Nadatid, correspondent of the Paris "Journal," lias interviewed prisoners, inany of whom havo fought on Jboth fronts. They dec-are that in killing capacity tlie British infantry are unequalled, and, therefore, they must be regarded as the best troops. The professional Regulars encountered early in tho war were magnificent. They never shoot blindly. but iiim calmly, as deadly as if on a rifle range. The Frenchmen 1 excel in hand-to-hand fighting, which they always seek to bring about. They, are chargers, but aro apt to shoot high. Tho Russians have the best and most numerous cavalry, which fight equally well on foot or mounted. Tlie staying power of their horses is unequalled.
