Of historical irony not less notable that at the very

In the first period of me Oriental campaign,

of December was pulled as second Providence
and in every house was sung the admirable MILL

Having ayished more wealth in that short struggle

the means of France drained, her military admins

from misery. The canker that eats up the French
army is the organic principle of his empire-theft

wanted to make its work appear on the surface.
The wretched state of the French army in the
Crimea was broadly asserted in our columns before
the London press dared hint at it. Now it has be-
