ANNUAL RELIEF S.
My dear Lord,
No. 1.
Lord Hill to Lord Glenelg,
Horse Guards, November 17, 1838. THIS being the period of the year in which the establishment of the army comes under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government, it has occurred to me that it might be useful to your Lordship to have before you an accurate memorandum of its state, I have accordingly prepared the accompanying paper, which will afford your Lordship full information as to its numbers and the mode in which it is employed.
Lord Glenelg.
I have, &c.
(Signed)
HILL.
Inclosure in No. 1.
(MEMORANDUM.)
Horse Guards, November 17, 1838.
TO show the state of the army in the manner the least liable to misapprehension, it will be advisable to confine the statement exclusively to the establishment of rank and file, because at the present period the effectives may be considered as not differing from it to any material extent.
All the regiments in India and Canada being completed to the numbers of the Esta- blishment voted in the army estimates, viz: 739, but all other regiments of infantry of the line being recruited only to 659, thus leaving a difference of eighty men per regiment.
The Force Abroad consists as follows
East Indies
Canada
