“In taking leave of Lieut.-Colonel Burne, the officers, and men of His Majesty’s THIRTY-SIXTH regiment, the Commander-in-Chief cannot refrain from expressing his sincere regret at losing from under his command a corps so eminently distinguished for important services in the field, and for discipline, order, and regularity, in every situation. Of a regiment whose merits are so well known, it is unnecessary to say much: their gallant exertions will receive their best reward in the applause and gratitude of their country. “The Commander-in-Chief cannot more strongly evince his high opinion of this corps than by exhorting the men, wherever their King and Country may hereafter require their services, to make it their first care to preserve unblemished the name and reputation they have acquired in the THIRTY-SIXTH regiment. (Signed) “KEITH YOUNG, “_Acting Deputy Adjutant General_.” _Copy of an Order issued by the Governor in Council upon the_ THIRTY-SIXTH _regiment quitting Madras for Great Britain_. “_Madras, 14th October 1798._ “The remainder of His Majesty’s THIRTY-SIXTH regiment is to embark from the North Glacis at six o’clock to-morrow morning for Europe, in the ships under despatch, according to the distribution they have received from the Deputy Adjutant General. “The occasion cannot fail to recall the memory of those glorious and important services which have been rendered by this gallant corps to the British Empire in India; services for which the Right Honorable the President in Council offers the warmest thanks of this Government to Lieut.-Colonel Burne, the officers, and men of the regiment. “The Governor in Council, impressed with a just sense of the discipline and hardiness of the men, of the experience and gallantry of the officers, cannot but feel sincere regret at the loss which the army under this Government is about to sustain in the departure of this efficient corps.” _Copy of a Letter from Lieut.-General the Honorable Sir Arthur Wellesley, K.B. to Viscount Castlereagh, Secretary of State._ Contained in Vol. iv., page 100, “of the Despatches of Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington.” Compiled by Colonel Gurwood. “_Vimiera, 22d August 1808._ “MY DEAR LORD, “After I wrote to you yesterday morning we were attacked by the whole of the French army, Sir Harry Burrard being still on board ship, and I gained a complete victory.
