complaints that General Canrobert and Lord
Raglan. though giving each other any assistance
required, do not act in concert, but each army
carries on the siege independently Of the other.
Whatever be the spirit of the troops, the officers
of the two armies do not agree. The
French find that the English are naughty in
private circles and though very gallant soldiers.
altogether destitute Of the knowledge necessary
for an oilicer-the English officers, again, hni the
French officers vulgar, because they associate
with the privates and non commissioned officers.
As TO the Navy, it never acted in concert with tho
Army: even on the Eth of October the attack OF
the fleet did not begin until tho French batteries
were sienced. As TO the Turkish suxiliares.
they have no cavalry or artillery OF their own.
therefore they are demolished, because they do not
, trust either the French or the English. This
state OF things will, of course, soen bs
altered, since Omer Pasha is now to 90 to

the Allies Oie not bright. After the storm Of

impossible, and the soil is altogether turned into

thing of importance will be achieved this year,
and the Gar will, probably, be able to send
100 eco men more to the Crimes ~ soon 81 tho

is not at all certain as the Government seems
to believe
The great nsiortUDes OF the campaign arise
from the constant changes IN the plans of opera
ton. In 4 former letter had occasion to explain
the delay in going to the Crimea, by the attempt

The failure before Sevastopol is again owing to
the alteration in the Plao Of campaign. Mir,hL
S. Arnauds scheme was simple and bold. His
object was to land, to seek the Russians wher-
ever he might End them, TO offer bait under
whatever circumstances, to defeat them at say
cost, to march straight upon SevastopOl, and TO
give assault, at any risk, before the panic and
decentralization of the Russians bad subsidized Ac-
cordingly, he fought the battle of the Alma,
though without any strategic necessity ho
pushed to the south Of Sevastopol, and-died.

FIVE thousand dead, at least, would have purchased

of stofmiDg the ill-for,ifed city, in the hope Of
reducing it, according to the rules Of science, BY
