CUTHBERT BEDE, B.A.

_"Veni, vidi, vici."_--To these remarkable and well-known words of the

Roman general, I beg to forward two more sententious despatches of

celebrated generals:

_Suwarrow._ "Slava bogu! Slava vam!

Krepost Vzala, yiatam."

"Glory to God and the Empress! Ismail's ours."

It is also stated, I do not know on what authority, that the old and

lamented warrior, Sir Charles Napier, wrote on the conquest of Scinde,

"Peccavi."

Perhaps some of your correspondents could add a few more pithy sentences on

a like subject.
