DEPARTURE OF GENERAL SIR COLIN

CAMPBELL.

We announced yesterday the departure of this
gallant and distinguished officer for India. Ac-
companied by his aides de camp, Major Collinson
and Sir David Baird, he left the London-bridge
stition by the express mail train at 8.30 p.m. At
Dover he was received by Captain Smithett and a
number of officers of bis favourite corps, the 42d,
with whom he entered into the most friendly con-
verse during the few minutes previous to embark-
ation, and on bidding them " good bye," expressed
his assurance that they would soon follow him. On
embarking in. the Royal and Imperial mail steam
p icket Imperatrice, a spontaneous cheer marked
the depa' ture of the favourite chief.
We may add to the following account from a con-
temporary, that so htirried was the general's ar-
rangements, that it was after banking hours that it
was found he required money to "pay the way,"
and shopkeepers - and tradesmen supplied the
"ready" for the expedition
"Sir Colin Campbell is at this moment speeding by
express through France to catch the outward mad.,
which has been delayed for the purpose of conveying the
new Commander7in-Qhief to the scene of his duties. It
was on Satn day only that the Government received
intelligence of ttte melancholy death of General A.fiaon,
who appears to have been struck down by cholera while
hastening to the scene of action. General Sir. IL So-
merset is the officer next in seniority to Gen. Anson,
and be will theretoro assume the acting command until
the arrival of instructions from I±l,,gland. On Saturday
afternoon only was the post offered to Sir Colin, with
the question, 'How soon could he start l' Most men
would have considered that next mail' would have been
a prompt and satisfactory answer. Sir Colin Campbell,
to his honour, with the simplicity and ardour of a true
hero, replied.'To-morrow. morning ! Sop the. Mar-
seilles boat, and I'll catch her, and I can get all I want
in Calcutta as well as in London.' The gallant veteran
"il therefore off to the scene of former triumphs where,
under Sir C. Napier, in command of a brigade, he took
part in that immortal Scinde campaign, one of the
most brilliant achievements of our Indian military
history."
Sir Colin Campbell arrived in Paris to-day, ac.
conopanied by a number of superior officers. He pro-
ceeds to Marseilles immediately.

The arrangements for the Queen's reception
were made regardless of any expenditure, but were
remarkable for elegance and complete rather than
unnecessary magnificence.
The entrance hall, staircase, and other ap-
proacb es to the principal salooons were well lighted,
and ornamented in every vacant niche and spac3 by t
a profusion of the choicest flowers. The drawing- 1

valuable paintings by the ancient masters, and is

Their serene Highness Prince and Princess Ed-

Highness Prince Frederick of Holstein was also

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge

Her Majesty and the Prince Consort were accom-

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1857,

In another part of our impression will be found

nll details of the progress of events in India.

Although not worso than might be expected, there
are unquestionably grave causes, we shall not say

or alarm—but for that prontpt and vigorous

action which can alone (poll the military insubor-

dination, that so extensively prevails throughout
the sepoys of the Bengal Army. Wo find whole

regiments rising en masse and turning their arms
against those by whom thoy were entrusted to their
hands, from whom they received pay and clothing,

and whose bread and salt they had eaten. Tn others
there aro numerous desertions, men, who had

previously appeared faithful, abandoning their

colours on the most frivolous and insufficient pre

teat=, probably going off to join the insur-
gent, and take service with the Mock King oi
Delhi ; or, possibly, to carry on a guerilla war.

fare in various districts.

It is manifest, from what has already come to
light, that the religious complaints have been
mere pretexts, paltry excuses, to give a different

colour to the real feelings ; and perhaps to gain
the co-operation of a few fanatics amongst the
troops and the Native population. We must, then,
strive to ascertain, so far as practicable, the true
state of affairs—to search out the causes that
have led to these calamitous results. This in-
quiry must be conducted without foar or favour,
prejudice or affection. The matter is of sucti vast
importance to the welfare, prosperity, and security
of the Anglo-Indian Empire, that no man, or body
of men, can be screened or protected. Let us
seek the fountain and origin of the alleged griev-
ances, discover how far they aro well-founded or
the reverse, and distribute strict justice to all

parties concerned.
So far as the mutineers are concerned, the
ringleaders must be brought to condign punish-
ment. Nothing could possibly justify the course
they have adopted—not only deserting from their
ranks, but being guilty of the most heartless
and sanguinary atrocities, not merely against their
officers, but against every European, and sacrifi-
cing even helpless women and innocent children
to their insane wrath ! There can be no tempo-
rising, no compromise in such a case. The
mutiny must be suppressed at any cost, the spirit
of insubordination thoroughly and completely
crushed, and, as we have stated, the ringleaders
severely punished. Unless that be accomplished,
the prestige by which a handful of Europeans
have controlled 120,000,000 of Asiatics, will be
for ever destroyed, and our empire sapped at its
very foundation. The best means have been
adopted for that purpose. Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL
has shown that he is "ready, aye ready for the
field." The gallant veteran started At a moment's
notice, and his very name will be worth ten thou-
sand soldiers. He has exhibited the promp-
titude- of brave old CHARLIE NA?IER, and
will, we trust and believe, prove himself
a worthy successor to that renowned general ! Sir
PATRICK GRANT too, was as good a man as could
beprocured on the emergency, and with " the right
men in th. 3 light places" we may draw the most
auspicious auguries as to the triumph of the good

cause.

But it is not merely generals, but European
soldiers that are r-quired. Every effort must be
made !_Any petty economy in the present instance
would be wholly misplaced. It would indeed be
" a penny wise, and pound foolish policy." It
appears that 20,000 English troops are to be des-
patched to the scene of action, and that their
places are to be supplied by calling out the regi-
ments of militia cc recently disembodied. What-
ever other troops can be spared should also be
sent, and a short act might be passed authorising
regiments of militia, who volunteer for the pur-
pose of participating in the contest. We are
greatly mistaken if these gallant moa will not
readily respond to the demands that may
be made, and prove themselves fully wor-
thy of the confidence that has been
reposed in their fidelity and bravery. There
will be no lack of transports. Tile Royal Navy
mmt bear its share in the struggle. Our leviathan
ships of war could carry out, with but little delay,
many thousand troops, and we are satisfied that
both officers and men would willingly sacrifice
every personal feeling, and rejoice to make View-
selves useful in any way that may be required fur
the national benefit.
We shall not now enter into the vexed ques-
tion of " who is t) blame"--whether the regi-
mental officers, or the company's regulations.
There are, we fear, faults on both sides.
Very bitter feelings towards the regiment il
officers have unquestionably been displayed, and
this would lead to the inference, that they had
not sufficiently cultivated the good will of those
placed under their command. It is said that
there has been too much of an exclusive feeling
displayed; that they have held aloof from the
native officers, and assumed the airs of a superior
race. These matters may, however, be fully and
clearly explained, and GOD forbid that wo should
condemn, or even censure a gallant body of men,
our own brethren engaged in arduous and impor-
tant d uties, without giving them ample opportunities
of being heard in their own defence.
On the other hand, it is boldly asserted that the
vexatious regulations of the Company are mainly re-
sponsible. We do not venture to prejudge the issue.
All we demand is a stringent investigation, that
will place the responsibility on the right shoul-
ders, and such measures, as the results of that in-
vestigation may prove to be imperatively required.
No time can be lost. The first step may decide
the contest ; that step should be taken under the
sanction of Parliament. Tlae nation has already
suffered sufficiently from the abdication of its legis-
lative functions, and short as is the period previous to
the prorogation, opinions may be ventilated, and
measures carried, that will place matters on a
right foundation, and ou•iblo us to await patiently
the event, confident that we have done all
in our power to make it that which the honour,
welfare, and security of our Sovereign Lady the
QUEEN and her dominions, imperatively demand.
