I must address special congratulations to General Forgemol, whose supreme command has been exercised with rare wisdom; to General Delebecque, who led the column which took the principal part in the operations; to General Logerot, who knew how to give _une energigue impulsion_ to his soldiers; to General Bréart, who represented our country under _difficult circumstances_, as well as to the generals and superior officers under their orders. These services will not be forgotten. Every one who has taken part in the campaign has earned the gratitude of the Republic. The Minister of War, (Signed) FARRE. At the very time when General Farre’s proclamation was issued, the streets of Marseilles were witnessing the unedifying spectacle of a _chasse aux Italiens_ as a melancholy sequel to the _chasse aux Khamírs_. On the evening of the 17th June, as a portion of the expeditionary corps were defiling in triumphal procession through the “capital of the South,” General Vincendon heard, or thought he heard, furtive hisses issue from the Italian Club. Turning towards the building he exclaimed aloud, “_Merci, Messieurs les Italiens_.” This incautious expression bore disastrous fruit, and for three days not an Italian’s life was safe in Marseilles. It was afterwards proved that the Italian hisses were as imaginary as the _Khamír_ raids. A French gentleman, who was on the balcony of the building in question at the time (M. Gibon), hastened to publish an emphatic refutation of General Vincendon’s ill- timed accusation in the following terms:— I, the undersigned, a Frenchman standing on the balcony of the Italian National Club on the afternoon of the 17th, when the troops passed, formally protest, out of respect for the truth, against the accusation that the hisses were given from that balcony. Neither I nor any other person in my company made any manifestation hostile to our valorous soldiers, and I should have been the first to repress any such act, and to denounce its author. I declare that the rooms of the Club were empty at that moment, and that the only persons present were Signor Tonietti and his son Enrico Pierruzzini and Raffaello Pirri, who were on the balcony with me.
