not very cheerful combination of circumstances
and objects witnessed this morning in front of the
Light Division camp. Before o'clock 100 men
from each infantry regiment, 30 from each battery

transport Corps were formed up in a vast hollow
square on Picket Hause HILL There had been a
driving shower halt hour before, and the troops
were in their black waterproots, which added to

was opened Monday, by the Emperor in person
His imperial Majesty delivered the following
speech:

THANKS to your aid and to the energy displaved

assistance OF Providence, these dangers if they
