GALLIPOLI.

The Monitenr, in a letter from Gallipoli, of the
sth, after mentioning the return of General Bos-
quet, says :—" The General returned from Schumla
to Gallipoli by Kasan, Selimno, Jamboli, and Ad-
rianople. The officers of his staff took plans of all
the itinerary from Varna to Airianople, by Schumla,
of which Colonel Desaint has recently executed the
prolongation as far as Gallipoli. This valuable
work is accompanied by descriptive notes. The
fortifications of the peninsula of Gallipoli advance
rapidly ; the 10 battalions of the first division are
employed on them, and the English division work
at the part attributed to them on the left of the

lines. 'The number of sick among all the troops
already landed only amounts to 350, several of
whom were left in au hospital at the Dardanelles,
in which establishment there are 600 beds. The
health of the army is in every respect satisfactory."
Another letter from Gallipoli says that drunken-
ness continues to be the great evil of the allied
army. In one company of the 93d Regiment up-
wards of 20 men were brought up on one morning
at the camp to answer for this offence. A huge
gaunt Highlander, who had been fraternising
with some Zouaves, presented a ludicrous appear-
ance on coming up before his officers. He had,
in the height of his convivial good fellowship, ex-
changed the greater portion of his dress with an
African soldier, and when morning brought recol-
lection he must have been rather horrified to find
himself in a fez cap, a blue jacket embroidered
with red worsted, a bright blue sash round his
' waist, and enormous Dutch-built scarlet pantaloons
flapping aboat his legs. He had forgotten the yel-
low leather greaves, and when he was ordered up
lie displayed the plaid hose of his regiment beneath
the gay nether garment of the French soldier.
What became of the corresponding Zouave, who
must have made rather a sensation among his coin-
rades when lie appeared before them in kilt and
coatee, has not yet been satisfactorily ascertained ;
but the woe-begone, sheepish, and utterly prostrate
look of the Highlander, as he presented himself in
his borrowed wardrobe, can never be forgotten by
those who witnessed it. The " fraternising" is so
vigorous and cordial that it is really rather a
nuisance to commanding officers of regiments.
