The magnificent government establish
ments, and of the superb docks, are
after all, the saddest mementoes of the
terrible siege and capture of the city.
These remain substantially as left by
the all;es. The finest barracks in the
world, built of the nicetl masonry, and
covering a square of nearly a quarter
of a mile, siill stand rotfless and torn,
in hopeless ruin, as do ihe fine hospi
tal buildings, and nearly, or quite, ev
ery other building in the doomed city.
But the destruction of the magnificent
docks, partly hewn out of solid rock,
and partly constructed of solid maaonry,
and filled and regulated in the most in
genious and perfect manner is. after
all, perhaps the very saddest proof of
the barberous nature of war, even
among the most civilized and cultured
nations The destruction of these ad
mirable works tested the ingenuity of
the French and English engineer,yet
their destructive work ' wis perfect.
Scarcely one stone remaics upon an
other; and the very foundations in sol
id rock ara cracked and opened to a
great depth. Such is war, nnd thus
enduring are the bitter consequences
of war after seme fourteen years of
peace.
