Enclosure.

lioad-Quatters, Camp, Crimea, April 15.
Sir,—The sanitary condition of the army continues
highly satisfactory, and there has been a decrease in both
the mortality and numb,r of sick this week.

Since the furious snow storm of the 3d instant the wea-
ther has been gradually getting milder, and now nothing
conid be more delightful than it is.
This favourable change in the weather has bsen marked
by a decrease of chest affections, and a slight increase of
febrile complaints, but none of them of any great severity,
except in the Land Transport Corps, where typhoid fever
still prevails, and four oat of the fatal cases of fever which
occurred took place in the Land Transport Carps alone.
Five were from fever ;
Two from apoplexy, the direct effects of drunkenness;
Five from affections of the lungs ;
wo from chronic bowel complaints ;
One, a sudden death, from the bursting an aneurism of
the aorta ; and
One from ;he results of an injury of the head received
in a drunken brawl six weeks ago.
So that only twelve out of the sixteen are fairly attri.
butable to disease.

The ratio of admissions to strength this week has been
1•S1 per cent. ; deaths, to strength, 0.02 ditto ; sick, to
well, 3.87 ditto.

Taking. the whole force, the admissions to strength in
all the hospitals, both general and regimental, have only
been ',•19 per cent. Deaths, to strength, 0.03 per cent.
sick, to well, 5'34 ditto.—l have, &c.,
