The Goverisor in Council considers it to be pro-
per to avail himself of this occasion to correct a
misapprehension, highly dangerous in its tendency,
which has arisen in the minds of some of the
officers of the army, with regard to the nature of
the authority of the Governor iu Council. This
misapprehension appears to have originated in the
General Order published by the late Cominander-
in-Chief, on the ..:tith of January last, !ruin which
it might be inferred, that the authority of the Go-
etritor in Council is only of a civil nature; where-
as, by the express etinctment of thy Legislature,
tin claire Civil anti Military Government of the
Presideney of Fort St. George and its depetid-
encies, is vested in the Governor in Council. It is,
thereltoe, to he distinctly understood, that no of-
ticer, of oltuti•ver rank, while serving. the
Presidency of Fort St. George, can, without in-
currieg the 1,0114141 es of disobedience to the Legis-
lature of his country, issue Hoy order, in violation.
or to the derogation of the authority of the Govern-
ment 1111:t that every "trivet complying with an
opler of that d'•s.•riptinu, under soy pretence whit-
ever, renders himself halite to the (edentate of the
service, and to +owls Begat penalties as the nature of
the ruse may demand.
While the Gioeroor in Council deems it to he
proper to afford the foregoiii4 exiihniation, he feels
himself at the Slime ton.- hound to arkiinw ledge,
that the principles tii nliWls lie has rots erteil, boil

of Cie shove-mentioind order of the I ste Conn.
!wieder-in-Chief. Oa this contrary, these princi-
ples had been invariably acted upon by tlic Govern-
ment, mill In the officers of the army of this Presi-
dency, who have linen no less distinguished for
their obedience and discipline, than for their
acilievements in the held. The Governor in Coun-
cil cxpericiices the most sincere satisfaction
in publishiii4 his conviction, that the majority of
the tricy have resisted all participation in the 'an-
noyer suit dangerous proceedings described in this
order; and it is an act of justice to the troop* of tlis
11:ijesity's service to declare his entire aiiniolnition,
01 the ord-r. discipline, and steady adherence to
they, which they have invariihly inissifested.
The information before the ( :over 1111 l ent does not
enable the Governor in Council to distinguish, by
the expressiow of his approbation, all the troop* of
the Compani'm service that bore tnianift .sted the
some disposition; bnt he deems it to lie proper to
notice on this occasion the sabot:4o.re and perm-
plary conduct of the part of the urine composing
the Hyderabad Subsidiary Force. TN Gov
in Council is also confident that such officers as
have inadvertently yielded to the misrepresentations
of individnels who have been reigned in the prose-
cution of designs eipially fatal in the honour and
to the hart...ids of the army, will in future rianifest,
in the service of the Golfer 1111 l put. the
