TESTIMONIALS.

(From Anthony White. H.q., Parliament-street, one of the
Council, and late President of the Royal College of
Surgeons.)
I can with much' satisfaction recommend to the public the
boot or shoe which is denominated " Impilia." Its peculiar
advantages over all other boots or shoes are, that it is imper-
viable to wet and damp, and always gives an agreeable and
constant warmth to the feet ; is also elastic, and is admirably
adapted to tender and crippled feet from gout or other maladies.
April 6. 1642. ANTHONY WHITE.
(From Dr. Paris, of Dover-street, London.) •
I have examined and worn with comfort and satisfaction
shoes constructed with intermediate soles of felt, to which you
have bestowed the name " Impilia." They undoubtedly pos-
sess an elasticity and capacity oisadaptation to the form of the
foot not possessed by ordinary shoes, and they have the rare
merit of not creaking. They are, moreover, warm and dry,
and I am not able to discover any objection to their use on the
score of health. J. A. PARIS, M.D.
(From J. G. Andrews, Esq. St. Helen's-place, one of the Coun-
cil, and late President of the Royal College of Surgeons.)
I have worn for some time the new patent boots, called " Im-
pilia," with much comfort and satisfaction. I find the boots
possess great elasticity, evenness of pressure, and I am
enabled to walk a greater distance without inconvenience.
April 20,1842. J. G. ANDREWS.
(From Dr. Roots, Russell-square, London. )
Dear Sir,—l have now worn for some time a pair of boots
with intermediate soles, which you term Impilia."
They are
admirably adapted for the ease and comfort of tender feet, and
the elasticity of their tread is very pleasant. I can with cons
fidence recommend them for general use, while for medical
men they possess the very rare advantage of not creaking, and
con9cqoently are so desirable in a sick room.

,
Having not only examined, but put: to the proof of experience,
rt
the patent sales invented by ,ty I
have no hesitation in !ay-friend William Baker
M. R. C. S., and termed " Impilia,'
ing that they are a very decided improvement on the common
method of construction. They are not only much more
'agreeable to the sole of the foot, but promote a warm and uni-
form temperature as well as freedom from damp, whether eu.
tering from without or derived from the feet. It my 'no be
amiss to observe that, to obtain the full benefit of this improve.
ment, it is essential that the pernicious distortion of the foot,
so generally inflicted, by the shoemaker, should. be carefully
avoided. TuostAs nonce-IN, M.D.
30-4, 1842.
From John C. Taunton. Esq., M, R. C. S.'4B, Hatton-garden.)
I have worn with satisfaction the boots with the intermed ate
soles of ‘• Impilia." They appear to me to possess advantages
over boots of the usual construction. They are worn with
more comfort, adapt themselves better to, the form of the foot,
and are impervious to wet. JOHN C. TAUNTON.

A meeting of Spanish Bondholders was held yesterday
at the London Tavern, I3ishopsgate-street ; JOSEPH
TasaEn, Esq., in the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN said that the amount of Spanish bonds
supposed to be in circulation not exceeding.a quarter of
a million, it was not surprising the meeting ivas not
better attended. But though a great number of Spanish
Bondholders were not directly, they were indirectly, in-
terested in the payment or non-payment of those very
sacred securities. Although. it was not long 'since
they met, it was . essential they should meet at this
time with regard to the treatment which Senor y Hull
threatened them with. It was absolutely, essential, after
the political and financial demise of that Minister, to
whom in vain they addressed themselves so frequently,
that they should convene a meeting, and let them hope
that the course he pursued towards them was one among the
many causes which led to his dismissal from office. Now
what was their case ? After the solemn pledge of hav-
ing their principal and interest of G per cent. thereon
paid, they were called on to surrender the guarantee for
the payment for an irredeemable 3 percent stock. Was that
guarantee given them for the purpose of trifling with
them. Was that the manner in which such documents
were to be interpreted ? Why, it was worse than any -
thing which had been done heretofore by the Spanish
Government._ If -Senor y Bull took the trouble of look-,
ing throuir'fhe 'documents he would find the question
had been amply discussed in London and Madrid in 1838.
.The home creditors having paid their dividends iii hard
cash it was thought necessary 'to give the other some-
thing approaching as nearly as possible to- eash
payments. At first they were offered Cuba
bills payable in four years, but the offer was indig-
nantly rejected. This took place in 1836, when
civil war was raging in Spain, and Don Carlos
was almost at the gates of Madrid, and a second offer
was then made by Mendizabal of Treasury bonds, pay-
able in one year with interest ; • and if that offer were
not made with good faith and full knowledge, it proved
that he was the most ignorant or unprincipled Minister
with whOm Spain was ever cursed.—(Hear, hear.) The
face of the bond ,showed that he knew the meaning of
its contents, and. they found, 'moreover, the Cortes em-
powering the Finance Minister to treat with them. The
models for them was taken from the Exchequer bills-of this
country, and it was such .bills that Senor y Hull intended
to have executed when he wanted an issue to the amount
of 1,600,000/. There was everything they coald have
desired in these bonds ; and if they were to draw them
up themselves, they would not wish to have them _altered
from what they contained. Butnotwithstanding all this they
did not, after the lapse of six years, receive any of th:tt
capital which was to have been in their pockets in 1827.
It was impossible to conceive anything of a more stringent
nature than those documents, and yet they were disre-
garded. What could be expected from a Government
which could proceed in that manner ? He would express
his feelings of indignation and contempt for men who
administered the affairs of a once great 'and proud
nation in such a manner. They must feel that a nation
capable of acting in so dishonest and false a manner were
not j'et ripe for a Constioition. It was nothing less than a
piece of Spanish constitutional buffoonery, or aliigh-sound,
ing constitutional swindle. But if they were only true to
themselves and adhered to their rights they would succeed.
The public-press never would desert them.—(Cheers) It
was the press which first circulated that long seri..s of
addresses which elicited their confidence ; but the Edi-
tors of The Sun, the Chronicle, the Times, the 'Herold,
and the Post would never have inserted them if they did
not believe they would be fulfilled to the letter.—
(Cheers.) Men of the highest character were treated in
the same way. Sir I. .L. Goldsmid was treated most
cavalierly, and he must be disgusted with the treatment
he received. He must have documents in his possession
which would be of the greatest importance, and ho did
not think it would be too much to ask for them. 'l'hl
was what had occurred up to 1842, when Don Jose
Borraco appeared and- acted his part. When ho
came to this country, he (the Chairman) felt it
his duty to call on him, and inquire if he had
received any orders to pay the principal to the holders
of the bonds, to which he replied that he had
not. He then made the same inquiry with'
regard to the interest and received a similar answer.
But this gentleman, notwithstanding he said he hail co
instructions, asked them to take three per cent. stock,
thus adding insult to injustice.--(Cheers.) These were
crooked and dirty proceedings, and would in the end be
the ruin of Spain. " I have no orders," said he, " but it
you wish to take three per cent., you may." Ile
did not think-shah -eouduet- -ought' to be-oalef-ated,
because it brought the Cortes and the Spanish
Embassy itself into 'contempt. He wrote list
week to the Spanish Ambasador on the subject,
but he was referred to the Finance Committee. Ile
hoped no person would accede to the terms proposed by
Borraco. How differently had Portugal acted ? She
had paid up her coupons. But he could hardly believe that
the conduct he had complained of was to be attributed to
the Spanish nation, once so proud of her credit and her
honour ; but rather to the ignorance and incapacity of
the Minister of Finance. He troubled the meeting, he
was afraid, too long ; and he would now proceed to read
the address to the Regent of Spain on the subject.
Colonel BRADLEY suggested that it would be better to
send a petition to the Spanish Parliament.
The CHAIRMAN said he considered it would be better
to send it in the first instance to the fountain head.
Captain BarrToN regretted the absence of Sir Isaac
'Lyon Goldsmith, whose presence at their meeting was
so desirable. It was not necessary for him to ' say any-
thing after the full' manner in which Mr. Tasker
stated the whole case. If the Spanish Govern-
ment were disposed to rob them, there was a
last resource left them—an appeal to their own
Parliament, which he was sure would not allow them to
be robbed.—(Hear.)
The following resolutions were unanimously agreed
to by the meeting :

TO HIS HIGHNESS THE DUC DE VICTORIA AND REGENT

OF SPAIN.
" May it please your Highness.—As Chairman of the
public meetings held here on various occasions, of a
class of the foreign creditors of your honourable nation,
termed the Treasury Bondholders, I take leave to address
your Highness in explanation of the painfully anomalous
position in which these unfortunate persons, with whom
1 am a sufferer in common, find themselves placed.
" This I propose doing, with as much brevity as the
case will admit of, and I commence by stating what
was the origin of our claims.
"In the autumn of 1836 the Finance Minister of the
day, Senor Mendizabal, notwithstanding the severe
pressure upon the Madrid Treasury, caused by the civil
war, paid the interest accruing on the domestic debt
in the October of that year, punctually, in hard cash.
" His Excellency's attempts to raise funds sufficient
for a like punctual payment of the interest of the foreign
debt due in London and Paris, Nov. 1, 1836, failed. It
became necessary in consequence, in order to uphold
the credit of Spain, to make an arrangement for that
portion of the public engagements.
" After one or two propositions were rejected, the
offer of Treasury Bonds payable in full in six months.
and 12 months from the time of their issue (both prin-
cipal and interest) at 5 per cent. per annum, was made
ant accepted by the creditors in London.
" The civil war was then at its height, the
Carlist army was at the gates of Madrid, but 'such wa,
the confidence entertained that gofici faith would be ob-
served in the matter; that the Treasury bonds were pur-
chased at four times the market value of the ordinary,
or active stock.

" The pledge entered into under the auspices of the
Minister, acting in, concert with the best accredited eapi-
talists of this country,' had the express sanotion of the
Queen and Cortes.

"Its perfect sufficiency, as an instrument of security,
was accordingly undoubted. An obligation was, per-
haps, never issued under guarantees so apparently bind-
ing ; but to render its validity the more unquestionably
as to the day for the payment of the first instalment ap-
proached such payment vvas formally announced in the
English newspapers as provided for, and this by a no
less exalted personage than his Excellency the Chevalier
de Aguilar, then Ambassador of Spain at the Court of
London.

" Many foreign demands upon the Treasury of your
distinguished nation, have been recently put into a train
of settlement ; but although the claims to which the at-
tention of your Highness is now earnestly invited, nre
of an earlier creation, as well as of 4 clutraeter incom-
parably more sacred, the inftor remain to 'the present
hour unredeemed, and utterly disregarded. Not a far-
thing, either of the interest or the principal, has been
paid upon the Treasury bonds in question.
" To give additional currency to the security, it Was
stated by the Minister at the time it was issued, that
war itself should be no harrier to its punctual discharge
at the period stipulated, and that by this test should the
honour ofSpain and the credit and integrity of her Go
vernment be proved. It seems inexplicable beyond ex
pression, therefore, that no attention should have been
paid to them since the restoration of peaoe----now so
long happily effected through the instrumentality of your
To your Highness, who have shown yourself fa-
vourable ton simple appreciation of pecuniary questions.
it cannot fail to occur at once that the fair fame of your
country is in danger of being seriously comprotulsed
a dogged neglect of claims arising to friendly strangers,
out of circumstances such as form tlia basis of those of
English TreastlVl iiqudhoiders. The validity of these
aluit s= in the very strictest sense, is not disputed by the
B.panish authorities.
"The present Minister of Filvinoog, Senor Surra y
lull flat- instnnee, admits it to the fullest extent, as does
Senor Zulueta the late President of the Finance Com-
mission in London ; yet no measure of relief is afforded
us, and our only consolation is • to be found in the
fact, that we have the recorded assuranqe
Senor Surra y null, that the AttllWOceiglit or
Capitalization of 1836, will tio; tke, in any manner
interfered with to our, pl,:stii4ce, as the enemies of Spain.
at 9.;W itrminsd tq give out, The Exchequer

paper.of every Government has been respected, even that
of Portugal and Mexico does not form an exception.
• " Your -Highness is now in possession of the Main
features of our lamentable case, and I dare to hope that
through the powerful medium of your Highness's autho-
rity, the inequitable treatment it exposes of a small, but
not the less deserving body of the creditors of Spain will
be speedily redressed.
" MY apology fOr troubling your Highness personally
on the subject is, that I have repeatedly, but in vain,
appealed to the justice of the Executive.
• " I have the honour to remain,
" Your Highness's most obedient humble servant,
" JOSEPH TASKER.
" London House, Chiswick, Middlesex, June, 1842.
" P.S. I also enclose certain resolutions passed at a
public meeting of the holders of Spanish Treasury Bonds,
held in London on 6th June."
RESOLUTIONS passed at a Public Meeting of the,Holders
of Spanish Treasury Bonds, held in London on the 6th
of June.
" 1. Resolved, That the letter to the Due de Victoria,
read to the meeting be adopted, and forwarded to his
Highness, and that it would be incompatible with the
high character and pretensions of the exalted individual
to doubt for an instant that a document relating to a
matter touching so nearly the honour and credit of the
Spanish nation will be instantly taken into his Highness's
most serious consideration.
" 2. Resolved, that loOking to the or hen and:peculiar
eireamstandes 'of the amid Treasury Bonds, and the
stringency of the Decrees passed•guaranteeing the punc-
tual discharge of the same at Maturity in six *rid twelve
months, both principal and five per cent. interest, and
considering more particularly that payment itself of one-
half of the said principal and five per cent. interest, was
actually announced by a Spanish Ambassador, through
the English Journals, so-far back as June, 1837, giving
a very enhanced value to the security, the holders will re-
jnt any proposition that attempts to reduce the stipulated
interest of 5/. per cent. or that is so framed as to cancel
the other redemption clauses and privileges secured to
these bonds under the law of November 18, 1836 ; and
that this meeting is of opinion that it would be no less
discreditat;!e to the holders to accept or listen to any
such proposals, than it is inthe highest degree degrading
on the part of Spain to submit them, as it would be in
fact virtually proclaiming to all Europe that the solemn,
duly signed, and fbrmal decrees of the Spanish Govern
tnent; are unworthy of the slightest confidence, and mere
unmeaning_and empty forMalities, calculated only to de-
ceive and ruin incautious persons. •
" 3. That this meeting, bearing in mind the most im-
portant fact that the dividends of October, 1836, having
been paid in cash to the home creditor, and the foreign
claim having been settled at the time by an issue of
Treasury bills as the best substitute for ready cash,' the
said claim is in a position totally different from that of
an ordinary claim for dividends due at a later date, and
for which Frhree per Cent. Stock is offered equally to the
home and foreign creditors as a compromise, and on
which two dividends have been already paid, whilst the
Treasury bill holders have not received even an instal-
ment of their large overdue arrears of interest, though
the principal and interest was made redeemable io 1837.
"4. That the said Bills being in themselves a conver-
sion, and forming already a compromise of an original
claim due in cash, it would only open the door to endless
reductions and ruinous conversions and reconversioni, if
any departure flout the terms stipulated were submitted
to, and would form a precedent injurious to all classes of
Spanish and other Foreign Bondholders.
" 5. That it being declared by the Minister on issu-
ing the bonds, that the war itself should be no bar to
punctual discharge and payment of 'these claims, and
peace and tranquility now prevailing, the Committee be
requested to use.every exertion to obtain a final settle-
tnent ot• their due by a fresh application to her Majesty's
Foreign Secretary of State, and to the. Spanish embassy,
as it was under its auspices they were originally
issued, and

• " 6. That -the thanks of the Treasury bill-holders are
due to the Right Hon. the Earl of Aberdeen, for-his
courtesy and exertions in their favour.
" 6. Resolved, That this meeting has heard, aith satis-
faction, that Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid has frequently
represented the hardships of the case, and also the
unjust, disgraceful treatment of himself and the holders,
of Treasury bonds ; and this meeting feeling convinced
that when, in 1836, the offer of a compromise by means
of bills on Cube, made payable both principal and in-
terest in four years, was rejected with scorn ;,nd'
indignation by the public, and the issue of these.
Treasury bills made payable in full. is one year
was substituted as a. more equitable arrangement,
that Sir Isaac --Lyon- Goldsmid must hare - recelitcd,.
' and still possess, instructions -and documents 'on
the -subject, of the highest importance to their
interests, and that he be required (armed as he Innst
thus be with the most powerful of arguments and
weapons) to urge upon . the Spanish Executive With
all possible energy the policy .of paying 'off these
prior and sacred engagements, after near six
years disgraceful -neglect •of every anise contained
upon the bonds, and even though payment of the first
fifty per cent. principal and interest, was duly announced
in 1837 in strict accordance with the tenour of ;the
Decree of November 18th, 1836. The latter announce-
ment being made by the Spanish Embassy.
" Resolved, that the meeting cannot but record their
disappointment and deep regret, that Sir Isaac Lyon
Goldsmid did not attend the meeting or favour theta
with explicit information with respect to his remon-
strances with the Spanish Government, and their Testilt."
The meeting then 'separated.

LLANELLY RAILWAY AND DOCK
COMPANY.
A Special General Meeting of the Proprietors in this
Company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for
the purpose of receiving the Report of the Committee of
Management, and to elect two new Directors.
ROBERT Buummrit, Esq., took the Chair, and having
briefly explained the object of the meeting, called on
The SECRETARY, who read the report, from which it
appeared that the Company has completed 12 miles of the
main line towards Llandilo, and in the several branches
144 t miles, making altogether 26} miles of railway.
They had also erected cottages and workmen's
houses near the line of railway, with sheds and work-
shops for the locomotive engines and waggons. There
had been 325 new coal waggons completed, and 29
in course of completion ; making in the whole, 354.
Also three locomotive engines ; two of them in constant
use, and one nearly ready for service. The basin had
been most materially enlarged, and on the south side, a
stone quay wall with three new shipping stages have
been completed ; whilst on the north side, two additional
stages are in the course of erection. Tlw channel has
been widened, and the sidings near the dock and tertxdni
at such place and other purr„ of the line and branches,
have been laid out and nearly finished. The works and
arrangements are now consolidated, by which a tonnage
to a remunerating extent can be brought down the line,
and shipped at the dock and buiu.
The state of the na4ili4tion at or near the entrance
channel, has been fox, some time a subject of anxious so•
licitude to the Committee. They have on several occa-
sions wade serious representations to the Burry Harbour
Commissioners (under whose especial conservancy this
part of the ha.rbour,has been placed by Parliament), to
remove the obstructions, and
.prevent the recurrence of
uny impedi
ments to the. navigation into or out of the
Company's channel.
Since the Annual General Meeting, the Committee
have entered into several important contracts for the
supply of waggons and haulage power, a summary of
which is as follows
The entire amount of interest paid on debentures, and
on the balance due for the original purchase, amounting
to the large item of 2,4011. 9s. 3d., has been entirely
charged on the revenue realised in last year's account, as
also the other charges fu,' repairs of permanent way,
rates, taxes, saki %.itlaries, which operation falling so
heavily sit n small and inadequate return, leaves, this
no actual surplus to be disposed of by the Pro-
prietors.

The SECRETARY toad a statement of the accounts,
from which it appeared that there was a balance in the
hands of the Treasurers.

Two new Directors were then elected, and the meeting
separated.

A man named Gerard appeared on Saturday before
the Correctional Tribunal, charged with fraudulently intro-
ducing spirits into Paris. It appeared from the evidence that
the prisoner, who, from his sun-browned skin, his black
moustache, and wooden leg, might pass for a soldier returning
from Africa, entered the barrier of Charenton on April °Si,
at ten at night‘ There was a look of indecision and un-
easiness about him that did not altogether satisfy the employes
at the gate. His wood en leg, too, had a strange and clumsy
look. Gerard was politely requested to enter the bureau. Pe
did so, hut in a few moments a wonderful change was effected
in his outer man ; for in a trice he unbuckled some straps
down fell the wooden leg, and off ran Gerard as quickly as his
two good logs of flesh would let him. He was, however, over-
taken, and his wooden leg was found to contain five litres of
spirits of wine. The Court condemned him to a fine of 200
and to be imprisoned until it should be paid.
A grocer, of Chatnpignv, near Sceaux, named
Bourclier, who keeps an office for omnibuses running to and
from Paris, against which there is a strong opposition by an-
other company, was brought before the Tribunal of Correc-
tional Poll cif Paris, a few days ago, under the following cir-
c,law.t.inesss :—On the 18th ult. Bourclier assaulted Reveillac,
the conductor of one of the opposition omnibuses, and beat him
so brutally, that the poor man has ever since remained in a
state of idiotism, and is now in a lunatic asylum. The poor
man Reveillac was brought into Court, but his intellects were
SCI completely deranged that he could
.not answer
.or even com-
prehend the usual questions put to hint by his yudgt.s. The
case, however, being fully proved by the evoionee, Bourclier
was sentenced to be imprisoned for two mouths, and the _Tri-
bunal awarded immediate payment of I,ooof. damages to the
sufferer, and further erd.e.red that Bourclier should purchase
renter in the poblio rands to the amount of 300. f. per annum,tr.:ll)4,o:4)l4A towards the maintenance of Reveillac until theremonths after his perfect restoration to his health and faeAdties.
Between sixty and seventy the A. division of the
Metropolitan police were rofixeye4 in vans from the station in
Gardener's-line yesterday morning to Ascot, where they will
remain dying the rases.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM -THE- EVENING -PAPERS OF YESTERDAY..
GLOBE.—The effoct'of the recent, atroeims and.
cowardly attempt on the life of our behoved Sovereign
is, we regret to.'say, but too plainly perceptible in her
Majesty's countenance and„demeanour when in pub-
lic. Distinguished as is the .Queen for calm forti-
tude, and more than womanly -courage, her Majesty
must • indeed' be' more than human, were she alto-
gether •siiperier to those apprehensions Which second
dastardly attack upon her life would excite. in the.
stoutest V heart. We regret to state—and We do so,
on information derived • from those who have fre-
quent opportunities of ohservation-that in place. of
the former cheerful and 'confident demeanour of the
Queen, when taking her accustomed drives, these is a.
manifest perturbation, a hurried and anxious .-cast of
countenance, which portrays too plainly, chat the
calm flow of happy feeling which the -.eieserice or
the . assembled groups of her people formerly cre-
ated, has sustained an interruption ; and that appre-
hension of danger excites almost involuntary vie,-
lence !to:detect its possible approach. In these feel-
ings of anxiety, lest a recurrence of the attempt of'
.Monday•eVening last should be made, it is evident
that Prince Albert and the Duchess. of Kent also,
participate. - These indications of alarm were espe-
cially risible in •the Queen's manner yesterday on
her Nlajeety's progress from Buckingham Palace to
the Chapel Royal. The attendance of t wo- equer
one on each Side the Royal carriage, in place of one,
as formerly—showed that the remarks we w'.:re le&
to make on the absence of proper precautionS, on the
part of those to whom such matters ought to he art
object of incessant care, after the preraonition of
danger supplied by the attempt of/the • Sunday
preceding—had not been made in vain. The:chapel
Royal was yesterday crowded to excess. N
ot
Merely did the entire household attend-to join their
Royal Mistress in thanksgiving to Heaven for her rio-
hewed delierance• from death, . but ja very large,
number of the nobility were also -present. The Bishop.
of London preached a most impressive sermon on the
occasion ; in the course of which tie alluded to'the at-
tempt upon the Queen, and to her merciful deliverance,
which he ascribed to the immediate interposition: of the
Deity. Thu form thansgiving ordered to 'be read.
on the occasion
.was joined in by the assembled.
congregation -with marked fervour—a feeling which'
was. too .strongly marked to escape observation ;n
them_metropolitan churches, in which'• it was gel*.
rally• read. The Ministers of the different d.eno-
minations of Dissenters also alluded to the event in
their prayers, with marked and emphatic gratitude.
STANDARD.—Thy intelligence received by the,
Overland Indian Mail is on the whole satiAtetory,
although the preponderating good news is in some,
measure ;tlloy.ed by information of an opposite de-
ett;ition. The most I,cratifying part of the intelli-
gence is the successful attempt by General Pollock
to force the Khyber Pass—an achievement never
before accomplished in the face of even a numeri-
Cally Inferior enemy. This exploit possesses im-
mense importance in whatever light it is rearded..
It at once affords relief to Sir - `Robert
Sale and hit. 4 gallant army in .Tellalabad,
and it liberates the communication -between the
army in Attfrhanistan and the resources of India,
thus most auspiciously- opening the/campaign,
which we trust this disastrous war 'is to be ended;
but the effect upon opinion must be still more valuable.:
than any temporary advantage.. An Anglo-Indiana
army, has now aChieved, what was never before'
attempted—what Nadir Shah, at the head of a count-
loss, host, l 25,090 of it cavalry, was fain to abandon
in despair, buying the permission to transport
multitudes .for avast sum of money. 'This the gal-
lantry of an Anglo-Indian army has achieved
in the face of a greatly superior number of enemies,
and achieved it with 'comparative ease, through un-
conquerable- gallantry- directed by consummate skill..
The effect of this wonderful exploit upon the Affghans
must more than extinguish all the confidence create&
by the ohance success of -their perfidy in the destruc-•
tic% of General Elphinstone's force nor are we to
leave out of sight the value of such encouragement
to our Indian troops and our Indian allies. This re-
versed Thermopylae will be as long celebrated inlndian
history as the glories of Leonidas were in Greece.
