GENERAL ORDER.

Soldiers,----Our former General-in-Chief has made
known to you the will of the Emperor, who at the Gene-
ral's request has placed me at the head of the army of
the East. In receiving from the Emperor the command
of this army so long exercised by such noble hands, I
feel certain that I express the sentiments of all of us,
when I proclaim that General Canrobert carries with
him all our regrets and all our gratitude.
To the brilliant souvenirs of Alma and of Inkerman he
has added the merit, greater still perhaps, of having dur-
ing a formidable winter campaign, preserved for our
country and our sovereign one of the finest armies that
France ever had. You owe it to him that you are
now in a position to bring the struggle to an issue
( engager a fond la lutte) and to triumph.
If, as I feel certain it will, success should crown our
efforts, you will not fail to pronounce his namA in your
songs of victory. He has resolved to remain in our
ranks, and although he might have had a higher com-
mand he wished but one thing, and that was to put him-
self at the head of his old division. I have deferred to
the entreaties, the inflexible desires, of him who was
but yesterday our chief, and who will ever-be my friend.
Soldiers, I have the fullest confidence in you. After
so many trials, so many generous efforts, nothing can be
too much for your courage. You all know what the
Emperor and the country expect from you. Be what you
have hitherto been, and thanks to your energy, and to
the assistance of our intrepid allies and the brave sailors
of our squadrons, we shall conquer, with the help of
God. PELISSIER.
Head-quarters before Sebastopol, May 19, 1855.
General Canrobert's adieu to the army has been
already published. The following is the order of
the day issued by him on resuming the command
of the Ist division :
SECOND CORPS.—FIRST DIVISIONAL ORDER.
Comrades of the First Division,—You have given me
under circumstxices the most arduous and the most
glorious so many proofs of devotedness, you have in-
spired me with so great confidence that while volun.
tarily and out of a sense of duty to my country, resign.
ing the command in chief of an ;truly of 130,000 men, I
desired above all things the honour of again becoming
your immediate chief, and fighting at your head against
the enemies of France and of the Emperor.
CANROBERT,
General of Division, Aide-de-Camp to the Emperor,
commanding the Ist Division of Infantry.
Before Sebastopol, May 22.

Seven or eight clerks in the French telegraph offices
have been dismissed lately, in consequence, as it is re-
ported, of their having sold news.
The funeral of Marshal Harispe has just taken place
at Lacarre, near Bayonne, in the midst of anj immense
concourse of the inhabitants of the surrounding country,
who had flocked in, to bid a last adieu to him whom they
were accustomed to call "Le Boi des Basques." The
whole of the authorities of the arrondissement, the prin-
cipal landowners of the country round, and about a score
of ecclesiastics, formed the cortege in attendance on the
hearse. After the mass had been performed, and the
coffin was lowered into the grave, M. Larrabure, ex-re-
presentative, and General Poinsignon delivered addresses
in honour of the deceased, and the ceremony terminated.
