Previous iv '4te departure of Lord Aylmer the following
general order wati ed, 'c hick is highly cemplimentarY t?
the British forces in Canada :
" Thtf Commander of the Forces cannot separate 107
self from the Arai,' serving in British North America wits'
e
mkt requesting the General Officers, the heads of the d'
partak,l4s, and the other Officers, staff and regimental, t°
accept his tliftnks for the zeal and attention to their rare"
tive duties which hove uniforn:tv marked their condo('
during the period of his t,,Fimmand: He will ever remember
with satisfaction that during that period (nearly five ynal
no Officer has been called before a genes' Court Martia,
to defend his conduct : so far from it, that the Officers of
this army hate been distinguished (and on borne occasions
under very trying circumstances) for their discretion, Par
merit, and good temptr.
44 The Commander of the Forcci..also desires that the
Officers and solar of this arnl
receive his thanks for their general godd conduct. He 0111/
has to qualify this expression of approbation by adverting
to the propensity cf the soldiers to iedulge too freely in the
use of strong liquors ; a propensity which he deeply laments'
as the source of almost every crime, and :wen of every
regularity which occurs in a British army.
" Upon the present occasion the Commander of
the
Forces thinks it unnecessary to urge upon the enns
ration of the Generals and other Officers the important' '
e
of encouraging sobriety amongst the troops, well .knoty
ing how unremitting are their efforts to that effect ; at-
he now, at parting, addresses himself directly to the s'l,`,
diers themselves, and earnestly entreats them to avoin
indulging in the immoderate use of strong liquors, whiell
leads them into difficulties, injures their health, an
throws a shade over those higher qualities for whit'
they have ever been distinguished as soldiers, and the
possession of which has never been denied them, even 14
their enemies.
" The Commander of the Forces bids farewell to the
army servinc, in British North America, and desires of thet!
to be assured, collectively and individually, that they %/I,:i
ever have his highest wishes for their prospeitY
