- Title:
- Letter from Canning to Stanley
- Scope & Content:
- Acknowledges Stanley's letter of 9 [sc. 8] September; impracticability of inviting all Chiefs to do homage on transfer of government to Crown; among the reasons are the facts that Canning does not have enough troops with him to make an impressive show in upper provinces, and chiefs 'hate the name of Calcutta and Bengalees, and the supposed supremacy of that Capital over older seats of Government'; such an assembly of chiefs should be held next cold weather – Canning outlines ideas for it, including introduction of more liberal rules regarding princely successions and adoptions, and award of English or new Indian honours; Canning has prevented ceremony for reading Proclamation at Calcutta being given too English a character; Montgomery (Chief Commissioner of Oudh) reports columns to mop up mutineers have begun to move.
