OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.

(Prom a Supplement to the London Gazette.)

WAR DEPARTMENT, JULY 26.
Loid Panmure has this day received two despatches
and their enclosures, of which the following are copies,
addressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General Simp-
son, CoMmanding her Majesty's Forces in the East.
_ _

Before Sebastopol, July 14, 1855.
My annoni)ced to your lordship, by tele-
graph on the 11th, the death of LieutenanirColone
Vico,, of the French 4rmy, which melancholy event
took place on the afternoon of the 10th inst.
It is impossible for me to find words to express my
regret at this sad vi:ita;:ion.

Lieutenant-Colonel Vico joined the English army as
joint .Commissioner the latter end of May, 1854, and
had, up to the time of his death, never been abce►,t
from his duty for a single thy. At Varna, where
the cboltra raged, and carried off hundreds—at the
landing of the Allied armies at Old Fort—at the
Bulganac, where his colleague, Lieutenant• Colonel
de Lsgondie, was taken prisoner, and from which
time be had the sole charge of the communications
between the French and English head-quarters—at
the glorious battle of Alnia—at that of Balaklava—at
the stern and bloody fight of Inkerman—in fact, at every
place, and on every occasion, where he thought his ser-
vices could be of use—scat Lieutenant-Colonel Vico to
be found• _

-- ---
I know that the late Field Marshal Lord Raglan held
him in the highest estimation, and placed the most im-
plicit confidence in him ; and although my acquaintance
had, winparatively speaking, been but a shortone, it had
been long enough for me to appreciate the many excel-
lent cpplities with which he was endowed.
A pious Christian, a brave and gallant soldier, a sin-
gle-hearted, upright man, a kind and generous one, who
thought no personal sacrifice too great for the public
good, he has gone from us, beloved and regretted by
every Englishman who had the advantage of knowing
him and enjoying his friendship.
I have, &e.,
JAMES SIMPSON,
Lienteuant-General Commanding.
The Lord Panmure, &c., &c.

Before Sebastopol, July 14, 1855.
My Lerd,—l have the honour to transmit the nume-
rical and nominal returns of casualties in this army,
from the 9th to the 12th instant.
Captain Maunsell, of the 39th Regiment, who was
killed in the trenches on the 10th instant, was I. most
gallant and meritorious officer, and his loss is much re-
gretted.
I enclose also the return of casualties in the Naval
Thicrade on the 10th instant, the day we opened fire upon
the'Redan, considering which circumstance your Lord-
ship will rejoice to find that the list is not heavier ; the
two men who are returned as killed, and wounded dan-
gerously, respectively, received their injuries by the ac-
cidental bursting of the guns they were serving.
The weather, which had been oppressively hot since
the date of my last despatch, has since changed to a far
cooler and more agreeable temperature.

The health of the artily continues good, and their con-
fidence and cheerfulness is unabated.

There has been no change in the disposition of the
allied troops since my last despatch,—l have. &c.,
JAMES SIMPSON,
Lieutenant-General Commanding.
faThe Lord Panmure, &c.
