1. That *e the undersigned Memorialists, O.
ears commanding Native Corps upon the Madras
Establi‘liment, hate the honour, with all deference
nod respect, to solicit the attention of your Ho..
oourable Court to the subject of our Appeal,
which we, with the utmost duty and submission,
offer to your consideration.
2. Your Memorialists beg to state, that Capt.
Joao Mona°, of the Ersropean Regiment on this
Establishment, and Quarter-Master-General of
the Army, delivered some months since to the
Coromander-in-Chief at Madras, certain proposals
bearing dated 301 h June, 1803, recommending the
abolition of the Tent Contract, which, on the Ist
of July last-, was taken from Officers command.
ing Native Corps in your army at Madras.
3. Whether the Tent Contract, as consistent with
the good of the public servicepshould or should
not have continued to exist, is a subject your Me.
inorialisla will not presume to trouble your Ho-
nourable Court upon • but certain articles which
the Qoarter.Master-eneral has inserted in his
proposals, as natives that prevailed with him for
recommending the abolition of the Tent Contract,
your Alemorillists have to observe, no less excited
their surprise, than tZley did the feelings of poig-
nant concern, in perceiving such dishunootaidg
mocipleis so nojestty attribi, fed fo
4. Your Memorialists will here furnish the ex.
tracts from the Quarter-Master-General's propo-
sals, on which they ground their complaint to
your Honourable Court :

,6 Six sears experience of the practical effects of the ex-
syss of the camp equipage equipment or the Na-
tive Army has afforded means of forming a judgment rela-

tire to its advantages and efficiency, which were nut pos-

" se-sed by the persons who proposed its introduction; and
" attentive examination of its op, rations during that pt-
" rind of time his suggested the following observations re-
" garding it :—By gloating the some allowance in peace and
" wav for the equipment of a Native Corps, while the ex-
" peaces incidental to that charge are unavoidably much
" greater in war than in peace, it places the interest and
" duty of 011;:ers.rominanding Native Corps in direct op--
" position to oar another; it makes it their Interest that
" their corps !Mould not be in a state of efficiency fit for field
" service, and therefor- furnishes strong inducements to neg-
" lect their most important duties.
" By charging Co umanding Officers of Corps with eaten-
" sire conee;l3, immediately affecting their private interests,
iseakulated, pi.vilcularly in the field, to divert their atten-
tlisti and their pursuits from the discipline and manoge-
" went of their corps; objects that should furnish them with
" sufficient-employ meta for the whole of their time.
(Signet) " JOHN MUNRO,
Qlarter-.Master-',ieneral of the Army."

6. Your Memorialists, with the justest senti-
neat& of ilk:femme to your lion. court, beg to
elate that these articles unequivocally convey a
oust creel and *maws insult, as well as an inju-
rious aspersion (we all feel it) to officers who
have fuithially 'served their country, many fur
nearly 30 years, some snore, in affirming, that
epos the experience and observation of ins years,
funned upon the judgment of practical effect, it
appears, officers commanding native corps have
strong iuducements, from interest, to neglect'
their most important duties, in order that tveir
corpisshinthl not bu in a state of efficieucy fit for
field service.
6. Your Memorialists conceive that these as.
motions, in their application with regard to time,
and operation with respect to effect, are no less
than accusing them of having sacrificed the in.
terests and security of the public service for a base
purpose, and of having violated that trust n hich
your Honourable Court, which Government, and
which the Cummander in Chief, in certain confi.
dunce place in them. Your alemorialists perceive
iu them also an insinuation of an utter dereliction
of the pride of military spirit, iii their having a
wish, from pecuniary motives, not to be prepared,
to meet the enemies of their country.
7. Impressed with those piiiiiful sensations,
which such serious imputations cannot fail .to
create, your Memorialists, in. several _instances
aithotit delay, and with all possible respect, se-
parately addressed themselves to his Excellency the
Commauder iu Chief, Lieutenant.Generel flay
Macdowall, upon the. subject of the Quarter-
Mester-Geueral's allegations. His Excellency
had the condescension to answer the several up.
plicatintss of appeal ; but in a circular reply, ob-
serving in substance, that as he had nut been con-
sulted with regard to the abolition of the Tent
Contract, he dud not feel himself at liberty to in.
terfere in any matter connected with the subject,
upon individual application.
8. Your Aleinurialists have to state to your
Honourable Court, that, in consequence of this no-
tification, feeling the injury done theta by the in.
lineations in the Quarter.Master-Geiteral's mi.
nuts, they aeot,i,el the ineane of redress which ap.
peered to them to be most consistent with their
ideas of justice, and with the duty they owe to their
•
superior% submitted to their immediate principal,
I the Commaniler in Chief, the substance of their
complaints, in the form of a military charge; but
finding that this mode was considered by the.ludge-
Advocate-General to be irregular, or ineffectual
towards the vindication of their injured feelings,
they respectfully abide by that opinion fur the pre-
sent, mid have 4olicit.ad a suspension of the di.
red charge against the individual, while they ap-
pealed to the candour and justice of yOnr Hon.
Courts trusting it may please them to order
an investigation of the subject, as irons an invests.
gatites alone can they hope fur a removal of the
disgraceful impression which the insinuations in the
Quarter-Master-General's proposals are calcu..
fated to produce, and which your Memorialists in
confidence beg to assure your Honourable Court
are equally unfounded in fact as they are injurious
to the characters of the Officers of the Hotiourable
Company's army.
9. Your Memorialists have further to state to
your Honourable Court, that had the Quarter.
Master-General promulgated his injurious insole*.
twin, serious es they VC; in his capacity of Cap.

realists feel to complain, have treated theitapeolles.
bey with a dignified silence, or with private
dissuasive admonition ; bat, *armed with the
authority of the Quarter.fillaster.Geueral of the
Army, your Memorialists are of opinion that they
obtain a consequence and consideration, which it
is apprehended by than, fantail foil to influence
the pubic mind, not only is India, but in Europe;
and create a belief, that the Quarter.hlaster.
General could not possibly circulate such serious
assertions, against a body of Officers of that Arm)
of which he is Quarter-Master-Generall without an
existing just cause. •
10. To remove such an impression, and to Leta-
bl.sh, upon incontrovertihle testimony, that the
Officers commanding Native Corps have faithfully
fulfilled those duties which the public service int.
peels and requires from them, are the primary ob-
jects which gave birth to that solicitude on the
part of your Memorialists, fur an investigation..
A
A secondary object is to stamp, with due effect,
the nature of that offence, in promulgating tee!'
serious and erroneotni matter, so highly injurious
to their characters as Officers and Gentleman, as!
well as to the respectability of the !honourablel
Company's service in general..
It. Your Memorialists anxiously hope, that
when the magnitude of the subject of which they
complain, shall be taken into consideration by
your H 3nourable Court, it will fully Oppose to
your judgment that they are not actuated in. their
-ippeat,• by any frivolous or unreasonably tens.

pursuit of justice, which your Honourable Court,
in it, wisdom anal consideration, are ever disposed
to attend t.), with those who, under the feelings,

protection and support.
12. Your Memorialists through the medium
of their immediate superior, his Excellency the
Coonmander-iu.Chief, Lieut.-Gen.. Hay Macdo.
wall, transmit their memorial ; and in relying
upon that distinguished liberdlity and goodness
which have invariably marked his attentions to
them, to give their cause. that support which in

sentiment of profound respect and deference sub-
missively wait fur, and obediently conform to,
such decision, as your Honourable Court shall,
lu the justness of your wisdom, determine upon
their cause.

Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Jan. I.
" The Merchants have lately had se►eral confe-
renew with the Ministers of his Majesty on the
present state of affairs, and have submitted to
them, that trade has, since the Berlin and Atilan
decrees, taken quite a new direction, and is car.
ried on by very ciruitous routes.. by persons dis.
owned by the real Merchants. The Ministers
answered, that his Majesty's iuteirtion ♦as, that
Neutrals might trade freely with France, . and
France with Neutral Countries; that the above
mentioned decrees had been pointed . only %plait
the Commerce of England, and that, it they had
been misinterpreted, and a false meaning given to
them, the Merchants should make rept-ennui.
lions, which would be favourably heard.--It
already appears to he agreed, that the visit at
sea, a measure of policy adopted by all nations,
is oat a violation of ,neutral rights ; trod that the
Decree of Milan was intended only to prevent the
visit directed by the Order of Council of Novem-
ber Igo7, by. which Neutrals were obliged
to go to England, and there pay a tribute.
It is also understood, that the Embargo and Pro.
visional Sequestration of American Vessels in
France, were resorted to in consequence of .the
Embargo Law of America, followed by the Non-
. intercourse Act; the Americans who subsequently
came into our ports being considered as disguised
Englishmen ; and that S, ince America •has repealed
her law, ours should fall of themselves. The bier.
chants gaiter themselvei►, from these communica-
tions, and from the news lately received from
America, that the two Countries will probably
agree on some provisional basis, and permit trade
to resume its relations, reserving the ulterior deci.
lion on the great question of maritime rights. 4
