The Durbar took away the two regiments; but, as soon as they heard that Lieutenant Orr was to command the third, they appointed Fidda Hoseyn, brother of the ruffian Mahommed Hoseyn, who had held the district of Mahomdee, and done so much mischief to it.
Fidda Hoseyn, of course, paid a high sum for the command to be exacted from his subordinates, or the people of the district in which it might be employed; and the regiment has remained worse than useless.

Of the eleven guns, five are useless on the ground, and without bullocks.

The bullocks for the other six are present, but too weak to draw anything.

They had had no grain for many years; but within the last month they have had one-half seer each per day out of the one seer and half paid for by Government.

There is no ammunition, stores, or anything else for the guns, and the best of the carriages are liable to fall to pieces with the first discharge.
