Headquarters on the plains of Mazda
9th July, 1906.
Parole-Me6fna.
Maior-general FIR John Stuart finds himfe If in
capable of expreliing to the troops the fent-
mcnts excited in him. bv their brave and in.rc-
pid conduct in the late action of the 1tb. in
which they gained 70 ignal triumph over a
boating and info!ent enemy. Their diRinguif,
ed behaviour on this memorable day, will en-
dear them in the breaGs of their grateful coun-
trymen; it will eufure TO them the app.auCe of
their approving foveregn, and add another i'm
mortal wreath to the Iaurels of the Briti!h ar
my.
The light brigade under col. Kempt, who
led the attack, and who charged and broke the
enemy's favorite frf light corps, dfplayed a
combined inftance of gallantry & difcipline, of
which military records have furnifhed but few
examples.
The 18th and SIN regiments, which formed
the brigade of general Auckland, ihared the firft
and feveref part ofthe action with the infantry,
whom they were ordered to fupport and the
gal!antry and good conduct of the brigadier-
general, in fulfilling this duty, were mott no.
by seconded by the brave regiments under his
orders.
The battalion of grenadier,, and the 9th re-
giment, under the orders of brigadier-general
Cole, made firm and intrepid refiftance againR
hyperion force; and the manruvre Of the
9th regiment, in throwing back wing to re-
ce,ve the enemy's cavalry, was the tronge1
token OF the excellent difcipne of that CORPS.
The 5sth and WatteviIle's regiments, which
formed the brigade under the orders of Col.
Oiwald, and which were brought up as fe-
cond line, funained the advanced column, with
the greate1 fpirit and ntrepidity.
The conduct of lieutenant-coIonel Rofi in
throwing the goth regiment into the wood, or
me enemy's Hank, while the latter were at
tempting to turn our left, was A prompt difpav
OF gaiiantry and Judgment, to which the army
was mot critically indebted.
me artillery was well provided, and mott
eHectually ierved under the directions of major
Lemoine, the commandant of that corps
From the various public departments of the
army, and Especially from lieut. col. Bnnbury,
the deputy quarter matter general, Sir John
Stuart has to acknowledge the mott marked and
able ailiitance, not only during the continuance
OF the action itfeIf, but in all the arrangements
preparatory to its commencement.
NO language that the major gen. could A.
dopt, could bear any proportion to the feeling
with which he recurs TO all the circumltances
OF this great-this fgna day. To offer the ex-
PreiiIon of his own humble thanks, on 70 me-
morable an location, would be prelumptuous.
The army will receive the only acknowledge
ments adequate to their deeds, in the approba-
ton OF their fovereign and their country and
every folder whom the gen. now has the honor
OF add:ei!ing. will have an equal right with
himieIt to make the boat hereafter, that he
bore part in the glorious battle of Mazda.

INTERESTING PAMPHLET.

We have been favoured with the loan Of
a valuable English production entitled,
" An Inquiry into the state of the Nation
at the commencement Of the present adh,i-
nistration." lis author IS avowedly hostile
to the policy Of the late British minister,
particularly with regard to the continental
ALLIANCES. Under this head he proceeds In
perspiouoas manner TO trace back 10 IT'S
causes the unfortunate failure of the third
Coalition. The facts and arguments which
he produces, evince that he has had am.
pie access 10 the highest sources Of Political
Information; and thar he has viewed with
clear and steady eye, the operating causes
of the present cala,ni,ons SITUATION OF all
Europe.
So Far back as eighteen buHdred & three
the courts of Vienna and Petersbugh, had
yielded to the iuAuence Of British repre-.
sensations and determined on hostility TO
France, but as the author lndlgoantsy re.
marks, Is By cnusnHlasion OF headiong
impatiehce. the execution OF the enterprise
was attempted before tine was given TO
obtain deinitige answer iroul Prussia,
whether favorable OF adverse TO the views
Of the league. What shall we say then II
j. appears, that far from waiting ontil Pfuss
ala had become fcvonrably disposed,
the allies did cot even suspend their nnea.
sares until she had given positive answer
that far from waiting 20 ascertain whe-
tber Prussia meant to join them or remain
neutral, they RUSHED into TIE war before
thew knew whether She was 70 remain neu'
trail. or to take part with France y :.
:. But that part of the present work which
mos, interests this country. is that which
