TROOPS ON THE MARCH, OR UNDER 
ORDERS FOR FOREIGN SERVICE. 
Departure of xru Scots Greys for the Bast. — 
On Sunday the flnutfuwer for the departure of this fine regi- 
ment to the scut of war arrived at the head quarters at Notting- 
ham, and that portion of the troop stationed here rnnrched out 
of the town next day. The corporation, ns soon as they were 
aw u re of the circumstance, determined to bid tho troop u 
public farewell, and tho news having spread rapidly over tho 
town ami neighbourhood, a crowd assembled in tho market- 
place to witness tho ceremony. Tho markot-placo, which is 
tin urea of between five or six acres in extent, was, with the 
exception of the small spuco enclosed by the troop, crammed ; 
und the windows and roofs of tho Exchange and every house 
in nr were filled with well-dressed men ami women. The sight 
w us one of tl.o most muguifleeiit that could bo conceived. 
The Mayor (J. Reckless, B<q.), who, with tlio officers of the 
corporation, were dressed in their municipal robes, advanced 
to the centre of the square formed by tho troops and said — 
“ Colonel Griffiths : It is always u pleasure as well as a duty 
to drink tho Queen’s health, and iu so doing to-duy 1 may 
express a hope tliut her Majesty’s ministers will be firm in 
their decision, and that tho war may soon come to a happy 
and honourable conclusion.” 
Tho toust was drunk with three times three, the band 
striking up “ God save the Queen;” while tho cups wero going 
round the laud played “ Tho girl I left behind me,” “ Scots 
whu hue,” 5cc. 
Tlio Mayor then spoke to tho following effect Colonel 
Giiffiths, officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the 
Royal Scots Greys. As the municipal body of Nottingham, 
and I may say us tho whole town, wo have met with mingled 
feelings of regret and pleasure — regret, that we are ubout to 
lute so fine, so well conducted, and so exemplary a regiment ; 
hut we feel pleasure that so fine a specimen of our cavulry and 
our troops is going to the East. (Hoar, htnr.) Allow me to 
sij^ that when 1 was a little boy, thirteen or fourteen years 
oTago, 1 saw this tome regiment march out of Nottingham to 
go to Waterloo. It was to me the grandest sight lever suvv. 
1 have witness, d many exciting spectacles in my time, but 
never one which made so deep an impression on my mind as 
that. (Hear.) You marched to Waterloo and you obtained 
glory ; I trust like glory awuits you in the Bust. (Applause.) 
May you in your voy age across the ocean meet wiliigood luck, 
and 1 trust when you rcuch your destination you will be 
blissed with the protection of the Almighty — (hear, hear) — 
uud that though you will be pluced in the midst of dangers 
and difficulties, you will bo preserved, and that very few of 
your men will be lost. (Cheers.) You have with you tho 
good wishes of tho town of Nottingham, and every ono will 
watcli your proceedings witii the greatest interest. I cannot 
say more. Good luck to you, and God bless you, and all your 
exertions in the cause of your country. I wish you good 
health Colonel, and God bless you. (Tremendous cheering.) 
Tho’tonst was drunk in the same manner as the proceeding. 
Colonel Griffiths, after the usual command for attention, 
spoke os follows Soldiers, you have all had your beer, and 
I om now going to drink to the mayor s Health and that of 
the corporation, and the gentlemen who have done us all 
honour. I am sure I am epenking but the feeling of every 
officer, non-commissioned officer, and soldier of the Greys, 
when I say that our sojourn in Nottingham boa been one of 
happiness, hospitality, and attention from every one. 
f Cheers i We have all met with our various friends, and 
many of us have to regret the parting with our friends; but 
though wc have to regret these partings, our duty has called us, 
and that duty, according to our standard there, is mstanter. 
-(Great cheering.) There is the cngle which the wor d said 
w0 could not take abroad. We take our eagle abroad though, 
with our allies, ami I hope wc may bring many Russian eagles 
hack (cries of “ Bravo.”) There Is no doubt of this, that if 
there Is pluck in the world in a man, it is in a Grey. (Ap- 
plause ) Directly wo received the order yesterday, did not 
wo all delight in it? (Hear.) Now, gentlemen, as time is 
precious I will only take the loving cup and drink to your 
good health. Long may you live, and may we all return to 
he quartered In Nottingham. (Great cheering.) And if there 
should, unfortunately, he any of our women left behind in dis- 
tress, I leave them to your generous protection. (Cheers.) 
And I have no doubt from tho kind way in which you have 
met us, and the compliment you have paid us all to-day you 
will look after them in our absenco. God bless you all, and 
here’s your good health, with three times three. (Applause.) 
The regiment then hared their heads in obedience to their 
colonel’s example, and gave three hearty cheers for the mayor, 
three for the corporation, and three for tho town of Notting- 
ham. Threo cheers were then given for tho “ loves left be- 
hind,” and tho standard bearer waved tho standard before the 
multitude nmidst the most deafening cheers, the band imme- 
diately striking up “ God save the Queen.” 
A regular crush hero ensued In the endeavour to shake 
hands with the colonel, in tlio midst of which threo cheers 
were given for tho Scots Greys. Three cheers were then given 
for the colonel’s lady, and three more for the commerce of 
Nottingham. The regiment then formed in line and marched 
out of the town, followed to a great distance by a large 
crowd. 
Tub following regiments have been ordered to hold them- 
selves in reudines-s to embark immediately, to reinforeo the 
British army in Turkey :— The 2nd Dragoons (Scots Greys), 
4th Light Dragoons, tho 20th, 21st, 34th, 46th, and 63rd 
Regiments of Foot ; nnd the first battalion of the Rifle Bri- 
gade. Each regiment of infantry will embark 1,000 rank 
nnd file, besides officers, non-commissioned officers, drum- 
mers, hand, &c. Tho Rifle Battalion will bo 1,200 rank and 
file. Tho infantry will form a fourth division, with a general 
nnd two brigadiers, tlio latter to bo selected from the senior 
colonels of the regiments. No general of division is yet ap- 
pointed. The whole of these troops will go out in steamers, 
nnd will proceed direct to the Black Sea, without making any 
stoppage by tl.o way. The 2nd and 4th Dragoons will not be 
formed into a separate cavalry brigade, but will be added one 
to ouch of the cavalry brigades nlrcody with tho army, which 
will tlmn consist of five regiments, instead of four regiments 
each. 
TriE Himalaya, Simla, and Orinoco steamers, now in 
Southampton Docks, have been chartered to convey troops. 
It is believed that tho Himalaya will take out the Scots Greys. 
It was announced on Tuesday afternoon that the Govern- 
ment have chartered the General Screw Company’s new 
steamship Prince, of 2,700 tons, and 350-horse power, for 
three months. This vessel is the largest of the company’s 
fleet, having beon constructed by Messrs. More and Co., and 
thfMmgii.es by Maudslay, Sons, and Field. She is now being 
f out with the utmost despatch, and will be ready for 
scrvico in about 10 days. 
Tehm ag ant, 24, screw, Portsmouth, Captain the Hon. Keith 
Stewart, lias as many hands as con possibly work together to 
complete her for troop service by Saturday next. She will 
have accommodation for 500 French soldiers, who will have 
tho whole of the main deck to themselves. Upwards of twenty 
now ventilators have been put in the ship’s side, and their 
comforts well studied. The Termagant will only carry four 
32-poundcrs nnd ono 68 pivot-gun on the upper deck, 
which Is flush. Tho raking-wny of half her original ma- 
chinery has made hern comfortable ship, and it is expected she 
will go equally fast, although reduced from 620 to 400 horse- 
power. The engino weight before was more than the ship 
was calculated to hear. Sho is taking in provisions from the 
factory wharf, which is being shipped by the convicts from the 
Royal Clarence Yard.

SOLDIERS’ WIVES AND FAMILIES. 
On Tuesday his Royal Highness Prince Albert rode on

Victoria Lodging-houses of the married soldiers of the Guards. 
THE TURKS AND RUSSIANS. 
[Continued from p0£0 G1S.J 
Nicholas has not been long at a loss ora lie with which to 
cover ids retreat from Walluchia. llis army is flying from 
tho plague ! Tho excuse is good, innsinm li as it affords valu- 
able information to his foes us well as followers, for it implies 
anabsoluto renunciation of intention to return. If the Czar 
meat to re-enter Walluchia, lie would not stiike panic into 
the hearts of his soldiers by such an announcement. The 
evacuation may then, he regarded ns complete. M liether 
tho Austrians will he frightened is another question ; and in- 
deed no harm would ho done by their being deterred from an 
occupation, which is only a lesser evil than that from which 
the unhappy Wallachians are now relieved, although tho real 
plague is tho sword of Omar Poslm. 
We have received intelligence from Constantinople to the 
26th ult. It appears that Prince Napoleon and Marshal St. 
Arnaud had gone to Varna ; that a division of the Russian 
squadron had sailed from SebaRtopol, and, after having fired 
upon the cruisers of tho allied fleets, retired to the harbour. 
The Furious, it was said, had incurred some damage. General 
Bosquet had left Adrianople for Shumla, where a violent can- 
nonade was heard on the 22nd. The fleets were going t 0 
attack Anapa. The English have taken soundings at the 
mouth of the Dniester, not far from Odessa, and have had 
some trifling skirmishes with the Cossacks. 
Bucharest, July 1. — Three Russian transports, laden 
with ammunition, were lost while going down the river 
towards Galatz. The crews were saved. 
THE WAR IN EUROPE. 
IMPORTANT DESPATCHES. 
Advices from Varna, of tho 23rd June, state that on the 
2l6tand 22nd a cannonade was heard in the direction of 
Shumla. 
General Canrobcrt sont a squadron of Dragoons to recon- 
noitre. 
The allied troops were preparing to advance. 
The allied forces at Varna are 50,000 strong. 
Belgrade, June 29. — “The movement in retreat of the 
Russian army continues in Wallacliia, and the right bank of 
the Danube must be now entirely evacuated, excepting the 
fortified positions of Matehln, Isaktsha, and Tulclia. The 
concentration is being effected in Moldavia and Northern 
Wallacliia upon the Transylvanian frontier. It is a complete 
change of front, with 80 leagues of ground lost, 60,000 men 
hors de combat left on the field of battle or destroyed by 
disease, and a deep stain upon the honour of tho Russiun 
flag.” 
Silistria, June 2. — At 1 o’clock this day Mussa Pasha, 
the commander of the fortress, was mortally wounded in the 
left side by a piece of a shell, which burst near him while sit- 
ting outside liis quarters at t lie Stamboul-gato. He lived 
about 12 minutes after receiving the wound. He had just 
received intelligence that a messenger was at hand, bearing 
the Sultan’s order of Medjidid of the second class, which had 
been sent to him, and was waiting for instructions as to 
whether it was his Excellency’s wish to receive the decoration 
publicly, nnd with the usual ceremony or otherwise. Mussa 
Pasha replied that it would be better to bring it in quietly, 
remarking at the same time that this was no season for pomp 
and display. A couple of hours after this his remains were 
interred. He had considerable natural quickness of appre- 
hension, intelligence, and activity, and was zealous, and 
anxious to discharge his duties faithfully, added to which he 
was a kind, good-hearted man, beloved by his dependent*. 
His death is a great loss. Hussein Pasha who had been in 
charge of the force at Arab Tabia, now assumed the com- 
mand of the fortress, and was succeeded by Colonel Latif Bey.

DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS— 2,600 SLAIN. 
Silistria. — Sami Pasha, the governor of Lesser Wallachia, 
has stated officially that, according to a despatch from Omar 
Pasha, doted June tho 24th, the Russian rear-guard of 25,001) 
men and 24 pieces of cannon was attacked on the 22nd, near 
Silistria, by Giritli Mehemet Pasha, the new governor of that 
fortress. The battle, which lasted two days, ended in the de- 
feat of the Russians, who are said to have had 2,500 killed. 
All the Russian troops are stated, on hearing that tho army of 
Schumla was about to march to attack them, to have aban- 
doned not only the environs of Silistria, but also the 
Dobrudscha. 
Orsova, Juue 29. — An artillery officer, arrived on the 
28th, lias brought news from Schumla of the 24th, and from 
Silistria of the 23rd. The Russian rear-guard and the 
Turkish corps (Fannie , of 25,000 men and 24 cannon, 
which guarded the first heights of the Balkan, under the 
orders of Mehemet-Pasha, have joined battle. The 
Russians were attacked on the 22nd and 23rd, and driven 
back behind Trajan’s Wall. Another division of 12,000 
men was marched for Schumla towards Bnzardscliik. The 
Turks are going to occupy the Dobrudscha. 
THE WAR IN ASIA. 
Tredizonde, June 12. — Tho Turkish steamer Theiki 
Chnidi, entered our roads this morning. To-morrow she will 
leave for Souchum Kuleh, where she is to laud a great quantity 
of munitions of war. A letter, addressed to the English Vice- 
Consul by tho Commander of the Sampson, announces that 
the place is abundantly supplied with provisions, and de- 
fended by 31 guns. The Russians who showed themselves in 
the neighbourhood of Redout Kalch on tho 2nd, disappeared 
on the arrival of a British ship of war, and marched toward* 
Koutais. 
Another letter from Trebizonde, of the 13th of June, gives 
the details of a severe action fought between tho Turks and 
Russians, near Usurguet, in Asia. It appears that on the Oil* 
of June a Turkish division, composed of 3,000 Bu6hi-Bazouks 
and half a battalion of regular troops, received orders from 
Ramis P&9ha to attack two redoubts raised by the Russian* 
six leagues from Usurguet. The force was formed in three 
columns, and the first redoubt was attacked oud carried by 
Hassan Bey of Chourouk-su, the same who captured the Rus- 
sian fort of St. Nicholas on the 28th of October last. The three 
columns then advanced against the second redoubt. The attack 
was led by Hassan Bey, his brother Ali Bey, and Hamid Bey, 
of Batoum. The Turks had reached the walls when the Rus- 
sians received a reinforcement of several battalions. Tim 
Turks were attacked on the flanks, and a desperate combat, 
hand to hand, ensued. The Bashi-Bazouks were compelled 
to full back on the first redoubt, which they endeavoured 
defend. They were, however, outnumbered by tho Russians, 
und forced to abandon the redoubt with the loss of their gallant 
chief Hassan Bey, whose body they carried off. The loss ol 
tho Turks in this sanguinary affair amounts to 800 Busk'' 
B&zouks killed and 600 wounded ; 49 regulars killed and Co 
wounded. The Russians lost 900 killed and 700 wounded.
