NEWS BY THE ENGLISH MAIL.

SIR GEORGE BROWN ON THE WAR.

A public dinner was given on 'I‘uesrlay last, the lltli inst., at Elgin, to General Sir George Brown. Just as‘thc people were gathering in the High-street, in expectation ofsccing Sir George enter the town, and with it view ofgiving him a hearty welcome, tidings were brotiglit of the fall of Scbasto- pol, and the greatest excitement at once prevailed. The bells otthe churches rang a merry peal, the fountain in the square was set a-playing, banners were got out on all the public buildings, and Elgin had iii- deed a gala day.

The Provost was called to the chair, and was supported by the Duke of Richmond, Sir George Brown, his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe \Vcimar, and many other distinguished persons, among whom were several wounded oﬁicers from the Crimea. Major Cumming Bruce, M. P., and the Earl of March discharged the do- ties of Croupicrs.

Sir George Brown, in replying to the toast of his health, made the following allu-

sion to the war in thc East:-—speaking of

the army he said—“ Gentlemen, I can truly say,that this constancy and endurance have been and are above all praise (“ hear” and loud applause) only, indeed, to be equalled by their conduct before the enemy, for Bri- tish troops have never behaved better than they have done in this campaign. (Great applause.) I hope the news we have heard this evening will prove of great importance, and that we shall be able to do something decisive, for hitherto we have been ﬁghting with one arm tied. We have not been able to move the army, because we depend upon our ships for every ounce of provisions and every morscl of forage and every truss of hay we consumed. It was impossible to move the army to pass the Tchernaya and march upon the Russians without leaving at least 90,090 men upon the plateau to sustain our position there. We could not leave our ground and enormous material there to go out and attack them; they would not only have got our guns, but they would have obtained possession of points of a po- sition which we never could have regained from them. They would have established themselves upon the hi h round in the way they previously estahlishcif themselves upon the low ground, and the consequence would have been, that we should have been be- sieged, instead of besieging them, in our own harbour. (Hcar.) We have now got possession of the south side of the harbour, which is, in fact, all the town, and, our troops will be able with a smaller force to maintain the road to Mackenzie’s Farm. They will cross the Tchernaya, and we shall be able to ﬁght our enemy upon open round; whereas before we could only ﬁght them throu h the town. (Cheers.) Imay say, that til now we were tied by the leg. The R.ussian army, it must be remembered, has fre uently been superior in number to ours. cl\Iind you, the Russians have not been acting in regard to their army, as we have been doing to ours, or as any other State in Europe has been doing; for, wliilo we have been improving our civil institu- tions mainly, egad, they have been payin no attention to anything but their army. Russia is the most gigantic military power ever seen u on earth. She has an artillery never equal ed. Just let me mention, that while we and the French brought up our siege trains, consisting of the usual four-

3 inch niortars, why, Sir, these fellows brought :agalnst us guns which threw into my own ;camp shot of no less weight than S6lb.,

tvliilc the size oftheir shells also out-match- ted ours. In this country ofours, we have tfostered the spirit of freedom of opinion; abut there is one disadvantage attendant on ;this. You meet with people sometimes who jllllllk they know everything. (Hear, hear, land laughter.) There are a good many lwho faitcy they know people’s business 5 much better than themselves. (Hear, hear.) ‘Tito consequence of this feeling is, that we

have had more great Generals and Admi-

rals at the clubs and cotfceliouses, than we ‘ ‘had in the army and navy. (“ Hear,” and _lllllglllCl'.:I It would be no very difficult imattcr, however, to show that every move- ment which has been made by that Eastern In-my there has been good reason for. (Cries of “ I-Icar, hcar.”) Let me allude to one or two circumstances connected with those inovetncnts. The troops were sent without any speciﬁc plan ofoperations; the only thing they were told was to occupy certain lines at Gullipoli, joining the Sea of Marmora, so as to intercept the Russians coming down and retreating from the Bos- phortis. I'IttVlllg done this, the Russians in the mcnntiine crossed the Danube, and set to work in besicging Silistria. Omar Pachn was extremely envious,that we should send troops to Verna. We have been told

remembered that we could not leave Varna. till the Austrians had taken steps for keep- ing the peace in the principalities. (“ Hear,” and cheers.) The next diﬂicul- ty was connected with the advance at the VVc are told that Lord Raglan was very wrong in taking the bull by the horns, but I think he did quite right. He saw that iflie got out from the plain he had no cavalry. The Russians were in such force in the centre that the possibility was that they would have made an attack, and cut up the ttvo armies; and I‘ain ofopinion, therefore, that my friend did quite right in taking the btill by tltc horns. \\'e suffered, no doubt, deeply last winter; and some people say that we should have done better if we had attacked the north side at first. This perhaps looks pretty plausible; btit if we had attempted to lay siege to the north side, we must have had one army to carry on the siege, and another to keep off the enemy. But, independently of that, we could not have safely abandoned our posi- tion for two days, it's we might have lost the harbour, and thereby our means of obtain- ing provisions and material. The slightest breeze raises such a surf on that coast that it is reitdercd impossible for a landing to be effected but at certain points, and the army, I am sure, would have been lost when the gales of November occurred. I am not aware that there are any further points in

that they were sent to die of cholera. in a swamp. I tell you, gentlemen, there was no swamp at Varna at all. Instead of ti. swamp, we had the most beautiful ground you could imagine. It was like the finest English park with the ﬁnest water you could wish. (Iiear.) I do not consider therefore that we are indebted to the coun- try in the slightest degree for the disease that occurred there, and particularly for this reason—that the troops who had never been at Vsrna suffered more than those who had been there. And there is another reason. The sailors ofthc two ﬂeets which had been lying at Varns suffered twice as much as the troops on shore. Remember also, that by going to Varna we saved Sil- listrie. The Turks made a very gallant defence there, but it was not the defence that made the Russians raise the siege of Silistria and retire behind the Danube—it was the presence of 70,000 troops at Var- na. (I-leer.) We are further told, that we should have gone two months earlier to the Crimea, but it so happened that we could not go. Omar I’acha's army of60,000 men could not be left to the tender mercies of 150,000 ofthe enemy. (Hear, hear.) But another reason was, that we had gone out with no speciﬁc plan of campaign, conse- quently the attack of the Crimea was never heard of by the army till July, and when we heard of it, we knew nothing of the ground at all, or even whether there was a place that we might land at. The admiral

had no flat-bottomed boats, and such as we got we had to improvise. The only thing, indeed, we had in this respect was the Y paddleboats of the steamers; and I need I not tell you that most of our war steamers, " having now reverse propellors, have nol paddles, and, consequently, no paddleboats. Our resources, therefore, in this way, were not at all suﬁicient, and we had to go down to Constantinople to make provision for the disenibarlting of the troops. We bought up all the csiques ofthc country and joined them together, and this way we made very good means for landing. (Cheers.) We are next blamed for the late period of the season at which we landed, but it should be

connexion with this subject thatl need refer to. But as people are frequently asking me about these things, I thought I might take this opportunity ofgiving an answer to some of their quctions. (Hear.)

A GREAT BLESSING T0 ‘rut: AFFLICTED.

The number and furmidablecharacter ofdiseaaes of the Liver have long challenged the attention of medical men. Some of these diseases, classed under the gcneralter in of Consumption, have been supposed incurable and the unhappy patient allowed to die, withcut medical source to offer him a hope of recovery. Happily this can no longer be the case. rem y has been found which will care all complaints, of whatever character, arising from derangement ofthe Liver. The Pills discovered by Dr. M‘Lsne. of Virginia, act directly on the Liver; and by correcting its operation and purifying it from disease, cut off and extirpate the complaints which have their origin in the disease of this organ. Remedies hitherto proposed for liver complaints, have failed to operate upon the seat of the disease; but Dr. M'Lsne’s Pills make themselves felt a on the action of the Liver, and by cleansing the ountsin dry up the impure streams of disease which thence derive their existence.

[IT Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. MLane's Celebrated Liver Pills, and take none else. There are other Pills, purporting to be Liver Pills, now before the public. Dr. ‘Lsno’s Liver Pills, also his Celebrated Vertnifugc, can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores in the United States and Canada.
