Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL, on receiving the diploma, said
—My Lord Provost, ladies, and gentlemen, on arrivirig
to-day'in my netive city, after an absence of upwaide of
half a century, it has become my lot to receive this civic
honour; and it, is also intended to confer another honour
of a military kind. (Cheers.) These both coining from
my townsmen, it is bard to say which I value most
highly; I can say that I shall always be ready to draw
the sword, about to be presented to me, in defence of
my freedom. (Great applause) I shall always value as
I ought to do, highly and gratefully, the manner of my
reception to riay, and the great honour conferred, an
about to be conferred on ins. The rec impel ce which I
de-ire to give you is, in every possible way to do my
duty to my country. Sir Colin sat down amid tre-
mendoue cheering.
Sir A. ALTSON, amid much applause, rose and said—
Sir Ceiin Campbell. you have just received from the
Lord Provost awl Magistrates of this city the highest
honour which they have it in their power to bestow. It
is now my honoured privilege to present to you a testi-
monial of another description—a sword, the gift of six
thousand of your grateful countrymen, in token of admi-
ration of your distinguished services and respect for your
manly character. (Applause.) 'Were a testitnonial of
this description to be prized chiefly for its intrinsic value,
one of fir greater cost would, ou this cccasion, have
been subscribed for in an hour in the Royal Exchange
in this city ; but the contributions were purposely made
almost nominal, in order to indicate, by their amount,
the extent of the circle which those feelings pervaded ;
and never, I feel assured, were these feelitige more
universal than in Scotland on the present occasion,
and never were they more richly deserved. (Great
applause,) Such and so varied, General, have been
Your exploits, that the victories of Wellington, many
and splendid as they were, form but an episode in
Four glorious career. (Cheers.) From the time when
the British armies landed in Spain in 1808, under their
renowned leader; to that when the combined standards
of France an t England waved over the ruins of Sebes-
tope', you have borne a part in nearly all the triumphs
which have immortalised their arms. (Renewed cheers.)
You shared as a young officer in the glorious charge
which, at Vimiera, first taught the legions of Napoleon
the prowess of the British arms ; you underwent the
banishing of the Corunna retreat, and partook of the
mournful triumph which, at its close, redeemed their
character. To enumerate the many fields of fame in
which your courage and prowess have been subsequently
proved, would be to receunt the long series of Welling-
ton's victories. Fortune gave you an opportunity, in
your changeful career, of evincing all the virtues of a
soldier ; for if, in the defence of Tariffs, you proved
how the fiercest attack c,rt be shattered by the steadiness
of British grenadiere, in leading the forlorn hope at St.
Sebastian anti rderwed that even the strongest ramparts
oan to carried by their impetuous assault. The beta sof
Barro.aa and Vitto-ia; and the passage of the Belaesoa
have subsequently cellos forth your military virtues in the
field ; and you th. re learned, under your immortal leader,
'he arts of strategy and war in its highest department,
which you sub equently anolied with such decisive effect
in the fields of A=id When Wellington sheathed his
victor ieue sword, and anp!ied to peece those talents which
had essined for big country such renown in war, you
did nit close your military carp-er. You sought in the
West and Erst those Odds which were no longer to ho
found in Europe, and then the soldier of Wellington
proved himself worthy of his immortal master. The
brief hut bloody campaign in America iu 1814 witnessed
your military talent, as if to leave pe pert of the world
which could not hear testimony to it ; but the wars in
the East presented a field more worthy of your talents
and experience. At the head of the 98th Regiment you
did good service in the struggle in ("bins, and bore a
part in those decisive operations near Nankin, which at
once prostrated the s'rength of an empire wielding the
resources of 350 millions of men. (Cheers.) You shared
in the severest battles in the Punjaub in 1849—stemmed
the tide of disaster at Ramnuger and Chi lilnwalliah,
and swelled the flood of victory in the decisive triumph
at Geejerat. To recount your many and varied exploits
since that time in India, terminating with the route of
Iskalsote, when with 3,000 men you defeated 8,000,
would exceed the limits prescribed for this cccasion.
I hasten to the last and moot glorious pert of your mili
tery career, when at the head of the Highland Brigade
you were despatched to sustain the ancient military ho-
nour ofyour country in thearcluous conflict in the Crimea.
You there found a field worthy of :vont. renown. You
were there to eonfr int the best troops of continental
Europe, to fight side by side with the victors of Aus-
terlitz, and to measure swords with the conquerors
of Leipsic. (Hear.) But If the crisis was perilous, you
proved yourself equal to it. If the clanger was great,
great also was the glory won, great the triumph
achieved. It was your moral resolution which, at the
decisive moment, br eight forward the Highland Brigade,
along with the Guards, to the attack of the key of the
enemies position in the Alma ; it was your undaunted
personal courage which led you at their head into the
midst of the enemies' tirailleure, and, though your horse
was shot dead under you, enabled you to plant the Brit-
ish standard on the blood-stained Russian entrench-
mento. (Great applause.) Military historians of all
countries concur in ascribing to that splendid attack the
glorious victory which eventually followed it, fraught,
as the event proved, after an arduous struggle, with the
ultimate fate of the war. At Balaklava you performed
the feat, so rare in war, of defeating the charge of a
powerful body of Russian horse by the 93d Regiment in
line. Nor was your confidence in the brave men you
commanded misplaced on that occa-ion • for I have it
from the best authority, that such was the precision of
their fire that scarcely a Muscovite horse was un-
weunded after their discharge. The fame now ac-
quired for yourself and the Highlanders whom you com-
manded, and whom Pelissier has described as " the
finest and most splendid troops in the world," led to
their being intrusted during the winter and spring which
followed with the post of honour, that of defending the
heights around Balaklava—th-e vital quarter most ex-
posed to attack from the immensely superior force of
the enemy, which severed the armies' communications
—the point where the thunder-cloud which had so long
hung over the Tchernaya at last broke, and where de-
feat would have been ruin to the whole army. It was
to the skill
ou with which you fortified, arrd the vigilance
with which y guarded, that important point, as well
as the heroic valour of the English troops, that the
failure of the well-conceived combined attack, of which
the battle of Inkerman was a part, is to be ascribed.
(Cheers.) During the terrible winter which followed,
when the strife with man had ceased but that with the
elements began, your administrative powers shone forth
with the highest lustre, and there is not a soldier in
your division who will not recount how their beloved
commander was to be seen, regardless alike of the floods
of autumn and the snows of winter, early and late, in-
defatigably engaged in providing for the soldiers' comfort,
and assuaging the soldiers' sufferings. We have heard
much of administrativeneglectin other servicegand other
departments, but no one has beard a whisper of such com-
plaints in the Highland Division. The result was, that
that division was so preserved that it obtained also the
post of honour in the decisive events which followed, fir
they were brought up to the trenches during the latter
months of thesiege, when the danger had become greatest,
and hundreds perished every night in the deadly strife in
the trenches, and to them was entrusted in both as•
saults of the 18th of June and Bth September the peril
ous duty of maintaining the work when carried—the
duty, it is well known, in all Oriental wars, of most
difficulty and danger, as was proved too dearly in tie,
storming both of the Malakhoff and the Redan. And
when the decisive moment arrived—when the fate of
the war quivered in the balance—when 700 noble Eng
lishmen lay dead in the bloody ditches of that formid
able fortress, it was to the Highland division that all
eyes were turned to renew the assault, and with
Highland bayonets that the front trenches were lined,
to run up the ensanguined slope with the first dawn
of day. (Cheers.) What the result of that moult would
