Bil,—Oblige me by publishing, for the informa-
tion of the English people, the subjoined extract
from a letter received by me last night from General
Jacob, commanding the Scinde Irregular Horse :
"In spite of all the delays and lost opportu-
nities which have occurred, I am now ready
to create and organs Native Indian In-
fantry which shall be perfectly faithful and
orderly, and which shall (leaving Anglo-Saxons
out of the question) be ready and fully able success-
fully to encounter in arms, in any country, any
enemies on earth, regular or irregular, European or
Asiatic. I em absolutely certain that, with full
power to select and displace, and promote and
reduce all men under me, I could before long call
into existence Indian troops very far superior to the
&saves of France. But I cannot hope to do &sy-
nth:lLl: any purpose if a particle of the old poisonous
'on leaven be forced into my mate —a very
little would corrupt the whole mass.
" But I cannot undertake to form regiments unless
allowed to proceed after my own fashion, and to
work with those laws and principlee which I know
to be sound and of luting force. Let government
place at my disposal the means of equipping the men
in the first instance, and then leave all arrangements
to be made by me ; aiding me where I may require
essistanos, but not opposing me. They have seen
my handy work in the Sciode Irregular Horse,
rather not my work at all ; but they have seen the
effect of working by natural law, and of depending
on those feelings and powers which are common to
all mankind, and I feel that on this subject I have
nothing to learn from' authority.'
" Let Government be prepared to support me
throughout, and I will stake my commission, my
life, and reputation on the result. Buono will be
certain, and will be independent of my individual
life, for my lieutenants are able to take my place."

ALLEGED MINISTERIAL CHANGES.—Ministers

as the cash that Mr. Disraeli will resign his office of
Chimedier of the Exchequer, in favour of Mr. Gladstone,
