to throw discredit upon baooning and make it APP

this gentleman evidently does. that any novice

A FRENCH OPINION OF The BRITISH
SOLDIER.
from the Paris Constitutional.

From the Paris Constitutionnel.l
We do not wish to depreciate the military value OF
the British army. The English soldier is excellent.
brave. solid. and dies at his post without starting.
Marshal Soult used to say. 1.-The English infantry is
the best in Europe. Luckily there is not much Of
it," Only, il the English soldier when in line is
marvellous he becomes mediocre when he is isolated.
The bravery of the Englishnian is of "a peculiar
kind-phlegmalic aud passive. When the soldier
has had a good meal OF beef ana rum, when he
has plenty of cartridges and need not bulge, he is
incompatible. You may dash whole columns of in
tantry aud squadrons of cavalry upon him; you
may cut him down. but you will not drive him
back. Witness terloo and Inkermann. Now
remove the English soldier from his camp, isolate
him, make him take the initiative and he
Is superlatively weak. OF all the which the
English could possibly have undertaken, this ex-
able to their nature and habits. This war of sur
prises. of isolated marches in unknown countries,
where Zulu may be lurking III ambush behind
every patch of stubble. is murderous school for
them. The English do not know how to guard them
selves, and do not reconnoitre Hence surprises and
disasters like that OF Isandula The result OF these
checks is to inspire the whole army from the Com
mander-in-C Chief down to the smallest drummer boy.
with an unconscious dread. which shows itself in
panics like that OF Lieutenant Carey, who galloped
several miles without being pursued by the Zulus.
and who left his comrades to be massacred without
the COsstitutionneD will be fatal to the English If
they do end it. They ill-commanded. they
have already lost numbers of men and they will lose
many more. Treasure prestige soldiers, all will
founder in this campaign, undertaken by over
civilized men against savage hordes To beat the
Zuius troops are wanted like our Zephyrs and our
Zouaves, who meet ruse with ruse ana reply to am
buscades by setting traps But the English soldier
is incapable OF such warfare. He cannot fight fast
ing and is not fond Of sleeping in the open air. He
is u soldier of Europe.
The Constitutional concludes this characteristic
article with the expression OF the opinion that the
only thing for Parliament to do is to to terms
with Cetywayo, "who is absolutely victorious and
1 n as
bT1tes better than anything else. -Cotsftfuttoinet
