Who Osman PaSha Is.

The Army and Navy journal, on Fri
day, published the following;
1T is confidently asserted in England
from private information that Osman
Pasha is none other than that celebrated
fugitive from French prisons, Marshal
Francois Ochilre Bazine, This intelli-
gence is by no means improbable. Ba-
zaine was always an active and stirring
man. and the circumstances of his pupic
trial in France were such as to shut him
from a career in any army in Christ
ian Europe. Like most French officers Of
rank, he had served in Algeria, and in 80
doing acquired considerable knowledge
of Arabic and of the Arabs. Besides this
he served in the Crimean war in com
mand of the Foreign Legion, and after
ward as French governor Of Sebastopol.
During that period he naturally made
many Turkish acquainQnces, and there
fore there is nothing more natural than
that he should 90 to Turkey in the hour
of his need. 1t is no secret that Bazne
was a strong Bonapartist, and that his
treason to France in the interest of the
late emperor is indulgently looked on by
the imperial government.
1" In Turkey, where Bazaine's master
was the best friend of the sultan, Ba-
py unose OF his Ineu0S "no knew ms yalue
in any capacity Of trained soldier.
That he should have concealed his lden-
titv with the utmost care is equal y as
natural, and had not war come 1t Is
possible he might have concealed it ti!l
! his death, but war with Russia, ms
antagonist of twenty years ago, could mol
fail to bring Osman Pasha in contact
with the people who knew General ia
zine as governor of Sebastopol. Whethe
the secrect leaked out through ssom'
Russian officer, prisoner in his hands, o
some English or French attache who ha'
served ia the Crimea, and recognizes
Osman Pasha, is uncertain, but tn
character of his fighting at Pleyna,
stubborn, defensive battle, is curiousl
