After the disaetroue campaign of the winter of
1863, when the blundering incapacity and the cow-

hilation of the Turkish army in Amnia. these two
officers, thee en remits in Aleppo, were despatched
to Ban: Imam es Line. or brigadier, to mourn
the command of the disorganised Bashi-Beinks ; and
GUYON as general of division. to undertake the
direction of the staff. The former was at once its.

outpost duty of the army, supplied for that
purpose with some 4,000 badly snouted,
