In that part of Colombo known as the Fort, and situated south of the Pettah, the English have spacious and well-arranged barracks, of sufficient size to ac- commodate five tho
...usand men of all arms. Of course, no such force is required in Ceylon, and there are not such a number of troops here at the present writing.

The judiciousness of this precaution was well illustrated in 1857, when this station, from its small military force, aiforded such material aid at the outbreak of what the English call the Indian mutiny, before alluded to.
