FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
THE MAILS OF THE ASIA.

GENERAL STATE OF INDTA-From the comparative
naction that has succeeded the capture of Lucknow
it would seem rs if our troops were already pre-
pairing TO gointo quarters. During the two months
of fair weather still before might probably
manare to obtain possession of all the strOnghOlds
now in the hands of the enemy; but though we
might disperSe the garriSOns, we certainly could
not at present beyond this dispose of them atiSac
torilv. Though we should keep the field up to the
last day European troops could move, we should
still of necessity have to leave a cold-weather cam
paign for next year. The most sangune can surely
scarcely persuade himself that tranquility will be
anything like restored, the country pacified
when April, 1889, will be upon MS.
In this view of matters-and we see no other
that can well be taken-the two grand cOnsidera-
tions most pressing on Us appear to be- how shall
we manage our own arrangements best so as to have
troops in the best condition to resume the war
in October?-how deal with the enemy now so as
most cfectually to dispose of them when the proper
season for the resumption of active operations ar
rives? The answer to the first of these questions
is self evident. The continuance of the campaign
till the approach Of the rains will assuredly reduce
effective strength for the cold weather fourth
lower than it would be were troops in quarters
bv the lst of May.
This of itself is a consideration of the very utmost
moment, even if we put sacrifice orsaving of human
life out of the question altogether The matter as
it concerns the enemy is more complex. We doubt
less leave him for time to have his triumph and
his boast that we found ourselves unable to dispose
OF him in the time and manner expected. But
conceding him this, if we keep the garrisons at
Calpee or Barey within the walls or the environs
of these iOrtrcsses, shall suffer much less from
them meanwhile, than if they securing the
country, and we shall find them much more easily
accounted for accumulated in Il mass, than il they
were dispersed in detachments.
1t is very true that the early suspension of hos
tilities might tempt others to rise, who up to the
present time, have remained neutral but, it is far
better that all enemies should make themselves
known to us, so that we may be enabled, next year.
to close accounts with them in mass, than to leave
behind questionable balance, which may after
wards be found either side of the account as cir
cumstances afterwards arise. Englandis not apt to
leave her tasks half completed but she is grievousy
given to underrate at the outset their difficulty,
and overrate her own strengthen the performance.
Two three times ballied in the endeavor to sur
mount impossibilities fully warned by failure that
she has not seen the matter in a right light, nor
taken up in a becoming way, when once she girds
herself for great effort, it must be a difficult
undertaking indeed which she fails to surmount.-
