Take later cams. In the expedition to AffenniMan, the

Bible to move frog Hankie's to tlie comp. He had re-
sorted a letter from the gentleman who had be.. sent out
sea ciostaissioner to inquire into the riedition of the hos-
pitals at Conistinticople and Bat Alava. The letter
states—" The government ties pent plenty of every-
thing. You have asint it 3,000 nil -s ; La the distance is
three thousand sod sir ; end the 10.1.44 are more difficult
than the three (housed." Ile be:ieved that was • true
mpresestation of the state of things. He would be asked
what was the cause of such a state of things. Ia discussing
that gut-Aloe great allowances ought to are made for the
difficulties that had to be encountered there, and for the
difficulty they experienced in obtaining information from
such a distance. One thiog he knew, 'het before the army
left Varna they had collee:ed over five thousand animals ;
sines then, all these, and the greater DODO,' of the cavalry
horses, end many of those of the artillery, bad perished from
exposure and want of food at a time when forego in plenty
was in the harbour:ef Bileklave. He mutt read as extract
from a certain document :—" Of the air regiments of the
light cavalry division one thousand into ate dismounted,
and the horses of seven hundred M ore MS unservice-
able. The baggage homes are oil Merl ; the artillery horses
an scarcely drag the guns ; and one-third of the spare
ammunition has been given tip for want of means of trans-
port." Would not any one imagine th.t the letter was
describing the condign' of the army before Sebastopol ? The
very numbers of the penitent arm were the same. Bat
that letter was not written by Lod Wigton, describing the
condition of hie potent army, but it sis written in 1809,
describing Wellieeton's mu after the battle of Talavera.
It was said that trey had the mummol of the ass, end that,
therefsre, it ought to be as easy to supply the
men before Sebastopol as if they were at Woolwich. Bat
they should recollect that if they had the command of the
Ms, they were at the mese, of Hon who ruled the storm..
There wee another difficulty : they had almost exhausted the
Mass of onveying by steam the articles noceismy for the
