§ SIR DE LACY EVANSsaid, he rose to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, or the Secretary of State for War, whether orders have been sent, or are in- 1152 tended to be sent, for withdrawing the survivors of the detachment of Troops at Trinidad from that Post.
GENERAL PEELsaid, that the Official Report on the subject had not yet arrived; but, having heard a few days ago that yellow fever still raged very seriously at Trinidad, he had applied to the Secretary of State for the Colonies for his sanction to the withdrawal of the Troops from that station. Orders would go out by the next Mail, directing the commanding Officer at Barbadoes to consult with the Governor of Trinidad, with a view to the withdrawal, if possible, of the Troops from the latter Colony.
§ SIR DE LACY EVANSsaid, he wished to know whether arrangements will be made in future to prevent Troops being sent to such unhealthy quarters?
