With respect to the fo:ntli cliarce, the Court are of opinion that
a relaxed discipli.tt , its %-t forth in that dlid exist in t!ie re-
gian,..nt under Colonel Qointio's command, whilst on foreitzli service, !
during the period alluded lo in the letter and orders referred to in I

the charge ; and as they cannot but consider the Commanding Offi-
cer of a regiment to be responsible for such relaxation of discipline,
they therefore think themselves bound to find Colonel ()Mosta
guilty to the extent of allowing it to exist ; but as they consider
the letter from the Adjutant-General to the troops on the Continent,
Of March 30th, 1814, expressing the displeasure of the Commander
of the fort" aas a reprimand to Col. Quintin adequate to the degree
of blame which attached to him, the Court do nut feel themselven
i called upon to give any sentence upon this charge in the way of
further punishment, and they consider that any thing unusual in
this determination will be explained by the singularity of the cir-
cumstances attending this charge, by which an (loiter is pn' upoir
his trial tur conduct, which had before been the subject of animad-
version by those under whose command he Was then serving, hat
which at-the time was not considered deserving of a more seriona
proceeding by the Commander of the forces ; nor does it appear to
. have been uncle sett. snhject of any remonstrance or request for a
more serious investigations on the part of the Officers ut the regi-
ment.
The Court having found the prisoner guilty of so much of the
first charge, as is above expressed, and so much of the fourth charge
as is above recited, with the reasons which in•lnce the Court to feel
that they are not called upon to affix any punishment to the last-
mentioned charge, do only adjudge, with reference to the first
charge, that ColonelQuintiu be reprimanded in such moaner as his
Royal Highness the Commander in Chief he pleased to direct.
The Court, 'however, cannot conclude these proceediugs without
expressing their regret, that there appears to have existed such
want of co-operation among the Officers of the regiment, as to ren-
der the deities of the Commanding Officer much-num arduous than
they otherwise would have been.
1 am to acquaint you, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent
has been pleased, in the name and on the behalf of,.his Majesty, to
approve and confirm the finding and sentence of
,the Court.
His Royal Highness has further been pleased to consoler, that,
-allot the Officers of a cot ps prefer accusatios tiffecting the houour
and professional character of their Commander, nothing but -the
most conclusive proof of theit charges before a Court Martial can
justify a proceediog which !mist otherwise be so pregnant with mis-
chief to the (Useipline of the army; and that a regard din: to the
snhortlination of the service must ever attach a severe responsiVity
to subortlin.ste otii,..ers. who become the accusers of their siiveriot:
Isis Royal lushness alterefore, conk', net but regret, that the oth.
errs of the loth hussars should have been so unmindful of what they
tare to the first prineiples 01 their profession, as to assume an °pis
tilon of tle.ir Commander'a personal emalttet, which thither their
geoeral experienee nt the service, nor their knowledge of the al.
Ie:VA fails (a, appears from their own evidenec), could sanction or
justify, and which opinion would appear, from the proceedings, to
have be,•o Weds, void of foundation in every instauce of implied
attack or insinuation upon that Oiiicerl4 a onto2e :not conduct be-
fore the ettemy, as conveyed by the tenor of the second and tkiut
Ll allusion to the fetter signed by the chief part of the Officers anti
in wh:ch tne present proceethn-s ori4imeed, the Prince has
specially observed, that, exclusive of the donist whkit.may be enter-
tain:al of their cap ,hility to form it judemern, so much beyetid the
scale of their experiettee in the servicer it was won of reiwirk, tlipt
some +.‘ho have athted tlit!ir names to that paper, had, uever tern with,
the ret!iinent dininz the p-riod in question, and others had to.ver joi;4l
any mititary body beyond the depot of their ein?s, and It ;night thus
be declared, that id!lves.di the Officers have tut.ifilested, snare tim2
to
the appropriate re,li irk of the Court-Martial, a want of rat lint
sit )tort of their rommander's authority, yet thri,e %%Ito have assouturt
a ptes.mal observance of Colonel Quintiles conduct, and those who,
.11:,,nz11 absent, appear to have acted under a miaeliievan• todnence, by
joining in till "pillion to his prejudice, have 1111 co operated in a com-
p lei l'Atii:ist their Commatisiing Offlerr, fraught with evils of the, most
tendency to the discipline of the service; nor did it esca;ut
the notice of his lt,:yat liitthness, that this accos“tion has hot been the
,honieutary of spring of Irritated leciutgs, but t;ic deliticiatu issue of a
ond extraordinary cklav, for which lei sufficient reas:ins, or ex•
Ph, 'aTi"ni, have been assivied.
In this view of the case (which is no' flanilvd 1)7 the very
ceusnre pissed on Colonel Qututin ihiitt wits Ist cir.q.ce) hp,
:s emisidcred. that a Vaal k of his displeasure toward• those
OfEcers is essential to the vital hitt rests the minty ; and that the no-

:n others, had left them unaware of the mischievous tendency of their
conduct upon this occasion, his Royel 'Highness is avers!, to adopt MI6
severe tie-Inures as the custom of the service in,support of its
u•nally sanctions, upon the Ware of charges agsiust'a Commanding
Oflieer. Sill it is essential' that concract so injurious in its nature
should bs 14e101 forth to the army as a warning in supp'rt of subordina-
tion ; and his Royal Highness has therefore commanded that the Offi-
cers who signed the letter of the 9111 of Aligns', I s.ta.. no longer net
together as a corps, but that they shall be dittributed by exchange
throughout the different regiments of cavalry in the service, where, it
is trusted, that they, wi I learn and confine themselves to their subordi-
nate duties, until their services and experience 'hall sanction their
being placed in rank awl situations, where they may be allovred to
juda~ of the general and higher ditties of the profession.
Thu Prince Recent has been further pleased to observe, that though
Colonel Palmer did flit sign the letter of the 9:11 of August, he is, tie-
•ertheless, by his &dared sentiments on the prosecution, and his ge-
e rll crtr urr-nre in the opinion of the Officers, tt be considered i i the
sine light as if he had put his name to that paper, and his Royal
'Ugliness fo.s therefore commanded that he shall also be removed to
another carps. —1 nra, &C.
