INDIAN ARMY.

Having published the Memorials from Sir A. Macleod
and General Nicols, for the better understanding the pro-
gress of the proceeding, we now publish Lord Comber-
mere's second and third letter to the Governor-General at
the time he forwarded these Memorials.

MOND Unlit OF LORD CONSERMIIIII TO THE GOVERNOR.
', Adjutant-General's Mice, 17th January, 1829.
" Sra—l have it in command from his Excellency the Right
Hon. the Commander-in-Chief, to request you will submit to the
Right Hon. the Governor-General in Council the inclosed letter
from Brigadier Sir A. Macleod, commanding the Artillery, with
the separate paper, to which is annexed the signature of the Officers
at Huns Dum.

" I. His Excellency, in his Address to the Governor-General of
the 11th ult. availed himself of the first opportunity of fully expres-
sing his sentiments on the .subject of the proposed deductions ;
and the opinion then deliberately offered to his Lordship in Coon-
di having undergone no change from the publication of the Govern-
ment Order of the 29th November, his Lordship hesitates not in
requesting the serious attention of Government to the respectful
and manly spirit in which a large proportion of the officers of a
gallant and distinguished corps have urged the consideration of
tiShe justice of which it is difficult, in his Excellency's judg-
nits;to deny.
" 5. Deeply as the Commander-in-Chief laments that it should
not have been thought advisable once more to suspend the opera-
tion of orders, which, on the fullest consideration, had twice been
pronounced impracticable, he is impressed with the conviction that
the interests affected by the Governor-General's decision could
have been secondary to no consideration but a strong sense of pub-
lic duty, involving the principle of obedience to the reiterated
orders of legitimate authority.
" 4. If, however, his Lordship in Council should now deem it
expedient to deliberate on this first appeal of a part of the offi-
cers of the army to an indulgent but important consideration
of their claims, their wants, and their disappointed hopes, bis
Lordship, I am commanded to acquaint you, will assure the
Governor-General, being persuaded that a nearer view of the
feelings and interests under discussion would change the ap.
parently fixed opinion of the home authorities, he will gladly incur
an ample Aber, of the responsibility which would be the conse-
quence of Government thinking proper to accede to the request
since submitted to it.

" 5. I am further commanded to desire that you will submit to
the Right Hon. the Governor-General, that in the earnet.tness

with which a painful interesting subject has been urged nn his
attention his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has not per-
mitted considerations connected with personal feelings, howevet
intrusive suck feelings may have been, to blend themselves with
his views of justice and policy. Anxious to make known to Go-
vernment the claims the necessities, and the certain and impend-
ing difficulties of the army he commands, he has endeavoured
for a moment to forget that he witnessed the gallantry of that
army—that he has shared its dangers, and that to its exertions and
exploits he is indebted for some of the honours which his Sove-
reign has graciously been pleased to confer on him.
(Signed) " C. FAGAN, Adjutant-Gen.
" To the Secretary to Government."

" Sta—l have the honour to forward Memorials from Major.
General Sir J. Nicola, &c. &c.
" His Excellency having, on two distinct occasions submitted
to his Lordship, in Council, his sentiments on the policy, the jus-
tice, and the tendency of these orders, can but repeat how sin-
cerely he laments that there should he such cause for the deep-
toned feelings of distress and alarm which pervade the representa-
tions to which they have given rise.

(Signed) " C. FAGAN, Adjt.-Gen.
" To the Secretary of the Government."

setting it now.—l ant, Sir, your obedient Servant.
