The Governor General in Council has deemed'jrt
necessary to apprize the army of. B'engal, of as
event. so deeply interesting to t tie fitelings of ever!
loyal subject, and especially of those who have
theh onour to bear a military commission..-=-'
The Governor Gene:al in Council has received
with sentiments of the deepest afflidion, the
intilligence 'of the excesses into which the .
Officers of the station of Masunpatitm, 'have
thus been gradually
.ted by the effects of the
late prevailing; agitation in the Army of the Coasts,
He trusts, however, that this unhappy event will
afford a serious' but salutary warning of the danger
to which the combined interest of the public and
the army must ever be expos(-d, by the first and
slightest departure from the established priticiples of
military discipline, on one hand, and, on the other,
of a just subordination to the laws of their country,
and to the legitimate authority of the state.
The occurrence of this affliaing event, combined
with the agitation which unhappily prevails among
the Officers of the Army of Fort St. George, renders.
it the duty of the Governor General to proved
out delay to that Presidency, in the hope of ben-4,
enabled successfully to appeal to tho'se sentiments of
loyalty and attachment to their King and couivr-f,
which his Lordship in Council yet cenfidently ns-
cribes tb the general body of • the Officers of tbc•
Coast Army, whose zeal, fidelity, and prof ssint,a
achievements have hitherto been the theme of jtkst
and unqualified applause, and, by an accurate
ledge of all the circumstances which have a t.ndecit
the late agitation, to devise such means ass may hest;
tend to avert the impending dangers of anarchy and'
insubordination, and re-establish the foundaions of
public security and national prosperity, in this inn•
portant branch of the British Empire.

BUONAPARTE has contriver! to make himself an
Emperor, but nothing will make him a Gentleman.
The circumstance of sitting with his hat on before
his vassal Kings and Queens, is such an excess of
arrogance and insolence, as could only be espeiaed
from such a vulgar upstart, and must add to the
contemnt, as well as the detestation, i,‘ which his
character is held. In fact, the man is so swollen with
pride at his, astonishing elevation, that it has nearly
turr,ed'his brain, and it would not be wonderful if
he were at last to imitate ALEXANDER the Great,
and hold himself forth as the son of JUrITER, ur
even, perhaps, in the excess of his presumtititm,, as
(hp offsvring of a Deity nth labuluus,
