?lONE IN THE CRIMEA.

MAJOR•GENERAL WINDHAM ON THE OPERA-

During his visit to Norwich, Moja-General Wind-
hem made ume intmeting remarks on the spirit mani-
fested by our allies in the Crimea, and the conduct of
Martha Missies on the occasion of the assault on the
Mutton. "At Chief of the Elva," observed the gallant
▪ " and having landed a arly and marred without
In-
termkrion through the whole can psigo, I think I know the
tone, the feelings, the diseipline, sod the habits of the
French soldiers as well as any individual in the
British may. I know nathicg whitish of their
navy, bat I know that my friend, Harry Keppel,
one of the bast and kindest little fellows in the British navy
' men who served faithfully with me in the Menthes, and
was never absent on soy cousin when be thought he bed
a chosen of getting his heed knocked off with a round shot
—ltu always told me that be had no fault whataysr to flud
in his cousthoirsations with the French envy; and, there-

fore, I can fled nose. As far as regards the French army,
I really believe that they tehaved as well as any men
could possibly behave to us. (Chun.) I a not
going to say that there saver was jealousy, either
on their side or on ours ; but I say that when
we were is difficulties they would ;always come
to the Mese ; end they well knew, and honestly
acknowledged, that If they had any difficulties to en-
counter they were wry glad to me a battalion of red coats
come up to their sappert. (Cheers.) I knew all the supe-
rior oaken, many of them with considerable intimacy, and
I my say the same of the greet Marshal, who in fact to-
wards the latter sad of the war commanded the two armies,
because you must remember that, though we landed is the
Crimea with even numbere, they received large reinforce-
meats while we could receive bat few. We were palled

upon to go through the first mister with only 12.000 men to
do what it required 88,000 to perform. Through the in-
etrumentslity of our marine they got their re-agora-
meats over, and as won as they got inn enough
they sok up the ground which was occupied
by our second division, and commenced the celebrated at-
tack against the lisiakhoff. Throughout the whole ca the
war their conduct was such, that I must my I never served
with a body of men with whom I wee more delighted.
(Cheers.) I well remember when it became a question that
the Memelca stould be raptured—that was upon the Bth of
Jane, 1865, and it was the first real advance that we made
towards the town, because, previously to the Bth of June,we
were in reality the besieged pony, end not the besiegers. I
very well remember It Deng reported to me that Marshal
Palladia celled a alumni of war, and told his own officers
that he came there to ask their °pintos', bat not to
follow them. When that distingushod oilier heard
all that they had got to my, sad may of them said a gnat
deal against an attack upon the Marnelon, he mind our
Emma of Enfants, 81, Harry Jones, for his opinion. Sir
Harry Jones's reply was simply this—" Lord Raglan orders
me to my that when los are nady to attack the Memnon
be is ready to attack the Claarries." The answer of Gene-
ral Fainter to that war'. There, gentlemen, that English
of lcer mike what I tall talking." I cannot give it you in
my other way than is the original Traub—. Voila ea Teel
rappelk parlor.; I think, thenfae, that we may fekly
amend that he was not inclined to prop up hie anus 1
against ours. At the last of all he certainly &-
aided to attack the fawn at all placer. I believe
that I tell you the truth when 1 say that one
week before the last attack upon the Stadia there
was so (Mendota on the pert of either French or Beg-
lie's to attack the Brian. They, however, changed
their °pillions, and decided to make the attack. Let It be
fairly mentioned to yen all, gentlemen, that In that attack
we met with ti 'coy the came result Ma the French did against
other seethe of similar construction. I have sever heard
