number of them at 103. apiece. Considering that they
cost 30/.. or 4014 that is not an extravagant sum. In one
transaction 3,0001. was cleared in Asia Minor for animals,
most of which Were not in a fit condition to work. The
process of populating, the Valley of Baidar by mules, vice
Tartars, retired, is being carried out with vigour. Day
after day strings of the mangy, the maimed, the halt, the
blind, the farcied, the spavined, the curbe t, are to be
seen on their. way to these grassy valleys, where they are
turned loose to seek their fortune. Many of them, how-
ever, die upon the way, and never reach the place. There
is also a committee of inspection busily engaged in inspect•
iiag and weeding the Artillery. They have " cast" most of
the mules, and all the Spanish horses. The latter were
dear bargains; they cost, perhaps, all round, carriage and
all, 631. or 701. each, and the country will never get as
many shillings for them.
The French officers have receivod compensation for their
pack animals and horses. It is particularly hard on our
officers to be refused any compensation, when it is consi-
dere•i that during the terrible winter of 1831 they gene-
rously gave up their horses for the use of their regiments,
and worked them to death in the service, so that they
were put to the expense of providing themselves with
others. It was as late as February last. that officers were
again ordered to provide themselves with the full regula-
tion number of bat animals; '

The first two English regiments have left the Crimea.
'Her Majesty's 9th Foot, Colonel Bolton, and one company
of the 17th, embarked in the Resolute, and the 39th Foot
embarked in the Simoom at 11 o'clock this morning, and
sailed from Balaklavb in the course of the afternoon. The
embarkation was effected with great order and regularity,
and the men and horses were on board in 40 minutes. The
baggage had, however, been sent down the previous day,
and rather`astonished the navaloiliceri by its bulk and ex-
ceeding variety. The two regiments are in excellent health
and spirits.

FRIDAY.

Of all the painful and pitiable sights which have been
presented to me in the course of the war which is past,
there was not one which was so affecting as that of the
.Tartar Exodus and their flight out Of the Crimea. Whe-
ther they are animated, as they sty, by the dread of their
Russian 'taskmasters, or by their desire to improve their
condition, the motive must be powerful which can drive a
whole race !rem their homes. They leave those peaceful
and beautiful valleys fur ever, and flock into Balaklava
with all their goods, in the hope of obtaining the means
of escape. •
