Dasher 4. Captain Lefliibe. — The embarkation of the 
French troops on board English line-of-battlc ships has been 
so successfully carried out by Captain Lcfcbre, in the em- 
ployment of the Admiralty, that he bos received a letter 
from the French Admiral Lcpicrre, with whom Captain Lc- 
febre was in constant communication, thanking him in the 
roost cordial and friendly manner for the energetic manner 
nnd untiring co-operation to cany into effect the wishes of 
both nations. Such a testimonial of the recognition of his 
services must he highly gratifying not only to Captain Le- 
febre, but to all who desire the closest alliance between the 
two nations. The Dasher has coaled, and is ready for any 
service at an hour’s notice.

SAILING OF TROOPS. 
At six o’clock on Friday morning the 21st, two detach- 
ments of the 63rd Regiment, consisting of 1,000 men, under 
the command of Lieut. -Colonel Swyny, marched from the 
military barracks to Mcrchant’s-quay, Cork, accompanied by 
the band of the 91st Regiment, and a large number of sol- 
diers from other corps. Three of the river steamers, the 
Prince Arthur, the Prince, and Royal Alice, wore then 
moored to the quay, nnd in a short period the whole of the 
men were placed on board. Both bands then struck up 
“Auld Lang Syne,” and the boats moved from the quay 
amid the hearty cheering of the assembled multitude. On 
their arrival at Queenstown the troops embarked on hoard 
the Avon transport. There are 9. r >0 men of the 63rd Regi- 
ment from Cork, nnd 222 men of tho 46th Regiment from 
Southampton, exclusive of officers, on board the Avon, which 
is now on the way to Varna, 
A draft, consisting of three officers and 103 men, of the 
Mth Regiment, has arrived in Cork, to await the arrival of 
another transport to take them to the seat of war, to join 
the service companies. 
The Himalaya at Liverpool.— Liverpool, July 22.— 
The Himalaya arrived in the Mersey yesterday cveningfrom 
Kingstown, having on board two detachments of Scots Greys, 
with 1&8 horses, 64 of which were remounts for cavalry in 
Turkey, and the following officers : — Major Sullivan, Cap- 
tains Williams nnd Freeman, Lieutenant Buchanan, Cornet 
Prondergnst. and 70 non-commissioned officers. Tho Him- 
alaya left Kingstown nt 5 a.m. yesterday, and steamed to 
the Bell-Buoy in nine hours, making on t tie average, by fair 
steaming, 13.j knots, or 15 statute miles, per hour. She was 
obliged to remain outside for water, which prevented her 
from making her appearance in the river till About 7.30 p in 
yesterday. It was intended to take her into the Wellington 
Dock bnsin to-morrow— an arrangement, however, which 
the low state of the tides will preclude. She will therefore 
remain in the river until an early hour on Tuesday morning, 
when she will he laid alongside’ the floating landing stage, 
at George’s pier, where the main body of the Scots Greys 
will embark. After embarking the whole of the troops and 
horses the Himalaya will immediately take her departure 
for Varna, which she is expected to reach iu about 12 days.

The Scots Grojs left Manchester on Monday morning, at 
eight o’clock, on their way. to Liverpool, to embark lor the 
East. A large concourse of people had assembled to bid them 
“God speed,” nnd in addition to their own trumpeter the

They were loudly cheered by the people, and oil the men 
appeared to bo in good spirits, and returned the greetings bo

in rank in the barrack square at Windsor, prior to marching 
out for conveyance to Southampton en route to Constantinople, 
u motherless child, six years old, clung to its futber’s hg*. 
Ho wus peremptorily ordered to send it away, but resolutely 
answered, “ I will not.” Lieutenant Ilutton, touched with 
the scene, took the child and placed two ten pound notes in 
its hand, with the hope thut some one would befriend it. This, 
however, proved unnecessary, for having afterwards made his

Wc have got, says a correspondent, a lady-camp at Therapia,

d’Allonville, Dundas, Chabannes, and several others reside 
in the village, as also Madame de St. Arnaud, who, by the 
way, shines above the rest, as an old soldier and able tactician, 
and more especially as regards 6iege operations, having 
ensconced herself und suite in the Imperial Kiosk, and carried 
a position, as far as I urn award, hitherto impregnable to 
friend or foe. It is reported, on what foundation I know not, 
that Marshal Si. Arnaud will take tho command not only of 
ihoallied armies, but also of the Turkish forces on the Danube ; 
ami thut Omar Pasha will bo named generalissimo of both the 
armies of Asia— of that of Kars and of Batoum. Should this 
really be true, then prospects will brighten, and an energetic 
movement will, if skilfully directed, drive the enemy into the 
Caspian. • 
Omar Pasha has proposed thut n French and an English 
officer shall bo attached to each Tin Irish brigade, to assist in 
strategic operation*. A corps of interpreters is to be formed, 
and placed at the disposal of the three commanders. 
Tho following intelligence has been received from Ilcrman- 
stadt. dated the 22nd inst. : — 
“ Prince QortBchakoff has announced his intention of defend- 
ing Moldavia and Walluchift with 200,000 men. H is head- 
quarters urn at Slobodzie. Russian reinforcements are mov- 
ing from Moldavia and the Jalomnitza. The right wing of 
tho Russiuns has advanced to Slobodzie. General Luders has 
concentrated his forces at Kalarusch. Prince Gortschakoff 
opposes already 110,000 men and 20 batteries to the Otto- 
mans. The Turks continue to cross tho Danube at Giurgevo. 
Reconnoitring skirmishes have taken place. On the 16th 
Generals Ivattonin and Orloff were wounded.” 
Advices from Jassy, of the 12th July, state that the mili- 
tary hospitals in Moldavia are so crowded that the wounded 
are obliged to bo scut back to Bessarabia. It is calculated 
that in Moldavia there are 8,000 wounded and sick ; in 
Wallachia about 12,000. The scurvy is prevalent in most of 
the hospitals; also divers fevers, though not of a dangerous 
character. Tho cholera prevails in Bessarabia.

ment that ho would personally lead on his brave soldiers to

“ CAMP, DEVNA, July 7. 
“This is, I think, the most glorious country in the crea- 
tion, and I only wish it was in the hands of our people ; they 
would know how to make the most of it. But these miserable 
a pathetics don’t know how to appreciate the blessings the 
Almighty bus heaped upon them. You know that Ireland i$ 
a most fertile country ; but, in my opinion, this far surpasses 
it. We aro situate in a largo vale, and tho hills around us 
are grand, nnd covered to the summit with luxurious foliago, 
though of stunted growth; yet there is very little food for the 
gun beyond lots of doves, which one likes less to eat than to 
shoot. Wild cats, snakes, &c., abound, but, as they are not 
eatable, and powder and shot is scarce in consequence of the 
limit to our luggage, wo do not shoot them. \\ e have been 
here about three weeks in advance of the British army altogether, 
and daily expecting something to do for our country, but have 
been idle. A week since Sir G. Brown’s division joined us, 
and wo thought we should surely go onto Silistria; but no. 
The (lay before yesterday Omar Pasha came down from 
Schumla, and we were turned out for his inspection. We 
mustered four regiments of cavalry, nnd one troop of Ilorso 
Artillery. We gave him one charge, and it was a charge. 
Ho clapped his hands and cried ‘ bono, bono ’ (good, good), 
and afterwards said that lie believed nothing could stand 
against such cavalry. I don't wonder ho should think 6o, 
for if the Turks could hold their enemy in such good check 
with their very irregular soldiers and little cats of horses, wo 
should make strange havoc among them. Yesterday 6,000 
Baahi-Bxzouks encamped near our lines, and such rum-look- 
ing devils «>f soldiers I never saw; I would be bound to 
ride slick through them six deep. And then their weapons 
are of all sorts — from a lance, 14 feet long, down to a 
hammer, tied on a stick, very like those nsed by an English 
saddler; they were on their way to be trained under 
French officers at Varna. Omar Puslia said the Russians 
hxd retired from Silistria, nnd wanted an armistice of 61 
days — what for he cunnot make out, unless it is to come on 
with fresh troops Against us. Never mind ; let them como 
as fust us they like, we will render a good account of them, 
or I very much mistake. Within this half-hour a report 
has reached us that we ore to move on. It is impossible to 
say what is to happen. Omar Paslm is to be here again to- 
morrow, to see all the cavalry and infantry again. I wish 
to goodness they would push on, and let us get to work, for 
this idle, useless life is getting perfectly monotonous; 
besides this, we are nearly starved to death, having nothing 
but our rations to live upon, precisely the same as tho men. 
You good people read in the papers that we aro well pro- 
vided for, and that beer, porter, tea, coffee, &c., are all pro- 
vided for us; but that is all humbug, for we have not seen 
or smelt a drop of beer since the 4th of June, when we were 
at Vurna, and then we were able only to procure two barrels 
of porter for the whole regiment. Tea there was, but now 
that is out, and now we get coffee in the berry, and have to 
roast it, and also pound it ourselves. We find this very different 
from Chobham, I can assure you, for if a fellow does by any 
odd chance get anything good, he is us selfLh over it a9 a 
great sulky boy. I wish some of you good people would give 
the papers a hint that the country ought to treat us better than 
tliey do, especially in the postage arrangements ; lor, although 
I know there are numerous papers and letters on the road for 
me, four letters and three papers are all I have received since 
1 left dear old England. I hope you will write and tell me all 
the nows you have, for a letter from Englund is u great God- 
send. The weather is intensely hot, and wc are all as black 
as niggers. We uro close to a beautiful river, which I think 
adds to the health of the men. The horses, poor brutes, suffer 
most . we have lost 30, and expect to lose more ; they aro 
all picketed in the open air without the least covering, and 
sometimes it rains in torrents, such drops as I never saw 
before, for days together, but in a few hours the sun comes 
the approaching contest. out and all is dried up, and nature is all smiles again. Our

General Buturlin and tho Ilotmau of the Cossacks were 
wounded. 
Lieutenant Burke, R.E., Captain Meynell, nnd another 
English gentleman whose name is not ascertained, have been 
killed in action near Rutschuk. 
It will bo remembered that some weeks since the disap- 
pearance of an English soldier at Scutari created a great 
sensation. Two Montenegrins have been arrested at Unltiar- 
Skolessi by tho Turkish police. In the house in which they 
wore concealed the complete uniform of a British soldier was 
found, mid there seems to bo no doubt thut the unfortunate 
man was murdered by them. These men are in prison, but 
have us yet obstinately denied the charge. The matter has 
been referred to Lord Raglan.

The Moniteurde V Annie publishes accounts from Varna of 
the 9th instant The allied armies,” it says, “were still 
encamped in the neighbourhood. Their sanitary condition 
was excellent. The troops occupied a high tableland a league 
and a half distant from the town, and in nowiso suffered from 
tho intense heat that prevailed. The only fact to he noticed 
und in a political point of view most important— was the 
arrival at Sliumla, nt the head-quarters of the Generalissimo, 
Omar Paslm, of Lieutenant-Colonel Kallsch nnd two other 
Austrian officers. On the 10th they were expected at Varna, 
where they were going to concert measures with the Generals- 
in-Chief of the allied armies. Oar letters confirm the doubts 
we have already expressed relative to the participation of any 
portion of the allied troops in the engagements fought between 
the Ottoman and Russian army since tlio siege of Silistria. 
They positively state that down to tho lOihnotu single French 
regiment had left the camp at Varna. This delay, however, 
has been turned to account. The array is now well organised. 
The second division had arrived by land. During its long 
march from Boulair to Varna our soldiers admirably bore the 
futiguo of the road, which was rendered still more difficult by 
the heat and want of water. Military discipline wus strictly 
observed, private property was respected, und wherever they 
encamped they avoided injuring the crops in the ground- 
The Generals-in-Chief had completed their preparations and 
sent several officers to the Danube to reconnoitre the country 
between Rustchuk and Silistria. A sub-intendant, accom- 
panied by a chief physician and a number of officers of the ad- 
ministration, left Varna on the 0th to explore the resources oi 
the Upper Danube as fur as Belgrade. Two other officers had 
gone on board tho Vauban to execute a similar reconnoissanrr 
in tho direction of Batoum and along the coast of Circassia,
