went down on their knees with fixed bayonet*, and repo., A
the horse, and the rider, who was paraded, was surrounittl,
and taken into temp. The affair was communicated to
the Commander-in-Chief, the Duke of Cambridge, who
considered that as the legion was se roan to be disbanded,
it would not be advisable to submit the matter for trial t y
general court martial. His Royal Hight. as, however,
aired Major-G 1 Oucolgoe, commanding the camp.
to assemble the whole of the o fficers and come me- of rack

Lieut. Saunders for his mutinous and di-graceful. and an-
oilleerlike conduct, and diamiss hint from ter Majesty's
service. At ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, the
officers and men formed three aides of a square on the
parade ground, in the centre of which Major-Grunt
Outoigee and staff, and General S:ut'erheim with hie
staff, took op their position, when Lieut Saunders, divested
of his sword, was marched in as a prisoner by tho adjutant
of his regiment. Gan. Gaseoigne having read aloud the Duke
of Cambridge's letter, proceeded to address Lieut. Saunders
in plain and outspoken terms, observing that he was greatly
surprised to find an officer of his experience so far I.r. ettiog
himself as to be guilty of so flagrant a breach of mil tory
discipline and insubordination towards his commander
officer. Re might coesider himself extremely fortunate in
not being tried before a general court martial. when he

his insubordination. It be left w.th the feeling that he
had gained his point by gutter out of the service, after the
wirers remarks of the Duke of Cambridge, in which he mu
assured the whole cf the officers present concurred,
be did not envy him his feelings, and he now de,ired
him to leave the parade, se he was no longer an ( fficer.
Lieut. Saunders made no reply, end General Gabc,iites,
tuning to the officers, said he would take that opportunity
of thanking them, end their veteran Colonel von Hack',
for the extreme willingness and goo I temper they had
displayed in the performance of their duties, esjo-cisLy at
the time they knew they were to be diebanded. He
felt sure that no English trrops could have behaved
better than the British German Legion, and, notwithstand-
ing the fears entertained by the townsfolk, on their snivel
at Colchester, they would, on their departure, curt with
them the good will and opiniou of tho inhobitants. When-
ever be went to London he was uoltrel by his friend,,
" Well, how do you get on with your (iermsee ?" and be
was always proud of being able to answer, " They give me
less trouble than I ever bad, and a better set of men I
wish to command." General Stutterheirn briefly
acknowledged the compliment, and shaking hands with
General Gasademe, expressed to that officer the plealure
the officers, non-zonamissioned officers, and men of the
British Guinan Legion felt in serving under such a com-
manding officer, end the kindoess they had received from
him would he recollected when they were mattered through
various parts of the globe. The trope then dispersed,
Lieutenant Saunders marched off the parade with the
adjutant, and the aims day quitted the camp.
