mountain barriers afford protection against British art, enterprise, and valour. Having recently and frequently had occasion to convey my thanks to the troops under my command, for their zeal, devotion, patient endurance of fatigue, and gallantry, in such language as each occasion demanded, I find myself unable to give expression, in language suitable to the present occasion, to my acknowledgments and thanks; I must, therefore, request the major-general to imagine the nature and extent of both to Major Clemons and Capts. Bayley and Gillanders, as the principal commanders of the attacking troops, and to all the officers, non-commissioned officers, rank and file, under my command, each and all of whom nobly performed their duty. To divert the attention of the enemy as much as possible from the real point of attack, and prevent any reinforcements being detached from the posts held by them in front of my left and centre positions, I sent instructions to Major George, C.B., of H. M.'s 22nd regt., commanding the left; Capt. Jones, of the 2nd Bombay Europ. L.I., commanding the centre, and to Capt. Fraser, of the 5th regt. Madras L. C., commanding the reserve in rear of the three positions, to make demonstrations of attack, so soon as the troops from brigade head-quarters were seen advancing for the attack of Sewapoor. My thanks are due to these officers for the manner they carried out my orders, for I had a view from my commanding position of the operations simultaneously carried on by all the troops this morning. Subjoined is a list of casualties, which, considering the nature of the service carried on yesterday and to-day, may be considered small. I deeply regret that Lieut. Thompson, of the 2nd Bombay Europ. L. I., has been wounded severely, by which the services of a zealous and gallant young officer will, I fear, be lost for some time to his regiment and the brigade. This report would have been forwarded before, but the return of casualties has only just been received. I have, &c. (Signed) J. WALLACE, Lieut. col. comg. 1st inf. brig. Camp near Sewapoor, 17th Jan. 1845. No. 3. Assistant Adjutant-General's Office, S.D. A. Camp, Hunmunt Ghaut, 19th Jan. 1845. Sir, I am directed by the major-general commanding the field force to acknowledge the receipt of your letter (No. 2), dated 17th inst., reporting the capture of Sewapoor by a detachment of the troops of your brigade under Major Clemons on that day, together with a report of some skirmishing with the enemy by a party under Capt. Bayley on the previous evening. The conduct of the troops engaged on both these occasions is highly satisfactory to the major-general; but your having directed their advance, after the receipt of my letter (No. 1) of the 16th inst. (not to advert to previous letters on the subject), remains unexplained. I am desired, therefore, to request your stating, for the major-general's information, the reasons why you have taken upon yourself to disobey his instructions, thereby frustrating his plan of combined operations detailed in the 3rd para. of my letter about quoted. I have, &c. (Signed) P. DONNELLY, Capt. A. A. gen. S. D. A. To Lieut. col. Wallace, comg. 1st brig. (Signed) (True copy.) P. DONNELLY, Capt. A. A. gen. S. D. A. To the Assistant Adjutant-General, Southern Division of the Camp, Hunmunt Ghaut. Sir, I am just honoured by the receipt of your letter (No. 3) dated 19th, in reply to mine (No. 2) dated 17th inst. In reply, I have the honour to state,-First, the attack and capture of Sewapoor was not by a detachment of my brigade, as assumed in your letter, but by the brigade itself, under my immediate order and observation. Second, I am happy to find that the major-general has been pleased to express himself in terms of approbation and commendation of the conduct of the troops engaged in skirmishing with the enemy on the 16th under Capt. Bayley, and the attack, capture, and retention of Sewapoor by those under Major Clemons on the 17th inst.; and I beg to add, no troops sould have acted better. Third, my reasons for carrying on rapid operations were,-1st. By the occupation of this droog, and immediate descent of a portion of my troops, the enemy were completely taken by surprise, and rendered all their stockaded passes and jungles, and cut up roads on the Sewapoor side of the valley of no avail, all which having been effectually turned: a descent they must have deemed impossible, otherwise they would have defended it, which they easily could have done by only a few men posted below. 2nd. Had I delayed making an attack upon Sewapoor after Capt. Bayley's report, which was duly transmitted to division head-quarters with my letter (No. 2), and from which it appears evident that Sewapoor could be taken by the troops under my orders, which the enemy might have surmised, and which I was certain of accomplishing without any co-operation of other troops, I feel certain the enemy could and would very easily have strengthened and stockaded the approaches from this side towards Sewapoor as effectually as they have done all the passes, jungles, and roads leading to that village, from points where they had reason to expect the advance of our troops; and had they done so, my co-operation with Col. Carruthers would have been frustrated, and consequently the very great advantages gained by the descent of the scarp been rendered altogether abortive; and acting upon the principle of "in war, time gained is half the battle won," and making certain of a successful termination to the enterprise, both the conception and execution of which entirely originated with and were ordered by me, I was willing to incur the serious responsibility alluded to in your letter (No. 1), dated 16th inst., which was only received after all the arrangements had been made, and most of the troops and two of the mortars to be employed already collected below the scarp rock for the attack of Sewapoor; and I feel persuaded that, had the major-general been present, he would have seen the necessity of at once attacking Sewapoor, where the greater portion of my troops are located. 3rd. Col. Carruthers, with whom I was required to co-operate, himself, in an official letter to the political superintendent of Sawunt Warree, an authenticated copy of which was transmitted for my information, distinctly stated his inability to advance and co-operate with the troops above the ghauts till the burning season, which was another reason for my not delaying the attack upon Sewapoor; for if the object be its capture, it has now been as effectually attained as if the combined attack had been made by both brigades, whilst, in a moral point of view, the capture of so important a place by so small a body of troops, by the means adopted, must assuredly be much greater than if a large number had been congregated for that purpose. If taking the Gudkerries as prisoners by a combined attack was also contemplated, I have no hesitation in stating that it would not have succeeded, for the nature of the country in the vicinity of the fort on the Sewapoor side of the valley is such that no number of troops could prevent the enemy from escaping whenever they pleased, whilst delay on my part, after Sewapoor was open to attack, for even one day, would have prevented its capture, without sacrificing a very large number of my troops,-a sacrifice that has been rendered unnecessary by the promptitude of the attack, afrer discovering the most vulnerable point for that purpose. It was my intention, as it was my wish, to have co-operated with Col. Carruthers; but the force of circumstances prevented it, for I did not feel myself justified in relinquishing immediate and certain advantages for remote problematical ones, resulting from a combined attack of any place situated in such a country as this upon any particular day, whilst the previous occupation of Sewapoor by my troops must facilitate the advance of the colonel's brigade, inasmuch as the enemy will not feel inclined to place themselves between two fires. Under these circumstances, I trust the major-general will be of opinion that I had no alternative but to take Sewapoor, and convince him that, in conducting the operations of the brigade under my command, I have but one motive, viz. the good of the public service. I have, &c. (Signed) J. WALLACE, Lieut. col. comg. Ist inf. brig. Camp near Sewapoor, 19th Jan. 1845. No. 5. Head-quarters, S D. A., Camp Hunmunt Ghaut, 3rd Feb. 1845. Sir, I have now, in continuation of my letter (No. 15) of the 29th ult., the honour to forward Lieut. col. Outram's and Major Clemons' reports, the only remaining ones to which I had referred. My general plan of operations was to hold the head of the ghauts above Manohur and Munsuntosh with the 1st and 2nd brigades, whilst Col. Carruthers' and Col. Outram's brigades below should sweep the Sewapoor and Gotia valleys that terminated at and are separated by the high ridge running into the Koncan on which the two forts stand, and gradually drive forward the insurgents into the last of their strongholds, as it were into a cul-de-sac. To ensure full success to this plan, it was essential to secure the passes from the upper country, commanding the Manohur ridge (Dund-kee-wat), which will account for my repeated instructions to Col. Wallace to this effect. 2nd. Col. Outram's force could not be assembled so as to move from Warree before the 16th, and he had to carry several strong positions in the Gotia valley; I therefore deferred any attack on Sewapoor till the 20th, by which time I calculated Col. Outram would have reached Shersingee, and be in readiness to act on the other side of the forts at the same time that their investment would be commenced from this. 3rd. It was an important object to act together and form as many quarters as possible on Sewapoor, where the insurgents, depending on the numerous stockades they had strongly erected on the various lines of approach to it, and in the proximity of their forts, were known to be in strength, and the chances of striking a heavy blow were considerable, if all partial attack was abstained from. I had information as to the sides of all their defences on the Koncan side, so that little loss need have been sustained in clearing them. My sanguine hopes were frustrated by Col. Wallace's precipitate advance on Sewapoor, on the 17th ult., as already reported. The ridge this officer selected for his attack was admirably adapted for a small body of infantry, and he deserves credit for the boldness of the design, and ingenuity with which the difficulties were overcome; but I deeply regret his having carried thither all his disposable force, thereby leaving open the entrances to the valley, and doubling the difficulties attending the investment of the forts. 4tb. Col. Carruthers advanced from his position below the Hunmunt Ghaut, and Col. Brough, with the 2nd brigade, descended on Sewapoor by different routes on the 20th, the day previously fixed. For particulars, I beg to refer to the reports of these officers forwarded on the 29th ult. Having now received the reports of operations in the southern side of the forts, I beg also to transmit them, with a few explanatory remarks. 5th. Colonel Carruthers was directed to assume command of the troops in the Sewapoor valley after junction with Col. Wallace's brigade, the better to insure the complete investment of the forts. Col. Carruthers met with but little co-operation from Col. Wallace above the ghauts. The junction between Cols. Carruthers and Outram, that I had directed to take place for the attack on Gotia no the 21st, could only partially be effected, for reasons stated in the first-named officer's report. Gotia was on Col. Outram's side of the forts, whilst Col. Carruthers had exceedingly difficult ground to march over, infested by the enemy on both flanks, and a precipitous ridge to ascend. The 200 men sent forward by Col. Carruthers reached Gotia shortly after it had fallen. Col. Outram has omitted to notice this junction in his report; it, however, placed at his disposal a company of the 3rd Madras L.I., under Capt. Allan, to occupy the post on the ridge under Manohur, which Col. Outram had just secured. Carruthers also cleared the Gotia (or Kurwattee) Ghaut, to facilitate the advance of the troops from above the ghauts and secure the fort ridge, so that supplies might be poured down into the valley on either side of it. Col. 6th. The investment of the forts was now nearly completed, for Col. Carruthers had, on the 16th, cleared away seven stockades defending the approach to the Munsuntosh ridge from this side; and Col. Outram, advancing from the other on the 20th, established a post on the top, in a very judicious position, that completely hemmed in the garrison from that quarter. I had directed Col. Carruthers on the same day to push forward an outpost, in connection with Col. Outram, whereby the westward line of communication between the troops acting in the two valleys, north and south of the forts, and with my head-quarters, would have been completed; but this officer only partially carried out this intention, which explains the disappointment in Col. Outram's diary of the 20th. 7th. Early on the 22nd, 300 of the 1st brigade, under Major Clemons, were sent from Sewapoor to Gotia, and, as will appear by this officer's report annexed, have since been employed in in. vesting the S. E. quarter of Manohur, in conjunction with Col. Outram, this officer taking up the ground from their left to the summit of Munsuntosh ridge, which position he selected for his attack. Cols. Carruthers' and Brough's brigades watched over the remaining portion of the forts, viz. the E. and N. faces. Owing to the nature of the ground, the width and strength of the eastern face, and the narrowness of the western, the difficulties of investment on the opposite sides have not, perhaps, been sufficiently alluded to in Col Outram's remarks. Capt. Allan's attack on the fortified temple proves the difficulty, before time had been given to bring artillery to bear on it, and I waited the chief engineer's and artillery officer's report of the points recommended for attack to decide where to send the artillery, and from what quarter I could myself most effectually superintend the operations. It is evident that a reconnoissance by these officers could only be completed after the occupation of the Sewapoor and Gotia valleys, on the 20th and 21st. In the meantime, I assisted Col. Outram's vigorous attempt on Munsuntosh fort by forwarding him two more mortars (carried first by mistake to Sewapoor), and also directed my extra aidde-camp, Capt. Jacob, to join him, placing 150 men from Col. Carruthers' brigade, under his orders, to render such further aid in that quarter as Col. Outram might wish to avail himself of. This detachment assisted in investing the western face of the fort, and joined in the assault on the 25th. 8th. The forts are of great natural strength, being of solid rock, rising in no place less than 150 perpendicular feet from the summit of the irregular ridge, that raises them to a level with the Deccan; a battering-train was therefore useless, and I was obliged to trust alone to bombardment. The valleys were no sooner cleared of the enemy, than the principal point of attack-viz. a spur running from the N. E. angle of Manohur-was selected, and four 8-inch mortars placed in position with a celerity that merits my thanks. Light field-mortars had previously been established on the ridge E. and W. of the forts. The escape of the garrison on the night of the 26th is deeply to be regretted, but the rapidity with which operations were carried on against them produced a panic, which has led to a much earlier possession of the forts than I had ventured to promise myself. 9th. Col. Carruthers has been successful in capturing some of the garrison who were concealed in the jungle near Manohur, and Col. Outram is in hot pursuit of the rest along the Gotia valley, in the direction of the Goa territory. I have directed Col. Wallace, after sending back H.M.'s 22nd regt. to Kolapoor,-where, Mr. Reeves writes me, further seditious movements are in agitation,-to sweep the edge of the ghauts to the southward, in co-operation with Col. Outram's movements below, and Col. Carruthers has been instructed to make a corresponding movement on the other flank. 10th. I have placed a small garrison in the forts until they can be dismantled, as far as their natural strength will admit of; and, this being the best central position I can well hold, I await here the turn of events and the instructions of his Excellency. 11th. It only remains for me to bring to his Excellency's notice the cordial support and assistance which I have received from Lieut. col. Carruthers, c.B.; Lieut. col. Brough, commanding 2nd brigade; Lieut. col. Outram, c. B.; Lieut. col. Lloyd, c.B., commanding artillery, and Major Peat, c.B., commanding engi. neer; and from all ranks who were actually employed in the attack and investment of the forts of Manohur and Munsuntosh. Capt Jacob, of the 2nd grenadiers, my extra aid-de-camp, has received just tribute-praise from Lieut. col. Outram; that officer, regret, received a severe contusion on the back in the attack on Munsuntosh, by which I am deprived of the services of an active, zealous, and enterprising officer, whose valuable aid and assistance merited my warmest acknowledgments. 12th. The gallant conduct of the troops have been as conspicuous as they have been at all times whenever they come in contact with the enemy. Their patient endurance, under fatigue and privation of no ordinary nature, are entitled to every commendation. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, To the Adj. gen, of the Army, Bombay. No. 6. D. A. Quarter-Master General's Office, S. D. A. Camp Hunmunt Ghaut, 18th Jan. 1845. Sir, I am desired by the general officer commanding to request that you will lose no time in occupying the best position on the edge of the ghaut, supposed to be Susseedroog, for com. manding the Dund-kee-wat, or ridge communicating with the fort of Manohur. It is the general's object to form a junction with Col Outram's force across this ridge, and you will see the importance of clearing the Kurwatee ghaut leading to it, and of establishing a post on it, by which your own communication from above may be facilitated, and the enemy be prevented harassing the communication between the troops now about to occupy both sides of this ridge. A Lieut. col. Carruthers' brigade advances on Sewapoor by the lower or river route, on the morning of Monday, the 20th. force under Col. Brough will move hence the same day by Anjoura and the Jimma-cha-gol, in co-operation. Your instructions relative to this combined movement were transmitted to you in letter (No. 1), dated 16th inst., from the assistant adju. tant-general. On forming the desiderated junction, you will act under the orders of Col. Carruthers, the senior officer. It is presumed that you have left above the ghauts a sufficient force to carry out the instructions conveyed in my 1st and 2nd paragraphis. The major-general has received intimation, through private channels, of your having attacked and destroyed Sewapoor yesterday forenoon; and as heavy firing was heard, and extensive conflagration was perceived in the Sewapoor valley, he awaits the report of your movements with some anxiety. It was his wish to preserve the houses of Sewapoor, as affording shelter for the troops, stores, &c. You do not in your letter (No. 2), 13th inst., state whether Major George's post commands the Dund-kee-wat, or fort ridge, on which the Kurwatee ghaut is understood to lead. Should such be the case, your descent on that ridge will be greatly faci litated. Copy of this letter will be sent to Lieut. col. Carruthers, with instructions to carry out the major general's views in the manner best calculated to secure the immediate objects in view. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) W. SCOTT ADAMS, Captain, D. A. qu. mr. gen. S. D. A. (True copy). (Signed) W. SCOTT ADAMS, Captain, A. A.. mr. gen. S. D. A. To Lieut. col. J. Wallace, comg. 1st brig. No. 7. To the Assistant Quarter-Master General, Southern Division of the Army. Camp: Hunmunt Ghaut. Sir, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter (No. 6) of the 18th inst. In reply, I beg to state that the best position that could be taken up for commanding the Kurwattee Ghaut was taken up. as far as the means and nature of the country would permit, some days previously. Major George, in conformity to his orders, made a forward movement on the 19th (the very morning after the receipt of your letter under acknowledgment), for the purpose of obtaining and retaining possession of the edge of the ghaut. His report I have already had the honour to transmit in my letter (No. 8) dated 21st inst., and I have no hesitation in concurring fully in the opinion expressed by Major George, that the pass in question could not have been forced from this side by any number of troops (as duly reported by me before), without a vast sacrifice of life; and since the evacuation of that pass by the enemy (which was done, as I fully anticipated it would be, so soon as that pass had been turned by the capture of Gotia), it has been examined by officers, and it is most fortunate indeed that the attempt to force it had not been made, for destruction to our troops must have been the inevitable result. All this was avoided by turning the numerous and terrific stockades the enemy had prepared from the summit of that pass down its entire declivity, as stated in my letter (No. 8) dated 21st inst. Had the clearing of the Kurwuttee ghaut been practicable, I feel certain there is no officer in my brigade that would more readily have accomplished it than Major George, c.в., of H.M. 22nd regt., to whom that duty was assigned. Lieut. Col. Carruthers did not arrive at Sewapoor till very late on the night of the 20th instant; the moment his arrival was known, Major Clemons waited upon him, at my request, for his orders, as I was unable to do so myself from a severe injury I had received the previous day. I had previously ordered Major Clemons (on the arrival of Lieut. Col. Brough's brigade at Sewapoor, which was on the afternoon or the evening of the 20th) to return with all the European troops and flank companies of the 20th regt., and form a junction with Major George; thus reinforcing the latter officer for the purpose of enabling him to carry on offensive operations against the enemy, in conformity with the major-general's instructions; this arrange ment was countermanded, thus leaving me with only about 500 infantry to hold the several important posts above the ghauts to prevent the escape of the enemy, and of course without the means of affording aid to Major George, without which aid he was unable to make the forward movement on the 21st instant. I beg to state, that Sewapoor was not destroyed, but retained; the houses not only affording comfortable shelter to the troops, but protection against the fire of the enemy. I much regret that the major-general should have received, through private channe's, information so opposed to facts: so far from my destroying Sewapoor, I gave most positive orders that it should be preserved, my reasons being precisely those given by the major-general in the para. of your letter under reply. The extensive conflagration alluded to was partly occasioned by the burning of two other villages that afforded ready shelter to the enemy, and from which, had they not been driven, they would have annoyed my troops, and interrupted my line of communication with Sewapoor, and partly by the burning of the jungles and high grass close to Sewapoor by our sappers and pioneer coolies, to prevent the enemy coming unobserved and firing upon our sentries. It is painful to me to be condemned, as I have been two or three times lately, upon information privately obtained, and perhaps from individuals at enmity with me; had the major-general waited till the receipt of my official report→ which was transmitted as soon as the requisite reports had been received by me- he would have found that Sewapoor was not burnt, for if it had been, it would have been reported; in my report of the attack and capture of Sewapore, I distinctly mentioned that it had been retained. Major George's post, as long before reported, commands the entrance of the Kurwuttee and Gooroo passes leading down from this side of Sasseedroog-the former into the valley of Gotia and Sursinghee, and the latter into that of Sewapoor-it does not command the fort-ridge alluded to, and no post that could be taken on this side could command that ridge, the distance being far too great for that purpose-I did not consider any specific reply to your letter of the 18th instant, No. 6, necessary, as I had given all the information to the major-general relative to all the posts in occupation by the 1st brigade in my power to bestow, in former letters; but as it has been called for in your letter of the 23rd instant, No. 15, I now do so. In the second para. of your letter under reply, I am informed of the major-general's intention to form a junction with Colonel Outram's force across the fort-ridge-the period is not specified -and hence my anxiety to reinforce Major George with the troops under Major Clemons as soon as possible, which I di rected to be withdrawn immediately on the arrival of the 2nd brigade at Sewapoor, with the view of carrying out as far as pos sible the major general's wishes; but my intentions were frus trated by the detention, by order of Col.. Carruthers, of the only disposable troops for offensive purposes at Sewapoor, where there were already assembled the two brigades under Colonels Carruthers and Brough. In conclusion, I beg respectfully to state that the instructions I have received since my arrival here, have been qualified by some expressions that would have condemned me, had failure been the result of my operations ;-responsibility of any act originating with and ordered by me, I shall ever be found ready to incur and justify, but instructions bearing doubtful interpre tation, or resting upon contingencies, cannot be carried out with any degree of certainty; had my orders been of a decided and positive nature, there is no one that would have carried them out more to their very spirit and letter than myself; not one of these has been of such a nature; even the other one under reply, my orders are, "to take up the best position;" this was done; "and you will see the importance of clearing the Kurwattee ghaut," I have seen its importance, but this is not ordering me to do it, and had I attempted it and failed-particularly after Major George's report-the entire responsibility of that failure would have rested with me, for what could I produce as an order from the major-general that would bear me out scatheless from that responsibility? positively nothing; and hence my condemnation must have followed. If, therefore, the majorgeneral will be pleased to favour me with specific, detailed, and positive orders, I shall carry them out to their utmost extent. Should the major-general, however, from the want of local information, be unable to give such orders from a distance, but leave it to my discretion, I shall not be found wanting in any zeal to further the public service. I request that this letter may be submitted to the major-general as soon as possible. I have, &c. (Signed) J. WALLACE, Lieut. Col., Camp near Sassedroog, 24th Jan. 1845. COURT MARTIAL. CAPT, WILLIAM MACAN, 6TH BOMBAY N.I. Head-Quarters, Poonah, 19th June, 1815.-At a General Court Martial assembled at Poonah, on Tuesday, the 10th day of June, 1845, and of which Lieut.-col. J. L. Pennefather, H. M.'s 22nd regt. is president, Capt. W. Macan, of the 6th regt. N.I., was tried on the following charge, viz. :— Capt. W. Macan, 6th regt. Ñ.I. placed in arrest by my order on the following charge, viz. :— For highly unofficerlike, irregular, aud insubordinate conduct, to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, and contempt of authority, in the following instances, viz. :— 1st. In having, in a letter dated Sattara, 2nd May, 1845, addressed to the Adjutant of the 6th regt. N.I. most unwarranta bly animadverted on a regimental order of the same date, issued by me, directing the removal of one subaltern officer from the Grenadier company, and the transfer of another thereto, by unjustifiably characterizing that official act of his commanding officer as uncourteous, towards him, and an infringement of his command. 2nd. In having in a letter dated Sattara, 3rd May, 1815, in reply to one of the same, date addressed. to him by the Acting, Adjutant of the 6th regt. N.I., by my orders, made use of the following highly unjustifiable expressions:-" With much pain I express disappointment and regret for having so earnestly made the concession which I did the other day; I had hoped that it would have at once caused a cessation of the angry feelings between Major Woodhouse and myself"-thereby virtually withdrawing and retracting the expression of regret contained in his letter to the Line Adjutant at Sattara, dated the 29th April, 1845, for former insubordination on his part towards me, for which an opportunity had been afforded him by his Excellency the Commander-in-chief as the only means of escaping trial by a courtmartial, and further unwarrantably attributing improper feelings to me. 3rd. In having, in a letter dated Sattara, 10th May, 1843, addressed to the Adjutant of the 6th regt. N.I. most unwarrantably questioned and commented on my official act in transferring a private of the Grenadier company to another. (Signed) J. R. Woodhouse, Major, commanding 6th regt. N.I.

Colonel, Adjutant-General of the Army. Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision: Finding. The Court, on the evidence before it, is of opinion that the prisoner, Capt. W. Macan, of the 6th regt. N.I. is Guilty of the charge preferred against him in the first instance. Guilty in the second instance. Guilty in the third instance. Sentence. The Court having found the prisoner guilty as above specified, in breach of the Articles of War in such cases made and provided, does adjudge him to be suspended from rank, pay, and allowances, for three (3) calendar months. (Signed) J. L. PENNEFATHER, Lieut. Col. (Signed) WILLIAM OGILVIE, Lieut. Col. Judge-Advocate General of the Army. and President. (Signed) THOMAS MCMAHON, Lieut. Gen. REMARKS BY THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. The preceding charge fully sets forth the offences of which Capt. Macan, of the 6th regt. N.I. has been unqualifiedly found guilty in all the three instances; and in giving effect to the sentence I feel called on to express my deep regret that an officer of his standing in the service and in his regiment (having been twentyfive years in the former, and being senior captain in the latter), should, by such a line of insubordinate conduct, have placed himself in so painful a position as the present. Nothing now remains for me but to record my earnest hope that the award of the Court (most lenient as it is) will produce beneficial effects on Capt. Macan's future professional conduct. (Signed) THOMAS MACMAHON, Lieut. gen. and Commander-in-Chief. The suspension awarded to Capt. William Macan is to take effect from this date. The European general court-martial assembled at Poonah, and of which Lieut. col. Pennefather, her Majesty's 22nd regt. is president, is dissolved. C. HAGART, Lieut. col. adjt.-gen of the Army. CIVIL.
