satisfaction wee felt by a samba of persons who had been

and whose iaterests were likely to be affected by the change

Becesees were committed, and a deplorable event marred.
The two gentlemen Is kergalluded to were barberossly mur-
dered. flow far the rebel chief was condone of the atroci-
ties which were committed it was not foe him to say, but he
at owe panned himself of the town of Moaltan and
the constry around it. Very shortly after, the insur -

tier, and la a few weeks there sallied forth against the au-
thority et this country and the Rut India Company hordes

territories. trader time circumstance's efforts had to be
made to defend these territories. No time was lost in pre-
paring as ens he that purpose, and in a short time en
army as formidable as had ever been seen in India was raked
by the Sleets of the governor-general. During the whole
summer sad autumn of lut year these events gave rise to a
sueceadon of murderous ce n&ts and desperate battle', with
the particulars of which he would not trouble their lord-
ships; it was enough to say that there was not one
of them in which the greatest valour, ability, and
courage was net displayed by the British army.
(Hear, hear.) And it was but just to say that these engage-
ments had exhibited in a striking point of view the MOM
and bravery of the oppteng pada engaged in a most des-
perate conflict fur that which they summed to be their beet
interests. (Hear, hear.) But he world at once pus on to
'he events which celled tor the particular attention of their
lordships. In the month of Feb72,defter various actions
had taken pleat, there arose a when Lord Gough,

meant the Sikhs and the Affghene—people p,ee:slag a
_dif-
ferent faith, bat both remarkable for having attained a
greater degree of discipline under the training of European
office,' then any of the other tribes of Asia. (Hear, hear.)
The army of the opposing forces consiated of about
60 000 men and 59 pieces of cannon for they had
brought al their arms—every weapon and every cannon
from all their forte to the frontier to wpm to the
forces of the rumor-general, who was able to
produce a well-appointed army of 25,000 rata and 100 pieces
of mime—that army was in the month of February in the
present year on the field of Goojerat, new Jhelum, where
they were enibled to attack the enemy, and the result had
been the total dispersion of that cloud which threatened, not
many months ego, the future peace of Asia. That victory
was accomplished by the exertions of generals, officers, and
soldiers, unremittingly, zealously, and dsservinely—many of
'then acting under difficulties imposed upon them by the
most rapid marches to enable them to reach the field of battle.
In awarding a just tribute of praise to the whole of this
army, he could not omit to state that one portion of it which
came from Bombay, under Omelet Dundee, had come by
forced marches without a single halt, and had arrived at the
scene of action the very day before the battle took place.

be too much to say that a few words of dis-
