MUTINY OFNA.TIVE INDIAN TROOPS.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGHI7ad been in hopes
that it would not be necessary to draw their lord-
ships' attention to the lamentable mutinies which
had taken place in the native army of India. The
news which ho had read list night gave so
grave a character of the !mutinies which bad
occurred in India, that he did not think it consistent
with his duty to refrain from putting a question to the
noble lord the President of the Council.
Their lorJships would, of course, be acquainted
with the mutiny of the 19th Native Regiment,
the march of that regiuient, and its subsequent disband
went at Barrack pore in the presence of five other native
regiments. They must a'so have perceived wiell apprehen-
sion the spread of diraflection amongst the native army,
but a circumstance had occurred that gave a more
serious aspe.cf to the affair, namely, the spread of
incendiary fires. From V:e IGth to the 25th of April
no less than seven incendiary fires tad occurrel in
the district occu pied by the disaffected troops. A
regiment amounting to four hundred sabres had
been permitted to remain in open mutiny without any
effort being made to check the progress of the disaffec-
tion. He could not uuderstand how it was so in Mee-
rut, where the Government had a strong force of
artillery, dragoons, and carabineere, who could have
been depended upon. Open mutiny was, in fact,
open war, and it was only to be ...net by open war.
There must have been some strange exagge-
ration in the eccounts that bad been received,
but having carefully perused the accounts which had
been published in the Bengal territory, he could come
to no other conclusion than that the whole of the dis
content was caused by the fear that the Government
intended to interfere with the religion of the natives of
India. He found the names of six officers, and several
otherputle functionaries all connected with the mis-
sionary proceeding ; and the Govern-or-General (Lord
Canning) was said to he a large subscriber to every so-
ciety having for its object the conversion of the naives.
The house must remember that the Governor-General
could not separate himself from his public char ,cter
Governor General,- and if any attempt was made to in-
terfere with the religious rigs of the natives, a bloody
revolution would take ',lace, the result of which would
be that the English would be driven from India.
The question he wished to put was, whether instructions
had been sent out to India, directing the several govern-
ments to make known to the army that the Home Go-
vernment would protect all their subjects in the undis-
turbed r xerciso of their religion ?
Earl GRANVILLE thought the noble lord had
taken a course which might lead to very disastrous
cormequerices in India. His question was based
upon a tel.graphic dospatch, whiou might give a
very exaggerated account of the state of the
native troops in India ; but he felt bound to
defen led Lord Canning from the nape reions that had been
cast upon him. He could assure the noble earl that the
Government would not for a moment countenance any
attempt to interfere with the religious rites of the natives
of India.
