As t• the sera of the 40,000 men from Baidar to
Aloashta, I believe knight be effected withoat
or sines the army would be protested by mountains,
ell bet impassable, and the Russians would be at a
distance. Oar army might be accompanied through-
out almost the whole length of the meat road by
steamers, to take up the sick.•
" If, or the contrary, a diversion from E•patoria
were proposed, my opinion is that nothing would be
more deageroue, nothing more opposed to the rules of
war and the misseele of prudence. By operating
from Buparoria you would place yowled in an
unhealthy region, spelt and almost digitate of
water, a territory where the Russian cavalry which
is very numerous, would have every chance of em-
cees ; you would undertake a march of six leagues
before an enemy, who might opine either from the
Perth or the south, fall on your columns, and cons
pletely cut off you retreat. No natural obstacle
offers itself to !rapport your wings. Tomer& from Baps-
tare to Simpheropol you must drag after you all the
victuals and all the munitions of the troops, for, when
ewe the army bad left Bap•tora, the 15,000 Ane-
mias. who caroused tF to-lay, and who are for the
most part cavalry, would harms its rear, and hinder
the arrival of all kinds sF *savoys. If ft were
opposed at Einspheropol, sad if the Russian
army during this time, should, by a change of front,
place itself a chisel on the read which it has tra-
versed, your army would be either annihilated or
famished. Besides, it is an absolute principle that
a Bank marsh le only possible when distant from the
enemy, sad protected by the natural features of the
eountry.
"An army operating from Rapatorio or Simphe-
ropol would have neither line of operations, nor se-
cure flanking, ow retreat, am favourable field of
battle, nor IDIOM d proclaiming itself. In addition
to which, in place of being compact, composed of
soldiers of the sum nation, commanded by a single
chief, it would be formed in • great measure of
Turks; and as these must be allied with other troops,
there would be neither: unity, security, nor absolute
confidence.
"It, instead of marchiag on Simpheropol, the army
from Bapatoria should march direct on Sebastopol, it
would have to re-soesmeees ander unfavourable cir-
cumstances the oampaiga which we began when we
disembarked in the Crimea. It must carry the for-
midable maims of the Alma, the Katcha, and the
&lbw. This enterprise Is out of the question, for it
would be disastrous. Hence the necessity of leaving
at Bupatoria only that number of Turks deemed in-
dismissible for the defence of the place.
"Bach is the plan which I should execute at the
bead of the brave troops which you have hitherto
commanded ; and it is with the profoundest grief
I that the most serious interests command my °op-
tioned proems in Europe.
