tailing on the officers o► the Company's army to
adhere to their duty, correcting the erroneout opi-
nions which they had received regarding the powers
of Gorerntuent, and describing the unjustifiable
uatu►e and dangerous consequences of their pro-
ceedings. The Governor in Council learned with
deep regret that these measures of moderation,
these repeated and urgent appeals to the discipline,
duty, national attachment, and professional humour
of the Company's Officers, were eiltirely ougatory,
that the memorial► continued to be circulated, and
that the sentiment, of the sedition were openly de-
clared in many parts of the army. The further
forbearance of the Government would hare encou-
raged the progress•of those evils, a course of expla-
nation and exhnrtatiou had been pursued in vain,
cud it became imperiously necessary to check, by a
salutary example of puuial •lit, a spirit of insubor-
dination that threatened the most dangerous cone.

iiiiences to the prosperity of the Empire. The
(;mere! Orders of the let May last were according-
ly passed.
The Governor in Council is concerned to state
that this example, which was confined to the per-
sons who were principally Instrumental in promot-
ing sedition, and of whose delinquency the most
tuple proofs existed, and which was intended to ob-
viate the necessity of more extensive paniehments,
f ailed to produce the beneficial effects anticipated
from its adoption, and that principles of Menton.
disirtiost and sedilion continued to preyed among
the Company's Officer., if poesible, with aggra-
vated violeace. The Company's Officers of the
Hyderabad subsidiary force, whose good conduct,
in refusing to affix their signatures to the seditious
addresses, had received the approbation of the
Government, intimated to the rest of the army,
in an address dated in May host, scarcely less re-
prehensible than the papers which had incurred the
essismidiereion of the Government, their participa-
tem its the disaatfection which prevailed eft exten-
sively in the Compauy's army. The Officers at
Hyderabad followed up this act by threatening, in
an address fluted led, ,1%..e, transmitted direct to
the Governer in Council, to septette themselves
from the authority of the Goverutuent catellikahed
over them by their eouutry, unless I. submission
be yielded to their menaces by abrogating
the 11,riseal Orders of the let May ; and the Cow-
peity'a efficers at Masulipatain imprisnued their
consurinding officer, awl to preparation to de-
*ea the post entrusted to their charge, and to join
the Hyderebud sebeidiary force, thereby involving,
on account of views termite, to themselves, the
men under their command in the guilt of rebellion,
end furnishieg to the native troops a dangerous ex-
ample of rests-atter to authority. The Governor
in Count.l etal anxiens to impress on the minds
of the Company's Officers a sense of the Metro-
priety of their conduct, published to the tinny
the dispatch from the Supreme Government, dated
2 tat May last, which contained on eutire approval
of the measures of the Government of Fort St.
Geor4e, anal stated the most forcible and conch,-
t!vc arguments 'Oust the eyetein or faction and
illegal combinatiou which had been intrn(uced
iuto -the coast army. This solemn dessision or
the Supreme Authority in litlia has also proved
to be tuetfecteel, the offieete at Hyderabad,
although they knew the seistinsents of the Supreme
Goreromeot, refused in a body, in a letter to their
Commanding Officey, elated the stii of July, obedl-
ence to the orders of Government for the march of a
hattaliou from Hyderabad, adding, as a (breed, that
its services might NOOII be useful to their cause, and
have since forwarded to the Government, in a paper
dated the 21st of July, thee idioms oil which they
are willing to return to their ditty, and which they
require the Government to accept, in order to avert
the impending awful evils, evils which can result
only from their owls cri Meal determinstien to place
themselves in the situation of enemit'a to their coun-
try. The conditions on which those officers p,e.
