invitations from the Governor.

stages of those complains which are the uto,t in:porca::t 1:: r't
catalogue of human infirmities.

On the 25th of February, the officers of the 2d
battalion of the Ist Regiment of Royals were invited
to dine with the Governor on the Ist of March. At
a meeting held, it was resolved unanimously, with
the exception only of the Commanding Officer, that
they could not accept the invitation. They pleaded
previous engagements. The Governor was irritated
at this, and threatened to report their conduct to his
Royal Highness the Commander in Chief ; but on
the interference of General GOWDIE, the officers
yielded, and were to dine with the Governor on the
Ist of March.

The Ist battalion of the 18th Regiment, on arriv-
ing at Madras, waited in a body to pay their respects
to the Governor ; but on receiving an invitation to
dine with him, an hour afterwards, all declined the
invitation.

•
It is related, that after General MACDOWAL had
actually sailed, and the Governor had received his
General Orders, he ordered the heavy guns of the
fort to be fired to recal the fleet. The guns fired for
more than two hours, but it is not thought that the
Governor had any real intentions to recal the fleet. •
• • Among the unpleasant occurrenceswhich have arisen
from these dissentions, the Government ordered some
young men of the Institution 11 join their corps, for
the offence of having refused to mess with a young
man who had gone to one of Lady BahLow's parties.
It appears that, connected with the principal cause
of controversy, were various sources of jealousy, ari-
sing from the command-which the Civil Government
exercised, in ordering the march of the troops without
the privity of the Commander in Chief.
These are a few of the particulars which have
reached us from India ; and we have besides heard,
that the Court of Directors have already passed re-
solutions sanctioning the conduct of their Governor,
and, by implication, censuring that of their late Com-
mander in Chief. '
thin and orders it became the foundation of measures already
knows to the army. .
In these circumstances the Quarter-Master-General could be
considered no longer responsible for preceedings so sanctioned, and
it would have been inconsistent with the evident principles ofjus-
tice, that a public Officer should have been liable to the obloquy
of a trial for an actnot his, but that of his superiors. The question,
which in such case would have been submitted to the cognizance
of a Military Tribunal, would not have involved only a discussion
of the conduct of the Quarter-Master-General, but would have
extended to the measures of the principal civil and military autho-
rities in this country, ina-asures which had undergone thematurest
consideration, and which had been carried into effect under the
utost formal sanction. It must be apparent that a discussion, in-
volving consequences of this nature, would have been contrary to
law, contrary to reason, ruinous of public confidence, and subver-
sive of the foundations of military discipline and public authority.
Impressed with these sentiments, it became the solemn, the
bounden duty of the Governor in Council, on the fact being made
known by a communication from the Quarter-Master-Go:era!,
which, from the nature of the question, it became the right and
duty of that officer to submit, by direct reference, on the commu-
nication having been refused by the late Commander in Chief, to
interpose the authority of the Government for the prevention of
the most fatal evils . it was the wish, it was the earnest endeavour,
o! the Governor In Council to effect this object by every means
of conciliation and explanation ; but such means having been used
in vain, and having been repelled under circumstances highly of-
fensive) no alternative remained, than that of conveying a specific
order for the removal of the arrest:
The Governor in Council desires that the officers M the army
will be assured that this Government vatsuld not be less solicitous
to vindicate their honour and reputation by rejecting all Injurious
imputations, if such could have been supposed, than the Officers
of the army could have been solicitous in their own vindication.
The Governor in Council hap accordingly, under this impression, 1
i beea led to an attentive consideration of the expressions which
are understood to have been deemed objectionable; and he has no
hesitation in declaring, that it appears in his judgment impossibly,
underany correct construction, to attach any offensive meaning to
words where injury was not meant, and where the intention of
offence assuredly did not exist.
Having stated this explanation, the Honourable the Governor
in Council deemed it his further duty to observe, that the sues-
, tion which has been under deliberation is new considered as cora-
leluded. The further agitation of a subject of this nature would
be availing for no purpose but that of disturbing the established
course of public affairs, and for the excitement of feelings injurious
to order and authority ; and it will be accordingly of importance
to the public welfare, that the circumstances connected with it
should be.consigned to oblivion.—By order of the Hon. the Go-
vernor in Council, (Signed) G. BUCHAN,
Chief Secretary to Government.
