V6TES OF THANKS TO TIM INDIAN ARMY,
The Earl 'of RIPON. in continuation said--
All, from the Commander-in-Chief to the humblest
soldier; deserve the thanks of your Lordships and the country.
Hot, my Lords, there were heavy losses. Men of renown have
fallen in this glorious victory, and we must, and cannot but.
lament the fall of these great men. I believe it is not ge-
nerally known, at least it was not generally known till tie pub-
lication of Sir Hugh Gough's dispatch, that the Governor-
General was suffering from the effects of an injury he had re-
ceived a few days before by a fall from his horse. Some days
before this action something occurred to him which he thought
required him to have a communication with the Commander-
in-Chief ; he set out in the night, and rode a distance of 2t)
'Hiles, to the Commander-in- Chief's head- quarters. It was on his
return thence that the accident occurred from the effects of which
he was suffering at the time of the battle. Though his ener-
gies were never broken down, his body was weakened, and
those tato knew what fighting is, and what the feelings of x
general meet be on such an occasion, will well understand
what must have been the f•elirigs of Sir H. Hardinge when he
was obliged to proceed to the field of battle in a carriage. But.
once upon the field, the carriage was nit his post ; he mounted
his horse, although, my Lords, he was obliged to he lifted upon
it, and there he was, probably under bodily suit-rings
of an acute kind, ready to take his share in the
service lie might be called on to do; services so ho-
nourably recorded in the language of the Commander-in
Chief. Immediately the battle was ov..r, Sir 11. Hardinge
proceeded to superintend another part of the plan. With
two divisions of infantry and cannon, he moved over in the
night to Kussoor---a strung defensible position, bad the enemy
been in a condition to defend it. But that they were not ;
their losses had so diminished their army that they were de-
prived of all means of opposing the remainder of the march of
the Commander-in-Chief and the army on Kussoor, on the
ether side of the Sutlej, sixteen miles between that river
and Lahore. From Kussoor the last dispatch is dated, and,
without doubt, the army has by this time reached Lalicre,
viithifilt die gristliest obstruction, or the appearance of an
enemy to oppose it. Thig, my Lords, closes the scene up
to the period of the last dispatch from the Governor-Ge-
neral. I forbear—it is my duty to do so—from saying
anything with respect to the terms that may be agreed
upoh between the Governor-General and the Court of
Lahore; that Would involve considerations we are not
at present called oft to (filet:lsli I only call on your Lord-
ships to certify, which I am sure you will de unanimously,
the high esteem you entertain for those gallant men who
have fought so bravely in the service of their country.
'You *ill feel how much your gratitude is due to the Governor-
General, burdened as he_was with a weight of responsibility
which ho do not know of those matters may not
thoroughly appreeiate. tidt I should show, by letters addressed
to (Avers in every department, the energy and activity of his
mind. There is wiling to be done for which he does not
provide ; there is no. exigency which he does not contem-
plate. I etstild produce many letters which would show
the comprehetigite iieits of his mind in providing for the
eiectitiOu of those (operations, which would be a parallel for
the liiiiiesfibridinCe of Napoleon, and of that great and illustrious
man—( Cheers) —with *from he once served, and which, in
every line, exhibited that sleds did distinct understanding which
is one of his characteristic'. It was in that schOol, too, that Sir
H. Gough learned fighting . He shared in the glories of the
Peninsular iviif=gift a humbler sphere'; ini. erd, for I am not
aware that he had then afriVed at the rank of a general,—but
he showed himself a worthy pupil of the gieafest inaster of
the art of war.—( Loud cheers.) It must, hdeed, afford cause
for gratulation to that great man when he finds that thohse
wlid office meted snider him in inferior capacities, s.lnd w o
have drawn lirssoni from his precepts and example, come, in
after times, to serve their country in great and responsible
commands, and, by fresh achievements of their own, add to
their claims on the admiration of their countrymen as
noble inheritors of the fame which he left them, but which;
thank Grid; he yet lives to enjoy.—( Loud cheers. ) The
victories we now propose to commemorate have been achieved
in that same hemisphere where the Noble Duke's career
commenced, where he first displayed those great qualities
which will rank him among his countrymen —aye, and
aitiode. the enemies of this country—as one of the greatest
mitre. Oita blue adorned the annalsin

ships' approbation.—( Here the

which will be found in cur summary.) - -
Lord AUCKLAND rose, in the absence of the Marquis of
Lansdowne, to second the motion. He was sorry that his
Noble Friend, who was so much better able to do justice
to the motion than he (Lord Auckland) was, should be absent ;
still, though absent in body, he was present in . Had
he been here he would have supported the motion so well ad-
vanced by the Noble Earl opposite, in a much clearer_
and
more effective manner than be (Lord Auckland) did.

achieved: by the army of India.—( Hear.) He could not place
it in a strong d

had been placed in the hands cf their Lordships and in the
clear and eloquent speech which had been made by' the Noble
in

awl- skill which were manifested—in the face of provocation
and danger—so as not to risk an attack till the proper time
had arrived. They saw there how much more orderly was the
field of battle than at the battle of Ferozashur. Here there
was no advantage, but in the vast superiority of the enemy in
numbers; and the victory was gained by the determined bra-
very and skill of the gallant troops against an enemy, who
throughout did everthing they could to insure success.—
(Cheers.) He was proud of that victory, and glad that he
felt the satisfaction of knowing the gallant officer who had led
the war to success—(Cheers)--one towards whom he had al-
ways felt the greatest regard and respect, and who, to his
skill as a commander, had superadded the glory acquired from
many a victorious and hard fought field.—(Loud cheers.)
To the latter battle he would only refer in the language of his
Noble Friend, that it was a hardly contested o.attle, and he was
gratified that one who had already rendered his country so
many signal services, Sir H. Gough, was present there to add
one new laurel to the wreath which he had already won. He
would be glad t 3 point oat to the House one or two circum-
stances of minor importance. The force under Sir Henry
Smith was directed only by a European commander, captain,
and adjutant, every other officer in the corps was a native of
India. He would also allude to the Shakawatee corps, led by a
native, the son of an European father, who did not even hold
a commission in their army, yet who drilled a regiment
of cavalry and artiiler,), which took a chief part in
the action,—( Hear.) The Indian troops were arranged
alongside the European forces, and were described as contend-
ing with them for the front ranks.— (Hear, hear.) They
hail won a fair share in the profits of the victory, and they
were entitled to their full weed of praise. That corps con-
sisted of not more than 640, and they lost in the two battles
to which he had referred 140 men—yet at the end they
were forward in the onset. He would call the attention of
I the House to one other point, on which he was auziOus to make
