When the news of the insurrection first reached
Calcutta, a Sardinian frigate, Ii Beroldo, was then
in harbour, and the Sardinian consul, acting upon
his own responsibility immediately tendered to the
Government the use of the artillerymen on board.
The King of Sardinia's Government have highly
approved of this step taken by the consul, and
it has received the best thanks of the British Go-
vernment. The gotx.l feeling of warm friendship
evinced by this act is above all praise.

SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S REPORT ON

TliE INDIAN ARMY.

Yesterday was issuel a return to au order of the House of
Commons containing extracts " of such parts of a report
addressed by Sir harles Napier, og the 27th day of Nevem:
ber, 1819, to the Governor-General of India, as relate to the
state and discipline of the Indian army." The extracts are
as follow :

-- .. .
" SIR CHARLES NAPIER TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
" A general report on the military state of India, 27th ,
N6vember, 1849.
"The defence of our Indian empire is confided to four
distinct armies —Queen's, Bengal, Madras, and Bo .obay, con-
sisting collectively of about 300,00) fighting men and 400
pieces of field artillery, ready for war, without including
those of position, mounted on forts, or lying in our arsenals.
" This is a vast army, and it is in a good state of disci-
pline, complete in its equipments, full of high courage, and a
high military spirit reigns through all ranks ; it is also neces-
sary to say that this force could be doubled without any in-
jurious pressure on the population, and that every part of
India can furnish recruits in abundance ; our service is ex-
treu4ly popular, and the troops faithful to a proverb. There
are '-me things which admit of correction, and these may be
put right when the Commander-in-Chief is placed on a proper
footing, but not till then. I shall consider these matters in
another letter. Let it here suffice to say, it is my decided
opinion that this magnificent army is sufficient to guard In-
dia at presnt, and that the annexation of the Punjaub does
not, or at least need not, demand al additional regiment. I
shall now proceed to the consideration of the immediate occu-
pation of the Punjaub.
" For this, and, indeed, for every purpose, I think that
Delhi is the proper place for our great magazines. It lies in
a central position to supply troops and reinforcements. For
this reason, also, I think that the head-quarters of the Ar-
tillery should be marched to Delhi or Meerut, as may be here-
after arranged.
" The great principle to follow in India, as regards armed
forces, I think is this : to have a large well-organised police
to do all those duties for the civil branches of the Govera-
ment that require armed men ; such as occasional guards for
civil servants, escorts of treasure, putting down robbers, ar-
resting men by order of the civil power; in short, a consta-
bulary force that leaves the military to their own duties.
" There is scarcely any illness which the troops suffer from
that may not be traced to want of room in be.' racks.
"I have heard that Lord llardinge objected to the as-
sembling of the Indian troops, for fear they should conspire.
I confess I cannot see the weight of such an opinion. I have
never met with an Indian officer who held it, and I certainly
do not hold it myself ; and iew men have had more opportu-
nities of judging of the armiesof all three Presidencies than I
have. Lord Hardinge saw but the Bengal army, and that
only as Governor-General, and for a short time ; I hive
studied them for nearly eight years, constantly at the head
of Bengal and Bombay Sepoys, and I can see notlyng to fear
from them, except when ill-used ; and even t`, en they are
less dangerous than Hritish troops would be in s milar cir-
cumstances. I see no danger in their being massed, and
very great danger in their being spread over a country as
they now are; on the contrary, I believe - that, by concen-
trating the Inian army as I propose, its spirit, its devotion,
and its power will all be increased."
