DESPATCH FROM INDIA.

(From the Gazette of this Evening.)
INDIA BOARD, OCT. 24.
The following despatch has been received at the East
India House :
The Governor-General of India in Council to the Court
of Directors of the Eat India Company.
Fort William, Sept. 9, 1857.
We have the honour to forward for your information
the accompanying copy of a minute recorded by the
Governor-General, relative to the death of Sir Henry
Lawrence ; the appointment of General Sir James
Outrara to the united command of all the troops in the
Dinapore and Cawnpore divisions ; and his re-appoint-
ment as Chief Commissioner in Oude.

Minute by the Governor-General of India, Sept. 8, 1857.
Recently the Government availed itself of Major-
General Outram's presence in Calcutta, to appoint him
to the united command of all the troops in the Dinapore
and Cawnpore divisions.
Major-General Outram is now approaching Cawn•
pore. He will accompany the reinforced column of
Brigadier-General Havelock in its advance upon Luck-
now, and, as circumstances may arise calling for the
exercise of civil and political authority on Major-Gene-
ral Outram's part within the province of Oude, it be.
comes necessary for me to place on record the determi-
nation which was formed by the Government some time
ago, of ra-appointing Major-General Outram, for the
present, to the post of Chief Commissioner
in
vacated by the lamented death of Sir Laivr°subdceb:
K.C.B.
. .

beg to submit this proposal for the concurrence of
my colleagues.
Although intelligence of Sir H. Lawrence's deatl,
reached the Government long ago, no official announce
meet of this sad event, and uone of the particulars co.,
sleeted withit, were received until some time after the first
reports ; and the details are not even now very fully
known.
A. wound received whilst leading an attack on the 2d of July against the insurgents, and believed to have been
slight in itself, but acting doubtless on ss constitution
impaired by protracted labours in an exhausting climate,
and on a frame weakened by the unusual fatigues,
44zietjes, and [responsibilities of the preceding month,

,ufficed to close the career of one of the most valued and
best loved men whom India has counted amongst her
servants and benefactors.
In the course of his service, extending over 35 years,
in Ramat], in Affghanistan, in Nepal, in the Punjab,
and in Rajpootana, Sir Henry Lawrence was distin.
guished for eminent ability, devoted zeal, and generous
and self-denying exertions for the welfare of the people
among whom he was placed. As a soldier, an admi•
nistrator, and a statesman, he has deservedly earned az
exalted reputation among the foremost, and has bees
an honour to the Government he served.
Impressed with a sense of his great qualifications X
selected him to be Chief Commissioner in the province
of Oude. In that position, from the first appearance of
disaffection amongst the troops quartered in theprovinee,
his conduct of affairs was mArked by foresight, calm
judgment, and courage. If anything eitild have avorted
the calamitous outbreak which nas been f.!llovved by the

temporary subversion of orr authority in 0o .le, I be-.
lieve that :lie ;nea,ures which were taken by S.r Henry
Lawrence, and the confidence which 'li men, high and
low, native and European, felt in his energy, hls wisdom,
and his spirit of justice and kindliness, woull hav .i ao.
complished that end. As long as there was ac .y hope of
restraining the wavering soldiery by appeals to their
sense of duty and honour, he left no becAning means
untried to conciliate them. When violent and open.
mutiny called for stern retribution, he did not shrink.
from the (to him) uncongenial task of inflicting severe
punishment. When general disorder and armed rebel.
lion threatened, he was undaunted, and completed rag
l pidly and effectively the precautionary preparations
which, from the beginning, he had had in vieve. And,
though he has been prematurely removed fro the scene,
it is due mainly to his exertions, judgment, alid professional
skill, that the Lucknow garrison has l',een able to defy
the assaults of its assailants, and still maintains its
ground.
There is not, I am sure, an Englishman in India who
does not regard the loss of Sir Henry Lawrence, in the
present circumstances of the country, as one of the
heaviest of public calamities.

There is not, I believe, a native of the provinces
where he has held authority who will not remember hie
name as that of a friend and generous benefactor to the
races of India.

For myself, short as has been my personal inter.
coml.) with that distinguished luau, it is a grateful
though a mournful duty, to record my appreciation of
his eminent services to this Government, my admiration
of his high character, and my affectionate respect for
his memory.
