been completed; but Her Majesty trusts,
nv the earnest efforts of the conctractng
parties to the treaty, all that remains to be
done with reverence to the stipulations may
ere long, be satisfactorily settled.
Her Majesty commands us to inform you
that extensive mutinies which have broken
out among the native troops of the army Of
Bengal, followed by serious disturbances in
many parts of that Presidency, have occa-
stoned Her Majesty extreme concern; and
barbarities which have been inflicted upon
many of Her Majesty's subjects in India,
and the suferings which they have endured,
have filled Her Majesty's heart with the
deepest grief; while the conduct of many
civil and military officers, who have been
placed in circumstances of much difficulty.
and are being exposed to great danger, ex-
cited her warmest admiratian.
Her Majesty commands us % inform you
sh6twill omit no measures calculated to quell
these grave disorders, and is confident that,
with the blessing of Providence, powerful
aid at her disposal will enable her to accom-
plish that end.
