27th Regiment. —The head-quarters of this regiment, at
Graham's Town, Cape of Good Hope, were to embark on the
15th July, for Port Elizabeth. The South African Journal
contains the following General Order:—

"The Lieutenant-i4overnor and Colonel commanding on
the frontier cannot permit the departure of the 27th without
expressing his entire approbation of the excellent and soldier-
like conduct which has distinguished this corps curing its
long and useful service in the eastern districts; and he re-
quests to express to Lieut.-Colonel Johnstone the great satis-
tacti,ar he derived in observing, at his recent inspection, not-
withstanding the disadvantages to perfect discipline by the
remotely detached services in which the corps has been em-
ployed on this frontier, that there has been no deviation in the
good system of interior economy, or in that perfect harmony
and unanimity which have ever characterised the Innis-
killiners, and which Colenel Hare most earnestly hopes may
continue uninterrupted. On such an occasion as the present
of a separation, for the first time, from his distinguished
corps, whose fortunes he has followed for 46 years, and
whose gallantry he has proudly witnessed in every quarter of
the globe, to have conspicuously added to the glories of the
British army, Colonel Hare cannot but feel deep and sincere
sorrow • and in giving expression to those feelings which the
warmth of natural affection and the recollection of time

king past forcibly produce in him, he now bids his gallant
comrades and fellow-soldiers farewell, with an assnrance of
his best wishes for their welfare and happiness, and an offer
of his fervent prayer, should it be their lot to be again called
to the field in defence of their Sovereign's honour and their
country's rights, that the God of battles will continue to carry
them forward to honour and to victory.
