Ceylon regiment , and when in it may their conviviality glide smoothly , and undisturbed—and may the British army long continue the bulwark of the nation and ornament of society . Sir John and Brethren , I cannot conclude without saying , and ivith the greatest sincerity , that I wish prosperity to the Right Honourable the Governor , Sir R . AV .
