tons of powder had been landed along the western coast.
In reply to • farther question,
Earl GREY added that the instructions he bad given
extended to the prevention of the trade in arms as well as
gunpowder intended for the enemy.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY expremetl his satis-
faction at the handsome way in which the Duke of Wel-
liegton bad spoken of Sir Harry Smith, and wished to
know if General Cathcart had bees appointed to succeed
him by the enanniander. iiechief, or by the Colonial-orace.
Earl UREY deprecated any irregular discussion on so
painful a subject. For the present the noble mar-
quis must rest satisfied with this much. It ap-
peared to his that, for reasons stated in the de-
spatches, to which the noble marquis bad adverted, that
Wiser ought to he relieved. He consulted his col.
/segues on the subject, and with their unanimous consent
he determined to submit that advice to her Majesty, ulna
coanderations not exclusively military, es thine who read
the despatches would perceive, and as was evidenced by a
meat discussion in that house. No doubt it wee a very
panful duty to relieve Sir Harry Smith; but baying de-
termined upon that rour.e, they did not select any came
Illlcse name should be submitted to the Queen, as his see-
moor, without consulting the highest military authority.
Hs nail consulted the noble duke who sat at the table, and
ha thought that he would bear him out in saying, when he
named General Cathcart as one who might properly be ap-
pended to that responsible sitaatinn. the answer that he
aseeived from the conuatadar-M•chief was that, if Sir Harry

Smith wet* lobs relieved, he did not know any °Seer more
It lobe employed than (h o. Cathcart. This, be hoped, was •
satisfactory answer, u he should decline to go into any
further explanation. Having had a great deal of inter-
course with Sir Harry Smith before he went to the Cape ;
laving the highest respect fee his character ; and believing
him to be an oMeer justly deserving the high reputation
which he bore, it bad been his lot, in the conduct al
pwWie affsirs, to have so painful • duty east on him as to
have to advise her Majesty to recall him ; but believing la
▪ conscience that that measure was necessary, he could
not shrink from performing his duty, painful as it might
