We are in no danger here, because people do not understand such things; and because England is in a prouder position than ever, and will, I trust, retain it.
Lord Grey seems an able man at home, but he is, I believe, hot- headed, and Lord Stanley is ten times worse; he would soon have up the barricades in London.

Lord Clarendon seems a safe guide, but _Peel_ is the man for the time, if he has the stamina.

Lord Palmerston has conducted the duties of his office with admirable tact of late; and much of the good feeling that prevails in Europe towards England at present seems to arise from it.

Amelie begs to be most kindly remembered; she is here with her little boy--two girls at Munsoorie, and two girls and a boy at home.
Yours very sincerely, (Signed) W.H.SLEEMAN.
To the Hon.

Sir T.H.Maddock, &c.
