there was one thing he must tell them, as the Gallant
Admiral had adverted to it. When he landed in Djouri
Bay he found himself surrounded by innumerable diffi-
culties—in an inaccessible country, with deep gorges,
high mountains, and a powerful army to contend with.
—(Hear.) - To meet all those difficulties they had but a
small force, but from the energies displayed by the ma-
rine officers and by the Turkish troops, he found himself
in a state to combat all the difficulties opposed to them,
and he was happy to say that, during the short cam-
paign there of one month, the services of the 'marines, of
the Turkish and of the Austrian troops, overcame diffi-
culties greater than he believed had ever been overcome
before, and were the greatest feats of the service since
1784.—(Loud cheers.) The Gallant Admiral was good
enough to allude to his having seen some land service in
Portugal in the time of the illustrious Duke of Welling-
ton. Ho well remembered, in his boyish days, being at
the battle of Busaco, when the Gallant Duke commanded
a newly-levied army, but then his troops were British.—
(Hear.) They had now been tried before them, and it
must have been a most anxious time for the Duke. He
well remembered the British troops were attacked on one
side and the Portuguese on the other, and he saw that
illustrious General near a particular point watching the
effects of this terrible attack on his left and right. He
saw the gallant resistance of the forces commanded by Sir
'rhos. Picton, supported by his Hon. Friend near him, Sir
Hercules Pakenham, and a more brilliant attack no man
ever saw, and it was not till then that he saw what British
troops and officers could do against a large and superior
French army.—(Hear.) That lesson he had endeavoured
never to forget.—(Loud cheers.) It was then he ac-
quired all his knowledge of military affairs, though, as a
naval officer, it was presumption in him to say he knew
anything at all of them. If, however, he knew anything
at all, that knowledge he had acquired under the Duke
of Wellington.—(Loud cheering.) He would not detain
them longer, except to say one word on the discipline of
the navy.—(Hear, hear.) The Mediterranean fleet,
commanded as it was—(Hear, hear)—and he had always
fought against the unmanned state in which it was kept

that it should in a few hours have silenced the forts at
Acre, which it took Napoleon more than once to try to
do, and in which he never succeeded.—(Loud cheers.)
He could not refer without deep regret to the loss of
Colonel "Walker, commanding the Marines. He was a
most gallant officer, who, had he lived, would have
led the marines on in the most conspicuous manner
to his own and their glory, and to the honour of the
nation.—(Loud cheering.) Before he sat down he
must not forget Admiral Walker, who, though a young
officer, was in command of the Turkish fleet. He be

lieved. there was no officer who had served in the
Syrian war who would not allow that Admiral
Walker had displayed great zeal, energy, and integrity,
and had brought the Turkish fleet into a state of highly-
improved discipline.—(hear.) He was satisfied if that
gallant officer remained in that post some short time
longer, he would discipline that fleet so as to enable it to
come forwardl on some future day to second the fleets of
Great Britain, the natural ally. of Turkey, in repressing
any foreign Power who should attempt to usurp the do-
minion of the seas, but who, he would venture to pre-
dict, would never succeed in their attempt, for so long
as British seamen and British officers continued to be
what they were, and the British nation stood by them in
the way it did, they were enabled to defy the whole
world.—(Tremendous cheering.)
The health of Major Morrison and the Officers of her
Majesty's Royal Marines who had served in the Syrian
expedition, was then given with great applause, and at
the hour when our express left there still remained seve-
ral local toasts to propose.
The speech of Sir C. Napier was, unfortunate], for the
convenience of our reporters, not delivered till a late
hour, ten o'clock, but it is right to add, after what we
have previously stated, that it appeared to give great sa-
tisfaction to all parties.
