MADRAS SEPOY& •
TION THE 'MADRAS COVCILNIIIMT MUM&
It will be gratifying to many of our Readers to know, that the
Madras Sepoy Regiments, alluded to in the Right Honourable the
Governor-General's orders, of the llth of April, 1226, are—
Tbe Ist Rt. L C. (Head Quarters, Commanded by
two squadrons.) . . . Lieut. Col. Cameron.
la Rep. N. 1. . . . Lieut. Col. Nixon.
3d Regt or P L. I Lieut. Col. Woulfe.
7th Regt. N. I. . . . Lieut. Col. H. Smith.
9th Regt. N. I. . . . Lieut. Col. Brodie.
12th Rev. N. I. . . . Lieut. Col. Edwards.
18th Regt. N. I. . • • Major D. Ross.
22d Rey. N. I. . • • Major Evans.
28th Regt. N. I. . . . Major Kelso.
28th Regt. N. I. . . . Lieut. Col. Bishop.
30th Rest. N. I. . . . Lieut. Col. Parlby.
3241 Regt. N. I. . . Lieut. Col. T. Stewart.
34th Rte. C. L. L Lieut. Col. Pepper.
35th Regt. N. I. . . . Lieut. Col. G. Wahab.
56th Regt. N. I. . . Major Macqueen.
38th Itrgt. N. I. . . . Lieut. Col. 1). C. Smith.
43d Rev. N. I. . . ; Lieut. Col. Ferrier.
The 10th Regt. N. L under Lieut. Col. Mansell, and
The 16th Regiment N. I. under Captain Anderson, served the.
whole war in Arracan as a Brigade under Lieutenant-Colonel A.
Fair, and on which service Lieutenant Colquhoun Grant, C.B. of
his Majesty's 54th Foot, now in this garrison, also commanded a
Brigade.--The above Regiments, including volunteers and recruits
sent from time to time to complete them, make an embarkation of
20,000 native troops from the Presidency, besides 5,000 Europeans.
Such an armament, it will be allowed, reflects all the credit ex-
pressed by the Governor-General's orders on the military resources
of this establishment, and the devoted zeal and attachment of its
Native Army. Those best competent to judge of such interesting
and important matters, will most assuredly aver that too much
praise cannot be bestowed on the Commanding Othcen, who have
so successfully acquired the confidence of their men, who will now
embark on any service without asking " where they are going, or
when they are to return." And although the wisdom of Govern-
ment gave the option to all the Native Troops, who from preju-
dices of caste, or other causes, might be averse to follow their
colours beyond seas, yet we have it front the best authority, that
not more than one man per Regiment took advantage of this lati-
tude ; and several of them avowed their readiness to accompany
their comrades, but were too old and weakly to do so. The whole
of the desertions also have not exceeded twenty men.
