- Title:
- No. 17: Letter from the Duke of Argyll
- Scope & Content:
-
Congratulates Canning on his successes both in India and in England. Discusses the Clemency Proclamation. Argyll was able to contradict every allegation made against Canning in the House of Lords. Although nine tenths of the charges against the East India Company are unjust and absurd, the form of Government in India has ceased to be intelligible or defensible. Comments on the political manoeuvres over the end of the Company. Praises Sir Colin Campbell. European affairs do not look well, and troops are needed back in England as soon as they can be spared from India. Louis Napoleon is the danger in Europe.
Private.
