Seetapoor was also occupied by one of our regular regiments of infantry and some guns till 1837, when they were withdrawn, and their place supplied by the second regiment of Oude Local Infantry.

Our Government now pays the two regiments of Oude Local Infantry stationed at Sultanpoor and Seetapoor; but the places of those stationed at Secrora and Pertabghur have never been supplied.

One additional regiment of infantry is kept at Lucknow, so that our force in Oude has only been diminished by one regiment of infantry, one of cavalry, and eight guns, with a company and half of artillery.

To do our duty _honestly_ by Oude, we ought to restore the regiment of infantry; and in the place of the corps of light, send one of irregular cavalry.

We ought also to restore the company and half of artillery and eight guns which have been withdrawn.
