execution. An advance was now made up to within
1,200 yards of the camp, at which point the brigade
halted. The Queen's again threw forward two

companies of skirmishers, but beingunable to silence
the guns from the camp they were soon withdrawn.
The men were then ordered to lie down, and the
commanders sent to the town for instructions as to
whether the camp should be stormed or the troops
return. Sir H. Grant and Gen. Montauban went to
the front, and decided that, as they had no cavalry,
and had merely intended to push forward a recon-
naissance which had answered its object and had
drawn the enemy, it would be better to retire with
the troops at once. This was done, and the Tartars
did not attempt to folio ,v up the allies. Just as the
troops were withdrawn, two 24-pounder howitzers
of Desborough's battery came up at a gallop. They
received their orders an hour before, and the horses
had only been landed on the previous night. Never-
theless, they turned out as though they had been
stabled on Woolwich-common instead of having
passed the night in a muddy bivouac at Peh-tang,
and the easy way in which the guns were moved
along the filthy causeway excited universal admira-
tion. We had three men slightly wounded in this
little affair, all contusions from gingal balls, of
little or no consequence. Major Greathead, also,
was hit in the lower part of the thigh with a spent
ball, but the blow was not worse than from a cricket
ball, and he was about next day. Major Anson's
horse had a narrow escape, a ball passing between
his legs, fortunately without touching him. The
French had six men and one officer wounded.
This reconnaissance has been attended with most
important results. It proves that the causeway ends
some four miles hence, and that the ground is prac-
ticable for cavalry. Where 5,000 Tartars can
manoeuvre there must be room for our King's Dra-
goon Guards, for Probyn, and for Fane, and the
presence of such a number of horses affords conclu-
sive evidence that water must be pretty abundant.
Just behind .the Tartar camp the country seems
under cultivation, and not far in their rear we can
see the Peiho, which makes a sharp curve at a place
called Sinho. A few days' dry weather, and guns
could manoeuvre over the greater part of the ground,
which the artillery pronounce eminently suited for
the Armstrong shell. The enemy is very different
from the wretched rabble hitherto opposed to us in
the South. These Tartars seem brave, resolute
men, well commanded, well disciplined, and well
mounted on strong active galloways. They moved
in gocd order. Their supports came up rapidly,
and it is quite clear that their leader knows some-
thing of his business. However, se far as is known,
they have no field artillery, and I cannot but think
they will fall an easy prey before such infantry,
cavalry, and artillery as are about to meet them.
What can a gin gal, however well directed, avail
against an Armstrong shell ? and Sang-ko-lin-sin
himself could hardly hold his own against such
swordsmen as Probyn and Fane. Immediately
after their return the Commanders-in-Chief deter-
mined to disembark the whole force immediately,
and, as soon as the necessary preparations were
made, to advance, storm the Tartar camp, and fol-
low them up with vigour.
On the 4th the landing of the artillery was con-
tinued, but under very great difficulties, as the wea-
ther was squally and the sea high outside the bar.
But " where there's a will there's a way," and
though the waves were rough the disembarcation
proceeded rapidly. The Tartars waxed valiant after
the reconnaissance, which they doubtless converted
into a great victory. On the 4th three men ad-
vanced within 200 yards of the French picket at
the gate, and one, detaching himself from the rest,
came forward brandishing his sword within 50
yards of the advanced sentries. At first it was sup-
posed that he might wish to parley, so a white flag
was hoisted, or rather a white handkerchief stuck
on the end of a musket. But his voice was still for
war. He fired his pistol, and got a volley in return,
which wounded his horse, but not mortally. He
rode back along the causeway, and about 300 yards
from the gate dismounted, and led back his steed.
From the fort their advanced pickets and camp are
distinctly visible. They evidently keep good guard,
and are on the alert so soon as any one passes the
gate.

The night of the 4th was again wet, and during a
tremendous span, which did not last five minutes,
the water in the gulf fell six inches. All through
the night the cavalry were landed, and the narrow
wharf presented a scene of apparently hopeless con-
fusion. But out of this disorder order came, through
the exertions of the Quartermaster-General's De-
partment, of whose complete efficiency it is impos-
sible to speak too highly. Colonel Stephenson,
Deputy Adjutant-General, and his Staff, were also
indefatigable, and in due course the whole of the
cavalry and artillery were landed without a
single accident, except that a favourite mule of
Sir Hope Grant's, which had followed his
fortunes in India for many years, got staked
and was shot. Let it be remembered that
thesehorses and guns were brought from ships lying
some miles out at sea, towed in open boats across a
dangerous bar and up a narrow tortuous river, in
which the tide runs like a mill stream, and landed
on a narrow mud wharf; that the horses are over
2,000 in number, and the baggage animals as many
more, and it will be evident that the Staff of this
little army is most thoroughly efficient. Some com-
plaints have been made as to the course adopted by
the admiral, who has not hnded the force according
to the plan carefully prepared by Col. Mackenzie,
in consequence of which commanding and staff offi-
cers were kept for some time without their horses.
But all's well that ends well. The whole expedition
has been landed within a week, amid squalls, gales,
and heavy seas, and the navy has certainly worked
with a will, often for 18 and 20 hours at a stretch.
Probyn's Horse are picketed on one side the fort,
and part of Desborough's battery on the other.
Mid pouring rain and in heavy slush the Sikhs had
to pitch their camp, but the weather fortunately
cleared, when a hot sun and strong breezes soon
dried up the mud. I an writing this letter in an out-
house which forms my quarters, the slate roof of
which affords better protection against the sun than
the canvas of a tent. My domicile is built of mud,
the roof of wood and matting with a substantial
tile cover. There is neither door nor window, for
the oiled paper I found doing service for the latter
excluded both light and air, and was pulled out at
once. My apartment is proved with brick, and is ten
feet by eight. It is unfortunately occupied by a
numerous tenantry, whom all my exertions have
been unable to eject, and who feed on my poor body
nightly. For the rest, it keeps out the rain, except
when the wind is due east, and it lets in the sun at
five in the morning, so that I am driven perforce to
very early hours. As to the dust, no windows
ever constructed would keep out that, so that their
absence is of little consequence. From the cava-
lier before me floats the Union Jack, indicating
the head-quarters of the Commander-in-Chief.
At the corner of the highest bastion is a group
composed of Sir Hope Grant, in flannel shirt and
trousers, Sir John Michel, Colonels Stephenson and
Mackenzie, and Captain Willes, carefully inspecting
the enemy's outposts. In the foreground an obsti-
nate mule of Major Sarel's objects to the portman-
teaus with which he is being loaded, and kicks about
frightfully, though a syce is holding on like grim
death to a twitch on his nose, Descending the hill
are Lord Richard Grosvenor, who has come from
Japan to see the fun, Colonel Ross, and a couple of
French soldiers. Amid ropes, wooden gun carriages,
and debris of every descriptiOn, the coolies are cook-
ing their dinner, a most mysterious and unsavoury
mess, and behind them are the Artillery, just leading
out their horses to water. Signor Beate, whose
photographs of Indian camp life are so well known,
has just asked for "steadiness" while he takes a
photograph of the scene. To the right are Probyn's
Horse with their little square tents, their lances
glittering in the sun, their red and blue pennants
flaunting in the wind, their magnificent Arabs
fighting, squealing, and kicking in every direction,
their syces and beesties, their goats, dogs, mules,
and asses. A more picturesque scene was _
witnessed. This sort of bivouac is. however, attended
with its disadvantages. Some of the gunners had
partaken rather freely of samshu before coming
into the fort. About midnight I was awakened
by noise in my room, and saw a stalwart

bombardier in the doorway. Jumping up at once,
I asked his business, and he hiccupped out, "My
name's O'Brien, and (needless information) I'm an
Irishman. I've lost my coat, and I hould you
responsible." With some little trouble, and after
a threat of appealing to the sentry, I got him out,
and he staggered to a large heap of wood, on which

he fell. " Ought Ito kick him, or cut his throat, or
shall I kick him first and cut his throat afterwards ?"

was his soliloquy regarding myself, as he quietly

_
resigned himself to sleep.
The landing of the artillery was concluded on
Monday. On that and the previous day all the
idlers, both French and English, turned out to see
the guns. The 32-pounders and the 8-inch mortars,
and the newly-invented carriages, were taken at a
hand gallop through the streets more than axle deep
in mud, slush, gal bage, matting, bricks, broken

china, and other Peh•tang delicacies. Not one acci-
dent occurred. Not one gun was halted. Mortars,
howitzers, Armstrongs, and 9-pounders, were all
safely conveyed to the artillery park at the gate,
and neither gun, waggon nor carriage was injured.
On Sunday I saw several gunners thrown on their
knees in the kennel, but the sergeant cheered them
up, saying, " Sure, it's Sunday boy s, and where
could ye be better than on your knees ?"
Notwithstanding the position of the town, and
the many inducements to cholera and typhus, the
health of the army is most extraordinary—very
much better than at Tah•lien-hwan. There the per-
centage was a little• above 4, here it is positively
only 11 per cent. on the whole force, for "no one
now has leisure to be sick, in such a jostling time."
The excitement carries the men through, for they
know they are soon to meet the enemy, and should
they fall ill they would be sent to the fleet. How-
ever, this state of things could not possibly last
amid the close streets and pestilential atmosphere,
redolent of cholera and typhus, which surrounds us,
and it is a subject of universal congratulation that
we go into the open the day after to-morrow. I am
sorry to learn, however, that the force left at Hong-
kong is in a very bad state, and that the men are
dying fast. It is high time that something should
be done about this charnel house for English trcops,
and I have reason to know that the strongest re-
presentations have been made to the home Govern-
ment against any European regiment being again
stationed there. Kowloon, our new acquisition, af-
fords an excellent site for barracks. I cannot pur-
sue the subject at present, but it is one which I pro-
pose thoroughly to investigate hereafter.
A house in the French quarter took fire on Mon-
day, but after the greatest exertions the flames were
extinguished, and the damage confined to the house.
Next day Captain Govan, R.A., discovered a slow
match lighted in a house occupied by the artillery,
which match was connected with a large catty of
powder. It was providentially discovered in time,
for the effect of an explosion in the town, with the
enormous mass of ammunition collected in every
quarter, would be something frightful. Almost at
the same time an alarm was raised in the French
quarter that the Chinese were poisoning the water.
On examination, however, this turned out to be
incorrect, though a Frenchman had died foaming
at the mouth shortly after drinking freely. The
result of these alarms was to cause a general search
for Chinese, who were all expelled the town.
The weather is on the whole as favourable as we
Gould expect, though very hot, the thermometer
standing at 90 in the shade. Still the sun does not
seem to produce the pernicious effect attending a
summer campaign in the south of China, and though
the men have been much exposed there has been
no case of sun stroke. We are never 24 hours
without a breeze, or rather a smart gale, now from
the S.W., now from the N.E. During the week
that has elapsed since the landing there have been
heavy showers, but no continuous downpour except
on Sunday, when it rained six or seven hours at a
stretch. It is clear, however, that there is no re-
gular rainy season. All the inhabitants laugh if
asked when the rain is expected. " How can we
tell ?" say they. "We know when it has fallen,
but cannot tell when it will come." This is satis-
factory, for amid this mud and marsh rain is our
worst enemy.
As the Peiho is inaccessible to the larger gunboats
except during spring tides, the Taku forts cannot
be attacked from the river for another week. About
the middle of the month the great affair will most
probably come off, and I trust by next mail to in-
form you that the English and French flags float
from the forts of the Peiho.
On Saturday, the 11th inst., the mettle of the
Tartar troops will be tested, for the Commanders-
in-Chief have determined on attacking their camp
in force. The English force will consist of the
whole of the first and half of the second division,
Barry's and Milward's batteries of Armstrong
guns, and Stirling's, Govan's, and• Desborough's
batteries—thirty English guns besides rockets.
All the cavalry will be out, and our contingent will
be upwards of 7,000 men. The English will be in
front on the eauseway ; the march being opened by
two of Barry's guns and 200 men of the Royals,
after which will follow the remainder of Barry's
battery, the Royals and the 31st, this advanced force
being under the command of Brigadier Staveley.
An equal advanced guard of the French will be
next. and then the main body of the English. It
is anticipated that the Chinese left may be turned,
and that the cavalry may get possession of the
bridge over the Peiho, in which case the Tartars
would be caught in a trap, and the war finished " in
a clap of thunder." They are hard at work throwing
up intrenchments, but they have no Todtleben to
direct them here.
On the 6th inst., when the Beagle was getting
water up the Peh-tang river, Admiral Hope sent
Mr. Morrison ashore with a flag of truce to announce
that if the Tartars did not fire on our watering party
,we should not fire on them. This was arranged,
and Hang-fuh, governor of the province, took ad-
vantage of the opening to send Lord Elgin a letter
by a second or third-rate mandarin. It is said that
this communication did not concede a single point
demanded by the ultimatum, but was evidently in-
tended to delay hostilities on the part of the allies.
However that may be, Lord Elgin, after consulta-
tion with Baron Gros, sent back the messenger and
declined the overtures of the provincial governor,
who had no power whatever to treat. Just as I
conclude my letter, heavy rain is descending, and
the glass has gone down considerably. Happen
what may, the army will move forward on Sa-
turday.
