In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly.

At the time he arrived in England a rumour also came that a second battle had been fought and that Sir Charks Napier was killed. I tried to see Colonel Outram, who had brought letters from him to myself and several more of his family. By mere accident I did not see him then, or at all, but I wrote a note to ask if he could give any information respecting this painful rumour, and I ad dressed him as what I then supposed he was—the true and warm friend of my brother. I now copy his answer, which I then kept as the words of a friend. I can still draw some friendly F ervices from them. "E'en drops are welcome from a scanty spring," Let it be remembered that all the events had taken place when this letter was written. Colonel Outram and Sir Charles Napier had parted, and have never since met. The wicked policy and its deadly issues were known to him who foresaw its crimes, and denounced its iniquity, but had worked with the author of them, and who was now about to unfold this dark volume before the eyes of the Government, and not to keep it alto gether closed from the public. " Dear Sir,—l only received your note late last night on my return home, and regret much you should have been so long in suspense regarding your noble brother, who is, I confidently trust and believe, in good health, and doubtless victorious. The only information we re ceived in Bombay up to our departure on the night of the Ist of April was that brought by a native cossid to Corachie, alluded to in the Times. The addition of his death originated God knows where, but certainly not from the only source it could have arisen from, had it been true, for I saw the dispatches from the authorities at Corachie, containing all the information they had received, and, with the exception of the cossid alluded to, whose information they reported, no other commu nication had been obtained. " However Sir Charles and I differ on Indian politics, lie is, I consider, the dearest personal friend I have ; and I should mourn his loss almost to much as any member of his family. But I have no fears on the scorn of the reports you allude to, although I certainly fear that the worry and exposure he will be subjected to, in the conduct of his most arduous task, in such A climate as Sinde, must severely try his health. " I am, my dear Sir, very faithfully yours, (Signed) " J. OUTRAN " 10, Maddox-street, Tuesday morning." [low are such words to be reconciled with his con.? duct ? Was Sir Charles Napier " his dearest personal friend ?" Did Colonel Outram really think him my " noble brother ;" and would he indeed " have mourned. his loss almost as much as any member of his family ?" Or was he, as Colonel Outram's " revelations to the home authorities " (then made and now avowed and ex panded in his work) would imply, the author and per patrator of a policy wrought out by insult, fraud, and murder, to its unrighteous ends of conquest and spol* tion ? Do such words as " however Sir Charles and X differ on Indian politics," suggest that there was any such gulf between them as that which divides violence and fraud from humanity and truth—oppression and war from protection and peace ? Did Talleyrand utter a jesting scoff or a bittor truth when he said that " lan guage was given to u s to concea l our thoughts ? I am, Sir, &c., Dolgelli, North Wales, Oct. 26. RICHARD.

P. 49, "In addition tot vocal proofs of Noor Mahomed's unabated e treachery," I will trouble you with but one ea l - q hl tract, and that is from Sir Henry Pottinger' s letgr,.2t:fr i c January, 1840 (p. 232), to Colon,?1 Outram himself, on Sir Henry's giving up the agency' to him:—" N eer Mahomed is still that intriguing, faithfcls person he 1 ever been." Are these proofs of No or Mahomea's staunch friendship for the British nation? There are many more in the Bine Book. Does not this prove that Colonel Outram's assertions and the facts disclosed in the Blue Book are by no means alike? In p. 18 of his o wn b oo k C o lonel Oatram wr i t e s, "It is a singular coincidence that the discovery of Any in ferior ability should only have been made after Sir Charles Napier was aware that I had found it neces.larY, in the discharge of an imperative duty, to advocate the cause of the Ameers, and in so doing, to condemn the policy he had adopted." The purport of this insinea lion is clear enough, and I beg the reader's attention to the remarks I shall make upon it, that its true value may be ascertained. Colonel Outram iu the same page cites a letter of the 25th January, 1843, to show the high opinion Sir Charles Napier then entertained Colons. Outranei eithe r - 1 st, h er— had n of his ju d gment. From this one of two thinsis :t, thatot d ted th advocated o t c o a the 25 e cathoufse of Janual y Colcnlathe Ameers, and had not conamned Sir Charles Ifapier's policy; or, 2dly, if previously to 25th of January l;e did take that course of condemnation, then the fettiv shows that Sir Charles Napier had not been swayed .. .kV it to undervalue Colonel Outram's judgment and ability, and this peevish insinuation is shown to be baseleos- He cannot avoid the dilemma by saving he referred 10 his own statements to the authorities at home, becaus , . in page 6, he says, " In making the revelations which I P did to the home authorities, I only gave effect to inter, tions of which I had long before apprised Sir Charles Napier!" Now, I must presume that his opposition to. and remonstrances against, Sir C. Napier's policy con tinued through the period in which they acted together. since Colonel Outram must have desired practically to check that policy. I must presume, also, that Colonel Outram, in his home statements, said no more than he thought the facts would justify, and than he had pre viously said to Sir C. Napier himself. If, then, Colonel Outram had acted throughout against Sir C. Napier's policy—had always condemned it to Sir Charles him self—had told him he would state his own views to Go vernment, as he had before to him, and that he would seek " by every means in his power to enlist the sym pathies of those in authority in behalf of the unfortunate Princes, who by a series of unjust acts of oppression, and by the rude violence of their followers, anxious only for the independence of their country, were forced to re sistance and then punished for it, their possessions con fiscated, and themselves sent into captivity an,d treate:l with indignity" (p. 6.), would Sir Charles Napier (whom Colonel Outram insinuates to have been ,swayed by spleen and anger) have applauded him On the 25th January, parted from him with " assurances of regard," and expressed himself respecting Col. Outran,, . .both " orally and in writing, in the warmest and strongest language?" (p. 6.) But if all this be true, if Colonel Outram did so act and speak during his official services with Sir C. Napier, what truth is there in the above in sinuation, and on which of them does it cast most discredit? I have taken the matter for all the above remarks from the first eighteen pages of Colonel Outram's book. and venture to think that they are sufficient to throw some light on the true value of his proofs and assertions and the quality of his hostility. Colonel Outrun speaks of his own forbearance under the attacks made in Parliament and elsewhere on bis public character, and of the duty to himself and his family to vindicate it. Were there not attacks in Par liament and the Court of Proprietors on Sir Charles Na pier? Was he not, there and in newspapers, both here and in India, in pamphlets, reviews, and speeches, repre sented as little less than treacherous to those who em ployed him, as a guilty and wanton shedder of innocent blood, as ignorant, self-willed, tyrannical, a savage sol dier, a sordid, ruthless plunderer? Where was the spring head from which these waters of bitterness were first drawn? Was it not in " the revelations" which Col. Outram's "conscience impelled him to make known to those who had a right to interrogate him on the subject." (p. 6.) Why did not his conscience impel him long before to renounce (Ace under the guilty author and perpetrator of this wicked policy, " since nearly a month before the battle of Meeanee he not only clearly foresaw the sad events that were to follow, but declared to Sir Charles Napier his conviction that every life which might here after be lost in consequence would be a murder?" (p. 4.) What public duty bound or could bind him to continue an actor in any policy which he clearly foresaw " must lead to such crimes?" How could he part from this great criminal, even after the perpetration of his crimes, " with assurances of mutual regard?" (p. 6.) Hovr could he on 27th January, 1843, only three weeks before the battle of Meeanee, write to Sir Charles Napier thus:—" I am too glad of the honour of serving under you, and proud of your friendship and confidence, to require or wish for further advantages so long as I con tinue with you. I shall defer sending this letter" (one disinterestedly refusing to accept any increase of salary), " however, till you dispense with my services, lest it should induce you to do so one day sooner than you otherwise intended." (p. 305, appendix of his book.) What! glad of the honour of aiding a murderous po licy--dreading to be released from his service in such a. cause and under such a leader! " What wilt thou do, renowned Falconbridge, Second a villain and a murderer?" Colonel Outram, by his violent hostility to my brother, by his endeavour to intercept the rewards of his ser vices—to impair his fame—to stain his honour—to brand deeply the characters of infamy on him and shame on us, has forfeited all right to delicacy or forbearance t.,,,...ALia himself, and I shall therefore produce proofs of - __, his opinion of Sir Charles Napier that I would other- . - wise have withheld.

Sin,—Early in September the Indian mail brought an account of the dreadful ravages of the cholera at Kur rachee, and,•at the same time, statements of the un shrinking devotion with which Sir Charles Napier at tended the sick and the dying. Even the Bombay Times was forced, by the notoriety of the fact, to admit it into its columns. But still true to itself—" Natura furea expellas, tamers usque recurret"—followed up the ad mission by one of its usual attempts to cast obloquy on Sir Charles Napier, alleging that ho falsified the revenue accounts, and, by means of such falsification, got his own salary raised from 7,0001. to 9,0001. a' year —" that the p oor , unresisting, overtaxed Ilindoo " is made to provide th e - means for supplying his wasteful expen diture in Sind e , are filling th e i r pockets at the public expense— " that while he, and a few persons under him, most of the revenue is collected in grain, to enhance its apparent val ue ; t hi s is s o ld at an excessive price to the contractors, and p urc h ased from them at a charge of course equally e x cess i v e India, by th e comm i ssar i a t so that ia fact, pays d ou bl y a portion of the netted in come of Mick Sind e p retends to boast. " , Some of these accusations are taken from the letter of an "eminent political authority at home." Now I simply disbelieve the assertion that any " eminent political our thority" has written the alleged letter. I publicly defy the Bombay Times to publish this letter, with the name of the authority; and I defy this " eminent political authority," if any such there be, to come forward, in his own name, to, make those statements, and pledge his " eminent political" character to the proof of them. The nest mail; which arrived soon after, announced the death by cholera of Capt. John Napier, one of the General's nephews, causing deep affliction to a large family. Capt. Napier's child also perished two days before himself; and though this was not publicly known, Sir Charles- Napier's attention to the sick, and the death of my nephew were knowe r having been prdminently stated in several newspapers ; in *a; for many days we heard of the dead and the li‘ine s elft that' painful period only through the newspapers. This was the time chosen by two East Indian proprietors—Messrs. Sullivan and George Thompson (and by the chairman's remarks it would seem chosen somewhat out of the usual course) — for adding to affliction for the death of the young as much bitterness as their malignant aspersions could inflict on the family and friends of an absent man, of whom they had just learned this—that neither age, nor exhausting toil, nor gathering dan gers , nor b ro k en health, nor the greatness of the public calamity, nor the stings of private sorrow could make his heart falter or his spirit slacken in the performance of his duty. At the time this took place I was on a long journey in the north of England, and could not for many days get ac curate accounts of what passed, or the documents neces sary for a reply. Now I am in a great measure pre cluded (by the letters which my brother, Capt. Henry Napier, immediately published in the Times and the Morning Herald) from expressing my sentiments as fully as I should have otherwise done, though I shall take this opportunity of declaring my full assent to all ho has written. There are, however, some points he was not quite aware of, or which the promptness of his reply caused him to overlook. These I will supply, and add some further information about Sir Charles Napier and his traducers. I cannot expect that you should print, or your readers examine a long and particular answer to all the vague generalities, the suppressions or perversions of docu mentary evidence, and the baseless assertions which serve as grouting to the slender fabric of Mr. Sullivan's oratory ; for he and his coadjutor, Mr. Thompson, treat the Court of Proprietors as if it were one of those waste places over which it is written "Rubbish may be shot here." To do this I must enter on the whole history of the policy and the war in Sinde as unfolded in the Blue Book. I must meet garbled quotations by supplying the wilfully-omitted passages, which would efface his false colouring. I must expose the dishonest inferences drawn from detached sentences by long extracts to show that such inferences are wholly at variance with the whole context. In short, I must meet misrepresentations and sophistry by the dull and tedious method of proofs and fair argument—a process that, in such extensive matters, could not be carried out in a public journal, and certainly would not be read generally. As I agree with the French writer who said, "Je Liens infiniment u ce qu'on me list," I shall con fi ne my remar k s to a few points th a t ma y row some light on the cha racter and conduct of those who thus systematically abuse Sir Charles Napier. Mr. Sullivan accuses him of gross premeditated in justice to the Ameers when he first entered Sinde ; and, like several other persons of about equal candour, founds his charge upon those words in Sir Charles Napier's dispatch of 17th Oct., 1842 :—"I have maintained that that we want only a fair pretext to coerce the Ameers." Now, I aver that no man, with ordinary capacity and common candour, who reads the dispatch, can regard this as anything but an improper use of the word " pretext " for just "ground," or some such equivalent expression. Ido not believe that any one of the persons who have harped upon this expression really thought Sir Charles Napier used it in the sense they have tried to affix to it. I cannot ask you to reprint the whole dis patch : I can only beg of you. nr any persons who may' be willing to enter on the subject, to read the document itself, in p. 361, No. 379, of the Parliamentara Blue Book, and you will find the whole context oppdied to the criminal sentiment Mr. Sullivan and others have tried to establish from this incorrect expression. Sir Charles had not maintained that he only wanted "a pretext," for he does not use the word in any previous part of the dispatch. This apparent inconsistency in his own letter would suggest to any candid person a re ference to the previous passages and the general context for the true interpr e t at i on of the word "pretext." In them he rests our right to enforce or alter the treaties, on the ground of the breach of them by the Ameers ; he further points out the benefits his proposed policy would confer on them and their subjects, while he thought the rigid observance, on our part, of the existing treaties would be impossible, under the state of insecurity that the hostile disposition and the vicious government of the Ameers, together with t h e i r repeated breaches o f treaty , had produced. Thr oug h out the dispatch he places the right and the justic e o f coercive measures upon t h e re peated violations of th e treaty by the Ameers ; an d t h e policy of such meas ures upon the benefits that wou ld i n time accrue to all pa r ti es, and upon the mora l certa i nty , as he believed, that these measures would finally become inevitable, after much intermediate evil. He repeatedly calls Lord Ellenborough's attention to the question, whether the measures proposed were "just," "honest," " humane," " dishonourable," " harsh." He speaks of a "fair pretext," and, however inaccurate these terms may be, a "fair pretext " certainly cannot be intended to mean afoul one. Sir Charles Napier showed the dis patch to Colonel Outran; who " concurred in all he had said in the foregoing paragraphs," and gave him fuller local information, in consequence of which he goes more fully into various points. Colonel Outram also made written remarks (p. 368, Blue Book) on the dispatch, and the whole were sent to Lord Ellenborough. Neither by spoken nor written words does Colonel Outram ap pear to have objected to this ill-chosen term, or to have suspected that it could be perverted as it has been. If there were any shadow of foundation for that interpre tation, Colonel Outran is as guilty as Sir Charles Napier. Further, Sir Charles's folly must have been as daring as his immorality. He knew Lord Ellenborough only as Governor-General (he has not to this day seen him), yet he scrupled not, according to the interpreta tion of Mr. Sullivan and others, at once to declare to him that he was only seeking for a pretext to commit injustice. He broadly proclaims his own iniquitous de signs to all the authorities he was serving -under —to the Governor-General, to the East India Directors, and the Ministers of the Crown —and he confidently addresses Lord Ellenborough, as if sure of his ready acquiescence and participation in the iniquity. Such are the absurdi ties; into which the headlong malice of his traducers have led them. Their interpretation is incompatible with the whole context of the dispatch, with the suppo sition that Sir Charles Napier had common sense, or caution, or regard for his character, or any belief that Lord Ellenborough and Colonel Outram could possibly possess sufficient integrity or self- res p ec t, or even pru dence, to object to, becoming acco m pli ces i n hi s i nfamous plans. In this instance (as in several others) Si r Ch arles Napier made a mistake in compositio n , an d i t has been caught at, not for criticism or ridicule, b u t to b e used as a false witness against his humanity, justice, and honour. If he erred in language, they have sinned in morals; but accor ding to the reports in The Sun and it is better to break Priscian's head than the ninth com mandment. • Herald, says that Sir Charles Napier "had opposite to the orders received from acted diametrically the Governor-General, but prize-moneylo () to the amount of 60,000/., go . vernors t h it i o p of the Mr /ii insignia of talayee ß ar a , th the codlo oSrnuilnligvan, nelcy of a regiment, to monstrous i • an d a . catastrophe was In the Times the words opposition , g were in to the Cs many instances in directndoyernor laenary instructions.

Now, I attach little motives to Sir Charles and detestable motives to Sir Charles N • 31 value to this denial, for the following reasons:—l find, in the only three papers I have been able to procure, that he did, in substance, impute motives; and I have no reason to suppose that three reporters agreed to falsify the matter of his speech. • I do not find that he corrected these alleged erroneous reports, when they sippeared, as he was bound, in justice - to himself and Sir Charles Napier, to have done. And lastly, in his speech* on the case of the Atucers, at' a special Court in January, 1844, I find by the following instance how little credit is due to Mr. Sullivan's fairness or accuracy. In page 73 of that pamphlet he says— " And we find, by a letter of the Gallant General, of the 30th of the same month (October) that they (the - Ameers) were apprised - of the Governor-General's inten tions, and that it was only with a view to resist the meditated encroachments of the English, and under the alarm caused by our formidable military preparations, to coerce them, that they began to make preparations for defence, that their measures and preparations were then, by the Gallant Generals own admission, ' merely defen sive.' " Now, Sir, there is no letter at all from Sir Charles Napier of that date, and there is no letter to the above purport of any date from Sir Charles Napier, in the Parliamentary Blue Book. nor (as I am assured by a person on whose accuracy I can rely) in the Blue Book pub lished by the director; but which I have not here. Th e "intelligence" from 30th O cto b er to November 6th begins with the following sentence :—" I note the daily intelligence I have received during the last week as dis playing the temper of the chiefs, under the alarm caused by the suspicious appearance of troops delaying here ; all their measures and preparations, however, are merely defensive, and will lead to nothing offensive, I con sider.'—B. 8., p. 433. The substance, and some of the very words of this sentence, are attribnted to Sir C. Napier, by Mr. Sullivan, who founds en argument against him upon them, while the sentence is really written by Colonel Outram to express his own opinion, and his name is signed to the document. Further, Mr. Sullivan, who professes to be minutely acquainted with the documents, must have known that Sir Charles Napier's opinion, through nearly the whole period, was opposed to Colonel Outraw's on the question of the Ameers' hostile inten tions, and this knowledge alone should have checked him, when speaking, and when preparing for publication the passage I have cited, and should have caused him to re-examine accurately such an improbable statement. But in this, as in other instances, the object . in view was not truth and justice but matter for invective against Sir Charles Napier. In p. 75 of the same speech Mr. Sullivan says— "l now come to notice the first important omis sion in this collection of papers (the Blue Book) Major Outram, in reporting to the gallant General, the attack upon his camp, saysf —‘ My dispatches of the last few days will have led you to expect that my earnest endeavours to affect an amicable settlement of Sinde would fail.' Not one of these important letters are given—most important, for in them the Major must have apprised the General of what was passing day by day in his conferences with the Ameers ; he must have told him that the Ameers were about to sign the treaty—had actually signed the treaty," &c. What can the reader think of Mr. Sullivan's accuracy in assertion, when I tell him that there are in the Blue Book, p. 502, &c., nearly five folio pages of Colonel Outram's notes of his conferences with the Ameers, on the Bth, 9th, 12th, and 13th of February, 1843, relating the very matters alluded to in the above extract from his pamphlet? Will Mr. Sullivan answer that he was speaking of "dispatches and letters, " not of " notes?" Can he deny that th e su b s t ance o f the conferences is to be found in these notes, and that the dispatches them- selves must have been framed from them, and that his complaint is therefore substanti ve ly fa lse, though literally true? Di his late speech, according to the three reports I have seen, he says the Ameers were imprisoned after Sir Charles Napier had given " an assurance" that if they "remained quiet" no harm would come to them—in the Times, " a solemn assurance that they should re ceive honourable treatment, and should not be harmed." Where does Mr. Sullivan find such assurance or what proof does he offer of it? Sir Charles Napier promised only to spare their lives, but he performed more. He did use them honourably. lie gave back their swords which he might fairly have kept. He left them in pos• session of their palaces and gardens. He allowed their followers and attendants free access to them. He allowed 800 well-armed Beloochees to guard their Zenanas, and he treated them with respect and lenity till he found that they availed themselves of this freedom to carry on a treacherous correspondence with Shere Mahomed, who was a few miles off, at the head of an army of above 20,000 men, with which he fought the battle of Hyder abad in less than ten days after. In the Morning Herald I find the opinion of what Mr. Thompson calls " a talented writer in India," and " an authority in India." They are evidently taken from some Indian newspaper, and probably from the Bombay Times. I believe the Morning Herald admitted ,this libelous trash into its columns only from the conviction that the grossness of the language and the calumny would recoil on its authors; for assuredly I have no reason to- think that that journal entertains any hostile feeling towards Sir Charles Napier. The following are extraets from the opinions of " this authority in India":— " For two years liaVe our columns contained exposures of the dishonesty, recklessness of truth, injustice, and cruelty indulged in by the General who effected the con quest of Sinde." " Colonel Outram has at length come be fore the world, and made an exposure of profligacy and po litical incapacity on the part of Sir Charles Napier which far surpasses aught that has appeared in our co lumns." " Our limits will not permit us to trace all the acts of violence, all the infringements of ratified treaties, all the flagrant breaches of most solemn promises, all the falsehoods, quibbles, and evasions in which Sir Charles Napier indulged, but we implore such of our readers as have not already perused Colonel Outram's work to do so with the utmost care." . . "Its (truth's) beams will in due course of time dissipate the mists which now screen this great bad man from the contempt and indignation of his countrymen." . . . " The Horse Guards may continue to caress the General whom the humblest private serving under him can taunt with falsehoods; Ministers may throw over him the mantle of their protection; and the nobles of England may deem it no derogation of their honour to associate and acknowledge their con nexion with a man convicted of every disqualification for a British officer save cowardice and military , unskil fulness; but the moral sense of Britain will, we feel con fident, ere long, assert its claims, and express itself with an energy which will cover with confusion the criminal and his abettors. Melancholy as are the revelations made by Colonel Outram in the first part of his com mentary, ieeentietehaetyan of his book will retrivial in wi comparison plaee hweiftehrethe those which the public. Hitherto the reader has but known Sir Charles Napier as a violent and tyrannical oppressor of the weak and un resisting, and as the reckless promulgator of fictions : it remains for Colonel Outram to exhibit him, and we trust he will not shrink from the duty, as the falsifier of dates in support of charges which he knew to be unfounded ! And yet we shall be told that he is an honourable man, chivalric, and a hero! a fit associate of England's aris tocracy, a credit to the knighthood, worthy of the Duke's regards, and far front a disgrace to that army whose soul is honour, an army that would ignominiously expel from its ranks any humbler man convicted of one of Sir Charles Napier's many deliberate departures from truth." Ilow am I to reply to such accusations conveyed in such language ? If I should say that the inventors, writers, and propagators of them are some of the foulest, falsest, and most calumnious of scoundrels, though it would be a mere dry exposition of a fact, in barely adequate language, yet my own self-respect—that which is due to you, to your readers, and to the good taste and feeling of satiety—must forbid such forms of contro versy, though just indignation might authorise them. Bet even if such respects were overborne by the strong impulses of contumelious wrong, and although few among the just and generous would blame me severely, yet mere prudence would compel me to abstain from a mode of contest in which I must be finally defeated by those who can draw their facts and their language from that " pure well of English undefiled," the Bombay Times. Under these denunciations I must leave leave Sir Charles Napier to such consolation as he may find in the support of the Horse Guards and the Duko of Wel lington, the protection of the Ministry, and the counte nance and society of the aristocracy of England. When the troops under him, and his countrymen at home, re cognising the Bombay Times as the exposition of their sentiments and opinions, shall declare their " contempt and indignation" at this " great bad man," it will be time enough to defend him from this " wide mouth"— " That speaks plain cannon fire, and smoke, and bounce." The confidence the troops under Sir Charles Napier must have in the truth and opinions of that paper will be apparent from the following statement. In the Bombay Times of 6th May, 1843, an article appeared headed " The Ladies of the Ameers' Zenanas ; ' and concludes thus, " where are they now ? They, who three months since were sharers of a palace, and in the enjoyment of the honours of royalty, arc the degraded Lemans of the Feringhee ! So it is, the harem has been defiled ; the last drop of bitterness has been mingled with the cup of misery we have given the Ameers to drink, the heaviest of insults Mahomedans can endure has been heaped upon their grey, discrowned heads." And so it proceeds in the same strain, explicitly saying " the most attractive of the ladies of the Zenana now share the tents of British officers." The officers appealed to Sir Charles Napier for pro tection to their characters, and for permission to answer the charge. He not only consented to this, but addressed the officers in writing, confirming every word of their denial, while he indignantly exposed the utter falsehood of this slanderous fabrication. The whole transaction is fully stated in pp. 514-10 of General Wm. Napier's " Conquest of Sincle." The appeal to Sir Charles Napier was signed by above 100 English officers, of all ranks, whose names are there given. The rottenness which Sir Charles Napier then laid bare has since never ceased to exhale its pestilential odour. Sir Charles Napier's military conduct is declared by Messrs. Sullivan and Thompson, on the authority of Colonel Outrare, to have been in many instances insane. I cannot pretend to give any opinion on such matters, C oe n s t.r not h the priced Were the saamrlees, him at an excessive, when they could get it at a moderate, pride iii Ole open niii=,; N-------rt-71Thi:piTerhecollulijdnibearetntinsakc the contractors buy gra i n froth that what the contractors paid could not be excCZ2ve I nor, further, if it were true that the contractors paid an excessive price, and got it back from the commissariat, that there is not a double payment, the gain to the Sinde revenue being simply counterbalanced by the increased cost of the commis. sariat. It must surely be the precipitancy of passion that has betrayed into such absurd assertions the intellect that Dr. Buist tells us himself superintended the magnetical, meteorological, and astronomical establishments at Bombay! - I . The Court of Directors published another Blue Book, differently paged. I always refer to teat laid before Parlia meat. Published by Ridgway. t On 15th February, it was not a "camp," but Colonel Outram's residence as agent. The error is of no moment, ex cept to showing Ur, sulliyan'§ ultwouracy. but I learn from the Blue Book, that Colonel Outram thought the Ameers' "mode of warfare"would be Ishould suppose, laying waste th e country, "looting your' camels, and cuttin g o ff your f oragers : this would be the utmost that they would dare."' Twelve days after he wrote this they fou g ht th e b att l e of Meeanee with 25,000 men. I learn, too, from the same book, that while Sir Charles Napier fought end won that perilous battle, Colonel °ottani burned a wood, I will now give another instance of the veracity of his assailants. Last year some Indian newspaper stated that lie had imposed a transit duty (on merchandise going up the Indus), and this was copied into many of the English journals. It surprised me at the time, as I knew he had previously abolished that duty, and his pri vate letters constantly expressed an anxious desire to diminish all taxation. Still this might have been true, and I was not in a position to contradict it, but I wrote to him upon the subject. In the meantime he wrote to another person of his family the following words:—" I only yesterday read a whole column in three newspapers say ing—' Really the Government must interfere with this man and not allow him to go on in this manner! (besides all sorts of insulting epithets which I forget), and for what? for putting on a transit duty and increase ing taxation." The fellow now finds that his hypocri tical falsehoods are gradually exposed by facts, and that he cannot go on.' Well, you would imagine there was something on which an exaggeration was based! Not a bit. I have never put on a single tax in Slade, good, bad, or indifferent, or revived a single tax that had be come absolete. I have abolished several, and among the rest the transit tax, the very first of alll and by Lord Ellenboraugh's orders, who at once levelled that and the slave trade. The answer to my letter of inquiry whether there was any ground N't hatever for the satement, was in substance as follows :—By the original treaties with the Ameers, provisions and supplie s w hi c h en t ere d our cam p an d cantonments were exempted from the duties otherwise payable on such articles. This was necessary to prevent the Ameers from ruinously raising, by means of high duties, the price of provisions to our troops, or even starving them altogether. After Sinde was taken pos session of this necessity ceased ; but as the revenue was for some time collected according to the existing sys tem, the exemption remained unnoticed till Sir Charles Napier's attention was drawn to the fact, by observing that new shops and settlers were continually appearing in the cantonments, at once diminishing the revenue, and obtaining an unfair advantage over the shopkeepers in the town and the country round. He determined, therefore, that whatever duties were payable should be paid by all alike. Then (to use his own words) " a warwhoop was raised against him, as a monster of folly." Various predictions were made of the wrong he was about to inflict on the troops, and so forth ; but he per sisted, and the result was that the troops got their pro visions at the same price as before (for when the shop keepers in the cantonments tried to raise their prices, the troops went to the town to buy their goods), and those who had hitherto unfairly escaped the duties and put the amount in their pockets, were now obliged to pay them, like the rest of the people in the town and country. I shall now make some observations on Col. Outram's conduct towards Sir Charles Napier. He and his friends, above three years after the events passed, have compounded a work (literally a thing of shreds and patches) which we are told is to destroy Sir Charles Napier's character for military skill, policy, truth, humanity, integrity, and justice—even personal timidity is insinuated against him. Col. Outram's opinion, Col. Outram's statement, and Colonel Outram's book seem to be the great mine which supplies, in the shape of speeches, letters, journals, reviews, and pamphlets, much of the dross and refuse with which his followers have encumbered the public. I do not know whether the whole work is yet published. I have seen only the first part ' • and though I have looked at various passages of it, I have hitherto been able to examine carefully only fifty pages. I say carefully, for Colonel Outram's skill in the less creditable arts of controversy soon con vinced ins that a very careful collation of his quota tions with the original words, with the passages bearing on the question, which he has omitted, or given only in his own language, and of his assertions with the facts as disclosed in the Blue Book, was essentially ne cessary. It i; still less practicable hero than in Mr. Sullivan's case to enter upon the details of this three fears' joint work of Colonel Outram and his friends. I will, how ever, draw out some of the rotten threads with which the web is woven, as it may induce those who are dis posed to read, or review, or draw their facts from Colo nel Outram's work, to sift it fairly and thoroughly before they take it as their text-book. In p. 3, when claiming for himself " a practical and accurate knowledge of the characters of its (Sinde's) princes and its peopl e ," h e says t h ey are " qualif i cations L for which Sir Charles Napier has never disguised his i contempt." Here he proffers largely to enlist the reader's f judgment in favour of himself, and against the presump ; tion of one who scorns all other men's knowledge; yet L in the same page, a few lines lower down, we are told ' that he communicated the results of his experience to Sir Charles Napier, " who then bore very handsome testimony to the value of the information supplied." Again, in the same page he states, that a requisition had been made for his services by Sir Charles Napier. It is true, and the reason given by Sir Charles in - the Blue Book, p. 434, is that " Major Outram is the moit — fif person. He has more local knowledge than any man here, and has the most unwearied zeal for the public service." Again, in the Blue Book, p. 364, Sir Charles Napier says—"lshall keep this memorandamj open till the arrival of Major Outran; and will request of him to peruse it, that he may give his opinion upon the view which I have taken, an opinion which his experience of these countries, his abilities, and the high si t uat i on i n which he has been placed by the Governor-General, all render very important. If Major Outram concurs in the opinions which I have ventured to express, they will be strengthened; if not, the Governor-General will be made acquainted with the opinions of one possessing great local knowledge. In his instructions to Colonel Outram, in p. 497, he says, " should any ar rangement (in the details of the new draft treaty) strike you, by which all or any of the parties concerned may be benefited, and which your great experience in Upper and more especially in Lower Sinde, renders very pro bable, you are requested to propose such arrangement to me, that I may, if necessary, submit the same to the Governor-General for his Lordship's decision, it being always understood that such modification or arrangement be not contrary to the spirit and principle of the draft treaty, as signed by the Governor-General subject to confirmation.' I could give more passages to a similar effect, from the dispatches of this man, who never disguised his con tempt for practical and accurate knowledge, but these are surely enough to meet Colonel Outram's unscrupu lous assertion. In page 5, speaking of the attack on the Resi dency, he says —" Their spoliation and imprison meat had been justified solely on the grounds of a trea cherous attaelt on myself ; not only did I know them, with the exception of Meer Shadad, to be entirely guiltless of all participation direct or indirect in that attack, but, I know further, that to their protection I owed my life." Let me here appeal to the common sense of your readers, to ask, if any man is entitled to declare, in this unqualified manner, that none but Shadad took any part " direct or indirect" in that attack ? How could Col. Outram know this? Would the declaration of the parties themselves be conclusive in his, or anybody's judgment? Yet on such evidence he acquits them, and condemns Sir . C. Napier. More over, Colonel Outramleft Sinde on the sixth day after this attack. Three of those days were spent in actual warfare, and I take leave to doubt whether, between the 18th of February, the day on which the Ameers sur rendered, and the 21st of February, when Colonel Outram left Sinde, he had many opportunities of investigating this matter, or availed himself of them. - But if he relies on the evidence of the Beloochees (and what other can he have?), is similar evidence to be wholly omitted or rejected when it directly contradicts his assertions? At the end of the supplementary Blue Book, pp. 136, &c., it is stated that Meer Nusseer, of Khyrpore, and many chiefs of lesser note, were there—Meer Mahomed Khan, a cousin of Shadad, was wounded at the attack on the Residency (p.. 510 Blue Book). Meer Nusseer of Hy derabad is said to have ordered the attack the night be fore; Meer Sobdar is also said [to .have desired Meer Gholam Shah, who was in his service, to join in the at tack. This evidatare (with the exception of that relating to Meer Mahomed being wounded) is given by Meer Gholam Shah, his brother, Meer Fuzzil Ali, nephew of the chief Ameer Mahomed, and by Meer Bijjur, the brother-in-law of Shadad. Why is Colonel Outram's alleged knowledge of the perfect innocence of all the Ameers except Shadad to outweigh the ex press evidence of these men, as to specific acts ? Are these questions to be decided by Colonel Outram's broad and absolute assertions of his knowledge of the Ameers' innocence, and that in the teeth of opposite evidence ? Really his mode of proving his case resembles that of the counsel, who said, " My Lord and gentlemen of the jury, Sarah Huggins is indicted for stealing Mary Thompson's cap. She did steal it, did'nt she, Mary ? Yes, sir.' That's my case, my Lord." In the same page (5), Colonel Outram says, "a ward of my own, the youthful Ameer Hoossam A entrustedli,end is to me by a dying father, and that father a staunch friend of the British nation," &c.

I give a few, and but a few, ex tracts from Sir Henry Pottinger's opinion of Noor. In p. 32, Blue Book, he says, " Noor Mahomed has conti nued to evince the same suspicious, unfriendly, and dos picable conduct." P. 35, " The great difficulty I have in arriving at any positive conclusion as to what Noor Mahomed Khan will do springs from his utter and abandoned want of either truth or shame." P. 38, "It seems to me very evident that Noor Mahorned's object and hope were to gain a declaration from me, that we would support him against his relations, and then to hare turned them against us." P. 39, " His perverseness, no doubt, partl) proceads from his innate suspicious and treacherous disposition.".
