July, when the number for the different corps to remain in India,were 24 serjeants, 21 corporals, 18 drummers, and 483 privates. Arrangements being in progress for the embarkation of the Regiment for Europe, the Hon. the Governor in Council, and his Excellency Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir Charles Colville, Commander-inChief were pleased to issue the following General Orders on the occasion, viz. : GENERAL ORDERS BY THE HON. THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL. "Bombay Castle, 5th Aug. 1822. "The remaining officers and men of His Majesty's 65th Regiment, being now about to embark for Europe, the Hon. the Governor in Council performs a most pleasing part of his duty, in recording the sense he entertains of the eminent services performed by that Regiment in India. "The whole period since the arrival of the 65th Regiment, has been an almost uninterrupted course of active employment. Independent of its services in the territories connected with this Presidency, which alone would entitle it to the cordial approbation of Government, it has proceeded on various distant expeditions by land and sea, and has shared in some of the most arduous marches, and of the severest conflicts recorded in the military history of the East. "During every part of its long and extended course of service, the strict discipline of the 65th Regiment, its cheerful endurance of fatigue, no less than its conspicuous spirit and gallantry in the field, entitle it to the highest testimonies of respect and applause. "The Governor in Council will always retain a sincere esteem for this distinguished Regiment, and will ever take the warmest interest in its future fame and prosperity. "By Order of the Hon, the Governor in Council, "J. FARISH, Sec. to the Gov." "BY THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. "No. 1.- In publishing to this army the sentiments (as expressed above) of the Government of which he has the honour to be a member, Lieut.-Gen. Sir Charles Colville cannot deny himself the satisfaction of adding his individual opinion of the correct system and conduct of His Majesty's 65th Regiment in those relations which have naturally connected him more immediately with them. "No. 2.-He will consider it an highly gratifying duty to request the Most Noble the Commanderin-Chief in India, that these joint testimonials may be brought to the knowledge of His Royal Highness the Duke of York, and who (His Excellency feels every respectful assurance) will have equal satisfaction in laying them before the King in such manner as may obtain the most gracious consideration of His Majesty. (Signed) "D. LEIGHTON, "Adjt.-General of the Army." The head quarters of the regiment embarked on board the ship Charles Forbes, which sailed the 19th Aug. 1822. The numbers embarked on board the said ship were 5 officers, 13 serjeants, 5 drummers, and 57 rank and file, of which number, 6 rank and file and 1 drummer died on the voyage; the remainder landed at Gravesend the 22nd Jan. 1823. In commemoration of its services in India and Arabia, His Majesty was graciously pleased to approve of the regiment bearing on its colours and appointments the figure of the royal "Tiger," with the word "India" superscribed, and also the word "Arabia" underneath the figure, and the number of the regiment. Lieut.-Colonel, now Major-Gen. Sir Lionel Smith, was made a Companion of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath in 1816, and a Knight Commander of the same order in 1822, for services in India and Arabia. Lieut.-Colonel Colin J. Milnes, was nominated a Companion of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath in 1818, also for services in India. Major and Lieut.-Colonel N.

Richard Power, 62nd Regiment. April 4th. At Bellary, in his 49th year, Colonel Edward Winterton Snow, C.B. commanding that station. Of the services of this officer, we extract the following from the Madras Govern. ment Gazette." The name of this most distinguished officer may be worthily inscribed on the roll of brave spirits which have been uninterruptedly attached to the annals of the coast army, since the days of its earliest emergencies in the time of Coote and Clive. To few was he inferior, so far as the opportunity was afforded him. He distinguished himself at Assaye and Argaum, and at Mabidpore, where he led in a manner never to be forgotten the memorable charge of the rifle corps, contributing its full success to the fortune of the day, almost to the cost of its own extermination. He was subsequently in high Staff employ to the eastward, and was expecting removal from Bellary to still higher command, when death arrested his career, and left his surviving friends to regret as loyal and firm a spirit, and as true and affectionate a heart as ever dwelt in the breast of man."
