his power to make so favourable a report to his Royal High-

ORDERS RESPECTING ORDERLY DRAGOONS.-
Dragoons who may be employed in the conveyance of letters
are to be used as sparingly as possible, and it is only in special
and urgent cases, where despatch is necessary, that Letters or
Reports are to be forwarded by Dragoons. The precise time at
which the despatch is sent off, and the rate at which it is to be
conveyed, must be written very clearly on the cover of all let-
ters, which the urgency of the service requires to be transmitted
by Dragoons. The rate shall not, except in cases of necessity,
exceed six miles per hour ; and the Dragoon must, on all occa-
sions, where there is no back letter, be ordered to return leisurely
to his quarters. These instructions, and the rate at which he is
to travel, are to be clearly explained to the Dragoon at the time
he receives the despatch.
