Guiding the Irish as well as the Scotch militia.
Already sixty-four English and Welsh regi-
ments are embodied, and sixteen more are or
dered out, making eighty out of the hundred
Of England and Wales. The remaining twenty
will make the last batch. The number Of men
authorized by Parliament for this part Of the
local force is $4,000, whilst the number for
Scotland is 10000, and for Ireland 10000. If
ont Of these $4,000 can be got together, it will
be an outside number. Some $4,000 Of the
better prepared militia regiments viii garrison
the Mediterranean colonies, requiring fourth
more TO remain at home for the purposes Of de
pots and keeping up the force abroad. Thus
10000 are provided for. The remaining $4,000
will be required for home duty, in conjunction
with the depots Of the regular army, and for
volunteering into the line. In the military
colonies OF Malta, Gibraltar, and Corfu, the

TO htOrm SrbektOpoI.
The Russian army outside Of Sebastopol
amounted, when Sir De Lacy Evans left, ac-
cordinr TO his estimation, TO between 30 900
and 10000 men. Let Us suppose 10000 men
TO have arrived, and Liprandi will have nearly
10000 men under his orders. With this army,
supported by the army Of Sebastopol, he will
probably make another attack upon the allies.
This, in fact, has become a necessity, for other
wise Sebastopol must fall at once.
