" Sir,—Since I had the honour to address you on the
17th inst., to offer you my sincere condolence on the
affliction which had fallen upon you in the loss of your
gallant son at the close of the siege of Silistria, I have
received a letter from the Duke of Newcastle, transmit-
ting a despatch from Lord Raglan, with an enclosure
from his Highness Omer Pacha, adverting in terms of
high eulogium to the brilliant services and lamented
death of Captain Butler, and, his Grace expressing an
opinion that your family may derive some consolation
from being put in possession of extracts from those let-
ters, T have the honour to transmit the accompanying
extracts, which I am willing to hope may afford some
gratification to yourself and family in the midst of your
bereavement.

"I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your most obedient humble servant,

" fie brought also the painful intelligence of the death
of Captain Butler, who had been supposed to have re-
ceived only a slight wound, which, however, proved so
serious that he sank under his sufferings one or two days
before the siege was raised by the Russians.
" This officer bad so greatly distinguished himself, and
had, in all he had done, shown so much prudence,
courage, and ability, that his death cannot be too deeply
lamented."

" I beg to enclose the copy of a further despatch from
Omer Pasha of the Ist instant, in which your grace will
see with satisfaction that the services of the late Capt.
Butler, as well as those of Lieutenant Nasmyth and
Lieutenant Ballard, of the East India Company's army,
the last of whom, though late in Silistria, exerted him-
self most ably and gallantly in aid of the defence, are
fully recognised and appreciated by his highness."

EXTRACT FROM A LETTER FROM OmEr. PASHA TO
GENERAL LORD RAGLAN, DATED STIUMLA, JULY 1,

1851.

"Parini les braves qui ont prix part i► la defense glo-
rieuse de Silistrie se trouvaient deux officiers Anglai•,
dont je ne dois pas oublier les noms. Le jeune Capi-
taine Butler, arrive pendant l'hiver avec M. Nasmytli
au quartier•general de Chumla, etait it Silistrie au mo-
ment ou les Russes commencaient l'attique contre la
place. Tousles deux pouvaient se retirer, mais, la voix
de I'honnour parlant haut chez eux, ils prerererent de
rester, dans ridee d'etre utile dans la lutte qui se pr.&
parait. Leur exemple, leur conseil, ont puissamment
contribue la conservation des forts attaqu6s ;
malbeureusement, M. Butler, blesss d'une bane au front,
a trouves la une mort glorieuse ; mais sa niernoire ne
pfrira pas dans l'arrnee Ottomane."
