- Title:
- No. 57: Letter from Ross D. Mangles
- Scope & Content:
-
Recapitulates the good news from India. He sees the fellows in Calcutta are still determined to forward their petition to the Queen yet again. It will arouse only disgust and contempt in England now. The tide has turned in favour of Lord Canning's views. No story of mutilation has yet been substantiated. Recommendations for honours for Surgeons Campbell and Brydon have been refused, because their rank was not equivalent to that of Major. The Loan has opened. Sends a copy of the India Bill of the new Government (not enclosed). Mangles has been nominated as one of the 4 Indian Members of the Council, with Shepherd, Hogg and Prinsep, and a constituency has been provided. Roebuck and Bright have condemned the scheme. The Bill will not become law in anything like its present shape. Strong endeavours are being made to bring Palmerston and Lord John Russell together again. A baronetcy has been conferred on the elder son of the late Sir Henry Lawrence and a pension. Congratulates the Governor General on the success of the experiment with Jung Bahadoor, which he viewed with serious misgivings. The Gurkhas aid has produced nothing but good. Asks for a list of the natives who have assisted the Government. Lord Ellenborough is too impatient to await the report of the Commission on the reorganisation of the Bengal Army, and has written to the Court stating his own views. Comments on reinforcements.
