THE BOMBAY MAIL.

lire.have receive d. by the overland mail, via Mar-
seilles, our cori•e spondence from Bombay to
July 5.
The following is !romthe Bombay Times of that
date :

"It seems the fates of Lord Canning's adminis•
tration to sail in troubled waters to the last. We
learn simultaneouslt:v from Calcutta, that the Go-
vernment has decree d a free discharge to all soldiers
of the late company who choose to demand it, mid
that the sth European regiment, at Behampore, is
in open mutiny to enforce the concession. The
general order, publics hed elewhcre, is an elaborate
refutation of the claim to reenlistment, but in
deference to the me n it proceeds as follows :
" The Government i s satisfied that the objections of the
men are founded, in the case of many of them, on an honest
conviction that their rig! ats have been overlooked. This con-
viction has been strengt heued by the expression of opinions
from high authority in :England, which naturally have had
a powertul effect on the minds of the men. It has beenput
forward by the men fat most part in a soldier-like and re-
spectful manner, after t,l ,e first excitement had passed away,
consequent upon the o rders and warnings of the com-
mander-in-chief. Such being the case, and it being the
desire of the Govemm( nt of India that there should not
be even an appearance 'of injustice done to any soldier, his
Excellency the Viceroy and Governor-General of India in
Council has determined, with the full concurrence of the
Right Hon. the Comie ander-in -Chief, that every non-
commissioned officer and soldier in the three presidencies
who enlisted for the Ea t India Company's forces shall, if
he desire it, be allowed to take his discharge under the
provisions of the act for limiting the time of service in the
army, which directs that soldiers taking their discharge
shall be conveyed to En 4 ;land, and there finally discharged ;
and that in the meanwid le they shall continue to be subject
to the Mutiny Act and t he Articles of War."
There was no other course, we are persuaded,
open to the rrovernment. After the emphatic dodo.-
ration of Lord Palma .ston that the men, in common
justice, would be entitled to their discharge, it was
impossible to withhold it, in the case of any who
might demand it. We learn again from this
order, that the government of Ineia long since
submitted for the consideration of her Majesty's
Government the difficulty which had arisen,
and that the responsibility of the decision at last
announced does not rest with Lord Canning. The
mutiny at Berhamrnore, where the men it seems
have gone the lengih of entrenching themselves in
the barracks, and 4lecting fresh officers, has preci-
pitated the resolnlion now announced, in which
Lord Canning has: assumed, as we believe, a wise
responsibility. M ntiny is infectious, as we have
had too good exp.; Hence. The troops are by this
order deprived of all legitimate ground of com-
plaint, and it becomes the loyal amongst them to
manifest a just ine.:_gnation at these proceedings at
Berhampore, whiciL nothing could justify or even
palliate.
From general orviers elsewhere in our columns it
will be seen that iatportant reductions in the nume-
rical strength of tine native army are about to take
place. The step is in the right direction. We do
not want bayonets and artillery in the country ;
we want good government. The loyalty of the
people may easily be secured, if we set about con-
ciliating them in calmest.
We understand that the local government, fol-
