcpt to avert; that to neglect them would be to run the risk of labaring for the benefit of <he revolu‘ion, which ali the governments condemn and wish to prevent. The problem which jt is @ matter of urgency to solve, consista, he conceives, in combining the retreat of the foreign troops with the maintevante of tranquility, and the solution depends on the organization ot »u aimiciswation which, by reviving confidence, would rencer ‘he government imdependent of foreign support; that support never su in muin- taizizg a government to which the public sendment is hostile, and there would result from i+, im his opinion, « part which France and Aurtria wouid not wish their ar- mies to perform. For the well-peing of the Pontificial States, as also for the intorest of the sovereign autho-ity of the Pope, it would therefore, in nis opinion, be edvaa- tageous to recommend the secularization of the govern- ment, and the organization of an admintstrative sys- tem in harmony with the spirit of the age, aod havirg for {is object the happiuers of the people. He acmite that this reform might perbapa off-r in Rome iteelf, at the present moment, oe: difi- culties; but he thinks that it might easily be accomplished in the legations, The frat Pienipoten- tiary of Great Britein ovserves that for the Inst eight Furl Gltreta aro Bacoaced by brigande: ey bo Doped, roral districts are y : it may pe be thinks, that LS lpi er ‘in this part of the Roman States an administrative and Judicial system at once secular and distinct, and that by organtaing there @ na- tional armed force. security and confidence would rapidiy be restored, and the Austrian troops night shortly with- draw without having toapprehend the return of treeh troubles; it is at least an experiment which, in his opt. rion, cught to be opted, and this remedy propered for indisputavle evils ought ‘to be submitted by the con- Bre's to the sericus consideration of the Po As re- garce the Neapolitan government, the first Plen'p er- Yary of Great Britain 1s desirous of in itating the exam- pe given him by Count Waleweki, by passing over in tilenee ects which have obtained ruch grievous noto- riety. Heis of opinion that it must doubtless be ad- mitted ip prieciple that oN dane ts has the rigat to interfere im the inte Sffairs of other States, but he ecnsiders there are cates in which the exception to this rule tecomes equally a right and a duty. Tie Neepilitan goverpment sccms to him to have conferred this right, and to have imp sed this du'y upon Europe; and as the governments repro- sented in the Congress are all equally dertrous to support the monarchical principle and to repel revoiu- Sion, it is a duty to Hit up ‘he voise against a +) ‘em ‘Which keeps up revsluticnary fermentamong the marses instead of seeking to moderate it, ‘Wedo not wish,” he saya, “that peace should be disturbed, and there is no ee ¥itbout justice; we ought, then, tomake known to the King of Naples the wish of the Congress for the ameiiora‘ion cf bis system of government—s wish waich cannot iemain without effec, require of h nan aunesty in favor of the persons who have been con- ¢emned or who are imprisoned without trial for p trical effences.”’ As regards the obervations offe-ed by - sunt Walewski on the cxcesces of the Belgian p-ess, aud the dangers which result therefrom for the aajcfaing eoan- tries, the Plenipotentiaries of England admit ti: ic im- portance; but, as the representatives of a county in which a tree ana independ-nt 3 is, 80 to Bay, one of the fundamental institutions, ay cannot anrociate then- selves to mearures of coercion sgamet the pres of en- other s‘ate, The, first Plenipotentiary of Great Britain, while deploricg the violence in which certain organs of the Belgian press induige doesnot hesitate to declare that the authcrs of the execratle doctrines to which Count Walewshi alludes, the men who preach esesstivation as the means of attaining a politica! object,a:e undererving of the proteciion which guarantees to the press its Hber.y ard its independence. In concludizg, the Earl of Ciaren- don cbserves that, like France, Fogiend at the oom- mencement of the war sought by every means to mitigaie its effec’s, and that with this view she renouneed, for the benefit of neutrals during the struggle which has now come to snend, priccipies which, up to that time, sie hsd invariably maintsined.

As for the it might be considered advant lates to the state of affairs in a Baron Pri preent various inconveniences. He says that it migat well to ask ore’s self whe her admunitions sash as thore which have been proposed would not excite in the country a spirit of opposition and revolutionary move- ments, instead of answering to the ideas which it had been ccntemplated to carry out, certainly wih a benevo- lent intention. He des not deem it proper to enter Epes an examination of the actual situation of the Pontitical States. He ocnfines himsel: to expressing the desire that it may be possible to the government in a condi‘ion which wou'd henseforth render superfiuous the oocups- tion of foreign troops. Biron s#antedffel concludes by nN ous to take, in what re- deolt that the Prussian Cabinet fully edmits the per- nicious ir fluence exe: cised by the press, suvversive of all regular order, and the dangers which it propagates by preacbing up regicide and revolt; he adds, thas Prussia ‘would miar ily take part in the inquiry into the m:a- sures which might be deemed suitable for putting an end to euch practices. oe Cavour does be: mean to sence Ss right ie each Plenipotentiary not to, take par’ used on of ry Musation which {snot contemplated by his ins'rue'ions; it is pever be’ess, he ‘thinks, of the atmost importance that the opinion manifested by certain Powers, in regard to the cocupation of the Roman States, should pe reo »rd: ed in the protoccl. The first Plenipoten' of Sardiuia atates that the oceupation of the Roman Sates by tne Austrian troops assumes every day more of a permanent character; that it bas lastec seven years, and thet, ne- vertheless, no indicacion appears which would lead to the supposition that it will cease at a more or lese early period; that the ceuses which gave rise to it are still ia exisienoe; that the state of the country which they occupy is assuredly not improved; and that in order to be satisfied cf this, it is enough to remark that Austria hice mere ys Goi Apt aalag | in nee. ost revert stat siege at although it Calon fom Te occupation i‘self. He ovserves thet the pretence of the Au-trian troops in the Legations and in tre Duchy cf Parwa destroys the balance of power in [taly, and eonsiitutes a rea danger for Sardinia. The Pleripotentiaries of Sardinia, he says, deem it, therefore, aduty to point out to the attention of Europe a ‘of \hings so abnormal as that waich results from the irdefrite ccoupation of a t pert of Italy ny Austrian trbops. As regards the question of Nap cs, Count Cavour shares wes the opinions exprezsed oy Count Walewski and the Esrl of C:arendon. he con- ceives that tt is in the highest degree important to suz- gert modifications which, by appeasing pacsions, would render less difficult the reguiar progress of affairs in tie other States of the peninsula, Baron Husxee, on } is part, says ih:t the first Plenip»- tentiary of Sardinia has 1poken “nly of the Austrian cc- cupation, and kept silenos in regurd to that of France; that nevertheless the two coe meres tock place at the same time, and with the same objec:; that it was impos- nible to admit the argument drawn by Count Davou:, from the permaneney of the stave of at Bologns; ‘that if an ex: state of things is me ceseury in that city while it bas long since ceased at Rome and Ax- cons, this a] at the utwort to prove that the pix. positions of the people of Rome and of Avooua are more satiefactory than thove of the city of Rolognua. He re- marks that in Italy it is not only the Romau States which are cecupied by foreign troopr; that the communes of Menton and of Roquevrune, for micg part of the prinzi- pality of Monaeo, have been for the Jast eigh' yeare o:- cupied by Sardinia, and that the oniy difference which exists between the two oosupations is, toat she Austriaus andthe French were invited by the sovereign of th while the Serdinian troops entered the territory of Monaco cont to his wisnes, and maixtain themseives therein notwithstanding the re mcnstrances of the sovereign of ‘the country. In reply to Barcn Hubner, ¥ Count Cavour rays that he is destrous tha‘ the Frenci: occupation should cease as well as the Aus ‘rian but that he carnot help copridering the one as being far mai« Gar gercus than the other ‘or the independent States of itely. He adde, that « small corps d’armée, at a gree’ diz‘ance from France, is menacing for no one; whereas :t is very alarming to see Austria resting on Ferrara aud on Placentia, the fortifications of which she is enlargirg, contrary to the spirit if not to the Jet’er of the treaties of Vienna, and extending herself along the Adriatic as far asAnccra. As for Monacv, Count Cavour deciares tha: Sarcinia is reacy to withdraw tbe fifty men who oceuyy Manton, if the Prices is in & ecndition io return to tue country without exposing himself to the most ser'ous Gargers, Besides, he does not consicer that Sa-dinis can be sccured of havirg contributed to the overthrow o* the ancient geverpment, in order to ccsupy thoze Scates, rince the Prince bas not been able to maintain hisauth - rity in the single town of Moraco, which ocen- pied tn 1848 in virtue of the treaties. Baron Bruxow hicks {t his duty to point out » parit- cular circumstance, that the oscupation of Greece by the allied troops tock place durirg the war, ard that rela’ tions being happily re-estabiched between the three pro- tecting courte, the time is arrived for coming to aa vu- derstanding as to the meane of rever.ing 'o a situation in conformity with the common interest. He gives the as- Suranoe that the Plenipctentiaries of Russia have received with satisfaction, 4 will eagerly transmit to their go- ntions manifested in this respyn" by of thingr existing in Greece, readily join in every measure which my Spear calca- Iated ‘to effect the purpose contemplated in fovada- tion of the Hollenic Lear poe The Pienipotentlaries of Russia add, that they will take the orders of their court upon the proposal submitted to the Corgress relative to maritime law. Count WALEWSKI ocngra‘ulates himself on having ia- duced ibe Plenipotentiaries to im erchange their ideas oa the questions which Lave been disoussed. He had sup- posed that it might have been possible, perhaps with sd- vantage, to expiess thems: lves in a more compete man- ner ob rome of the subjects which have fixed the atten- tion of the Sones “Bat, such as it is,” he mays, “tus interchange of ideas which taken place is not wita- out advantege.” The firat Plenipotentiary of France states that the reeul: of it is, in effect:— 1, That no one has contested the nesessity of seriously deliberating a to ube means for improving the situation of Greece, and that the three protecting courts have re- cognized the importance of ¢:ming toan understanding amc ng themselves in this respect. 2. Theat the Plenipotentiaries of Austria have acceded to the wieh expressed by the Plenipotentiaries of France for the evacuation of the Pontifical States by the French and Austrian troops, as soon as it can be effected witno it prejudice fo the tranquility of the coun'ry, and to tae consolidation of t thority of Holy See. 2, That the greater pert of the Plenipoten faries have not questioned the gond effect which would resu't from mea- sures of clemency, opportune!y adopted by the govern ments of the Italian Peninsula, and especially by that of the Tro Sicilies. F3. That all the Plenipotentiaries, and even those who considered themselves bound to reserve the principle f he liberty of the prese, bave not hesitated loudly to cond-nn the excesres into which ihe Belgian newspapers indu'ge with impunity, by recognizing necessity of remedy- ing the real inconveniences which result from the nncon- trolled l'cense which is so greatly abured in Belgiuiu. That, finally, the reception given by all the Plen'noten- tiaries to the idea of closing their labors by a dec . ation of principles in the matter of maritime law, mu,. give reason to hope that at the next sitting they will Leve re- ceived from their rexpective governments autho ty to adhere to an act which, while completing the wor). of ihe Congress of Paris, wou'd effect an improvement worthy ef our epoch. Letter from the Emperor Alexander to Count Orloff. The Emperor of Russia has jaunt addressed to Count Or- loff, first Russian Plenipotentiary at the Congress at Pa- ris, the following letter: — Count ALExIs FEpoROwrrci—The exchange of the ratifi- cations of the treaty which you signed on the 18h (30th) of March, and which have been sent to you to-day, has just put the seal to the work of pacification «stro. 2d to your care.

The at- titude, full of lcysity and uprightness, which you aswumed from the very commencement of the negotiation, did not fais .o open & path towards ® solution of the difficulties besevting you, and towards @ reunion with the Powers that were at wer with us. The Lope gh of thts great and laborious mission has fully satisfied my expectation, and the fresh deserts you have acquired while abate, on it give you an addi- onal claim upon my heartrelt gratitude. der the auspices of this peace now re-established, my first care will’be devoted to developing and securing toe Fhe! rc of the empire which God confided to my woltcltude. I am firmly convinced tl I shall always find in you &® zealour co operator and « wise coundillor mid the toils of power that await me while striving to im thin sacred object.

A Russian staff officer wao spok+ Foglish, berides five other lar guages, having amouget other tutors bad an English one, Mr. Percy Beresford, toid me that the “fficers suffered ‘terribly at the siege, far more in ion than the men or our sfficers at Ama; and certsinly the best roof of the truth cf his staterent was the scarcity of the regi- wental cfficers at this review of the 11'h Division and what there were being very young. As the battery of artillery which beionged the 11th Brigade of the 4th Artillery Division went past, one could not help thinking how it is that we ean never bring into the ield more than 6 and 9 pounders,” and at Ama and Eu- patoria the Russians not only had $2.poucders, bus they succeeded in taking them away in their retreat—for, be it remembered, at the former action we only captured two guns, and we never made use of any artillery but 6 pounders. At this moment out of the wnole of our 86 guns in the Crimca there are only eig:t that come un- cer the head of field artillery, viz., four 18 pounders and four 82 pounder howiizers. ‘On this occasion the guns were drawn by four horses, and the two wneel ammuni- tien carts by three ponies abreast. the artillery came the nine red Corsacks, 26 gendarmes, douole rank, 20 Cossacks of the Don, and four troops, each thicty strong, ot Corsacks from the Oural. gp concern | are only armed with asword, but all the acs have spears. One peculiarity jo the review covvecied with 1¢ Officers was that none saluted except the mouated commanding officers of battalions, and that all the seaior company officers marched in the centre instead of on the right. as with us.

Guatemals, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Sal- vador and Honduras. On this point Mr. Clay‘on’s own words are perfectly satisfactory.
