rlacrlahon's Famous Declaration.

General Sir Michael Biddu1ph has
written highly interesting letter to NJ.
Germain Bapst, the archaeologist and
historical writer. It is on the subject
of the famous words, "J'y suis, ct j'y
reste," uttered by Marshal de MacMa-
hon in the Malakoff during the Crimean
campaign. The authenticity of the
phrase has been much doubted of late.
1t was supposed to be like the up,
guards, and at them," of the Duke of
Wellington, and host of other more
or less apocryphal sentences and mots
handed down by picturesque but un-
scrupulous shistoriographers. NJ. Bapst
accordingly wrote on the subject to
General Sir Michael Bfddulph, and he
has received an elaborate and satisfac-
tory reply. The famous sentence. ac-
cording to this authority, is perfectly
authentic. The British General, who
was in command of the submarine tele
graph service during the closing days
Of the siege of Sebastopol, states that
he saw MacMahon in person directing
splendid and stubbornly fought at
tack on the fort. After having watched
the fighting for some moments, the Brit
ish officer went up to the Marshal and
asked him what he should report to
General Simpson about the position of
the French troops at the Malakoff.
MacMahon turned calmly round, and.
pointing to the fort, said. "All goes well;
you can say that I'm there, and that
mean to stop there" General Sir Mi
chael Biddulph adds in his letter that,
much to his regret. he had never seen
