CALCUTTA, Aug 22--I is the chief design
of our present publication TO submit TO the public
view of the extraordinary events that are now
passing on the coast, and which are of such mo-
mentous consequence, as almost to preclude
at the present moment, attention to any other OBJ
jeets.
His msiesty's 65th regiment arrived at NJ .tl-
ras on the 18Th inst board the CORVALLIS fri
gate, the Boomoolah and Windham country
ships. Off Ceylon, the CORVALLIS saw French
frigate; but captain Montague could not give
chase, under the positive orders with which he
was charged, respecting the troops proceeding
under his convoy to Madras
The CORVALLIS sailed frpmMadras to the north
ward, in consequence of some unpleasant intel
ligence from thence.
The military force assembled at Madras, under
the orders of government ofthat presidency, were
TO march on the 18th inst. for Venore
G. O. PARA. /. The honorable the govern
or in council, judges it proper to announce to
the native troops, that the very improper con-
duct Of some of the European officers Of the
comrany's service, and the refusal of others to
acknowledge their allegiance to the government,
have rendercd it indispensably necessary to re-
move for time considerable number of Eu.
rcpean officers from the exercise of authority
2. This measure will not however affect i'm a.
ny respect the situation of the native troops, who
piust know that their first duty is to the govern
nent which they serve, and from which all All.
thority j. derived.
3 The governor in council entertains the same
soiIcisude for the welfare and comfort of the ma.
tive troops that has invariably been manifested bv
the British government.
He has intention whatever of making a.
ny changes in their situation and he expects that
the native troops will display on every emerscn-
cy the mistaken fidelity to government which
constitutes the first duty of soldier, that they
will obey with zeal the orders of the officers
when the government shall place in authority
over them, that they viii refuse beEeft1 all
reports circulated to agitate their minds and d.
miuish their confidence in the government, and
that they will not allow themselves to be nyolv-
ed IN measures IN any respect adverse to their
duty and allegiance.
S. The governor in council is pleased to ex.
press his appreciation of the good conduct which
has been recently manifested by the native troops
at the presidency, in the camp at the Mount, at
Irichmopoly and at Vellore, and he is confident
that their behavior will be equally correct and
loyal at all other stations Of the arInv
