Under such encou- • v .rcumstances the Company have arranged to corn ,* J operations at once by a line of Screw Clippers, of gut 2,400 tons , average register tonnage, to sail regu ,arly from Havro to Calcutta, touching at the Ile de la bunion (Bourbon), and such other intermediate Indian ports as may be selected. It is also proposed to open a c ommunication, upon au early day with the Brazils, and via the Brazils, with the Cape of Good Hope.. The ships will call at•the port of Southampton, outward and homeward, to re solve or laud goods, specie, and passengers. To open these lines without delay, a fine fleet of clipper screw steamers, of established reput a ti on , h as b een purchased from the General Screw Steam-Shipping Company, viz.:— Jason. Argo. . .

By this impartant purchase the Company will be protected from the loss which would necessarily follow from their capi tal. lying unproductive while a new fleet was being built and eqvipped, and be at once prepared to open their trades with the most faithfully-constructed steam clippers in existence poisessing the prestige of their previous employment, and the very high character they have since sustained in the tran sport of the British and French Governments. A. portion of the capital will be open for subscription in -Englandand the Colonies. Each application for shares must be made in the appended form, accompanied by a payment of 25f. or 11. per share on the number required, for which a voucher will be given. In the event of leas than the whole number of shares apylied for being allotted, the number paid in excess will be applied to- Wards the balance of 75f. or 31. per shire, then payable. should no allotment be made to the applicant,. the money thus lodged will be returned, free of charge, within a week rem the clay of general allotment. Calculations carefully, made by those most experienced in the traffic of France, and the exports from Belgium, Switzer land. and Germany, via Havre, with the ascertained want of steam communication between the ports selected by this Coro- Palri, warrant the Directors in stating their conviction that no InS4itime enterprise ever commenced ender more favourable auspice's, or with fairer prospiets of yielding large returns to the proprietary.

STAMPED 5D- tonnage from 1,297,124 tons in the former year, to 1,9713,405 tons in the latter year, the increase being up wards of 52 per cent. during Lord Dalhonsie's administra tion. As for the pressure of taxation, the whole taxation' of India, regarded as a capitation tax, was 4s. 7d. per head per annum, including the opium revenue, which was :not prOperly a tax upon India, but was paid by foreigners. The taxation varied very little 'under the different govern ments, except in Bombay, where it was Bs. 7d. per head, including all the taxes ; but the average land tax was only 2s. sid. per head annually, and it was almost identi cal la the north-west provinces, the most flourishing go vern tirent of India, and in the Madras presidency. This, considering the extreme cheapness of the means of sub sistence amongst the people of India, was not a pressure of taxation by **eh they could be pauperised, as had been asserted. Such /0 been the labours of Lord Dalhousie, through a period . unusually protracted, at the request of the home authorities, and they were enough to entitle him to the gratitude and admiration of the public and of the Last India, Company. Broken down in health, he had takema touching farewell of the inhabitants of Calcutta, and returned to this country. In his tempos ary repose, let him have the solace of an unreserved approval of his conduct, on :AM part of the company, as expressed in the resolution submittel to the meeting. The 0/aim - an, in concluik moved the approval and confir mation of his grant of the p.nsion of 5,000/, a-year to Lord Dalhoneie. Mr. Ross D._ MANGLES seconded the resolution. Mr. ti initspelie`at some length against the *posed grant, saying-J..4i: he considered the salary which Lord Dalhouse had reoW. for eight years 25,0001. a-year, toge• Cher with a palace to reside in, allowance for household ex- Peistes;and other 110140811 of emolument, were ample rerun ubrieLion; Jhoneagethel tliat Lord' Palhousie'e civil services had deaereudthetommendation of the whole world. He'kneW it iras l gnito in accordance with Oriental ens. Mitts and with" the habits of that court to worship the rising Sun, and at Present. Lord Dalbonsie's name was a tower of strength.. He will; looked to as a future Prime Minister ; and it might be thought that, if he obtained this pension, the comPitly'would haiC a certain lien upon him. 'lle,(Mr.lewin) entirely disapproved of the annexa tion policy which Lord Dalhousie had adopted, and which, he believed, had excited inch a feeling against us, that it would altithateli cause a great risk of the loss of our In dian Empire. IlVeaforced this view by several instances, and_ criticised the viaduct of the Indian Qovtrnment in re gard to the native psinces,enkaristocracy of the country. Mr. S$ Tort KARR replied, in justification' Of the policy which had been pursued by the late Governor-General, and in praise of the great improvementa effected during his ad ministration.. Mr. JosrEs then addressed the cbnrt at some length in opposition to the motion. 'He censured the Indian Go vernment ia many particulars, and, contended that great injustice had been done in the case of Nagpore, and in other oases of annexation, to the rights 'of the native fami lies concerned: Re moved as an amendment, "That this court would not be justified in awarding the mousy Which belongs to the people of India for a pension such as is now proposed:" - Mr. S _rgeant GASIELRIE seconded the amendment. Dr. BEATTII spoke in support of the recommendation of ;he Court of Directors. Major RATIIBONE opposed the pension, going into de• tails as to the measures of Lord Dalitousie's adtninistra. Sir .T. W. HOGG then replied on behalf of the directors and cf Lord Dalhousie. He strongly repudiated the sug gestion of Mr. Lewin, that any sordid expectation of future advantage had induced them to grant this pension, or that Lord Dalhousie could be supposed capable of ever being influenced by such a consideration. He justified the policy of the Indian Government in the eaveral instances of an nexation, and urged that the high claims of the late illus trious Governor-Gbneral demanded: the grateful recogni tion of his countrymen. Mr. Serjeant GABEL= briefly spoke against the grant, observing that he had nothing to say against Lord Di house, but that thef dame and exaggerated praise baste wed on the noble lord was very injudicious on the part of his friends. He only protested, as a trustee for the people of India, against the exorbitant salaies and pensiots which were paid out of their hard earnings. The original resolution and the amendment were then put to the vote, when the former was carried with only eight dissentients, and the court then adjotuned. The resolution must be submitted to the approval of a second general meeting of proprietors, whichis to be held next Wednesday, BAIL INTELLIGENCE. METROPOLITAN. The a , ljeurned half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Great George-street, West minister ; \lr. A. S. Ayrton in the chair. The Cualeussr said they had met to consider the pro ork.ty of adopting the report submitted at the meeting in Feb. last. Tne directors were not prepared with any new report, and therefore would ask them to acquiesce in that already presented. He then adverted to the past history of the company, and its connection with Mr. Pearson's project fcr a city terminus, which was amalgamated with that of the Metropolitan Compauy.They had obtained pe cuniary assistance from members of the corporation, and also from the Great Western Company. The war came, and absorbed all the surplus cash in the coun try ; the consequence was the capitalists on whom they relied for support to carry out the undertaking were not prepared to supply the funds for the purpose. The directors had given a pledge that they would not make a call or proceed with the works until they had the assent of the shareholders Their undertaking dif fered in some respects from that of other railway com panies, inasmuch as when the works were commenced it would be necessary to carry them on as rapidly as possi ble with a view to complete tbem as soon as they could, otherwise delay with the works would involve enormous expense on the company, which it was desirable to avoid. They were at present proceeding with negotia tions which they hoped wend lead to a favourable ter. mination in carrying out the project. They bad lately been in negotiation with the Great Northern Company on the subject of forming a junction with that com pany's railway, and it was believed the directors of that company would recommend their shareholders to sub scribe 175,000/. towards the undertaking. The proprie tors would see they were not at. present in a condition to commence the works, particularly as it was necessary they should first come to an understanding with the authorities of the city of London in respect to certain property through which the line was intended to pass. It was necessary that they should have power to take land on each side of the railway, and to snake arrange ments with the city of London for that purpose. Until those points were settled it would not be desirable to commence the works. The shareholders would soon be called together again to consider the bill now before Parliament, in compliance with the Wharncliffe stand ing order. Considering the public events that had taken place since they applied for power to construct the rail way, the course adopted by the directors could not be deemed unsatisfactory to the shareholders. He would be glad to see the works commenced, but he was not alarmed at tho delay, for he thoug'it much good would result from it ; and, if the undertaking be really sound, the delay of five or six months would be of no conse quence. It would not do to commence the works pre cipitately and then find themselves in difficulty ; the directors were desirous of making all the necessary ar rangements before they commenced operations. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. JONES complained of the obscurity in which their affairs appeared to be placed. He was not aware before that they were indebted to the Great Western for a loan ; he considered they were shareholders to the'ex tent of their subscription. He considered that the corn pany had been spending from 3,000/. to 4,0001. a.year since they had obtained their bill, which was too much to take out of the small sum they had in band. He thought the best d do would be to wind up the affairs of He had no confidence in the statement of particularly objected to . _ _ the suspense am, and he had some. Mr. WATTS was h3l not the mop , He wished to kni Id the loan of - 16 0001., balance of 14,0001. ,ear that the c ompney lha , e 14nd in the city. lat their chairman wag about to leave t Mr. MALINS c to resic , ning the chair, he had intimated , ea tiog in consequence of his connection with the Railway Reform Association, and would now also resign his seat at the board. The CHAIRMAN replied to the observations of Mr. Jones, which, he said, were totally unfounded, and in doing so said the past proceedings of the company would bear the fullest inquiry. It was well known that the Great Western bai subscribed for 175,0001. of the capi tal, and paid their dep osit of 17,5001 ., but in order to complete the deposit" in Parliament they had advanced them a further sum 12,500/., which they now had the means to return wen requires!. With regard to the calls, some parties had paid them up in full, while sums rec-ived from others who had subscribed were in dis pute, and these sums were placed in a suspense account anti; the matter in dispute was settled. Since the last meeting 500/. of that sum had been paid, and the sus pense account was reduced by tbat amount, and as the other disputed sums were settled they would be deducted until the whole was extinguished. The accounts bad been audited by Mr. Armstrong mid Mr. Copeetock, and there e ' )ui ' lbo "° doubt as to the correctness of the items. Par liament had refused to allow the 71,000/. deposited in Chancery to be withdrawn for the works until the speci fied time, but they agreed to extend the time for corn. mencing the works one year from the let August next. After some angry observations on the affairs of the company, r. l'AlALrzs begged to assure the meeting. that the , lirectors• had not received one farthing for their expenses ~tit of pocket nor for their servics. The cost of the first application to Parliament was limited to 3,0001. ; but the second application was opposed by Alderman st thing they could' ,f the company.

D DALHOUSIE'S PENSION. A sßecial general court of the East India Company wps held yaelertlay for the purp ose o f l a yi ng b e f ore the 'p6- prietors, for their approbatioa, a resolution of the Court of Directors, passed on the 25th of April, granting to the garqtris of Dalhousie, K.T., late Governor-Generel ladia, a retiring. pensiste or annuity of 5,090/. pbr annum, There were sixty or more of the proprietors present. Lieut.-Colonel SYSEs, the chairman, explained to them, after the report of the Court of Directors ha _I been read, that it was proposed . to grant this pension in grateful testi eriony of the services - of one of the ablest men who hail ever administered the government of the British empire in India. Notwithstanding the various changes which bad been of late years effected, the East India Company stiltpossessed the power, subject to the control of the Board orCommis sioners, of rewarding the zeal and the merits of heir own servants. lie referred to numerous instances, fro; Lord Clive to Lord Hardirge, in which tfita power 14d been ex ercised by the company ; and he thenleroceedsild to state, following the report of the directors, the -4 - bunds upon which Lord Dalhousie had a claim to their gratitude. During his administration the British territo4bati been greatly extended on the western and on the east Aides of our old possessions, as well as in Central Ie he Pan jaub of ancient renown had been the scone tab mili tary glaies e which outshone those bf former conquerors-- the occasion of their acquisition being the revolt Or Moolraj, and subsequently of the Sikh army, after the forbeatenc4 which they had experienced from Lord Hardinge. The conquest of Pegu, also, had increased our resources, whilst it had diminished the means of aggression posse'sied- by-a power which always sought to use them ta our detriment.' The kingdom of Nagpore, which was wrenched from the declining Mogul empire by the Mahrattas, hurl fallen to us, by the ex_ timatiop of the family of its princes. ,In that case, as in the ca,se of the Punjaub, great forbearance had previously beep shown by the British Governnient, the conduct of the Rajah, in the Mahratta war of 1817, having caused the forfeiture of his dominions, to whiqh, nevertheless, his family was after wards restored. The kingdom of Oude, likewise, had been recently brought under British rule, relieving it from that long-continued oppression which hail outraged humanity, and had been a disgrace to theguarantae of the British Go vernment, under which it existed. Former governors general had repeatedly given a Solemn warning to the rulers of Oude, but,it was Lord Dalhousie who carried out the dictates of a just and sound policy by effecting that transfer of the authority . ' Whieh had been acceptable not only to the people, but to the chiefs, and which had caused not one drop of bloodshed, but had been made with a gene ral acquiescence. The financial results of these acquisi tions of territory, together with those of Setters and Borer, were very satisfactory. Tho Punjaub yielded a re venue of 1,500,0001. ; Pepe, in this very year, would yield 270,0001.; Nagpore, with the tribute which it formerly paid, gave '410,000/. ; and Oade, even at present, yielded 1,450,0001. ; these sums, with the revenue derived from Setters; the cession from Elydorabad, and ottoSr sources, made up a total of 4,330,0001. per annum. But if the genius of LordDalhoasie bad been conspicuous in con ducting wars, and in the augmentation of the empire, it hail been so, not less, is consolidating the internal govern ment, in establishing Ipmeficial institutions, and in pro moting social improvement and agricultural or commercial prosperity. Scene of his most eminent labours might here briefly be mentioned. Works of irrigation, to preserve the people frOm the disasters of drought, early engaged I his attention. The Ganges Canal, the greatest work of that kind aver yet seen, was projected before he assumed the government of India, and 170,0901. had then already been expended on it ; but so important did he consider it, that, although encumbered with wars, which 'caused a heavy drain on the finances, he devoted a mil lion and a. quarter sterling to that object, and on the Bth of April, 1854, he had the happiness of seeing the opening of that prodigious work, which, when its branches .weye finished, would extend above 930 miles, and irrigate an area of 1,470,000 ems. Another groat work of ,the same kind was now in progress in the Punjaub ; it would be navigable, and would extend, with its branches, 461 miles. There were also canals, for the purposes of irrigation, in Scinde and other provinces, constructed under Lord Dal housie's auspices, and other works, of civil or military uti lity, roads, bridges, gaols, barracks, and public buildings. An idea of the vast extent of theirs undertakings might be formed by looking at the public works budget. The outlay upon them in the year 1853-4 —was as much as 2,520,00 G/. sterling ; and in the year 1851.5 it was no less than 2,991,5CXX.1 the - budget for the present year would be 2,471,8211., the total outlay in the last three years would be 8,907,0501. No other government upon earth had done so much in this period to advance the pre• gross and welfare of the country. Ibis total would:ouch exceedthat of all the deficits of the revenue during Lord Dal housie's administration ; and under these circumstances no well wisher to the prosperity of India would regret that those deficits had been created. To carry out theee'great works systematically and under proper supervision,. Lord Dalhousie had originated and established a distinct depart ment of publio works in each presidency, as well as giving them his own earnest attention. The electric telegraph was commenced at Calcutta in Nov., 1353, and by the energy of Dr. O'Shaughnessy, it was enabled on the 21th of March following to carry a message to Agra, a distance of 800 miles ; and by the Ist Feb., 1855, the three presidencies of India were brought into telegraphic communication With each other, over a space of 3,050 miles ; and now the 'lines were in working order over nearly 4,090 miles. The railways of India, though constructed by private capital, °yet) much to Lord Dalhousie, who was the author of a ceUiprebenkive plan for a system of Indian railways ; and to his hearty co-operation the railways were indebted for the facilities of getting land and for the encouragement which had been afforded to them. Lord Dalhousie had also reformed the Indian post-office, and given the people of that country the same great boon of a penny postage over immense distances which we enjoyed in England, and arrangements had been made by him with the Eng lish Post-office by , which the postage of a letter from Bog land to India, or from India to this country, was reduced to 6d. This was not the least of the social advantages derived from his administration. The gross revenue of India had risen during the term of his government from twenty-six millions sterling to about thirty millions in the present yeas'. He found a large annual defici ency in 1847.8 and in 1848-9, but in the four succeeding years he had p surplus, until, in 1853.4, began those mag nificent improvements, and the construction of those great publio works, which became a surplus charge. But the net amount of the deficiencies of revenue during bis admi nistration was 6,105,1171., whereas it should be remem bered, as above stated, that the total expenditure for pub. lie works in the same period was 8,907,3811. It was evi dent, therefore, that the ordinary revenues of the Indian empire were more than sufficient to cover the ordinary charges, and only failed when the extraordinary public works system began. Amongst the financial operations of Lord Dalhousie should not be omitted his conversion of the 5 per cent. debt into a 4 per cent. debt, by which ho had saved above 300,000/. per annum to the state. To improve the moral and intellectual condition of the people had been an object of his earnest and continual care. He had established departments of public instruc Lion in all the presidencies. and promoted .#ho—esta blishment of schools, both English and vernacular, of eelleges for general science and literature, medical science, and practical engineering. The formation of museums, art societies, and lending libraries, had engaged his liberal benevolence. It might bs mentioned that, on the death of the late Mr. Beeton, a member of the Legislative Council, who had established a school at Calcutta for the education of girls, Lord Dalhousie took that school under his care, supported it at his own private expense, till the depart ment of public instruction was createl, to which it was handed over. It would be difficult to enumerate all the multitude of various objects in which the vigorous ant active mind of Lord Dalhousie had been employed. The natural production of India, cotton, tea, iroq, forests, agricultural improvement, seaports, naviret'At t ief rivers, inland communications, the suppression of suttee, thuggee, infanticide, and human sacrifices, the improv ment of the condition of native and European soldiers, the care of cadets, the preservation of the ancient monu ments of India, dispensaries, vaccination, silk, merino, sheep—in short, nothing appeared to have been too great 4 or too minute for the grasp of his beneficent intelligenoe." Perhaps it might be objected that the extension of territory, the increase of revenue and oven the im provement of the internal administration, did not necessa rily involve the welfare of the people, and thatif they were oppressed by undue taxation they might still be in a lan guishing condition. The trade and shipping returns would afford some indications of what was the fact. For many years past the industry of the prodacers iu India had been so active that the balance of trade in favour of India had gone on increasing from , year to year. In the five years from 1819.50 t0'1853-4; that balance of trade in favour of India amounted altogether to 40 millions sterling, and last year alone it was above 8 millions. In consequence of Eu ropean manufactures being little suited to the tastes and wants of the natives of India, it had 1?oen found neces , ary to liquidate that balance of trade by remittances of bullion; and in the last 20 years about 64 millions sterling ire silver had been senteto India, of which about 50 millions sterling never left the country again. Nearly 43 millions sterling of silver had been'taken to the whets in India by private individuals, not by the Government, and converted into rupees, and Government had recoined a large amount of old rupees, so that silver to the amount of 56neillipneesterling, had beerput into circulation.. The shipping and naviga tion returns of India showed that the number of ships had increased from 3,933 in 1843.6 to 5,815 in 1:52 3, and the ' -- silt I' of the SINAITi° INSCRIPTION; - against the Incorrect wa: , ,,is. observations in the Rev.

The fol lowing account of the lamentable occurrence has been furnished by Mr. Manning Thatcher, one of the mates on board the clipper, and son of Mr. Thatcher, of th e King's-road :—Our ship was 700 tons burden, and was laden with tea, silk, and curiosities. left Shanghai on the 11th Jan. last, and had fine weather, but a long passage of four months. Nothing occurred worthy of note tilt we arrived in the Channel. Ou Saturday night last, the 10th inst.., at half-past eleven, we had a collision off -Brighton 'with a brig. She struck us on the port bow ; we immediately sounded the pumps—three inches in the well. Five minutes after sounded again, and the water came over our sounding rod, which was two feet in length. We immediately manned the pumps, but all to no pur pose. Our captain (Buckham) saw she was in a sinking state. The boats, two in number, were immediately lowered, and when we saw there were no hopes of saving the ship, we prepared to aban don her. Captain Buckhatn was the last to leave her. We burnt blue lights and fired musketoons, and then took to the boats. Two hours after the barque Margaret, of Liverpool, hove in sight. She backed her main-yards and took us a-board, and remained by the ship till she sank. The brig that struck us (supposed to be a Dutchman), as soon as the accident happened, bore away from us, and- - rendered no assistance whatever. A pilot cutter, the Twin, of Dover, seeing the pieces of wreck floating about, and the Planet's boats tow ing astern of the ntrgiret, concluded that some thing serious had happened. Sh© bore down to us, and took the captain and crew and one .pas senger, in all 24 souls, on board and took us into Portsmouth, the wind being foul for Brighton. We arrived at the Sailors' dome at Portsmouth at half-past eight on Sunday night. Mr: Thatcher's son, with the rest of the crew, lost everything, and was obliged.to borrow clothing to come into his father's house, where he arrived at nine o'clock on Monday morning. The vessel was laden with tea, silk, and a valuable China cargo, no part of which was saved. A case con taining religious publications and a idrauslati on of the Bible into the Chinese language, directed to the British and Foreign Bible Society of London ) , was among the lost cargo. We are glad to learn that both ship and cargo are insured. MR. BUCHANAN ON TllB DIFFICULTY BETIVREN GREAT BRITAIN AND AMERICA. Mr. BUchanan, says the New York Daily Times, has just experienced au enth us i as ti c recep ti on i n Philadelphia: In his reply to the congratulatory welcome tendered to him at the Merchants' Ex change —he said :" I have be en a b roa d i n t r yi ng tunes, i t is true ; but the great principles which have guided my conduct abroad are these—Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none. Ask for nothing that is not clearly right in our intercourse with foreign nations, and submit to nothing which is wrong. These are the two leading maxims of the great political apostles of our country, and as long as we act upon such great and glorious principles we are sure always to be in the right. (Applause.) Gentlemen, it is hardly proper for me to speak of the diplomatic business in which I have been en gaged on the other side of the Atlantic ; but I have been asked repeatedly—ls there danger of war ? I think not. But it is simply because I believe our country to be so clearly and decidedly in the right on the questions involved between the two countries that the British people never will consent to irritate them into a dangerous condition for both parties. • Our commerce now covers every ocean ; our mercantile marine is the largest in the world. We have the greatest interest of any nation on earth in preserving peace. We ought to cultivate peace with all nations. But there is an interest superior to all these considerations, and that is our national honour. If war should ensue —I feel, however, no apprehension of danger at the present moment—if the national honour of this people should ever be insulted by any Govern ment upon the face of the earth—l know that the merchants themselves, who would have the greatest sacrifices to make, would stand by the country at the expense of (everything human. (Expressions of approbation.) I can perceive no danger. I ought, to say, gentlemen, that I have h ones tl y maintained th e i ns truction received from my country in the negotiation which I have had with England; and, while I have never hesitated boldly, but courteously, to express my opinions, I have never found anything but personal kindness in my intercourse with the British people. (Approba tion.) I do not believe that any American can ingratiate himself into the good opinions of any people i n E urope b y .conc ealing his honest senti ments upon all proper occasions. I have acted upon that principle, and I have no reason to re pent it." [ADVERTISE3 [ ENT.I TRE GENERAL ILLUMINATION.

ON TBE CRIMEAN C A M.P.,4 lON. In M. de Bazancourt's history of :the expedition to the Crimea, just published, is to be found the following letter from the Emperor of the French, which Commandant Faye had been charged to deliver to General Canrobert, Commandant-in- Chief of the French army in the East, after the rupture of the Conferences of Vienna. It may be remembered that the Emperor had resolved to proceed in person to the Crimea to share the fatigues and perils of the French army, but had been pre vented by grave reasons of State. . The following letter'communicates teGeneral Canrobert the plan of campaign on which the Emperor intended to act, had he gone there. It says "April 28th, 1854. "The fire which has been opened against Sebastopol will by this time have either succeeded or failed. In either case, it is absolutely necessary to quit the defen sive position in which the army has remained during the last six months. For this purpose, in accord with the English Government, I would have the troops divided into three armies—one siege army, and two of opera tions. The first is destined to protect Kamiesh and to-blockade the garrison of Sob-istopol ; the secotid`to operate at a short distance from Ba,laklava, and, in case of need, to take possession of the heights of ilackenzie ; and the third is intended to effect a diversion (1). If, as I have reason to think, the Russians have 35,000 men in Sebastopol, 15,68'0 to the north of Eupatoria , and 70,000 between Simpheropol, th e Belbek, and the Tchernaya, it will suffice to have 60,000 good troops to destroy all the Russian army, which •night be taken in the rear before it could unite all its forces, and even should it be able to unite them the numbers would be almost equal ; for.tbat great principle of war must not be forgotten, that if a diversion is made at a certain dis tance from the base of operations, it is necessary that the troops etnp'oyed in such a diversion should be in sufficient number to be able of themselves to resist the army of the enemy, who might unite all its efforts against them. All this being well considered, I would have sent into the valley of the Baidar the 40,000 men taken from the army of ' Seba . 4topol ; and, sup ported by Lord Raglan, I would have occupied, from Skelia as far as the bridge of Teul6 and Tchorgoun, the four roads whi c h cross th e T chernaya ; we should' thus have had so many tetes-de-pont, threatening the left of the Russians established on the heights of Mackenzie. After 'this movement, I would have left Lard finglan master of all the positions on the left of the Tehernaya from Skelia as far as Tchorgoun ; I would have assembled in the rear of the lines occupied by the English the 40,000 men of the active army, with the cavalry, and the means of transport at my disposal,- a aiting in that position for the arrival of my corps d'ar m6e, which, coaling from Constantinople, would have received orders to reconnoitre Cape Phorus (2). What would have been our position as regarded the Russians I The movement on Baidar, by giving us the passages; oser the Tchernaya, would have threatened their left and led them to suppose that it was our intention to dislodge them from the heights of Inkerman and Mackenzie. ' The Russians would have been thus kept in check, and their attention drawn on Inkerman and Perekop. , Our positions would have been excellent, and my plans being unknown, if anything bad deranged them, no thing would have been compromised. But supposing that nothing had opposed the general plan, it would have been carried out in the following manner :—As soon as the fleet, bringing the 25,000 men of the reser had g been seen approaching, or d ers wou ld h ave been a for them to proceed t o Al ouc ht a , th e b eac h at whi tin ‘ place, having bee n secre tly exam i ne d , was found fa vourable for a landing. A first body of 3,000 men would immediately on their landing establish themselves three leagues from Aleuchta, beyond the defile of Ayen. No others would be landed until information had been received of the occupation of that defile. After finch in formation had been received, the remainder of the 25,000 men would land, and the 40,000aassembled at Baidar would receive orders to march along the road which skirts the seacoast by Yalta. In three days, that is to say two days after the landing of the army at Alouchta, she 40,000 men from Baidar would have joined under the walls of Simpheropol the 25,000 just landed ; the t iwn would have been taken possession of, and a suffi cient garrison left in'it, or a good position would have been taken up on is Aroad we had just passed, to secure the rear of the arnal... , Now, of two things, one—either the Russian army before Sebastopol would have aban . P i ned taut forannable position to meet the army which would advance from the side of Bakshi-Serai, end then the first army of operation, under the orders of Lord Raglan, would push forward, and take possession of the position of Inkerman ; or the Russians would await in their lines the arrival of the army advanc ing from Simpheropol, and then the latter, advancing from Bakshi-Serai on Sebastopol, always supporting its left on the inoun - aine, would term a junction with the army of Marshal Raglan, who had advanced from Bai•Jar on Albat, repulse the Russian army, and drive it back into Sebastopol or into the sea. This plan appears to me to possess great advantages. In the first place. the army as far as Simpheropol, which is only nine leagues from Alouchta, would be in communication with the sea ; the country is very healthy, and better sups plied with water than any other part of the Crimea ; its rear would be always secure ; it would occupy ground where our inferiority in cavalry would be less sensibly felt ; and, lastly, it would be all at once on the Russian line of operations, and cut off all the supplies, by pro bably taking possession of their parks of reserve. If the defile of Ayen—an indispensable element in the success of the plan—should be so fortified as not to be able to be taken, the 3,000 men who advanced for that pur pose would have been re-embarked ; the army of re serve would then have been landed at Balaklava, and the diversion which it was intended to snake on Sim pherepol would have been made by Baidar, but with fewer advantages. As so the march of the 40,000 men from Baidar to Alouchta, it would have been without danger, as the ground is protected by al most inaccessible mountains, and is at a distance from the Russian army. Our army might, during almost all the distance along the sea-shore, have been followed by steamers to receive the sick (3). If, on the contrary, it had been wished to make a diversion by Eupatoria, my opinion is that nothing could have been more dangerous or more opposed to the rules of art and to the counsels of prudence. In order to operate from Eupatoria on Simpheropol, the army so engaged would be in an men and unhealthy country, and almost with out water; it would be on ground where the Russian cavalry, !Mob is very numerous, would have every chance of success ; and it would have to make a march of 16 leagues in face of an enemy which might come from the north as well as from the south, fall on the columns, and cut off all retreat. The wings of the army would have no support from the nature of the ground. In order to go from Eupatoria to Simpheropol, it should carry with it all its provisions and all its ammunition, for when once the army bad left Eupatoria, the 15,000 Rus sians in that neighbourhood, and most of whom are ca valry, would harass their rear, and prevent the arrival of any convoys. If it should meet with any resistance. at Simpheropol, and the Russian army should by a change of front have taken a position on the road over which the army had passed, that army would be either annihi lated or starved out. There is besides another absolute principle, and that is, that a flank march is not possible unless at a distance from the enemy, and when sheltered by the nature of the ground. The army which would operate from Eupatoria to Simpheropol would conse qutntly have no line 3f operations nor any defence as sured for its flanks, nor any means of retreat, nor fa vourable field of battle, nor any means of procuring food. Lastly, this army of operation, instead of being Coln. pact, composed of soldiers of the same ration, corn. mended by a single chief, would be formed in great part of Turks ; and as 901118 allied divisions would 13,2 added to it, there would be neither unity, nor security, nor absolute confidence. If, ins cad o f marc hi ng on Sim pheropol, the army leaving Eupatoria sh ou ld d es i re to proceed direct to Sebastopol, it must recommence under disadvai , tageous conditions the campaign which we made in disembarking in the Crimea. It should carry the formidable positions of the Alma, of the Katcba, and of the Belbek. This enterprise is impo-sible, for it would be di Eastrouß. Hence follows th e absolute necessity of only leaving at Eupatoria the number of Turks Strictly indispensable to defend the place. Such is the plan which I wished to execute at the head of the brave troop - s which you have hitherto commanded, and It is with the most, profounl and acute sorrow that I find that graver interests force toe to remain in Europe. " NAPOLEON." (1) let, The siege army, composed of 30,000 French and 30,000 Turks, without counting 10,000 men who cannot be disposed of ; 2d, the first army of operation under Lord Raglan, of 25,000 English, 15,000 Piedmentese, 5,000 French, and 10,000 TurkS ; and 3d, the second army of operation, of 40,00 J French of the army of Sebastopol, and 25,000 of the army of reserve at Constantinople. (2) The active army would be thus organised :—General Canrobert, general-in-chief ; Ist corps d'arineo, General Bosquet, with 4 divisions of infantry an d 1 of light ca valry; 2d corps d'armee, General Itegnauld de St. Jean d'Angely, with 2 divisions of infantry, 1 division of the guard, and 1 division of heavy cavalry. .Gen. Pelissier would have continued to command the besieging army. (3) On the other hand, the Minister of War would have had collected at Constantinople rations of moat, gun powder, and other objects occupying little space, in order that the soldiers by leaving all their other bag gage m i g ht have each carr i e d e i g ht d a ys' provisions, with a shirt and a greatcoat. The corps d'armee of reserve would follow the army of Baidar, would carry• the same quantity, so that the 60,010 men in commencing the movement would have 16 days' provisions assured to them. When once they had reached Sinapheropol, the carriages might re victual the army from Alouchta.
