The Duke of WELLINGTON concurred in the vote of the
Home. He was happy to end there was an expression of
spin ohatiou of the conduct aud discipline of Indian troops.
It was too much the practice of late to imilervalue those
troops. The native troops of India were efficient good sol-
diers, able to move in large columns or small troops, as aces
aims might require. He could not enter into the feelings of
the Noble Marquis wall respect to General Hislop. lie was
an Officer who had served with great reputation. The affair
of 'rainier, in the Noble Duke's opinion, did not reflect upon
his professional charaeter; un the contrary, it appeared, in-Zout
figtie,n justification of lilt discipline and conduct. 'flue
Noble Duke added, dint the Resolution wont e upon
the Gave nor General the necessity of briogirig General
Ilislop to trial.
