THE SIXTH DRAGOON GUARDS.

TO THE EDI 7 OR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Referring to the War-office Gazette of the sth inst..
I observe the following :
" 6th Dragoon Guards—Veterinary- Surgeon George John-
ston has been permitted to resign his commission."
In order to infOrm my friends and the puLlic of the cause
which led me to retire from the Army, I beg to state, that
being dissatisfied with the treatment I had from time to time
received, and in order that I might proceed to London, wit h
a view. if possible, to effect an exchange, I made personal ap-
plication to my commanding officer, requesting him to pro-
cure for me a month's leave of absence; this Colonel Jack-
son ;distinctly refused, remarking " Your .conduct of late
does not warrant any indulgence from me, and, let me tell
you, I don't want to interfere with your professional charac-
ter, but the two regiments (7th Hussars and 9th Lancers) in
which you served previously to coining to the Carabineers
had no discipline, nor have you any military discipline.
Have you got the full dress uniform of the Regiment?" To
which i replied " No." " Then," said Colonel Jackson,
" you will appear in the full dress of the regiment in this
office within tour days from this day." I answered " that I
could not, as it would be impossible to have it made in that.
time." (The full dress would probably have cost 2001.) He
then remarked, " You hare my order ;" and I left the office,
thoroughly disgusted with the oppressive conduct shown to
me ; for I always acted in strict adherence to my duty. But
finding all chance of effecting an exchange unlvailing, I
went to my quarters and wrote a letter of resignation from
the service, the acceptance of which was notified in the
Gazette above alluded to.

As there are many other grievances under which I labour,
and fearing from the length of my statement that it would
occupy a much greater space in your journal than could be
conveniently spared. I shall get it printed immediately, and
will be most happy to present a copy of it to any gentleman
who may wish to know the full particulars of my case.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
GEORGE JOHNSTON,
Late Veterinary-Surgeon 6th Dragoon Guards.
