No. 32: Letter from Mr Sidney Herbert
- Scope & Content:
-
Reports the disturbing effect of Canning's letter. The French force is to include 5 batteries of artillery, not to exceed 8000 men. The French believe it may be difficult to keep the peace between the French and British armies. Between the two commanders, takes [James Hope] Grant to be the best soldier but [William] Mansfield to be a much abler and more powerful man. Mansfield's contempt for the opinion of others is presumably what has made him so many enemies. If he did not quarrel with the French he would probably rule them. Bruce is probably suitable. Grant will be given the chief command, and Mansfield the 2nd in command with the Infantry Division. Mansfield can afterwards revert to Bombay or Madras.
