It only an act of justice to Major General Aguilar to state, what is well known to many that with an earnest desire to mild better barracks for the accommodation of the Sepoy troops, he has been unable to do so, from the circumstance that. Sir Henry Potunger, would not allow a mutable place of ground to be provided for the purpose, The result f

In this, as in many other of Sir Heary Pottinger's actions, we have melancholy evidence of the results of his intolerant treat- ment of this colony, but we cannot diving the causes.
