SERINGAPATAM PRIZE-MONEY.

TO THU EDITOR OP THE ASIATIC JOURNAL.
SlR—That under this free Government, public
opinion, let the expression of it come from what
quarter it may, must always be attended to, is a
circumstance productive of the most happy conse-
pences.. The instance to which lat present al-
-lade, is the satisfactory result of the notice lately
taken in Parliament of the hardships to which the
claimants of the Deccan Prize-money have so long
been subjected. Eight years, Mr. Editor, is a
Jong time to be kept out of the reward of such
bard and honourable services; but long as this
period must appear, it does not amount to one-
third part of the time during which the second
and final dividend of the Seringapatam prize-fund
has been delayed„ The pretence for this pro-
crastination, unpaisalleled, so far as I know, in
the history of awarded booty, is said to be, that'
.no injustice may be done to those who may have
`well-founded claims, by too precipitate a divi-
sion of the funds: but, if six-and-twenty years
lie not sufficient to enable individuals to ascer-
tain whether their nearest of kin were among the
captors, I should be glad to know what period
Llay be deerried sufficient? Indeed, it may be no
paradox to assert., that so long a period is more
'likely to bring real claims into doubt, and to
encourage fictitious ones, than to produce any
beneficial effect whatever. A restriction to half
the time could not have been complained of as
an injury to any one. And it may also be
affirmed, that a much greater degree of hardship
and injustice is thus inflicted upon all tlie\sharers,
and their descendants, amounting tolnatiy thou-
sands, than could now, or even for a long time
back, have been fairly complained of, by the
loss of a few good claims, simply for want
of their having been more promptly brought
ferward. That, at this time, any valid claim
siould be defeated, by dividing the. remaining
• funds, seems hardly possible.
Those who may urge that the smallness of the
remaining fund is a sufficient reason for the in.
*difference and procrastination that have already
L.:Ken place, would do well to recollect, that
what to opulence may appear to be a mere trifle,
may be of great importance to the widow and
fatherless child, who have already so long smart-
ed under this privation; and this consideration
alone, it is to be hoped, may prove a stiffi-
dent stimulus to those who may have it in their
power, either to afford redress, or to procure it
for the sufferers.
But it is not my intention to argue so plain a
- matter ; I wish only to call it to the recollection
of our honourable and bountiful Masters, and
also to present it to the consideration of the lau-
relled Peer who commanded that gallant army,
-and who is the natural advocate of their claims.

A .3URVIVING CAPTOR.

Edinburgh, July 4, 1825.

THE INDIAN ARMY.

We understand *a dispatch from the Court of
:-Directors to the Government in India, is now
I)efore the Board of Controul for approval, direct-
-ring a considerable augmentation of the army in
all its branches, at the different Presidencies.
-From conversations which we have had with
many intelligent persons from India, we are in-
dined to think the proposed augmentation abso-
:lately necessary for the peace arid security of that
immense Empire.
IVe hope any military arrangement the Board of Controul
tinny sanction, will provide a greater number of European
officers to the Native Army than are at present allowed ; for if
the whole number on the establishment were effective, and fit
for duty, they are not more-than is indispensably requisite for
the common regimental duty.
But in 'a climate like India, so destructive to European
constitutions, we may fairly calculate from the length of time
that it takes to attain the rank of Captain, that one-forth of the
higher ranks of the officers of the army may be set down as sick,
present or absent ; one-forth required for the effective staff of
the army, and not more •than two-forths to do duty with
their corps -from this, however, we must deduct those who are
permitted to visit their native country on business or pleasure ;,
and'aurely it is but reasonable that a certain portion should en-
jos' that.privilege; but there is 'still a 'further drain upon the
effective officers of the army, who are called away to officer
temporary and local corps railed on certain occasions, and also
to serve with the troops of our Native Allies, leaving the
regular regiments of infantry and cavalry in a most inefficient
state, so much to that during the late Mahratta war, many regi-
ments in the field, on active service, were commanded by Lieu-
tenants ; and in several instances not more than three European
officers for duty with s'corps ! I
It is well known what the native troops in India are capable
of performing. when commanded by English officers of expe-
rience, who are acquainted with-their language, customs, and I
-prejudices ;
_and it is astonishing how persons, who think them-
-selves qualified to direct and controul the government of that
vast Empire, should havebeen so long blind to this very great
defect in our Indian army.
There are now in the divisions of the army moving into the
Burniesecountry, segeral native battalions, raised for local 'ern-
porary purpoael, withaCaptain or Lieutenant to command, and
another subaltefn as Adjutant. These officers are borrowed from
- the .regular riliisents which is an additional drain upon them ;
And it is also table observed, that from a regular supply of Ca.
deta pot being iinstoat, these regiments are never complete in

Ensigns.
It is not to be belted, that when patronage is in question,
the Directors of the t India Company would be very back-
ward in sending out a Nufficient number of Cadets ; quite the
-tontrarY--but the tact is,,that the constant tliern.c.of all their
Aispatches"tO 'lndia ( they think of nothing but pounds, shillings,
and pence) has ever been directing reduction of' troops and mi-
litary expences, which the experience of nges, we may say, has
proved to be imptaciicable ; for how can it be otherwise ? If
we extend Ottiterritory, we must augment our army ; and can
it be th ; , t that 150,000 men to a population of nearly'
vim° , ; , vats Is an overgrown military force, and that in a
coulttalCsOcat removed, and incapable of receiving any speedy
ass'. from England in case of need, without taking into
. ation the position in which we are placed, surrounded
. ice military neighbours ?
o4Eite-
, . Very proper orders, we understand, were sent out 'ome time
' j.igo from the Horse Guards, to withdraw several Officers who
4" Were in the service of the Native Powers belonging to his Ma-
jesty's regiments in India, because there was a want of Officers
to do the regimental duty, but the East India Company's
. army, which is not officered to half the extent of the King's
Trcops, are still further distressed by the Colonels and Lieut.-
Colonels Commandants of Regiments having, by a late regu-
lation, become entitled to come England to reside in die en-
joyment of their pay and off:reckonings, which permission they

have almost all availed themselves of, and are now in England
or on their passage.
Officers of this rank are most required in India ; none under
the rank of Major-General are permitted in his Majesty's army
to be absent from his regiment.
In the Establishment at Sandhurst, the Officers are from the
Retired List, from the Lieutenant-Governor down, but at Ad-
discombe, the Directors have thought proper to withdraw
three effective officers from their already defective Indian Es-
tablishment.
Of the Madras troops, eleven regiments, we believe, sent to
Rangoon, there was no officer sentof the rank of Colonel ; and,
we believe, not more than two Lieutenant-Colonels ; and three
regiments from the same establishment, which are now serving
under 8.-Gen. Morrison, were sent under a Lieut.-Colonel.
Several of the regiments in both divisions commanded by
Captains. These are points that it is to be hoped will he no-
ticed with displeasure to the Government of Madras in the next
dispatches, and we would also recommend a change of system
as to the Colonels and Lieutenant-Colonels Commandants of
Regiments, that none be permitted to remain in England, ex-
cept on account of their health, or in their fair turn, for private
business or pleasure: above all thingi, that no effective officer
should be ever employed on duty in England.—(From a
Morning Paper. )
