HeadQuarters, Cump Povna, Dec. 27, 1833. It is with feelings of sincere regret, that the Commander-in-chief takes leave of Lieut. Col. Hardy, quarter-master general of the Bombay army, who has tendered his resignation with a view of retiring from the service. In justice to this zealous and able officer, his Excellency thus publicly acknowledges the assistance which he has always received from the Lieut. Colonel's intimate knowledge of all the branches of his department.

The Commander-in-chief, in offering his warm thanks to Lieut. Col. Hardy, desires to record his opinion of the loss that the army will sustain in an officer of the Lieut. Colonel's professional acquirements and sound judgment, both in the department over which he has for many years presided, and in the corps of artil lery, which his experience of the horse and foot service would have so well qualified him to command.
