CIRCULAR MEMORANDUM.

Horse Guards, S.W.,
12th September, 1857.

Doubts having sometimes arisen between the
Governor of a Colony holding the Commission
of Governor and Commander-in-Chief, and
the Officer Commanding the Troops, as to their
relative authority and powers, it is to be
distinctly understood, that the title of Com-
mander-in-Chief with which a Civil Governor
of a Colony is invested, gives him no power or
anthority over the Queen's Troops or the
Military Chest; but that it undoubtedly
belongs to the Governor of a Colony to call
out, or organize, any body or bodies of men,
whom, in the exercise of any general or special
authority lawfully vested in him, he may judge
it necessary or right to summon for the defence
of the Colony against aggression, or for the
preservation of public tranquillity.

The Officers who may be selected to com-
mand these bodies can only be commissioned
by the Governor and Commander-in-Chief, in
the name and on behalf of the Queen.

The Clothing, Arms, Rations, and Pay, of
the Officers and Men must be subject to such
provision as may be made by the Colony, in
pursuance of any legislative enactment passed,
or to be passed, for this purpose. If the
Colonial Treasury should be unable to meet
such expenditure, recourse must be had to the
Military Chest; and it is the duty of the
Officer Commanding Her Majesty's Forces to
authorize by his warrant, upon the requisition
of the Governor, the issue of such advances as
may be considered necessary for the purposes
in question.

If such local Force, or any portion of it, be-
comes embodied with the Queen's Troops,
either in Division, Brigades, or Detachments,
the selection of Officers for the command of
such a mixed force rests with the Officer com-
manding the Queen's Troops.

As it is indispensably necessary that the Go-
vernor of a Colony should upon all occasions
receive the earliest intelligence of the move-
ments of the Troops, and of every occurrence
which falls within their observation, it is the
duty of the Officer commanding any detached
Force or Post to send to the Governor of the
Colony direct, copies of all reports which he
may from time to time receive.

In the event of active Military operations
