OMAR PACHA AND GENERAL WILLIAMS

Lieutenant Colonel Simmons, of tine Royal Engineers,
late commissioner to Omar Pacha's a:my, writes to The
Timed, complaining of a passage in a letter of Sir W.
Williams, written at Kars, and printed in Col. Lake's
hook. The following is the passage :—" Rumours of the
operations of Omar Pacha also reached us, and I hope he
is at least acting like a brave and resolute man ; if he
does not, I will mark him with my ink, in spite of his
great reputation. Batoum is but four days from Kars,
and six for the march of troops, but if he operates man-
fully in any direction I shall be content." Colonel
Simmons says that " No road is in existence by which
troops can march in ' six' or more days from Batoum to
Kars. The distance is indeed no more than 105 miles as
the crow flies, and Omar Pacha had reason to believe that
there was a mule track or rather mountaineer's path, but he
knew that it had to cross a chain of mountains near 10,000
feet in height, and, at the season to which his expedition
had been delayed, covered with snow, and through the
gorges of which, as he was informed, not even a mule
could carry his load with any safety. This route has
I since been explored by a British officer, whose report,
it i
s said, fully confirms the opinion of Omar Paella
and those whose advice was taken on the subject of
his Asiatic expedition, which, allow me to add, he
undertook ' like a brave and resolute man,' undeterred
by the obstacles and delays thrown in his way, and
removed in great measure by his zeal and energy, and
hoping against hope to rescue his Sovereign's forces
from the fatal position in which they were placed by
the strategy of others. Omar Paella's opinion,
however, be it right or wrong, was based upon the
best information accessible to him, and upon which
being personally unacquainted with the country,. he
could place reliance. If any authentic or positive
information had been received from General Williams
with respect to the route by Batoum, it would have
immediately set at rest the much-debated question as
to the point from which the relief of Kars should be
attempted ; but it appears his knowledge of this route
must have been derived subsequently to the com-
mencement of the blockade of Kars, for on the 15th
of August, 1855 (p. 170 in Colonal Lake's book), after
stating that an army could march from Redoubt Kaleh
to Tiflis, he expresses a hope that a demonstration will
be made in his favour in that direction. I make no
reference to their allusions to Omar Pacha in the
published letters of Sir W. Williams. They are
principally rumours brought into a blockaded camp by
the country people, which official despatches since
published have shown to be false, although I cannot
help thinking that their reproduction and publication
cannot fail to misdirect the judgment of the public,
which is not thoroughly conversant with all the facts."
