§ GENERAL WINDHAMsaid, he wished to inquire whether the Government were in receipt of a Report from General Sir Charles Napier respecting the organization of the Bengal Army, as, if so, it would be desirable that that Report should be laid before the House.
§ SIR JOHN RAMSDENreplied, that it was true that there was a Report on the subject drawn up by Sir Charles Napier, and sent home privately, he believed, to the late Duke of Wellington. He was informed that it did not enter into details as to the organization of the Bengal Army, but related merely to the military occupation of the country, and embraced details important to the administration of the Military Governments there. It was not, however, a despatch that could be laid on the table of the House.
