may probably be turned to some account, for even
under its present management it will at any time
be able to give oniplo3raent to top or twelve thousand

ARRANGEMENTR OF THE EXPEDITION
AGAINST THE CRIMEA.
LATX ad vices have eoptitiped most important intelli-
gence on the arrangerpetits under which the British
part of the allied forces would carryout their great apd
terrible undertaking. Some points remained to be
decided, but the general plan of attack would be as
follows :-
First wdl come the little steam-tugs Sharki, Varna, Cir-
cassian, Danube, Brenda, Fig my, and another', in a line
parallel with the beach, and in the order indicated : they
are to tow the transports and the large boats full of troops.
Next will advance the line of the first division parallels to
that of the tugs, in thefollowing order, from left to right :-
Transport No. 50. the Courier, with the 19th Regiment
on board; transpert No. 78, the Orieql, with the 83th Regi-
ment on board (horses and men) ; steamer Victoria, with
the 7th and 23rd Fusilier Regiments ou board. Next, No.
21 transport, Pride of the Ocean, with the reserve ammuni-
tion; No. 44, the dfegera, with 77th Regiment; No. 43,
No. 42, the .lodge, with 33rd Regiment; No. 89, with
Royal Horse artillery ; No. 98, with the same ferce; her
Majesty's steamer Fury ; No. 30 ; No. 60 ; the Emperor
steamer, with BrigadierCodrington and staff, Captain Mac-
donell, aide-de-camp to Sir George Brown, &c.
Sir George Brown, attended by Captain Whitmore and
Captain Pearson, will proceed to the scene of operations on
board her Majesty's ship Agamemnon, Sir E. Lyons Admiral
in command.
On looking at the above arrangement for the light divi-
sion, it will be observed that the line of the light division
consists of fifteen vessels. Of these five are steamers, the
remaining ten are sailing-vessels. In proceeding towards
their destination the line will, of course, be at right angles
to the beach, each steamer taking two transports in tow.
Thus, for example, on leaving Baltachik the Victoria
steamer will tow transports 50 and 78, and thus will lead
the line ; the lilegera, following No. 78, will tow the trans-
ports 21 and 44 ; following N 0.44, the Andes will drag after
her Nos. 43 and 42. After No. 42, the Fury will come
towing No. 89 and 98 ; and the Emperor will bring up the
rear with No. 30 and No. 60 transports after her.
On approaching the shore sufficiently near to land, the
steamer on the left flank will stop, and the whole line will
gradually sweep round to the right, till it is parallel to the
shore, instead of being at right angles to it. After the
light division comes the line of the first division, under his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as follows:-
Transports No. 47 ; No. 23, with 79th Highlanders ; the
Emes, with 42nd Highlanders on board; No. 19 ; No. 14,
the Kangaroo, with Scotch Fusilier Guards ; No. 10; No.
7, the Souvenir, with Coldstream Guards ; No. 4 ; No. 3 ;
No. 65 ; No. 67, the rosining, with the duke's staff.
Next come the second division, commanded by Lieut-
tenant-General Sir D. L. h:vaus.-No. 84, with reserve
ammunition; No. 51, the Yukon, with Brigadier-General
Pennerather and staff and the 30th Regiment on board ;
Nu. 88, No. 32, the Hydaspes,with Brigadier Adams and
staff and 49th Regiment; No. 31, No. 91, the Ifelbourne'

London steamer, with Lieutenant:General Evans, Colbnel
Wilbraham, Deputy-Adjutant-General, Captain Lane Fox,
Deputy-Quartermaater-General, and the rest of the 41st
Regiment, &c., on board.
Next come the third division, commanded by Sir R.
England.-Troop-ship Apollo, with 38th Regiment on

grand reserve of ammunition ; the siege train on board the

hoard ; No. 58, No. 37; the Orinoco, with the Ist battalion

engineer atores; the Jason, with 14th Light Dragoons ; NR.

Last of all comes the siege train, as follows :—No. 49 and
No. 54, the ,sielney, with battering-guns, ; No. 5 and No.
45, with the grand reserve magazines ; and the Ausiraliats,
with the siege train. A vast number of commissariat
vessels and store ships will follow.
From all we can hear, it is most probable that the Turks
will be placed in the centre, that the English will take the
left, and that the French will take the right of the line of
operations. However, even the above programme is not
to he received us final and unalterable.
