[From the London Times, Nov 1871
Ten days have now elapsed since the great battle Of
the 9th ?. and eighteen since We have
the Crmea 1t in vain therefore, to weary ourselves
by conjecturng what may be the strength and position
calculations data which do not exist. We may,
however, fairly that whatever be the events Of
the war whether overpowered and shut up within our
pol, army will feel, after all that do for
them, the most pressing need Of reinf0rcements We
have taken some trouble to ASCERTAIN what amount
has been despatched, and what it is intended by
our government to despatch, and we believe that

poets Of relief which open to the gallant army Of
Lord Raglan. We believe that from the commencement
there have been despatched 1000 to reinforce

principally made Of detachments sent to complete the

they had already arrived, but small addition
to an army exposed as ours has been to the ravages Of
devouIing pestence, well to the attacks of
enemy greatly superior In numbers, in and in
knowledge OF the country. War has a devouring nav

gathered together, he foregoes his daily banquet
We are not believe too presamptuons In hoping that
the losses Of the siege and of the actions which have
been fought may by the supplies already sent be pretty
well compensated, and that for the future in order to
raise army to its original efficiency, all that is
quired will be the supply Of 1000 men to take the
places Of the sick, who fear. amount to fully that
number.

may be required to do garrison duty in the forrssses

reinforcement may be without running any risk

IL thus appears that government is now fully awake
