Ihave met here the otIlcers OF the 10th Infantry,
who have just arrived here from b tche where they
were with DE Faily. They have given me several
astounding proofs OF the more than foolish conduct
OF that General, and also Of the Incredible incapaty
OF French Generals who were thought for a long
time the world to he the most learned captains VI

say NJ De tallly wOuld have been In plenty Of time
to reach the scene OF action. The cannon was dis
tBcty heard ahead but he kept every three or four
miles making halts Of an hbur or more; and when
they rttreated they marched for twenty-four hours
without lying down.
They had no food. and they arrived here, marching
every day, and sometimes in the night without the
corps avng any distribution made to them the
whole time. The officers say they do not know how
the men lived, for they only had what they begged
only had what they could get from the men. The
number OF BlragRleTs was incredible, and they say
some some reglments we were even 800 400, ard 800 men men
they have passed. They have remained eating
and drinking with the peasantry, who have
hetn heard 20 say they had rather have russians
than such guests as these; for these soldiers who
have remained behinS in that way are the scum OF
their respective regiments. Discipline is entirely
destroyed in that corps. The oicer who telling
me this was nearly stabbed by OF his reSyi-
meDt, whom he was furnishing for firing off his ride
in the midst OF village, alarming she whole
column, which is very serious thing. As for the
ignorance Of the stan, on night march the ieneral
had tn ask his way at the junction OF two high roads
in France from peasant.
There not a map or field glass among the
whole stan, and on one occasion tney had to send
to small railway station TO borrow one, where
they obtained which concerned only &c horses.
They have since sent to Paris for some at the War
