MITTEE (THIS DAY.)

epi,kyalo wiii44 1.1.4 o=4 WOO 4 00,
Crimea was 1,250 men ; but when he left there %cepa
only 300 fit for service. He was not aware of the means
by which the wounded were removed after the Bala-
klava. charge ; indeed, he never heard where the missing
men were until the surgeons repor'zecl that they were on
board ship. lie had no idea how the surgeons got them
there. Tne sick, however, were always removed by the
ambulance carts.

The inquiry was resumed this morning at the usual
hour.

There was, as usual, quite a crush for the occupation
of the space assigned to the public.
The first witness called Uai Colonel Kinlock.
In reply to Mr. Drummond, he stated that he had
suggested to Lord Cardigan and Lord Raglan that mules
might be advantageously purchased in Spain for the use
of the army. lie was told that the plan was very
good, but very expensive. That was in March.
Three months afterwards, however, he was sent
for by the Treasury, and was ordered to proceed
to Spain for the purpose of collecting mules;
and he succeeded in purchasing 500 at 241. 10s. each.
The estimat a he had previously given to the Treasury
nas 301. each. The first 300 of them were embarked at
Barcelona, 14 days after they were bought ; the otheri,
remained there from September until the middle of De-
cember. He could not state at what cost they were
maintained during that period, as the commissariat kept
the accounts.

Mr. Ellice—How many mules could you have
obtained I
Witness—As many as I cLose.
By Mr. Layatd—lie superintended the embarkation
of the mules, and he believed the delay in tke transport
arose from defects in the service. They bad a goad
supply of forage on the voyage.
Major-General the Earl of Cardigan was next called
upon fur examination.
In reply to the chairman, ha stated that be com-
manded the Light Cavalry Brigade, and joined them at
Scutari in May last. He arrived after two portions of
his regiments ha .l come, but they had not all arrived.
They went from thence to Varna about the 3d June ;
but there was no particular provision made there for the
reception of the troops. He tholight there were great
defects in the system of disembarking cavalry—it ought
to be improved. The weather was fine when they were
there. Forage had arrived for the horses. They encamped
outside the town, but removed from there in a few days.
We went to Devna. Whilst there sickness broke out
amongst the troops, but the brigade he commanded was
most fortunate in this respect, and did not suffer mate-

A letter received from ,Varis this morning contains the
following intere,iting particulars idea is becom-
ing more geneial among political men here that
the Emperor of Austria is disposed to think more
favourably than before of the feasibility of peace
without the terrible alternative of the destruc-
tion of Sebastopol, which can hardly be demanded
of the Russians themselves, and which, after so long
and so painful a siege, the Allied armies have failed
of effecting. It is said that the Emperor of Austria
does not, on reflection, think that the opening of the
Danube, the freedom of the navigation of the Black
Sea, and the surrender on the part of Russia of the ex-
clusive protection of the Danubian provinces, are con-
cessions of small value ; and that, as an equivalent
for the integrity of Sebastopol, the liberty to the
maritime Powers to erect fortresses, or military pests
on the southern coast of the Euxine on points such as
Batouin, Trebizond, or Sinope, would be a sufficient ,
guarantee for the original übject,; of the war, the
independence and integrity of the Ottoman, Em-
pire, and again for the security of our Indian
possessions. Notwithstanding the tone of the late
Hussein manifesto, the Emperor Francis Joseph
believes that the Czar would accept such conditions,
and is anxious to impress upon England that they
ought to be taken into serious consideration. There
era persons anxious to propagate the idea that
England will not be regardless of such arguments, and
that she will not fail to impress her powerful Ally with
her own ultimate convictions. But the same idea of the
sufficiency of such an arrangement is not attributed to the
Emperor of the French, who, we are told, is likely to
be the great, if not the only obstacle to peace, and whose
equanimity has been disturbed by the turn which
matters are said to have taken at Vienna. The
Emperor's journey to the Crimea, which has as- '
sumed so many phases, is also said to be postponed
in consequence of the views entertained at Vienna,
and the Emperor of Austria is said once more to
have urged the postponement, if not the abandon-
ment of it, with as much persistence as before—at least
until something decisive shall have been resolved by the
statesmen who compose the Conference. In confirmation
of the effect of the news from Vienna, the Emperor is
described as uncertain about fixing the date of his depai •
tore ; and great stress was laid on the counter order
given to the Guides a few days ago. That counter
order appears, however, to have been owing only to
matters of detail in the corps itself, and had no refer-
sum- to their departure. The Emperor spoke of his jour-
neys as certain at the dinner given on Sunday to the
officers whose regiments he had reviewed, and- the
necessaries for encampment ;have been distributed to
the officcirs of the household. It must be a powerful
cause indeed which would oblige him to give up this
1013(v-cherished project, and, notwithstanding all that has
been said, I :still doubt whether that cause has been as
yet found.

Mr. Layard—llow were .the supplies of medical

rially.
Chairman—What was the encampment at Devna ?
The Earl of Cardigan—lt was very good, and very
near some water. There were then four regiments of
cavalry and some of horse ni tillery—in all about 1,200
men. They had plenty of room for all purposes. Ile
could not attribute the sickness of the men from crowding.
Chairman—Was there any difference in the position
of your men when sickness broke out from what it was
before ?

Lord Cardigan replied that he bad heard complaints
in Bulgaria—but none in the Crimea in this particular.
There was a veterinary surgeon to each regiment. He
did not think the horses suffered from Rant of shoeg, for
they did not wear out so rapidly as on hard roads.

Toe Earl of Cardigan—None whatever. Ho lost 50 or
60 men in a very short time. His men were well bup-
plied with fresh meat, and bread, and biscuits. The
bread was at first very bad; but he complained to head-
quarters, and it improved. The brigade afterwards re-
turned to Varna for embarkation for the Crimea; and
for the time encamped on favourable ground. It was
said to be a healthy spot, but he feared not, as there
were reports that the proximity of the lake was preju-
dicial. The embarkation wa3 conducted with facility,
and without accident, by means of rafts. On arriving in
the Crimea the disembarkation was also well conducted,
and in man-ot war boat..

Chair►nan—l believe the weather was very bad when

you arrived ?
Earl of Cardigan—Yes, it was. The directions given
to the men, however, were to go on shore without
their tents. lie was sent by order of Lord Raglan
to cut off an advance of Russian cavalry supposed to be
proceeding from Odessa, but he heard nothing of them,
and returned to the camp very late, and the men had to
bivouack in the open air. They arrived at Balaklava on
the 26th September. After the battle of the Alma they
remained on the ground two days, tO bury the
dead, and they then marched onwards. We lost
no men at Alma ; they were disposed -to fire, but were
not called into action. All the forage that could be pro-
cured was provided for his brigade in the Crimea at first,
but after the action at Bala(lava the supply was by no
means so good. Just previously to Inkerman great
want of forag e existed. He attributed this to the great
difficulties which had to be encountered in bringing it
up from Batak lava. 400 horses had to be shot after the
charge at Bals klava, and 360 were killed in that action.
At first there was no great sickness amongst the men,
but after Noire tuber they suffered greatly.
Chairman- --1 tow were they supplied with provisions ?
Earl of Cardigan—Up to the time he left the Crimea
in December h. had heard of no complaints in this re-
spect. They hud hospital tents attached to the brigade,
but they were not very well adapted to the purpose. The
Horses suffered, during November, very much from ex-
posure. As tee rnedical attendance, so far as his brigade
was concerned ;be never heard of a deficiency. There
were t coui isaries attached to the brigade ; and
they exerted tilt ux .selves to the utmost, and discharged
their duties very .efficiently. When he left the clothing
of the men was nt corning very ragged and worn out.
No winter cloth ing had arrived. Some persons
had been sent -0 Constantinople in November to
obtain winter *nothing for his men, but when he
arrived there he round them still there; not having suc-
ceeded in acc)nip liithing the object of their mission. He
believed it was at; :first supposed that the troops would

very bad.
The Chairman- —.AI that time had the men a change
of clothing ?
The Earl of C ardigan—The men landed in patrol
order ; that was filth a blanket and a spare shirt, and
were ordered to h aye their valiqes behind. Those who
subsequently obta kneel the 'attar were better off than
those who were no Lso fortunate. The valises were left
behind to relieve tl le horses of the weight. The horses,
however, were in ( mcellent condition, and the weight of
the valises had be en diminished, many articles having

TLIZ 134.51,3 OF THE CONVENTION BE-
T w_Eiv PRANCE AND PRUSSIA.

The Hamburg Wetes gives the following under
date of Vienna, Bth, as the bases of the Convention
now in course of negotiation between Prussia and
France :

"Ist. Prussia shall send a special delegate to the
Conferences at Vienna. 2d. She shall pledge herself to
employ coercive measures against Russia in case the
shall reject the interpretation of the four points as una-
nimously accepted by the other powers. In case Prussia
shall be in the minority in a vote, she reserves to herself
the complete liberty of her resolutions ; she would not,
however, be averse to coming to an ulterior understand-
ing with Austria, and would be even disposed to even-
tually protect the frontier countries of Austria,"

Lord Cardigan- —3ly opinion is that it would not.
The condition of tl le men as t 3 boots and shoes when he
left was very ba I i.. a&ed.

By .General Pee f--It was not until after the battle
of Inkernian that it was generally understood that
the army was tc. winter in the Crimea. He
should. say it weeel LI scarcely be possible for horses
to exist throughout. a Crimean winter without a proper
supply of hay forages.
In :reply to Mr. Mlice, his lordship said he had no-
ticed • the filthy condition of the town and harbour of
Bala.? ;lava ; and stated that he understood the Turks
were c :ailed upon to clean the former, but that there was
some objection to their having been so employed.
They were afterwards offered pay for their labour, but
w eiinag any effect. No attempt whilst he
