EAST INDIA HOUSE.

THANKS TO THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF,
THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL, AND THE
ARMY IN INDIA.
The CHAIRMAN (in continuation of our Afternoon
Edition of yesterday) said—The junction of the Bengal
and Bombay armies at Moultan, under Major Dundas,
gained the utmost renown; and the succes-ful andremark •
able attack under Major-General Whish could not have
escaped tbeir notice. But a few days after
the* arrival Moultan surrendered. Then a de-
tachment of the Indian navy, under Captain Powell,
rendered services of the most efficient and impor-
tant character during the whole of the campaign. He
wished also to bring under their notice the valour of the
wild tribes, particularly the brave tribes from be-
Ednd the Indus, hes.ded by the gallant
wardes, who, with indomitable bravery aed valour,
rendered the most efficient service to the army in India
OD that occasion. When their services were no longer
required they were permitted to remain in Moul-
tan, in order that they might behold the irresistible
power of the British arms. To be brief, he
could not -call to mind any occasion on which
the Indian army had siacd greater lustre on their
name. The Honourable Gentleman then spoke favour-
ably of Sir Walter Gilbert, his friend and comraee, who
bad seen much service and had been employed to drive
the savage hordes beyond the limits of Hindostan,
the Sepoys; the artillery and engineers, headed by Col.
liteek, and that the strength of their army in India
amounted to 250,000 men. He concluded by asking the
Propiietors to give the army engaged in the recent vic-
tories in India their heartfelt thanks.
The SECRETARY then read the resolutions, which were
merely an echo of the speech of the Chairman.
Mr. J. SHEPHA.RD supported the motion, and compli-
mented the prowess and wisdom which throughout the
whole campaign had been displayed by Lord Gough.
No disaster had made him quail, and he had persevered
until he had obtained the most complete victory, which
he (Mr. Shepherd) confidently anticipated would pave
the way to a real and lasting peace.—(Cheers.) The
Gallant Officer who commande at Moultan, the posses-
sion of which was the great object of the campaign,
deserved the utmost praise.
Mr. LEwIN sought to propose an amendment stigma-
tising the conduct of Lord Gough at Chillianwallah, and
declared that the chairman did not speak his real senti-
ments. Out of doors Lord Gough's conduct on that occa-
sion was much censured.—(Cries of " Bad taste,"
"DTs, no.")

SHEPITA RD said he hoped they would all be
unanimous ; on all similar occasions they had been
unanimous, and he trusted they would be on that

occasion.

The amendment not having been seconded it fell to
the ground, the Proprietors present having hissed it.
The CHAIRMAN Said he was glad to see that the Pro-
prietors did not sympathise with the amendment.
The original motion was then carried, all, with the
exception of Mr. Lewin, voting for it.
The Court then separated.

FRAM CE.

Considerable excitement has been created by the
announcement in the diplomatic circle, that the
Xrench Government having been informed by their
Minister at Turin that Marshal R.adetzky had refused
to abate in the slightest degree the harsh terms im-
posed on the King of Sardinia in the conditions of
peace, and being further dissatisfied at the explana-
tions offered by the Austrian Minister in Paris, have
considered it expedient to order Marshal Bugeaud to
concentrate the forces under his command, and
march towards the frontiers of Piedmont.

Letters have been received in Paris from Tangier
announcing that the Consul- General of the French
Republic in that city had struck his flag in conse-
quence of an insult offered to him by the Governor.
The National announces that the 9th Regiment of
Light Infantry, and the 52d Regiment of the line,
were ordered to quit Paris on Sunday at few hours'
notice in consequence of their well known Republi-
can principles.
