With respect to the _Second Charge_ it appeared to His Royal Highness to be a matter of surprise that the Court should find the prisoner _Guilty_ of the offence alleged against him, while they at the same time _Acquit_ him of all the facts upon which that Charge is founded;--and yet, that in the summing up of their Finding upon the whole of the Charges, they should ascribe the offences of which the prisoner has been found Guilty, to Error in Judgment, and pass a Sentence totally inapplicable to their own finding of Guilt, which can alone be ascribed to the Court having been induced, by a reference to the general good character and conduct of _Major-General Procter_, to forget, through a humane, but mistaken lenity, what was due from them to the Service. Under all the circumstances of the case, however, and particularly those which render it impossible to have recourse to the otherwise expedient measure of re-assembling the Court, for the revival of their proceedings, the Prince Regent has been pleased to acquiesce in, and confirm so much of the Sentence as adjudges the prisoner to be _publicly reprimanded_, and in carrying the same into execution, His Royal Highness has directed the General Officer commanding in Canada, to convey to _Major-General Procter_, His Royal Highness's high disapprobation of his conduct, together with the expression of His Royal Highness's regret, that any officer of the length of service, and of the exalted rank which he has attained, should be so extremely wanting in professional knowledge, and so deficient in those active and energetic qualities, which must be required of every officer, but especially of one in the responsible situation in which the _Major-General_ was placed. His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief directs that the foregoing Charges preferred against _Major-General Procter_, together with the Finding and Sentence of the Court, and the Prince Regent's pleasure thereon, shall be entered in the General Order Book, and read at the Head of every Regiment in His Majesty's Service. By Command of His Royal Highness, The Commander-in-chief, HARRY CALVERT, Adjutant-General.
