- Scope & Content:
-
There is little to report, although some of the Madras Regiments are very shaky, and the delay in reinforcements is a strain on them. Wild rumours are rife. The Rifle Battalion has been filled up with great readiness and some of them will start in a day or two. The 'Simoon' has gone to the Straits. The Punjab leaves with treasure and arms for Bombay. The 'Coromandel' must go into dock, and the 'Manilla' has broken down, so the Government is again without means of communication along the coast. Hopes the two steamers promised from England will arrive soon. Recommends an article in the London 'Athenaeum' of 25 Jul on a Yankee's travels. If there is no outbreak in Madras Harris proposes to send the 1st European Regiment he receives to Nagpore. Matters are not very satisfactory in North Canara, there are everywhere little rulers who are ready to rise if they see a chance.
