OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)
CAMP ABOVE SEBASTOPOL, Sam 4.
A general belief prevaile that an universal U flit-
ting" is going on in Sebastopol. Constant trains of
waggons across the bridge, and barges across the
harbour, appear to be carrying away the domestic
goods and chattels of the inhabitants. What passes
across during the night cutunot be seen, bat it is sur-
mised that the Russians will not leave us all their
arsenal and other stores, and that no little quantity
of these are being transferred to the opposite side of
the roadstead, under cover of the darkness. The
close proximity of our Allies and ourselves to the,
first line of defence, the extreme probability, almost
amounting to a certainty, that this line must shortly
be in oar possession ; the impending sate of the
shipping, whether sank by the Russians themelves,
or distroyeri by the Anise; the welbgreeeded.
essetesee that, the outer line of defences taken, the
inner lines must shortly fall; the effect of these
circumstances, equally known to the enemy as to our-
selves; the great defensive preparations for holding
a position on the north side, are all pointed at as ar-
guments that the great bridge has been constructed
to facilitate the exodus which, to a certain extent,
seems to be going on under our very observation. As
laden oart after cart is seen to pass over, and boat after
boat, some of the soldiers looking on seem to think
that the Russians are acting very sourvily in thus
depriving them of their hard-earned prizes, and hope
that the assault may take place at least before the
town is wholly cleared of its contents.
In opposition to theself-assuranee that the south side
is about to be abandoned, there is this belief, founded
on the reports of spies and partly our knowledge of
the movements of the enemy from observation, that
the Russians are preparing to make a general and
decisive attack on our position. The force of the
Russians on the Mackenzie heights is known to be
very great, and would appear to be daily concentra-
ting in greater numbers. The very existence in the
Crimea of the main body of the Russian army must
depend on some bold and determined move, and it is
not unlikely that the Russian generals may hope, by
overpowering numbers, to force our present extended
position, and gain some signal advantage over us.
On the other hand, the Allies are eager that the
enemy may make the attempt; confidently trusting
to what they consider, as well from the comparative
courage of the troops as from the advantage of poli-
ticos, must be the inevitable result. The question at
issue must shortly be decided, or the Russian army
of the north must abandon its present encampments.
I forward a diary of occurrences during the last
three days.

Sept. I.—The enemy again made an attempt last
night to interrupt the progress of our new sap on the
right attack, and again met with temporary success.
They selected a time for their advance, when every
thing around was in comparative obscurity, a short
period before the moon acquired sufficient elevation to '
throw its light over that part of the ground of French.
man'. Hill, where the party were working. It was
about half-past 10 o'clock. They came on with a
sudden rush, and a yell drove in some dozen double
sentries who had been placed in advance of the
men working ; and for a abort time were within the
sap from which the unarmed workmen had been
compelled hastily to retire. Some of the gabions
were thrown over, and some tools taken. They were
than driven out, but not without loss on our side.
The affair cost us Captain Lionel Fraser, of the 95th
Regiment, killed; Captain Charles Cornwallis Rose,
of the Buffs, severely wounded and taken prisoner,
and Lieutenant Mark Walker, Adjutant of the 30th
Regiment, severely wounded. Lieutenant Walker
was remarkably active on the occasion of this attack.
He was struck on the shoulder by a shell, and the
wound is of so dangerous and extensive a character,
that it is feared it will prove fatal. Captain Roes, of
the 3rd Buffs, was seen to be lying on the ground,
and it was reported that he was very badly wounded.
When sought for afterwards, to be brought in, it
was found that he had been taken away by the enemy.
Captain Fraser received his death-wound from a rifle-
ball. It was only the second time he had been in the
trenches. Captain Anderson, who, as engineer, was
directing the work, escaped unhurt. Captain Garnet
Wolseley, 90th Regiment, who was acting as engineer
on the previous night, was found to have been very
severely hurt. He received no less than four wounds.
Two of these wounds, were in the face, and one, it is
feared, will lead to loss of sight in one eye. He was
struck by several fragments of stone, which were
driven against him by a round shot. The gallant
conduct of :Captain William Pechell, of the 77th
Regiment, on this occasion, is much spoken of. At
the head of a small party of men, he not only drove
the Russians back from the sap, but also from several
of their ambuscades, which they had formed behind
small walls of loose stones, and compelled them to
retire into the ravine.

A large body of the enemy crossed over the bridge
from the north side to-day. It was calculated that there
were about three thousand troops in all. In all pro-
bability these were an ordinary garrison relief. It
hu been frequently noticed that the men from the
north side cross in the day time, while those going
over in return front the south side have seldom been
seen. It is probable that the troope who have been
relieved pm over at night. Numerous carts have been
pude( the bridge. Those from the south side are
invariably laden ; from the north they are generally
empty. It is not possible to distinguish the nature
of the things being serried off; bat from the irregular
shapes of the objects, their comparative lightness—
for the art. are usually loaded to double their height
and are drawn by only one or two horses—end from
women being seen not unfrequently walking by and
amompaoying them. it is generally supposed that they
consist of articles of domestic furniture. The load in
the cart is not infrequently covered over by tar-
paulin or canvas. No packages of uniform shape, nor'
other indications of government stores, hava been ob-
served. The bridge is sufficiently wide for two carts
to piss each ether readily, and at the same time to
afford ample room for foot-passengers on both sides.
It seems to be as mach as twelve or thirteen yards in
width. About half way across is a draw-bridge, and
on one side, near this opening, is a lofty flagstaff.
Flap are hoisted for signals, and these are repeated
at each end. Notice is thus given when the draw-
bridge is open that passengers are not to attempt to
crone, and they as well es vehicles are detained near
the landing-places at either sad.
The new works oa the north side are progressing
very rapidly. Boorman working parties are en-
gaged upon them. Three new batteries have been
commenced to the east of the great Star Fort, be-
tween it and the battery on the verge of the cliff at
the entrance to the Bay of Inkennano—" the butte.
tie de la eimetiere," as the French all it. Two new
guns have been added to this last-named work, so
that it is now armed with Dowries., instead a twelve,
guns. The general Amster el the new works which
have latelybees thrown up with so much rapidity

um carried along the heights from the Wasp
Fort to Fort Constantine, and having the embrasures
directed against the sea on that side, the other line
extending along the heights from Fort Constantine
to the Cemetery Battery, and looking upon the road-
stead of Sebastopol. Several additions and outworks
have also been made to the Star Fort. The works
generally are of a very solid and massive character,
and the rapidity with which they have been thrown
up, exhibits the remarkable energy of the enemy to
which we are opposed. This command of labour
appears to be almost unlimited.
Carts bringing forage and gabions, long beams of
timber slang from four-wheeled waggons, rimilar to
=if-waggons used for the same purpesean
Visa main tarrying package., are ob-
served to come into the north side from the eastward
daily. " Sebastopol on the north side," or " Vanity
Fair" as souse call the Russian town on the opposite
heights, notwithstanding that it is exposed to the
risk of fire from the French rocket batten?. at Inker-
mann, has grown considerably of late. With an ordi-
nary tilt scope, all the movements, the going to and
fro of a large and bustling population, can be sur-
veyed in "dumb show," and many of the occupations
of the people in and about its nearest streets, distin-
guished. The French have only disturbed the tran-
quility of this town of huts and canvas, on one or two
occasion., but distant as it is, it is completely within
rocket range. The moderation of our Allies is no
doubt due to the fact that the place is evidently occu-
pied by civilians, and is not a military settlement.
Major-General Jones, of the Royal Engineers, who
has been suffering from an aggravated attack of
sciatica, and who at one time, it wee feared, would
have to leave the Crimea, is much improved in health.
The day has been sunny and dry, but cool. The
moon is on the wane, and does not rise till a late
hoar, affording a favourable interval between sunset
and moon rise fir the occupation. of the working
parties in the siege operations. The last few nights
have been very cool, and the men in the trenches have
felt the sudden change and contrast of temperature
with what it was, lees than a fortnight ago, rather
acutely. There as been a proportionate increase in
the number of sick daring the last week, probably
from this cause, together with the circumstance that
many drafts of young and nosessoned soldiers have
arrived lately. The 82nd Regiment arrived in the
Indiana to-day, and the 66th and Met Regiments are
reported to be outside. One of these regiments will
relieve the 13th Light Infantry, hitherto stationed at
Balaklava ; the latter moving up to join the First
Division. Several vessels with drafts from England
and Malta have also arrived.

Sept. 2.—There was a constant fire of musketry
during the night, but only from the sharpshooters
stationed in the advanced parallel. The working
parties were not employed at the recent sap.
An officer of the 2nd battalion of the Rifle Brigade,
Lieut. Lionel Cary, was wounded in the hand by •
rifle shot, in the right attack last night. He lost one
finger and part of another, in consequence of the
injfluury.
'me was very little fire from the batteries to-day.
In the afternoon, between 3 and 4 o'clock, a fire
broke out in:the Karabelnaia suburb, behind the Little
Itedan. The French had been actively shelling in
this direction from their batteries near the Careening
ravine. The fire continued burning for an hour and
a half, and evidently spread over some considerable
extent of ground. It occurred probably among some
of the small houses formerly inhabited by the sailors
in this neighbourhood.
Some large rafts have been towed from the north
side and brought towards Fort Paul to-day. They
were floated through the opening near the centre of
the bridge. Previous to their reaching the draw-
bridge, a dark flag was hoisted at the flag post on
the bridge, and it remained free from all persons,
excepting those employed near the opening, until the
rafts were towed through and the drawbridge closed.
As soon as this was accomplished, the flag was
lowered, and immediately afterwards a throng of 11
persons, of both sexes, though chiefly men, and
numerous carts and vehicles carrying loads, moved
along it from Sebastopol towards the north side. A
large number of carts and waggons continued to
move in the same direction. At the landing-place,
near the entrance to the South harbour, some barges
were observed to be loaded with articles, which ap-
peared to be articles of furniture, and these after-
wards left for the north side.

From sunset until 10 o'clock, when the moon rose
above a dark bank of clouds, the evening was very
dark. To prevent the working party being inter-
rupted, a heavy fire of musketry. was kept up in front.
Toe shelliog was also very active.
Late in the evening notice was given to all the
troops to hold themselves in readiness for turning out
at a moment's notice. Spies reported that the Rus-
sian army had been joined by a force consisting at
least of thirty thousand men, and that an attack was
intended. The cavalry videttes also reported an in-
WIMPS of force and appearance of movement along the
Mackenzie heights. Oar cavalry and part of the
artillery were moved into to the plain at 2 a.m. The
French artillery of the Imperial Guard, which had
previously been stationed on the plateau near General
Boequet's head-quarters, also took up a position on
the side of a low sloping hill, in the middle
of the Balaklava valley, ready to act in
whatever direction their services might be
called for. Asa matter of precaution, all the steamers
in the harbour of Bslaklava were ordered to get up
steam, and to be ready to go out to sea as soon as
directions were given to do so. It was stated that
the attack of the Russians was to be on a grand
scale ; not only against the portion of the French and
Sardinians above the Tobernaya but also against the
right towards Balder, and against the siege works in
front. The night passed away, however, and the
day returned without even a demonstration on the
part of the enemy.
Sept. 3.—A fine bright morning. The sun exerts
greater power than it has appeared to do for some
days past, but its heat is tempered by a breeze from
the north-west. It was positively cold when the
troops were moving to the plain. The contrast be-
tween the temperature of • the night and the hours
whea the sun is above the horizon, is at present
strongly marked, and cannot fall to be very trying on
the constitutions of the troops, unless due precaution
is taken to provide for and meet the difference be-
tween the chills and the warmth to which they are
exposed.
Active exertions are being made to form divisional
and general commissariat deptits of stores and provi-
sions. It is now felt that we cannot depend upon the
railroad when the rainy weather sets in, and we have
no other complete road between Balaklava and the
front. The Woronoff road, on descending into the
plain, passes obliquely across towards Kaman, and
as no connecting road has been constructed betwedu
it and Balaklays, and the interval of two
miles or upwards will be converted into a mud
lapse as soon as the rains set in, this way of com-
munication will be virtually stopped. The French
road, which proceeds from Lukash, and passes by
the French and English head-quarters to Bentleys,
is io good repair and well drained, and will form a
good way of communication, along the leR lank. They
have also constructed an admirable road along the
t Rant, all the way to Inkermano. Efforts are
being made, by draining and other means, to make
the railroad genre and available for use, and encou-
ragement has been given to the shopkeepers at
ENDA totems as English Mum in front. Already
Donee shops are being established near the Fourth
Divides, dole to the tenni& The Ansa Tilley

of Little Xamiesch has been formed in the line of the
French flank road on the right, near to the point
where this is crossed by the Woronsoff road, and its
road•communication with the ports will remain good
daring the winter. These measures will, it is hoped.
render the troops independent of the necessity of com-
municating direct with the port.. when the winter
has set in.

The Himalaya steamer left with cavalry reinforce-
ments this morning for Bertch. Cossack intruders
have shown themselves rather numerously of late.
Half-past 9, p.m.—A very sharp musketry fire
is going on in front. The moon has not risen, and,
though the sky is clear from clouds, the stars afford
but little light. The fire has been taken up by the
batteries, and a heavy discharge of shot and shell is
being thrown in the direction of the supposed sortie,
and probable positions of reserves.
10 p.m.—The heavy fire lasted about 20 minutes,
and has now subsided into the ordinary dropping fire
of muskets and occasional csononade. The roar of
the latter is repeated a hseiredfold by the reverbera-
tions among the mountains towards Balaklava, and
dies away io a low rumbling murmur like the sound
of very distant thunder.

(PROM OUR OWN COI
CAMP BEFORE SE

Sarr. 4.

For a novelt, , we hp* bad one quiet, Sabbath-
like Sunday—one of the very few such which ever
permits the mind to dwell on the fact that the day
is indeed a sacred one. During the earlier part el
Saturday night a lively fire both of artillery and
small arms had, as usual, been kept up in the trenches,
but as morning drew on, it gradually subsided into
occasional shots, and by early noon even these had
almost ceased. Thence on till sundown • calm still-
ness reigned throughout the wide miles of tents,
and, for the first time for many months, I felt that
the day was indeed a holy one at home. Not the
least of the drawbacks on this life of turmoil sad
excitement is the gradual callousness which it Impe-
ders to everything that is solemn. Religious duties
which, however much they might be practically neg-
lected, would still be reverently thought of, and the
propriety of their observance theoretically admitted,
at home—here become banished out of sight and
thought, and the mind but too gladly takes refuge in
the excuse that " circumstances alter cases." 'Io be
sure, we have chaplains, and at a certain hour on
Sunday mornings they may be seen coursing through
the Litany in the centre of hollow squares; but how
different is this piece of regimental or brigade routine,
gone through in the midst of so many jarring and
thought-dispelling associations—a murderous can-
nonade booming on the ear, and noisy activity every-
where before the eye, from the impressive services
performed with all the adjuncts of outward decorum
and consecrated rest which belong to the day in
England ! If familiarity with death, indeed, tended
to produce soberness or reflection, our religious int.-
rests might suffer little through these disadvantages
of place and circumstance; but the Grim Teacher has
long ago lost hie terrors, and, in the absence of other
admonitory influences, the Horatian maxim, I greatly
fear, is the rule of life with moat of as.
With sunset on Tuesday, however, again came the
thundering salvoes from our own, hs French, and
the enemy's batteries; and about au hour alter a
sortie was made from the Malakhoff against the new
parallels in progress along its front. The redoubt
itself. at the same time, redoubled its fire upon the
Mamelon, to prevent the occupants of the latter from
playing on the salliers; but to this our twenty-one
gun and Quarry batteries speedily replied, and in a
few minutes the • Malakhoff, as seen from the height
on which stands the Victoria Redoubt, seemed
literally in a blaze with the constant showers of shell
which were thrown into and exploded within it : its
fire an the Mamelon was thus promptly silenced, and
aided by their field-pieces the party in the saps
were not long in rendering an account of their
visitors, who retired leaving some twenty dead or
wounded on the ground. The French, I am in-
formed, also lost some six or eight men in the scrim-
mage.
Whilst comparative inactivity, however, thus
reigns in the trenches, there is busy life and industry
enough in the camp. Warned by their dear-bought
experience of last winter, and justly distrustful of
governmental promises, the commanding officers of
regiments are taking time by the forelock, and
making every preparation for the wintering of
their men that can be done with small means
and their own internal resources. The Army
. .

Works Corps, too, is busy in cutting draining trencbis
and preparing roads, to which last, I am disposed to
think, we shall be as much indebted for facility of
transport from Balaklava during winter se to the
miserable tramway which we have dignified with the
name of railway. Badly made and badly managed,
this costly product of Messrs. Peto and Betts' en-
gineering skill has disappointed everybody and fallen
far short of the usefulness which was expected from
it; indeed, considering the quality of the materials
employed is its construction and the temporary cha-
racter of the whole work, I, for one of many, am puz-
zled to understand how it should have cost a third of
the sum sffixed against it in the estimates. To be sure,
the navvies employed on it did about as much work in
a day here as they must have done at home in three
hours; but even so, it is still difficult to see bow three
or four hundred thousand pounds could have been
expended on some eight miles of a line without
either cuttings, tunnellings, or any one of the other
items of constructive difficulty which constitute the
costliness of railroads in England. As it is, however,
it is well that we shall not be dependent on it alone
for roadway during the winter; fee, not to mention
the Woronzoff-road, which runs down from the ex-
treme front, between the Light and Fourth Divisions,
till within about a couple of miles of Balaklava, where
it winds aside to the Bardician camp, we shall have
one other good stosed and drained road in the close
neighbourhood of head-quarters.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT LATE ON THE
DANUBE NT

TURKISH CAMP, HEIGHTS OF
HAMARA, SEPT. 3.

Alarms are coming upon us in a perfect deluge.
In addition to the legion of which I have already
givenyon information, &growls& monster one yester-
day created and propagated by a swarm of spies, of
whom no lees than six came over in the course of the
day, all agreeing in stating that one of these daysl
—that is to say, either to-day, to-morrow, or the
day after—the position would be attacked on four dif-
ferent points by at least 90,000 men. This morn-
ing this information was confirmed by a letter re-
ceived from a Russian employe, who gives some ad-
ditional details, the nature of which I have
not learned. The consequence was, that we passed
the greater part of last night in waiting wearily for
the day, which, however, dawned gloriously without
a sound to disturb any one's slumbers wbo obese to
go to bed and maks up for his vigils by a hearty
more.

There has been a small squabble between the Turks
sad English relating to the road leading by the Ma-
rine Heights to Balaklava, which, after having been
cut up by Sir Colin Campbell during the winter, was
repaired by Omer Paola to facilitate his retreat in
once of s reverse here. It has been again cut scrum
and palisaded by the English ; an official oorrespon-
dance ensued. and the rest has been that the Turks
have levelled it again and made it fit for traffic,
though owing to the aboard line they followed in
cossinetiag some portioos of it two months ago, in
many places it is too precipitous for artillery to de-
scend without the horses sod guns running imminent
doh of tolling Late the abyss below. This Weir is a

capital illustration of the confusion which prevails
here, the utter want of all unity of action eveno the
simplest matters. Sentinels are posted by each armi.ee
if it were the only one in the Crimea and the othe.'s
were interlopers who had no business here. The
French cavalry are two. miles in advance of the
Turks, and nevertheless the latter have their senti-
nels and pickets thrown forward against them, as if
they were so many Cossacks. The English, in their
turn, repudiate the Turks by cuttings ditch across the
road behind them, and throwing out a sentaielle per-
due in front of the entrenchment on the heights, as if
Omer Pacha's army were expected to assault it. When
with these incidents one couples the fact, that not
only are there four generals-in-chief, each inde-
pendent of the others, but that, in the defence
of the one position on the Tcherneys, during
the recent engagement, the two generals of in-
fantry, French and Sardinian, were independent
each of the other, and the cavalry general of both,
one cannot help likening the whole business to a
fight in a fair, "everyman for himself and God for
all." If any one supposes that this can go on long,
even during the siege, or go on for a single day if a
campaign were being carried on in the open field,
without catastrophe, he is horribly mistaken. It is
only kind Providence, the valour of the men, and
' " lee bitiaes de l'ennemi," as the French say, we can
thank for having so long averted it. Another con-
sequence of this multiplicity of leaders is
that everyone is growling about the short-
comings of his neighbours, and bemoaning
his own hard lot. As if to supply the
only thing that is wanting to turn bad mo-
rals into certain defeat, Omer Pasha, while
leaving Osman Pacha in the chief command of the
16,000 Turkish troops, h.. given an independent
command and separate instructions (talimat) to each
of the two brigadiers, Ali Pacha and Ismail Paella;
so that we Dave now in the Crimea six generals-in-
chief. It is to Osman Paths Generals Simpson and
Pelissier look for the safety of the right of the
position ; but, as he justly remarks, he cannot be
answerable for it, were he ever so well disposed,
seeing that the two generals who hold the key of it
have orders from the Seidar-ekrem to retire whenever

they like. What can have induced Omer
Pacha to do this I am at a loss to
imagine. I would not repeat, could I bring myself
to believe it, the solution to the problem circulated
in the camp—that he simply wished to render any
triumph of the Turkish army in his absence impos-
sible. He has not yet arrived, though daily ex-
pected. His going to Asia his been, it appears,
decided at last. He will take with him a coneidei-
able portion of the force at present in the Crimea,
and a large number of the English medical staff
attached to his army, who, it is to be hoped, will have
more practice there than here.
Sept. 4.—The morning has passed over quietly,
notwithstanding the alarm. It remains to be seen
what to-mosrow will bring forth.

NAVAL AND MILITARY.

SOUTHAMPTON, Barr. 17.

The screw steam transport Hydaspes left here yes-
tarday,with 450 tons of shells, 26 huts, and above 20 officers,
many of whom belong to the Turkish Coatingent. She will
Ball at Plymouth for a detachment of the Land Transport
Corp.. The shells taken out by the Hydupes are all empty
ones. They are 13, 10, end 8 inch shells. The huts are all
for hospital service. They are much larger than those for
housing the healthy troops. Each hut coasists of 642 pietas
of timber, and weighs 22 tone. Ten esrpenters have gone
in the Hydupes to erect them. The Hydupes took out
from hence also about 20 tons of commissariat stores (or the
Land Transport Cope. Amongst tt.ir officers also are the

GREAT REVIEW AT THE CURRAGH.
DUBLIN, Sloe. 17.
A military spectacle of no ordinary interest was
witnessed on Saturday at the Curregh of Kildare, all the
troops now encamped there, to the number of over 6,000
men, having been reviewed in presence of the Lord Lieu-
tenant. An immense concourse of people was attracted to
the vicinity of the camp on the occasion, and the weather
having been exceedingly fine, and the surrounding country
very beautiful, the scene was one worth vitamin. The
following regiments were on the ground, vie. :—Tho 3rd
West York Militia, the 112th South Down Militia, the 94th
or Clare Militia, the 76th sr Armagh Militia, the 99th or
County Wexford Militia, the Limerick Militia, the North
Cork Rifles, the 3rd Battalion 60thRilles, and the 96th Regi-
ment of the line. A large body of cavalry arrived during
the morning from Newbridge, Kileollen, and Kildare, via.
—the ...depots of the god Dragoon., 3rd Dragoons, (6th
Dragoons, Bth Hussars, and 11th Humors, together with
two batteries of Royal Horse Artillery. The Lord-
Lieutenant, accompanied by Lady Fanny Howard, Lady
Dover, and the Hon. Mr. Labouctirre, arrived at Newbridge
by special train at 12 o'clock, and after the manoeuvres of
the day bad been gone through, the Viceregal party lest
entertained at a dejesassr by the staff cfileen at their
quarters. Lord Seaton, commander of the forces
in Ireland, reviewed the troops. The following particulars
of the progress of the camp are from the Freeemes Journal:
Molars Courtney and Stephens's origami contracts to
supply quarters for ten battalions of • thousand men each
is all but completed. The quarters for nine battalions are
already is the bands of the military authorities, and the one
that musics will be banded over within a week. The ori-
ginal contract of the Messrs. Hollins, of Liverpool, is com-
plete, and the additional contracts taken by this firm are in
a most forward state. Th.* churches for catholic and pro-
testant worship are progressing rapidly, and we are informed
that they will be perfected within • fortnight. The meat,
which is sow demanded in large supplies, is slaughtered in
the vicinity. The several canteens belonging to Messrs.
Duffy, Walsh, M'Doonell, and Cleary are admirably kept.
These provision depots have been lately placed under rules
well calculated to ensure the peace and security of the
entire camp. They have all to dm at seven o'clock,
which will compel the soldiers to be at their

speak from what we have seen. Everything that • soldier
requires is to be had at all of them at the ordinary prices."
The Larserick Chronicle hes the following further obser-
vations ow a subject which has excited much interest of late
in military circles: ° Notwithstanding that the utmost ex-
ertions ere being used to induce volunteering from the
militia into the line, in order to make up for the heavy
drafts from the previsional battalions that are bear.; sent on
foreign service, it is still to be regretted that very few
volunteers ere offering, and of those who do so. namely any
are fit for military service. As an instance, we may mention
that • staff °Seer from this garrisou visited • militia corps in
this district very recently, for the purpose of receiving vo-
latilities, punnet to the general order from the Horse
Geer& to that effect. Oat of the whole regiment, which it
was expected would supply at least 80 or 100 smart fellows,
he meld only preemie 20 ; and of those, when they came to be
esemised by the destor, Is were rejoined, mot as being under
stse, WI se wait tor military earths. Thus it is
memilkik that Y the mililissm% when rasing the sane pay,
applmonasts, sod Amasses as the edam of the Use, are
