Does not this prove that Colonel Outran's a,sertions and tie :acts disclosed in the &tie B. ok are by no means alike? -In p. 18 of his own book Colonel Outrank writes, "It is a singuLer ceineieem-e that the discovery of my in ferior ability should only have be• n owe after Sir Charles Napier was aware ti.at I had tumid it. m-ce , sary, 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 insinua tion is clear *nough, and I beg the reader's attention to the remarks I shall make upon it, that its true value may be ascertains d. Colonel Outram in the same page cites a letter of the 25th January, 1843, to ;,how the high opinion Sir Charles Napier then entertained of his Judgment. From this one of two things is clear, either-Ist, that up to the 25th of January Cain e ! Outlaw had trot advocated the cause of the Arneers, and h a d not condemned Sir Charles Napier's policy ; or , 2,11 y, i f prt.viotnly to 25th of January he did take that course of cordetina t ion, then the h.-air tittAvs that Sir Charles Napier had not been swayed by it to undervalue C.lonel Outram'a judgrzu nt and ability, and this peevish insinuation is shown to be baseless. Ile cannot avoid the dilemma by saving he referred to his owl: statements to the authorities at home, because, in page 6, he says, " In making the revelations which I did to the home authorities, I only gave effect to inten 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. It, 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 unfortAnAte 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 and treated with indignity" (p. 6.), would Sir Charles Napier (whom Colonel Outzam 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. Outram, 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? C.B. &C. rirEGUILDIIALL OCTOBER 24, 1846.

Ido not find that he corrected these alleged erroneous reports, when they appeared, 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 Ameers, 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— " sand we find, by a letter of the Gallant General, of the 30th of the satne month (October) that they (the Atneers) 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.'"

(From the Times.) t l o : m p e a n 3 t , e hg r eh e t e n °fi e l nt t p whol wholly might ac Frenchca n e accept which ou Vir r e informationtheourowv Government rt influence,nm h satisfaction has i r t i l t i inconsistent with truth, honesty, and reason. If we are to believe the Debats, it was the dec'aration made by this journal on the 7th of August which removed all the scruples of the French Government, revealed the whole perfidy of the Forei,gn•office, and hurried on the mar riages of the Spanish Princesses to their unseemly asd untoward consummation! Our article of that date. which occasioned some sensation in Europe, was sup posed at the time to have disclosed and denounced de signs on the part of France, upon suspicions which sub sequent events have shown to be too e ell niunded. have certainly no reason to regret the language we em ployed on that occasion ; for, if it appeared at the timi to be vehement and premature, it is now demonstrated that it was, on the contrary, too late so prevent the evil, and far too feeble to brand this policy ee ti ea •hery and deceit as it deserved. The course of King Louis Philippe has, since that time, heel. " dragged to light from the recesses of diplomatic intrigue." Need we add that it has incurred, as we predicted, " the censure of Europe, and the resent ment of Spain ?" But it seems, according to the last discovery of the organ of the Tuileries, that our object in writing as we did at that time was not to put Spain and Europe on their guard against the intrigues ofloui-- Pnilippe, but to celebrate with the utmost publicity the triumphs of Lord Palmerston's policy for a directly op posite purpose. We are to be regarded as the confede , ates of the Foreign Secretary, for the express purpose of betraying his secret intentions; and Lord Palmerston is accused of conducting an underhand negotiation b' publishing it in our columns. It is needless to repeat that the whole spirit and purport of the article of the 7th of August was to defend the independence of the Queen and monarchy of Spain which has since been si foully trampled on and outraged. We know not how far Lord Palmerston may at that time have shared the opinions we expressed ; we only know, that if he did share them at that time, the Foreign Minister of England would not have chosen a pubie journal as his only or his chief weapon, and it is no orisus we have never had the slightest pretensions to his confidence. But in the whole of this transaction, down to the minutest details in which we are ourselves mixed up, it is not difficult to trace the unscrupulous efforts of the French Government and the French press to extract from the most trifling incidents proofs of in tentions which never had any real existence at all. To carry their own plot into execution, and to justify the secrecy and violence by which alone it could be con summated, they required an alleged counter-plot on the part of England. Nothing was so much desired at the fuller:es as that England should openly or decided') espouse the cause of the Coburg Prince, since that would have left the French Court at liberty to throw on us the whole burden of the treachery which now rests on themselves. No means have been left untried to give r character of reality to what is now a hollow pretext. Queen Christina herself made direct overtures not only to the late Administration but to the present one, professing her readiness and her desire to effect the Coburg marriage, pm ovided she had the support of Eng land. We believe that those proposals were courteously but positively rejected by Lord Palmerston, as they had been by Lord Aberdeen. The British Government declined to interfere, and it acted wisely. There is now great reason to believe that these overtures of Christina in favour of the Coburg Prince were intended as a trap for the English Government; and that if Lord Palmerston had unwarily lent himself to any such negotiation the Queen Mother would have turned the tables upon him, aid left him in the lurch, whilst France would have ac • quired a real justification of the marriage, instead of a flimsy pretext and a clumsy invention. The scheme was worthy of M. Bresson, and of the master he serves. It was defeated, not by the subtle penetration of the Ministers, to whom these insidious overtures wero made, for at that time they had not learned to rank the states men and diplomatists of France among the falsest of their race and proles ion, but simply by the indifference of the British Government to the cause of a Prince who,e success or failure was a matter of no concern to us. It Queen Christina had really chosen to send for the Coburg Prince to Madrid, he required no passport from England. The whole artifice, therefore, failed; and it only deserves to be recorded in the his tory of this transaction, that the only person by whom the Coburg suitor was seriously brought forward was Queen Christina herself. Meanwhile, however, the French Government, eagerly intent on the complete fulfilment of their plans, hurried onwards, relying on the chapter of accidents to furnish them with some scrap of an apology. The siccident of Lord Palmerston's having named the Coburg Prince first, in a dispatch in which he enumerated the rival suitors, and the appear ance of our own observations on the 7th of August, in which we demonstrated that the Coburg Prince had nothing in common with the royal family of England, were seized upon as important disclosures of a design to wrest the throne of Spain from the descendants of Philip V. We are indeed now enabled to comprehend the im moderate importance which was attached by the French Official press to our own remarks on that occasion. They were at first directly attributed to a leading member of the English Cabinet, and when we had dis posed of that falsehood, they were as falsely described as a species of Downing-street ma— !Hest°. The intention of this and many similar exaggerations is n3W perfectly evident. It was thought that they might be used hereafter as proofs of duplicity on the part of Lord Palmerston ; and our article is now deliberately brought forward by the Journal des Debats for this very purpose. The whole structure of this in vention is as loose and groundless as the allegation it is intended to support. If the whole defence of the policy of Louis Philippe rests on the alleged preference of the IBritish Government for Prince Leopold of Coburg, it is false, not only in the whole, but in every part. Years may roll by, and half a century may pass, before another sovereign or another generation of princes yet unborn ascends the throne of Spain ; and it is beyond the grasp of our statesmanship to embrace the revolutions and changes which the world may have witnessed before the dreams of French ambition are realised, and the subjec tion of the Spanish people achieved. But no lapse of time and no change of events can obliterate from the memory of this generation, or from the pages of history, the indelible blot which this transaction has attached to the good faith and good name of Louis Philippe and his Ministers. They set but little value on the respect and esteem of the people of England, since they did not hesitate to sacrifice them to the gratifica tion of their pique against a particular Minister of this country, and to the acquisition of a sullen triumph and an uncertain future in Spain. The marriages which are lust consummated are, however, but the first acts in this passage of history. Their consequences will be deve loped hereafter. The first of them, the most certain, and perhaps the most important, is the destruction of that confidence in, and consideration for the rulers of France, which has for many years been the true basis of the general peace. As they have succeeded in their political contrivances, so they have sunk in the estima tion not only of England but of Europe; and the sternest enemies of the dynasty of Orleans have now reason to boast that it has justified their opinion of its character. SIR CHARLES NAPIER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. but I learn from the Blue Book, ti Colonel Outram thought the Ameers'" mode of warfare"would be,lshould suppose, la) ing waste the country, " looting your camels, and cutting off your foragers: this would be the utmost that they , tould dar•."* Twelve days after he wrote this they fought the battle of Me , anee with 25.000 milt. I learn, too, from the same book, that while Sir Charles Napier fought and won that perilous battle, Colonel Outram burned a wood. I will now give another instance of the veracity of his assailants. Last year some Indian newspaper Maud that he had iposed a transit duty (on inerchancii , e going up the Indus), and ths 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 sate 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 meartane be wrote to - - - - - SlR,—Early in September the Indian mail brought art account of the dreadful ravages of the cholera at Kur rachee, and, at the same time, sta t e ments of the un shrinking dev o ti on with hieh4 Sir Charles Napier at tended the sick an d the dyipg. Even the Bombay Times was forced, by the notorieW of the fact, to admit it into its columns. But still trite to itself—" Natura furca expellas, tamen usque reeurret"—followed up the ad mission by one of its usual attempts to cast obloquy on Sir Charles Napier, alleging that he falsified the revenue accounts, and, by ) means of such falsification, got his own salary raised from 7,000/. to 9,0001. a year —" that the poor, unresisting, overtaxed Hindoo" is made to provide the means for supplying his wasteful expen ,iiture in Sinde, while he, and a few persons under him, are filling. their pockets at the public expense—" that post of the revenue is collected in grain, to enhance its apparent value ; this is sold at an excessive price to th amtractors, and purchased from them at a charge of ourse equally excessive by the commissariat, so that India, its fact, pays doubly a portion of the netted in come of which Sinde pretends to boast.' Some of these accusations are taken from the letter of in "eminent political authority at home." Now I simply lisbelieve the assertion that any " eminent political au thority" has written the alleged letter. I publicly defy , he 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 nante, to make those Statements, and pledge his eminent political" character to the proof of them. The next mail, which arrived soon after, announced the death by cholera of Capt. John Napier, one of the • leneral's nephews, causing deep affliction to a large Family. Capt. Napier's child also perished two days tiefore himself, and though this was not publicly known, Sir Charles Napier's attention to the sick, and the death feel' 0 "1: 81 yet sy' PORTRAITS, At 24, Parliament -street, Westminster; 85, King William-street, City ; il z a. s.

London Shaw and Sons, Fetter-lane, Now, Sir, there is no letter at all from Sir Charles Napier of il_at 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 directors, but which I have not here. Th• "intelligence" from 30th October to November 6th begins with the following sentence :—" I note the daily intelligence I have received during the last Reek 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 an 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 Outram'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. I❑ p. 75 of the . same speech Mr. Sullivan says— "l now come to notice the first important omis sion in this callection of papers (the Blue Book) Major Outram, in reporting to the gallant General, the attack upon his camp, sayl4--` 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 ; be 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, 9:h, 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 the substance of 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 substantively false, though literally true?

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 .hat new shops and settlers were continually appearing in the cantonment; at once diminishing the revenue, and obtaining an unfair advantage over the shopkeepers in the town and the country round. ID 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 ;low make some observations on Col. Outram's conduct towards Sir Charles Napier. Ile 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 me that a ♦ery 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 is still less practicable here than in Mr. Sullivan's case to enter upon the details of this three :years' joint work of Colonel Outran and his friends.

At , he 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 luded (by the letters which my brother, Capt. Henry Niapier, immediately published in the Times and the _Warning Herald) from expressing my sentiments as 'Lilly as I should have otherwise done, though I shall ake this opportunity of declaring my full assent to all he 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 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 Outram speaks of his own forbearance under the attacks made in Parliament and elsewhere on his 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 tomake known to t hose who had a right to interrogate him on the subject." (p. 6.) 1 , 4 by did not his conscience impel him long before to renounce office under the guilty author and perpetrator of this wicked policy, " since nearly a month before the battle of Meeanee be not only c l ear l y f oresaw the sad events that were to follow, b ut d ec l ated to Sir Charles Napier his conviction th a t every life which mi g ht 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.) Ilow 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 ei your friendship and confidence, to require or wish for rther advantages so long as I con tinue with you. I sail 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 yort otherwise intended." (p. 305, appendix of his book.) What! glad of the honour of aiding a murderous po -1 cy—dreading to be released from his service in such a cause and wider such a leader!

I cannot expect that you should print, or your readers examine a long and particular answer to all the vague 4eneralities, the suppressions or perversions of docu mentary evidence, and the baseless assertions which serve as grouting to the slender fabric of Mr. Sullivan's .)ratory ; 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 l3ook. I must meet garbled quotations by supplying which would efface his expose the dishonest inferences long extracts to show :l tha eas t wele. s i fromfl c u ohlu wilfully-omitted ^nn:fgemetraietcrtlhecededs mustsp e a: e tseang w e l b l 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 c .rtainly would not be read generally. As I agree with the French writer who said, "Je liens infininient ii ce qu'on me list," I shall confine my remarks t> a few points that may throw 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 lith Oct., 1842 :—" I have maintained that' that we want only a fair pretext to coerce the Ameers."

In 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. He gave back their ...words wl:ich 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 tAteir - from some Indian newspaper, and probably from the Boa.b.ly Times. I believe the Morning &add admitted this libellous trash into its columns only from the conviction that the grossness of the language and the calumny ‘vould recoil on its authors; for assuredly I have no reason to think that that journal entertains any hub tile feeling ton ards Sir Charles Napier. The following are extracts from the opinions of " this authority in India":— VICTORIA TIN MINING COMPANY. (Late the Wheal Fortune Consols and other Setts.) On the Cost Book System.

The Mines of this Company are situated in the Parish of Saint Stephen's, Branwell, in- Cornwall, on the border of the Parish of Saint Denis, and are held at 1-15 dues for a term of Twenty-one Tears. They comprise some of the most extensive and promisi::g setts in Cornwall, and aro known to contain at least Eight Tin Lodes, which hwe been partially worked, and found to be very productive. SOlll4 of the Lodes are from tour to six feet wide. Nos. 1 and 2 Lodes, as may be seen by the Map, are between two and three feet in width, and the other Lodes are front 18 to 24 inches wide, containing ex cellent tin stuff. The Reports of the Surveyors and Mining Agents are highly en coura_ing, and fully warrant the belief that, by moans of a moderate outlay, under judicious superintendence, the Minos will forthwith realise a liberal profit for the Shareholders. The regulations of the Company provide for the due Registration and Transfer of the Shares, and that Twenty-one days' notice shall be given of every Call thereupon. No Call to exceed Five Shillings per Share, but it is believed no Call be) end the deposit will have to be made. A General M seting of the Pr ,prietors will he held Half-yearly, at which a full report of the Company's affairs will be submitted by the Directors. he liability of the Shareholders is limited to the number and amount of the Shares which may be held by them respectively.

" What wilt thou do, renowned Falconbridge, Second a villain and a murderer?"

It is true, and the reason given by Sir Charles in the Blue Book, p. 454, is that Major Outrarn is the most fit 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 s iys—" I shall keep this memorandurr t open till the arrival of Major Outra t n, and will r e quest o f him t o 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 situation in which he has been placed by the Governor-General, all render very important. If Major O u t ram concurs i n t h e 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 Outran, 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." and SLATE AiI:RION ET US HIRE SL kTE ISLAII COMPANY.

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 i epriat the whole dis patch ; I can only beg of you, or any persons who may be willing to enter on the subject, to read the document itself, in p. 361, No. 379, of the Parliamentary Blue Book, and you will find the whole context opposed 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 interpretation 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 their repeated breaches of treaty, had produced. Throughout the dispatch he places the right and the justice of coercive measures upon the re peated violations of the treaty by the Ameers ; and the policy of such measures upon the benefits that would in time accrue to all parties, and upon the moral certainty, as he believed, that these measures would finally become inevitable, after much intermediate evil. He repeatedly calls Lord Ellenborough's attention to the q uestion, whether the me asures 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. It' there were any shadow of foundation for that interpre tation, Colonel Outram 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 (be 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 Ch ar l es N ap i er h a d common sense , or caution, or regard f or hi s c h arac t er , or any b e li e f t h at Lop de ors c de e s , El s sufficient object to becoming accomplices in his infamous plans. In this instance (as in several o th ers ) S i r Charles Napier made a mistake i n composition, and it has been caught at, not for criticism or ridicule, but to be used as a false witness against his humanity, justice, and honour. If he erred in language, they have sinned in morals; but it is better to break Priscian's head than the ninth com mandment. Mr. Sullivan, according to the reports in The Sun and the Morning H erald, sa y s that Sir Charles Napier "had ac ted diametrically o pp os ite to the orders received f rom t h e Governor-Gener al, but prize -money to th e amoun t of e were fearful incentives to a monstrous ' " In the Times th e words are, ~h is proceedings were i n instances many • tanc es in direct oppo s i t i on to the Governor- General's instructions , and the catastrophe was b roug h t a b o ut by his abus e of p l enary instructions. Prize-money to the extent of 50,000/., a g over norship of 10,000/. a year, i 6 0 0 y ,0 0 0 f 0/ n ~ a governorship of 10,0001. a y ear, t h e colo a reg iment, the i ns i gn i a of the Bath, and a peerage, iniquity. regiment, the insignia of the Bath, the thanks a and of Parliament, and a • Company peerage in prospect, these were fearful temptations to hold out to a man in such circumstances." Whatever were the actual words used by Mr. Sulli van, there can be no doubt that the above reports do, in substance, and unequivocally, impute most wick , d and detestable motives to Sir Charles Napier. Mr. Sullivan, in the Times of the 6th instant, in reply to Captain Henry Napier, says he did not attribute • motives to Sir Cha r les Napier. Now, I attach little The Bombay Times does not perceive that Sir Charles Napier could hardly make the contractors buy grain from him at an e xcessive, when they could get it at a moderate, price in the open market; nor, if the prices were the same, that what the contractors paid could not be excessive; nor, further, if it i%eacemtenruet,ththaet tghaeincotno thetrac intosrspdaeidrelan,eneuxe beingcessi excessive pr i c e, and got it back from the co mm i ssar i a t, th a t there is I:itpaly d°ublecounterbalancedpayment, 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 t The Court of Din ctors published another Blue Book, taditTenertiently paged. I always refer to that laid before Parlia " For two years have our columns contained exposures of the dishonesty, recklessness of truth, injustice, and cruelty indulged in by the General who effected the con quest of SinclE." " 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 fetid 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 Outrun in the first part of his com mentary, they are trivial in comparison with those which the continuation of his book will place before 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 from 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." How 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 society—must forbid such forms of contro versy, though just indignation might authorise them. But oven 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 Duke 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 he apparent from the following statement. In tLe 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 threw months since were sharers of a palace, and in the enjoyment of the honours of royalty, are the degraded Lemans of the Feringliee ! 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 f.r 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. 514-19 of General Wm. Napier's " Conquest of Sinde." 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 Outram, to have been in many instances insane. I cannot pretend to give any opinion on such matters, * Published by Ridgway. f On 15th February, it was not a " camp," but Colone . Outram's residence as agent. The error is of no moment, ex. cept as allowing Mr. Sullivan's inaccuracy. 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 Shaded 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 Outram left 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 evidence (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 Shaded. 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.' rhat's my case, my Lord." In the same page (5), Colonel Outram says, "a waad of my own, the youthful Ameer Hoossam Al i, entru st e d _ to ma by a dying father, and that father a staunch friend of the British nation," Ise. Here is another daring the asser tion totally opposed to evidence in heeßluL chiefo Book, passim. This father was Noor ho Ameer throughout e a n s ry o u P r o b t P i ottinger's time, os and se d v e e s r c i ci be , d an by d I give a few, an p d but a few g , ex unprincipled • tracts from Sir Henry Pottinger's opinion of Noor. In eerin Sir enemy. p. 32, Blue Book, he says, " Noor Mahomed has conti nued to evince the same suspicious, unfriendly, and des• 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 Mahomed's object and hope were to gain a declaration from me, that we would support him against his relations, and then to have turned them against us." P. 39, " His perverseness, no doubt, partly proce , ds from his innate suspicious and treacherous disposition." "It is impossible to trust his * Supplementary Blue fills memorandum is the very dispatch of the 17th of October, 1842, in which the misuse of the word " pretext" occurs; and he enlarges upon several points in it in conse quence of the opinion then given by Colonel °arm At the time he arrived in England a rumour also came that a second battle had been fought and that Sir Charles 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 acc'dent 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 services 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 bad 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 bad 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, he is, I consider, the dearest personal friend I have ; and I should mourn his loss almost as much as any member of his family. But I have no fears on the score 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) ".1. OUTRAM. " 10, Maddox-stfeet, Tuesday morning." How 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 spa& tion ? Do such words as " however Sir Charles and I 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 bitter truth when he said that "len , guage was given to us to conceal our thoughts ?" I am, Sir, &c., Dolgelli, North Wales, Oct. 26.
