This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  tliis  resource,  we  liave  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attributionTht  GoogXt  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  in  forming  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe. 

About  Google  Book  Search 

Google's  mission  is  to  organize  the  world's  information  and  to  make  it  universally  accessible  and  useful.   Google  Book  Search  helps  readers 
discover  the  world's  books  while  helping  authors  and  publishers  reach  new  audiences.  You  can  search  through  the  full  text  of  this  book  on  the  web

The  commaoding  attitude  in 
which  the  British  power  in

it  the  work  of  its  present  en- 
lightened ruler :  it  was  reserv- 
ed for  the  Marqueu  of  Hatt- 
iti^t  to  g;ain  a  victory  over 
enemies  more  difficult  to  be 
defeated  than  the  armed  hosts 
which  be  scattered  in  tb«  field; 
to  triumph  over  timid  policy, 
and  popular  prejudice,  and  to 
establish  beyond  the  riak  of 
question  the  important  truth 
that  "  Bcticmea  of  conquest, 
"  and  exteusion  of  dominion, 
"  in  India,  may  be  measures 
"  conformable  to  the  wish,  tbe 
"  honour,  and  the  policy  of 
■'  the  British  nation."  We 
ahaH  now,  it  is  to  be  preeum- 
•d,  bear  no  more  of  the  affect- 
ad  moderation,  which  aban- 
dnits  humble  allies  in.  the  hour 
of  peril ;  which  aubmits  to  in-

a  murmur,  and  which  loses

observed,  uf  the  directions  in 
vrhich  more  recent  event*  hava 
led  to  a  removal  of  the  then  ex-

ef  Nepali-extending  through 
the  whole  tract  of  ttie  Hima-

Of  the  princea  estahlitlied

or  at  least  within  those  limits, 
to  which  the  British  authority 
extended,  some  bad  been  ta- 
)ien  within  the  pale  of  its  pro- 
tpclion,  to  save  them  from  the 
encroac-hiiieiiis  ol  ambitious 
ami  tVirroidnble  neif(hbours  : 
the  prot'Ction  panted  iit  these 
cases,  was  of  a  feudal  cha- 
racier,  esacUus  no  return  but 
occaaional  militury  service,  in 
■easous  of  «meri;ency,  and  in 
ordinary  au'l  tranquil  times,

but  the  quiet  adrainistration 
of  civil  affairs,  and  the  unre- 
served refereuce  of  all  dts^ 
putes  with  their  aeiichbours  to 
the  decision  of  the  British  Go- 
TernmenL  The  priucipal  mem- 
bers of  this  class  of  princea, 
were  the  Rtgiuot  Bhurtport, 
mA  lUaekeri,iiii3iaidalacbiefs 
whose  possrssious  skirted  the 
froatierfl  of  BumtUeeund,  and 
the  Sik'h  chiefs  on  lh«  left 
bank  of  tl)e  Setl^. 

A  more  integral  part  of  the 
Dritisfa  empire  was  composed 
of  those  princes,  who  had  re- 
Bif  ned  into  its  hands,  the  tnili- 
litary  power  of  their  states, 
and  foregoing  the  pririlege  of 
peace  and  war  on  their  own

the  forctta  requisite  for  thmr 
defence;— the  foreea  thus 
maintaiaed  being  disposable  by 
the  British  G avemm en t alone, 
were  consequently  anactiial 
part  of  its  military  lUength.  Of 
these,  the  relations  contract- 
«•!  with  the  prinoeaofOtMfe  and 
Sifderabad,  were  anost  valua-' 
hle.aad  most  to  be  relied  upon^ 
from  the  extant  of  their  aub- 
aidiary  arrangementa,  and 
their  long  and  cheerful  ao- 
quiescenca  in  the  systeai. 

A  compact  no  leaa  secnr* 
connected  the  Britiih  Go- 
vernment, with  ibe  ruler  of 
Gnxerat;  it  was  indeed  of  k 
more  iatimate  nature,  dian 
those  described,  and  tha 
managemeni  of  the  whole  re- 
venues of  tho  country  was 
delegated  to  the  superior  state, 
npon  its  liecoMing  security  for 
the  payment  of  the  burtheni 
aome  load  of  debts,  due  by 
the  Guickwar  Government. 
This  arrangement  was  in  fuK 
operation  at  the  time  when- 
our  surrey  commences,  and  in 
1810,  under  the  new  manage- 
ment, the  rerenaes  of  tlia

obserre  Anally  of  this  amngo-

answered  the  expectations  for-

parties ;  and  that  the  old  debt

cieTciseof  internal  adminis- 
InboD,  undertakes  their  pro- 
tKtian  against  foreign  aggies- 
lioD,  and  expects  the  ai'l  of 
their  resources  in  times  of  need. 
In  one  capacity  or  other,  the 
British  authority  was  esta- 
hlisbed  througliout  the  wliole 
of  the  plains  below  tli«  Hills, 
and  through  the  fiimSlatfa  from 
llbetto  the  SetleJ— with  the 
Mceptron  of  Nepal,  now  eon- 
fiaed  to  itsorigiaal  limits,  and 
compelled  to  admit  an  inter- 
national intercourse,  and  the 
preience  of  a  British  agent  at 
lU  CourL 

The  advantages  thus  attain- 
ed were  of  a  very  important 
descriptioD :  the  successful 
closeof  the  brief  but  arduous 
conflict  wa»  of  itself  of  no 
mean  value,  as  it  established 
the  inefficacy  of  great  .natural 
ilreit[:th,in  a  country  courage- 
ously and  deiterously  defend- 
ed.tohaffle  orresist  the  Brit. 
iih  arms:  the  condition  of  the 
reiiona  appropriated,  exhaus- 
ted hy  opptessive  rule,  has 
hitherto  rendered  them  o(  lit. 
tie  value,  as  a  source  of  reve- 
nue, and  the  limited  means  and 
iopoverivhed  resources  of  the 
dependant  chiefs,  have  equally 
opposed  the  prospect  of  their 
contrihuting  to  ibe  financial 
hurthensol  tile  state;  bat  there 
CH  be  BO  doubt  that  uadaioa 


iraprored  administration,  tha 
territories  acquired  will  ad- 
vance in  population  and  pro- 
ductiveness, and  in  the  mean 
time  it  may  be  considered, 
that  an  actual  benefit  i»  deri- 
ved, even  in  a  financial  point 
of  view,  as  there  is  no  loniter 
a  necessity  to  maintain  an  ex- 
pensive defence,  against  an 
encroaching  and  warlike  nei'h- 
bour.  Other  advantages  ara 
like^  to  occur  from  the  esta-  ' 
bhsliment  of  commercial  rela- 
tions with  the  vasLcountries  be- 
yond the  Himalaya,  to  which 
we  have  now  for  the  first  time  » 
ready  and  secure  access;  whilst 
above  alt  other  considerations. 
Bust  be  ranked  the  acquisi- 
tion of  a  barrier,  wbich  in  tha 
hands  that  now  hoJ<l  it,  may 
be  fairly  regarded  as  impreg- 
nable :  the  peace  with  Nepal, 
tiierefore,  although  its  impor- 
tance has  been  eclipsed  for  n 
time,  by  the  lustre  of  suhse- 
quent  transacUons,  forms  an 
era  of  no  mean  interest  in  ths 
history  of   Biitiiih  liidia. 

The  treaty  with  Mulkar 
Row  Bolkar,  on  the  eth  of 
January,  1818,  secured  to  the 
B.itiah  Government  the  terri- 
tories to  the  south  of  tha 
Satpura  range  of  faille,  tha 
possessions  of  the  Holkar 
State  in  Khandeth,  and  such 
district*  in  the  Dekhan, 
as  Awber,  -Ellore,  and 
others  which  were  intermix- 
ed with  the  territories  of  th«t 
PeshwB,  and  Nizam :  it  also 
abolished  the  claim  of  Indoro

burtiien,  sot  a  benefit,  to  Eb{^

triynphant  reply :  universal  '

Gevertment,  and  the  natural 
boundaries  of  Hindustan  pre- 
amtnopower  from  whom  future 
hostitity  is  to  be  apprehended. 
It  may  be  searcely  be  safe  to 
hope  witii  Mr.  PriDs«p,*  that 
the  late  war  is  ihe  last  which 
the  English  may  hare  to  waf;« 
in.  India;  but  the  occnrrenoe 
of  aueh  a  nrcessity  is  reduced 
to  a  bare  and  remote  possibi- 
lity :  at  any  rate  the  chance 
must  for  a  conaidcrable  period 
be  restricted  to  foreign  states, 
aad-both  by  the  political  aitua- 
tian«Cthe  nei glibou ring  kin K' 
dflas,  and  tbe  military  strength 
of 'the  ■  British  frontinrs,  the 
danger  bf  Sggressi^  from  with<

pulse  proportionably  increased, 
'^Ve  have  already  said  enough 


to  proTA  the  benefit  of  tha 
system,  to  the  naliTe  ststetf 
now  subjealed  to  our  authori-

who  are  net  determined  to  ex- 
tract from  the  past  slate  of  In- 
dia,  argameats  or  doubt  and 
disbelief,  which  are  wholly 
inapplioable  to  its  present  con- 
dition. 

'  From  the  view  thus  taken 
of  the  territorial  and  political 
relations  of  the  British  power 
in  India,  we  are  now  to  direct

The  large  increase  ta  the

bas  occurred  since  180S-10,  it 
nay  be  observed,  has  not  been 
Biidrlen  or  fluctuating;  after 
a  due  period  of  permanence,  it 
advanced  with  the  extenaion 
of  the  Bridsfa  Empire,  and  has 
aince  naintained  the  character 
of  progreasive  and  regnlar  ad- 
vance, as  the  subjoined  table

'I'he  alterations  theretiir* 
which  this  trade  has  ontjer- 
gone,  appear  to  be  the  follow- 
ing, 'rhe  Conipaity's  exports 
and  imports  have  both  dirain- 
ished  by  236.0021.  Tiiose  of

This  extension  of  the  actu- 
al amount  of  the  Iradf^,  has 
been  necessarily  atteni'ed 
with  a  rednction  of  those 
profits,  which  the  limited  sop- 
ply  of  both  narkets,  tended 
naturally  to  enhance.  Wiiat 
may  havs  been  the  degree  of 
diminution  oo  the  private'

ascertain,  but  it  ^peari  that

ISM-Ij,  to  about  14^  per 
CAiit.  hetwceit  1814-19  &»d 
1810-20.  If  this  diminution 
of  profits  howevet  may  be 
taken  as  a  criterion  of  the  ^e- 
-  neral  reduction,  it  bears  no 
propOTtion  to  the  increase  of 
trade,  as  vbllst  the  one  is 
less  (ban  5,  the  oth>r  in  25 
per  cent. ;  and  it  need  scnrce- 
\y  be  obsfTTcfT  that  both  India 
and  England  mast  benefit  in- 
finitely more  by  an  extensire 
commerce,  which  yiehls  but 
a  moderate  advantatie,  than 
by  a  more  restricted  traffic, 
which  erouloys  and  enriches 
bnt  a  handful  of  indiriduals. 
Before  dismissing  the  snb- 
ject  of  the  trade  between  In- 
<Ka  and  Great  Britain,  we 
may  notice  one  or  two  of 
those  branches  which  have 
been  most  materially  affected 
by  the  late  chance  of  aysteni. 
jn  the  details  of  the  articles 
«f  which  the  trade  with  Great 
Britain  formerly  consistef), 
we  find  thnt  wines,  beer, 
and  spirits,  aiticles  of  Euro- 
pean aress,  metals,  ironmon- 
jcery,  and  glassware  formed 
about  half  the  exports,  whe- 
ther of  the  Company's  or  P'ri- 
vate  Trade.  Of  the  import 
trade,  piece  goods  formed 
the  bnitt  of  the  ConipaDy's, 
and  indii^  of  Ihn  Private 
Trade.  In  the  details  now 
published.wefind.  besides  the 
genera)  increase  on  the  arti- 
eles  of  the  former  trallic  in  ft 
frnvorable  Maton,  an  entirely 


new  item  of  the  first  raasnU

ced  into  the  eiporis  from 
Great  Britain,  amonntinii;  in 
the  reports  of  1820  to  3.'>4-780l, 
In  like  manner,  British  wool* 
lens,  which  were  formerly  al- 
most confined  to  China,  have 
been  exported  with  consider- 
able success  to'  the  liidiaQ  . 
continent,  amonntin^in  ItllO- 
20  to  the  Ta'ue  or274,733l. 
'llie  increase  of  these  and  other

altered  the  nature  of  the  iit,< 
(ercourse  with  Great  Britain*

has  become  a  matter  of^iffi-

in  India  for  the  payment  «f 
British  Importations :  the  Chi«f 
articles  of  Indian  export  haT« 
however  generally  impro*e<|, 
with  the  exception  of  thos* 
which  the  Cotton  mamirac-- 
tures  of  Great  Britain  bar* 
stfpplanted  on  their  ow^i 
ground — The  average  aonnal 
value  of  India  Piece  Goods, 
from  1804  to  1808,  sent  la 
Great  Brbain  was  £1.040.009. 
In  1820-21,  it  was  bat 
£309.215 — In  the  fire  years 
between  1810-11  &  18l'4-15.

Of  the  disposition  of  these 
Tast  n ambers  towards  their

the  power  uf  ttie  latter  is  to 
be  ealimsted,  it  is  not  now

thflir  soTerei^na  may  not  be

in  the  mana^ettent  of  the

od, it  is  true,  must  elapae,  as 
■bclety  in  India  ia  at  Kresent 
sonstitutcd,  before  any  class 
of  individuals  shall  arise,  able 
to  wield,  the  mighty  but  cum. 
brouM  engine  of  popular  dis- 
aatisfaction,  with  energy  and 
■uccesS ;  but  it  is  far  from  dif- 
.  fi'cult,  to  excite  suspicion,  in- 
fiama  discontent,  and  ^ive 
birth  to  convulsions  which 
iflust  impair,  although  they 
may  not  overturn  the  fabric. 
It  behoves  the  government  of 
bi'iia  therefore  cautiously  to 
preserve  the  confidence  of  the 
people;  to  disregard  the  dis- 
tant clamours  of  European 
ignorance  and  prejudice;  and 
to  resist,  with  the  wise  infle\i. 
bility  tbe;^  have  hitherto  dii- 
playad,  tha  ibort-aigbted  im- 


portunity that  would  ur|tt 
them  to  tamper  with  the  feA- 
ings  of  their  subjects,  with  re- 
gard to  interests, 'on  whiok 
their  jealousy  is  tremblinelf 
alive.  The  Indian  Char«ct«r, 
amidst  the  varieties  which 
may  be  rc^iinlud  as  national 
distinctions,  has  one  featurs 
is  common  ;  a  spirit  of  pasairs 
resistance,  which  wilt  enduj* 
much,  and  lon°;,  but  cannot  b« 
overcome,  by  persMaaioR'  or 
force,  and  which,  wheq  urged 
to  extremities,  breaks  forth  ia- 
to  sanguinary  ferocity,  or  des- 
perate daring.  On  what  occa- 
sion such  an  explosion  may  be 
anticipated,  as  moat  likely,  is 
sufliciently  obvious.  Political 
Tights,  and  religious  farth,  have 
ever  been  the  ul)jects,rnr  wbicb 
men  have  been  most  forward 
to  contend.  Of  the  first,  the 
Native  of  India  has  nerer 
formed  u  notion;  his  forefathers 
have  beijticathed  none,  not 
even  a  name  for  them,  to  bis 
inheritance:  not  »o  widi  hia 
belief:  that,  descends  to  faim 
from  the  shades  of  fabulous 
antiquity ;  is  interwoven  witfa

most  valued  recollections, 
and  moHt  cherished  hopes  ; 
and  in  spite  of  its  absurditiei.

existence.  To  wean  him  from 
this  attachment  must  be  tha 
work  of  time  alone;  the  at-

slippers  it  was  his  duty  ta

ry  Cominaiider  and  a  Chi«r 
of  Power:  he  had  several

Jagapa,  was  inurdercd  at

mncy  Ibeii  devolved  or

tial form  to  the  fortunes  oi  iiis

tences posssessed  himself  of 
those  territories  in  Malwa,  over

oarselres  of  the  opimrtunity, 
to  taki  n  brief  view  nf  those

(teadant  India  was  th«  thea-

occurrences,  which  agitated 
the  states  of  Malws  and  Aj-

The  Damet  of  SuulUa  and

familiar  to  English  ears  by 
various  iapoTlaot  events,  and 
especially  by  the  hostilities 
carried  on  by  thera,  ngninat 
the  British  Oovernment,  dur- 
ing the  ^ministration  of  the 
Marquis  WeOetleu:  the  re- 
sult of  those  hostilitieA  curbed 
fheir  amhitjou,  crushed  their 
tesources,  and  rendered 
then  Utile  formidable  to  their 
Eaiopnan  neighbours :  they 
ftill  however  continued  to 
hold  a  high  rank  amongst  the 
Native  Princes, and  exercised 
an  infiuence  no  less  extensive 
than  mischievous  over  the 
politics  of  western  India.— Tt 
may  not  be  uninteresting  to 
take  a  brief  survey  of  the 
steps  by  which  that  rank  was 
atlaiued.

Madhajte  Sindhia  ado[>- 
ted  as  his  heir,  Dowlut  Rao 
.findhiit  the  saa  of  his  younger 
lie))liew,  Anund  Hoo:  this 
Prince  was  but  thirteen  years 
of  ai^e  at  his  accession,  and

some  opiiosition  from  tha  fa- 
mily uf  his  predecessor,  before

narked  out  by  Bladhajet 
Sindhia.  and  through  a  variety 
«f  conflicts,  crimes,  and  in- 
trrgiies,  arrived  at  an  extent  of 
dominion  and  poner,  uupre- 
cedcnted  in  Mahratla  history. 
At  this  stnf>;e  of  his  ambition 
lie  pruvoked  the  lioslility  of 
tfie  British  Government,  and 
^iR  Edifice  ho  had  toiled  to 
laisc  was  overthroirn ;  his  dis- 
ciplined Battalions  were  des- 
troyed; his  Artillery  captured, 
and  the  sacrifice  of  someofhis 
finest  pOBnessioDS  in  Guzeral, 
and  Bundlecund,  was  the  price 
of  peace :  be  still  however 
icmained  a  Prince  of  respect- 
able resources,  and  formid- 
able to  his  neij^hbours,  to  ex- 
tend and  confirm  his  sscen- 
dancy  over  whom  he  continued 
thenceforward  to  be  the  chief 
sim  of  his  ambition. 

The  situation  of  the  family 
ot  Ilolkar,  presented  a  pro- 
mising fiehl  for  the  exer- 
«ise  of  hii  inUrfercnce:  this 
family  dated   its  origin    from 


the  same  period  as  that  of 
Hiitdhia.  Mulkar  Rao  Bolkhr, 
the  son  of  a  peasaiiti  adopted 
the  profession  of  arms, 
and  entered,  about  1720, 
into  the  service  of  tha 
new  Peshwa  Bajet  Rao:  be 
soon  disUnguislieil  himself,  a< 
in  a  few  years,  besiiles  the 
grant  of  lands  in  Malwa,  h« 
was  nominated  to  the  manage- 
ment or  the  Mahratta  interests 
in  that  Province  :  he  continu- 
ed to  take  an  active  p&rt  in  all 
the  turbulent  scenes  that  agi- 
tatad  Hindoostan  in  tbe  mid- 
dle of  the  I8th  century,  and 
after  the  battle  of  Paniput, 
retreated  into  Alelwa,  where 
he  employed  himself  in  set- 
tling bis  possessions,  even  then 
nearly  the  same  that  bia  suc- 
cessors continued  to  away :  be- 
sides these,  he  left  several 
districts,  in  the  Dekhan,  and 
Khandesh,  and  heavy  claima 
of  a  pecuniary  nature  on  the 
Princes  of  Rajputana.  iVvJ- 
fior  Rao  died  ai  the  advanced 
age  of  76 ;  he  was  succeeded

Ifge  they  eTercieed  with  litlle 
regard  to  distinctions  of  place 
or  timet  and  scrupled  not  to 
levy  contributions  on  the  neigh* 
l^rsand  allies,  of  their  titular 
■iiperiors:  such  were  the  bands 
9t  Jmggat  Bapoo,  Ram  Din, 
and  other  chiefs,  nominally 
officers  of  the  Holkar  Stale, 
but  in  truth  the  licensed  Cap- 
tfios  of  Banditti:  the  conse- 
quence of  these  mischievous 
expedients,  was  the  perpetua- 
tioa  of  the  evil  they  were  de- 
igned to  remedy  ;  the  desola- 
tioa  of  the  Provinces  preclud- 
^  the  collection  of  legal 
daea,  and  ibe  means  of  reple* 
Bvhing  the  public  trensury

privilege  to  plunder  became 
wortfaleas,  and  scenes  of  muti- 
ayand  violence  were  replaced 
1^  abort  intCTvah,  tbrough- 
Mt  the  ensuing  period. 
Itbeae  distractions  i^are  not  un- 
freqaently  fomented  by  the 
Muties  who  disputed  the  Civil 
&>verDneDt  of  the  StatSt  and 
who.  besides  ntnor  and  occa. 
siosal  branches,  may  ha  con- 
sidered, as  ranging  for  some 
Kus  in  three  district  divisions, 
e  first  waa  under  Metnah 
Jtoae,  the  lervant  and  .confi- 


dante of  the  Regent  Bate,  ip 
confederacy  with  Taniiah  AH' 
her,  and  tlie  Commander  Ram 
Dirt;  the  second  was  under 
the  Dewan  Otmpat  Rao,  the 
personal  favorite  of  the  Re- 
gent, and  7hnfia./o9;the  third, 
and  most  respectable,  .was 
headed  by  the  minister  Bala- 
ram  Setk.who  was  supported 
by  Qhafur  Kkan,  andofcoursa 
also  by  Amir  Khaa.  SindKin 
gave  his  support  to  the  first, 
and  Zaiim  Sink  the  roler  of 
Kotah  to  the  second,  and  m 
spite  of  various  aUernatioDs  of 
power  or  peril,  the  exclusiva 
prevalence  of  either  faction 
long  remained  undecidnd  i  tha 
acts  of  atrocity  that  finally  left 
tjie  advantage  with  Tantiah 
Jog  and  Ganpal  Rao,  belong  to 
a  period  more  recent  than  the 
transactions  hitherto  noticed> 
and  will  be  subsequently  de- 
scribed. 

The  insanity  of  Holkar,  an.d 
the  factious  contests  thatdis. 
traded  the  Regency  of  Indore, 
enabled  Sindhia  to  extend  his 
own  power  over  the  neighbour- 
ing Princes,  without  the  fear 
of  opposition.  Cpou  the  deadi 
of  his  old  rival,  it  waa  indeed

were  completed  for  the  recep-

opposite  to  the  eastern  angle

tery calculated  to  enfilade  the 
works  was  constrncted  od

Ike  S7A,  two  additional  bat- 
teries, one  for  two  eighteen 
ponwtera  and  the  other  for  3 
twelv*  ponndara  were  raised 
at  the  foot  of  the  Hill, 
exactly  opposite  to  the  great 

Steway:  die  interral  had  also

By  the  1st  of  Febnrary, 
the  batteries  had  effected  what 
was  considered  a  practicabia

a  brisk  fire  of  musketry  ac*

withstanding  this  opposilion, 
the  assailants  made  good

the  wall,  when  they  found 
themselves  stopped  by  a  pra-

dicular  ftoi  of  rock,  which  it 
was  necessary  to  surmount 
before  they  could  arrive  at  the

soil  on  which  they  stood  and 
the  missiles  hnrled  upoa

BO  transactions  of  general  im- 
poftance,  and  need  not  there*

idportaat  erent  in  this  quarter 
was  the  superceasion  of  liie 
Bfg»  of  Patgala,  in  the  admi- 
Diitnttion  of  his  own  affair*,  in

Ifaerafore  Tested  in  die  Aoxt,

Tlie  arrangement  encountered 
much  opposition  from  the  Ra- 
ja and  his  parti'ians,  and  an  at- 
tempt was  even  made  against 
the  life  of  General  Ochteriony 
the  British  Resident,  which 
there  was  reason  to  snspect 
arose  ontof  tbeas  trusiiCtiMs. 
A  young  Sikh,  who  iiowrvet 
disclaimed  all  primeditatloii 
or  preconcert)  attempted  o^ 
the  IftthofMay  to  shoot  th* 
Resident  in  hu  jnlankcen, 
and  this  purpose  being  frus- 
trated by  Oentrat  Ockterloiy'i

The  General  speedily  recopor-

fairs of  the  Patyala  statacon* 
thtued  to  improve  in  the  hand*

At  their  foot  -.  here  however 
tbav  encountered  jRwtjeet  Sink 
and  the  British  feudatories, 
-and  their  advance  therefore 
was  not  Buffered  to  proceed 
'iFitbout  notice  or  opposition. 
The  diacussioas  that  ensued 
it  ta  unnecessary  here  to  de- 
tail, as  the  t^eneral  encroach- 
ments of  the  Nepalete  wilt 
be  better  cotmected  with  th^ 
war  of  which  they  were  the 
proTocaUon.  It  is  sufficient  to 
observe,  that  these  agi:res«ioiia 
fCominenced  so  far  back  as 
180C,  and  that  in  thfl  years 
1810  and  l8ll,  they  were  ex- 
ercised on  various  points, 
through  the  -whole  line  of 
frontier,  from  the  Seticj  to 
vlfam. 

The  iniall  course  of  eastern 
boundary  from  the  hills  to 
Ckittagong,  afforded  no  occa- 
sions for  the  conflict  of 
national  interests,  and  we 
nujt  proceed  therefore  to  the 
latter  tor  subjects  of  record. 
In  this  quai'ter,  events  took 
place,  which  were  productive 
of  protracted  and  vexatious 
negotiations  with  the  Court  of 
4oa,aBd  which  have  no  doubt 
-left  in  that  quarter  impressi. 
o/ts  unpropitious  to  the  es. 
tajjlisbment  of  a  friendly  con- 
nexion, although  the  grounds 
of  that  disposition  were  un- 
justly aud  haatdy  adopted. 

The  oppicsBJve  Govern- 
aieflt  of  the  Biirmat  had  for 
Bonle  years  driven  a  nu^iber- 
o.f  ills  natives  of  Arai/mn,  to

quentty  no  diOiaulues  weri 
thrown  in  the  way  of  their 
change  of  resideiicp.  The  re. 
membrance  of  their  nativ* 
country,  and  the  resentmeui 
kept  alive  by  tbe  arrival  of 
fresh  fugitives,  produced  at 
last  a  determination  amongst 
them,  to  attempt  to  revenf^e 
their  wrongs,  or  redeem  their 
rights.  With  these  purposes 
tbey  collected  in  great  forc» 
under  the  cammanil  of  an  emK 
grant  of  some  consideration, 
named  KMgbering,  and  inva- 
ded the  Province  of  JriMuai 
io  the  beginning  of  1811. 

The  issue  of  an  armed  body 
of  men  from  tbeCompany's  ter- 
ritories, naturally  appeared  to  . 
the£urjRa  Government,  an  act 
in  which  ihe  British  a otb or itiea 
participated,  or  at  which  they 
connived.  It  was  stated  indeed 
that  the  force  had  been  coU 
lect^d  with  the  utmost  secr«. 
cy,  and  had  marched  wilbont 
the  knowledge  of  the  iiritish 
functionaries;  but  liltle  credit

To  remoTe  tbe  impreuion 
vhich  these  events  were 
cajculated  to  occasion,  it  vu 
deemed  ftdriaable  to  aend  an

jmm  in  the  end  of  1811, 
where  lie  was  amicably  re- 
ceived, althougli,  as  was  ex- 
pected, he  found  the  Viaeroy 
persuaded  that  the  Britisn 
tiorerament  waa  implicated 
iathelate  transactions.  It  was 
not  however  difficult  to  wea- 
ken this  belief  at  Rangomt, 
and  tlie  same  effect  might  have 
attended  the  envoy's  repre- 
sentations at  Amerapura,  whi- 
ther he  was  iinmediataly  in- 
vited, had  not  freati  causes 
of  suspicion  arisen,  and  liia 
journey  been  prudently  de- 
layed. 

The  Burma  troops  baring 
atlut  encountered  the  insur- 
gents, completely  defeated 
Ib^m.  and  an  the  fugitives  na;- 
tsrally  retired  to  the  Compa- 
ny's territories,  the  victorioua 
army  followed  them  in  the 
same  direction.  It  wan  now 
ucessary  to  Ofipose  their  fur- 
ther profresi,  and  a  small

tone  adopted  by  the  JiajmJt  of 
Arakka*,  who  jointly  witlt 
the  General  TynJapo,  corn* 
manded  the  troopsoi  Aoa,  was 
not  that  of  oonciliatian,  and  bs 
threatened  to  overrun  th» 
Province  otChitlagong  w.idt 
80,l)00rafln:  small  detadinienta 
were  actually  sent  across  tho 
River,  but  wore  driven  back 
by  patties  of  Seapoys,  and 
their  aggrcstion  disavowed  by 
the  Burma  commander.  The  ar* 
rival  of  reiaforcements  front 
Bengal  removed  all  apprehen- 
sion of  the  rxecuUoo  of  th« 
Jlaja'a  menncesr  and  enablftd 
the  British  authorities  to  insist 
on  the  retreai  of  the  Bvrmai, 
from  the  insulting  positioa 
which  they  occupied,  engaging 
at  the  same  time  to  use  every 
effort,  to  represi  any  attempt 
to  repeat  tlie  inva^on  of^- 
rakhan,  and  to  seine  and  se- 
cure the  persons  of  the  insur- 
gent chiefs.  The  demand 
of  the  '^^i  of  Arakhim 
for  the  deuvery  of  thoaa 
chiefs  was  resisted,  as  the 
aajiguinary  and  vindictive 
temper  of  the  government 
of  Ass  was  too  well  known,, 
to  render  such  a  measure 
consistent  with  the  claims  of 
humanity- — In  the  early  part 
of  1812,  two  of  the  chiefs,  Kak-

prehended, were  santprisonara

"esoept  a  fuw  liiinilred  men. 

The  sit'iatioti  of  the  envoy 
'at  Bantjoon  now  became  pre- 
.CEirioiis.  It  was  evident  that 
tlie  Government  of  Jm  iroidd 
not  be  satisfied  with  less  than 
the  surrender  of  the  insargent 
bhiefs,  nnd  it  iras  highly  pro- 
bable that  if  they  could  gstn 
possession  ofthe  envoy's  per- 
son, they  would  detain  him  and 
bis  suite  as  hostsf^es  for  the 
Helirery  of  the  rebels;  it  was 
therefore  thonght  expedient 
to  order  his  retiirn,  without  ac- 
cepting the  invitation  to  i4me- 
rapura.  Thrse  aiiprehensinns 
were  not  uitfoiintled  :  various 
.  attemn'-i  to  *ci/c  the  envoy  hart 
brill  projrcted,  but  were  not 
Pxcciited.  appare::;!y  throii;  h 
the  tiiuiditj-  of  the  Viceroy, 
and  the  ptPCinitioTts  taken 
agninsf  their  SHCfrPB  by  Vap- 
taiit  Otmninrf.  His  safety  was 
further  ensured  by  the  pre- 
icnce  i>l'  the  few  cruizers  and 
Vessels  thut  conveyed  succes- 
sive dispatches  from  Bengal, 
and  whose  arrival  filled  the 
fiincti'  naries  of  Rangoon,  with 
Violent  alarms  for  the  security 
of  th(!  City.  Such  was  their  a- 
gitalion  that  a  public  order 
M-as  promulgfitsd,  'lor  every 
house  to  prirvide  a  man,  armed 
with  a  sword  and  lanco,  ready 
to  appear  on  three  stmUes  of 
a  Ojng.  Inconsequence  of  this 
state  of  things  tlie  Envoy  nuit- 
ied  the  town,  and  resided  on 
board  the  3/.i&i&nrCruiser,&nd 
the  British  Residents  also  re> 
paired  on  board  t'le  Vesseli 
m  the  River.  At  last  the  «£!• 


tation  baring  tnbsided,  tkvj 
ventured  to  return,  and  at  the 
requestof  the  members  of  the 
Government.Capt  Catikingn' 
sumed  his  habitation  on  shore. 
After  a  variety  of  nnplea. 
sant  discuMions,  and  alternate 
exacerbations  of  distrust  and 
confideoee,  the  return  of  Cap- 
tain Cannmg  was  finally  de- 
termined.  On  theSlstCFt  July 
two  deputiesarrived  at  Ran' 
goon  from  Ameraphra,  profes- 
sedly to  ascertain  the  reason, 
why  the  Envoy's  visit  to 
the  capital  was  so  lon^  da- 
layed,  but  in  fact,  to  compel 
bis  journey  thither,  and  to  re- 
move the  Viceroy,  as  the  tiu. 
nishmeiit  of  his  having  failed 
to  effect  this  object.  The  in- 
tentions of  these  officers  were 
however  frustrated,  and  the 
mission  qaitted  the  BangoiM 
River  on  the  16th  of  August. 
There  could  be  no  question  as 
to  the  wisdom  of  this  deter- 
mination ;  it  was  only  to  be  re- 
gretted, that  knowing  the  bar- 
barous characterof  the  Aaraa 
Government,  and  anticipating 
the  probable  consequences  of 
the  invasion  of  jlraUoK,  such 
an  embassy  siioold  have  been 
sent.  The  baste  to  ori^nate  the 
representation  on  the  part  of 
the  British  Government,  could 
only  appear  to  Burma  judg< 
ment,  as  a  suspicious  promp- 
titude to  excuse  a  fault,  and  • 
timid  anxiety  to  escape  reta- 
liation: the' necessity  of  doioff 
so  proved  uliimately  imagina- 
ry, as  the  BurmoM  shewed  no 
reluctance  to  demand  reparS'

the  administiDtion  of  the  af-

the  Countess  of  Lopidon  and

Minto  received  the  public

by  eaily  association  with  tha

strongly  disposed  by  nature  to

Lord  Hinto  poMsessed  many 
claims,  which  were  readily 
acknowledged,  upon  the  es- 
teem and  regard  of  the  com- 
munity. Besides  the  address 
already  noticed,  a  public  <;n-

the  erime  of  inootinK  U  a  jounf

are  extremely  iimple,  and  of 
Ihem,  after  heaiiog  tke  eri- 
deace,it  will  be  impoiailde  for 
Job  to  entertain  a  dwibL  The 
«nly  point  on  which  jon  will 
kave  to  decide  is,  whether  or 
not  there  was  malice  in  tbe  act, 
for  that  ii  rendered  neccMarj 
by  the  itatnte ;  the  words  of  the

tng  pereoni  liable  to  pvniah- 
ment  a*  Felon*  for  wilfully  and 
natiolotttly  ahootiog  at  others) 
and  he  ii  therefore,  for  mob 
■_  wflM  and  maliciooa  ihooting, 
oapitally  liable.  The  f«ct«  of 
the  eue  are  tbc»e:  William 
Gilleaoe,  the  priioner,  is  a  pri- 
vate loldier  in  his  M^esiy'i 
Sth  Dragoons,  the  person  whom 
he  shot  Is  a  young  woman  who 
appears  to  have  been  at  the 
tune  at  Mcemt,  where  that  He- 
gtment  was  quartered  :  between 
two  and  three  o'cloi^k  of  the 
IJtIi  of  Au^uiit  last  the  ooctir' 
tni'S  happenttil.  He  had  en- 
gn^fld  to  po  out  witli  one  of  liis 
CMuradei,  to  shoot  nt  the  bulU 


f)M-«wagef,  akd'W 
that  apparent  parpoae,  »Am 
fcarhg  Idaded  hie  QaraUM. 
The  young  woman  was  afttia^ 
at  the  door  of  the  barrMki 
with  her  BOolher  and  a  uMM 
woman,  at  dfamer ;  the  prisoner, 
as  soon  as  he  eame  up  to  tihem; 
lifted  his  Carabine  and  poinUag 
It  at  dw  MrtlTe  woman,  aaid 
*'  Htasee,  lit  riraot  rott."  Sh* 
made  aome  obsernttioB  abont 
her  ear  being  sore  and,  on  her 
telKng  him  not  to  hurt  h«, 
withdrew  the  piece  and  port- 
ing it  at  Harr  Ann  Jonas,  told 
her  he  woald  have  a  shot  at  heaj 
she  being  frightened  got  ap  and 
attempted  to  ran  awar,  bttt 
stumbled  at  a  short  distance, 
when  Qilleece  fired  and  she  Ml 
wounded.  These  are  the  plnlB 
bets  of  die  case,  and  of  thm 
evidence  there  can  be  no  qnes- 
doa,  as  the  yoong  woman  wh« 
tras  shot  will  appear  befbre  y  on ; 
die  only  onestloQ  wlS  be,  wb»- 
flier  he  wilfully  and  malldouiljr 
shot  her.  The  circumHtancea  in 
hvonr  of  tbe  prisoner,  for  I 
would  wish  to  state  all  in  his  (h- 
vor,  as  well  as  what  makes  a- 
gainst  him,  that  the  trial  ma^  ba 
conducted  as  fairiy  as  possible, 
are  these.  He  was  undonbted< 
ly  engaged  to  go  but  on  Ihs 
snooting  party,  and  that  ntay 
account  for  the  loading  oftha 
gun  ;  it  will  be  for  you  to  de- 
cide whether  it  was  loaded  with 
that  inteatioB,  or  for  the  pur- 
pose U>  which  it  was  afterwards 
applied.  Another  circumstance 
seems  ^so  to  weigh  in  soma 
degree  in  hit  fhvonr.  It  is  this 
^Wben  he  came  np  to  the 
place  whore  the  women  were 
sitth^  he  first  pointed  it  at  the 
nedve  womao  ;  now  one  woaM 
'  hardly  suppose  that,  coming 
■  there  widi  the  inteddoa  of  shoot-

thote  to  you  from  Oodgur,  that 
I  intended  it>  march  against

ndid  oot  •nccecd,  eacamped 


at  a  CO  nsiderttble'di  stance  from 
tbe  plain.  The  fellows  were  ex- 
cessively impudent,  came  out  in- 
to the  plain,  and,  1  believe,  had 
half  come  to  the  resolution  of  a^ 
tacking'us.  In  this  lencoura 
ged  them,  and  at  fonr  o'clock  in 
the  afternoon  went  with  Hyaoo- 
ba  Khan's  atid  Jowba  Sney's 
parties,  and  got  concealed  in 
a  deep  ravine  m  a  line  with  tho 
ghnrry.  where  we  were  unseen 
by  the  garrison.  When  a  favot^ 
able  opportunity  offered,  m 
charged  down  and  ent  off  their 
advanced  parties,  all  of  whom 
were  speared  and  sabred ; 
whilst  we  were  doing  this,  a  par*

thtion,we  andentand  were  is- 
vned,  and  tbe  dencinE  room  pre- 
sented a  splendid  scene  of  gai^- 
tT  and  fuhion.  It  is  almost 
Heedless  to  say  that  all  tbe  beau-

were  a«Ben£ledon  thu  feitive 
oecastoa,  and  that  tbe  President 
wad  Stewards  performed  their 
ToluDtary  talk  witfa  the  ^Kstest 


BoUteness  and  pleasure.  The 
Maiunis  atid  Marcbioness  of 
HastliiK>  honored  the  Baobelori 


with  their  presence.  Dancing 
commenced  about  half  past  ten 
(^ClodE,  and  was  continued  till 
phst  midnight,  when  Supper  was 
announced  in  tbe  Haibie  Hall. 
Hie  arTUDgements  were  of  the'

rion  of  every  thing  to  gratify  tbe 
tiuta  and  aight.    After  anppar 


Hr.  Wjuch,  who  presided  uaA 
was  seated  between  his  iUostri-

tbe  gentlemen  to  fill  up  a  mnqxr. 
Every  ear  was  instantly  on  tfa« 
alert,  and  fortunately  we  hap- 
pened  to  be  so  near  him  that  uot 
a  word  escaped  us. 

Gentlemen,  said  he,  were  I 
about  to  offer  any  other  toast* 
than  that  wbidi  I  shall  bave  the 

EleBRure  of  proposing,  I  should

vittutanding  the  seeming  want 
of  gallantry  of  my  commenco-

before  t  conclude)  it  is  to  yoa 
Gentlemen  I  address  myself

wilt  be  reeolleoted  by  those  who

that  tins  was  the  only  event  that

tined,  in  all  probability  to  per- 
form very  essential  service  to 
the  general  cause  in  a  quarter, 
where  the  local  advantages  for 
deliberation  and  action  are  so 
great,  and  where  the  field  of  la- 
£our  is  »o  Taut.  Some  interest- 
ing particulars  were  given  of 
the  progress  of  the  New  Societf 
since  its  oonunencement.  In 
tile  absence  of  the  more  fu>  in- 
iMniution  which  may  be  expects 
ed  in  tiie  Madras  Report,  it  wiH 
be  satistkctory  to  the  tHends  of 
the  Bible  Society,  to  observo 
that  all  tiioie  deparlinenU  of  h:- 
bour,  which  embrace  the  versi- 
ons reifuircd  in  the  Peninsula, 
have  been  transferred  to  the  So- 
ciety at  Madras,  and  adoplcl 
there  with  increased  vigour,  and 
witli  the  best  prospects.  Indeed 
the  names  of  the  Gentiemen  as-

in  the  Management  Of  the  So-

■nited  in  the  best  of  oanses  can

ble Society,  after  ten  years  of 
bibonr,  during  which  it  has  di- 
rected its  attention  with  a  pa- 
rental solicitude  beyond  the  li-

bined efforts  which,  with  the 
blessing  of  Providence  cannot

list  are  Mr.  Youi%  and  Mr. 
Cooke.  They  entered  the  Co!-' 
lege  in  September  1818,  and. 
studied  the  Persian  and  Hln* 
dastaoi  languages.  A  se-' 
vere  iodbpontion  which 
occasioned  his  absence  from  tha 
pieiidency,  for  a  short  time, 
necessarily  interfered  with  fli8, 
regularity  of  Mr.  Young's  at- 
tendance on  the  public  lectorei. 
Mr.  Palmer  was  admitted  hi 
November,  I8I9,  and  was  ia- 
dolged  with  a  separate  exami- 
nation in  May  last,  at  which  he 
exhibited  a  knowledge  of  thpi 
Persian  and  Hindustani  lan- 
guages competent  to  entitle 
bim  to  be  reported  qnaliged  foc 
the  public  aenrice. 

liir.  Udny  who  entered  only  the 
College  in  NoTembcr  last,  was 
foimd  q^ualified  in  Hindustani,  . 
at  the  examination  which  took 
place  in  the  foUcwing  Decem- 
ber, even  before  he  had  attend- 
ed the  lectures  of  the  profess- 
ors. An  examination  in  the 
Persian  language  was  allowed 
bim,  in  April  lut,  at  which  ha 
was  so  successful  as  to  be  re- 
ported qualified  for  the  publio 
■errice  in  that  lan^age  also. 
To  these  proofs  of  his  acqni^'e-' 
meats,  has  been  added  the  a- 
wardofa  Medal  of  Merit,  for 
early  and  remarkable  pro&cien* 
oy  in  Hindustani.  This  outlui9 
of  his  Collegiate  career  BuSici-,  .

nected with  th«honlb)e  outran 
to  which  we  aUnded  jest«rday, 
■1  having  taken  place  on  Tuet- 
day  niehtln  the  Bow  Baaar. 

The  owner  of  the  hoau, 
which  was  made  the  acene  of  so 
dreadrnl  a  cataatroptie,  was  a 
widow,  whose  husband,  a  late 
iheriff'a  offloer,  died  a  few  dayg 
«eo.  She  bad  three  chtldnn 
with  her  besides  her  mother, 
and,  after  ten  o'clock  on  Tue»- 
day  Dight,  when  they  retired  to 
rest,  directioBS  were  given  to 
two  serTantt,  who  were  imok- 
Iftf  in  the  small  compooDd  at- 
tached to  the  house,  to  he  par-' 
tlcular  ia  shutting  the  outer 
door  before  they  went  to  sleep. 

After  isidDight  the  moth^' 
was  wakened  by  a  noise  at  tbe 
house  door,  and  recognized  the 
Voice  of  a  peon,  who  had  been 
einphiyed  some  time  back  wit& 
her  lon-in-law,  accusing  the 
nrranta  as  having' occasioned 
bis  being  dilcharged,  and  cat- 
ting them  unmercifully  with  a 
Weapon  which  he  had  in  bis 
band.  Soon  after  he  entered 
the  honse,  and  approaching  the 
idace  where  they  all  slept,  bis 
blows  were  Erst  directed  to  her 
and  then  to  her  daughter,  who 
wa*  roused  from  sleep  by  the 
noise  of  his  enUance.  The 
daagbtei   took  het    ■jma%tM 


child  ill  her  arms  andbemj 
for  mercy  to  the  babe  as  well  u 
herletf.  A  parley  ensued,  dur^ 
ing  which  they  got  oat  of  bed, 
and  thfl  niscreaot  promised 
ti>  spare  the  woman's  life,  pni- 
Tided  she  engaged  solemnly  not 
to  make  a  noise  or  ioform  a- 
|aiast  him. 

On  ber  asiendng  ta  thess 
Candmoas,  he  permitted  her  t» 
leaTe  the  house,  in  order  to 
carry  the  child  to  the  bouse  of 
her  grandmother,  which  wna  la 
Chnoam  Onlly  at  do  great  dis^ 
tauce  off.  when  iibe  wni  pro- 
ceeding along  the  street  wiA 
Otis  intent,  he  accompanied  ber, 
and  in  the  mean  time  her  mo^ 
tber  made  shift  to  quit  the  hoas* 
also  and  to  apply  for  the  aasis* 
tance  of  the  Cbokeydars  attach- 
ed to  the  Tannah  in  the  neigh> 
faonrhood.  These  persons,  pro- 
ceeding with  her  in  qucstof  him^ 
found  a  man  in  tbe  street  wfacni 
■he  recognised  us  the  assassin  ; 
Knd  hCj  Dnding  that  escape  wet 
impossible,  eiclaimed  (hat,  a( 
anatiTe  of  Hindoos  tan,  he  could 
not  submit  to  be  taken  and  kiU 
fed  by  Christians,  bat  would 
sooner  die  by  bis  own  hapdir. 
He  immediately  applied  tb4 
■word  to  his  own  throat  aqd  eat 
it,  but  he  was  not  able  to  indict 
a  mortal  woond  before  he  wai 
■ecured.

The  aooovnti  from  Persia  ex- 
Ubii  a.  distreiaiog  picture  of  the 
effects  of  the  epidemic  cholera. 
Hr.  Jukes  arrived  at  Kiumoon 
op  (be  I7th  September  on  bis 
march  frcimBiuuure  lo  Sbirauz. 
The  disease  had  indeed  almost 
ebtirely  oeased  at  every  place 
thro'  which  he  bad  Iben  passed  ; 
but  it  waa  rariag  with  freiit  vio- 
lence in  Shiraoz,  and  had 
•pread  dismay  and  consterna' 
tion  amongst  the  inhabitants  of 
tliat  city.  The  family  ot  the 
frince  was  amongst  the  lirjt  to 
feel  its  dreadful  efTools.  On 
the  leth  one  of  bis  wives  with 
several  Georgian  females  lel| 
vifitims  to  tbe  disease,  and  iu 
IcM  than  34  hours,  his  n^pther, 
one  of  bis  children,  and  several 
others  of  lets  note  were  num- 
bered wilh  the  dead.  The  greu- 
l^t  possible  alarm  was  neces- 
■prily  excited,  and  ibis  was  en^ 
creased  by  tbe  Prince  and  his 
Temainfnr  family  quitting  the 
Vityon  the  17iU.  Ali  Bulhonty 
seemed  to  cease,  the  huzars 
were  *hut,  and  all  who  could 
command  the  means  fied  the 
fiity.  Ft-i^  the  most  anthenlio 
aecoonts  that  could  be  collecl- 
C<l^tt  appears  (hat  nearly  1800 


deaths  DccoTTed  within  Qie  Aia| 

nine  days.  The  latest  accoimtA 
state  that  the  disc^e  was  on 
the  decline  nt  Shirauz,  thatlli« 
prince  intended  lo  set  ont  for 
the  city  e»rly  in  October,  and 
the  people  nerealowly  audfear- 
fully  retumiug  home.  It  nam 
reported,  ^bnt  the  disease  bad 
reached  Ispbahan,  and  it  wax 
feared  Uiat  this  fatal  disorder 
was  atill  progressive  thro'  Per- 
sia. Cour.  A'oc,  10.

performed  by  Mr.  Elphinslonc, 
and  she  reoeived  the  name  of 
tbe  Ganges  amidst  repeated

plendent, and  the  business  o'f

with  that  eane  and  lUacrity  so

very  considerably  increased  by 
the  donation  of  several  valuatile

rival  of  the  next  ships  from  Bo-

a  large  and  choice  selection  of

in  all  the  prin<npal  works  in 
Roglish,  French,  Italian,  and

menta  when  once  formed,  were 
firm  and  lasting,  and  proof 
against  interruption  by  time  or

In  bis  legal  oharaeter  he  was 
distingaished  for  bia  great

and  at  the  same  time  quickness 
of  bis  perception,  aaa  for  the 
justness  of  bis  application  of  Ui«

Some  jeara  ago  when  it  was 
deemed  necessary  to  appoint  a 
Magistrate  to  preside  over  tbe 
police  in  the  great  manafaetar- 
tng  town  of  Mancheiter,  he  was 
selected  from  tbe  resident  Bar-

ble and  ardnoRS  sitaation,  which 
be  continued  to  hold  with  ihe 
fiigheat  credit  until  he  left  the 
town  in  April.  1817.  He  was, 
nbont  tbe  same  time,  appointed 
to  the  situntiin'of Vice  Chan- 
cellor of  tbe  County  Palatine  of 
I^^uter,  bj  the  Hon'ble  Mr.

Ha  was  well  known  to  tbe  Eng-

tbe  time  of  his  death  in  prepar- 
ing for  tbe  press  a  work  on  civil 
law,  wUcb,  from  its  perspicuity 
and  fullness,  promised  to  be  a 
valuable  addition  to  the  litera-

position of  this  work  bad  baen 
to  him  during  bia  residence  hero 
a  soorce  of  amusement,  and  ha 
looked  on  it  more  in  the  light  of

On  the  31st  inxtuit,  a  dis- 
fairh  was  receive<l  by  His  Ex- 
odleucy  the  LieutenaDt  Oover* 
nnr,  from  J.  W.  Campbell  Esq, 
Commander  of  H.  H.  Ship 
Iit¥ntUtt,  reportinf  the  circam- 
■tances  relative  to  the  dieadfol 
and  Btrodons  massacre,  wblch 
has  taken  place  at  Manilla.  It 
bas  been  pablishad  already  in

In  our  own,  with  greater  canfi> 
dence,  m  (be  detail  baa  reachod 
«s  throufb  the  most  respect- 
>Ue  Official  channel. 

It  appeara  that  on  Captain 
Campbell's  arrival  at  Manilla  in 
H.  M.  Ship  DauMltu  on  the  9tb 
Nov,  he  perceived  evan  before 
lie  landed,  that  lome  dreadful 
catastrophe  had  marited  that 
place  with  desolation,  and  pr». 
dnoed  a  sta|piatlon  in  the  com- 
meicial  operatiooa  aa  the  liver, 
and  in  the  port. 


The  following  Is  the  narrs- 
tivB  of  the  facta  which  rave  rise 
to  the  appearance   atloded  to. 

Early  iu  October,  an  Epi(le< 
mio  disease  broke  out  smonffsl 
the  native  population  of  Ihe  city 
of  Manilla  and  the  oeighbonr- 
ini;  villflcei,  oommittinic  great 
devHstatiao  amongst  them;  and 
bidding  deGance  to  all  modieal 
aid. 

The  dtitemper  continned  witb 
nnabftted  fory  on  tbe  7lh  and 
8th   of  October. 

Discontent  began  t*  prevail, 
wblch  was  fonionted  by  soma 
artful  and  desigoing  people,  ob- 
der  the  oolor  of  certain  absnrd 
prejudices  against  siraogers.and 
wilh  the  view  of  exciting  the  na- 
tives to  the  coinmisaion  of  the 
voal  barbarons  atrocities. 

A  report  was  propagated  a- 
mongst  the  ignorant  maltilade, 
that  the  waters  of  the  lake  and 
rivers  had  been  pMsoned,  by 
rorelguers  who  had  recently  U' 
rived— and  who  consisted  at 
some  French  gentlemen  holding 
oommissioos  from  their  govern- 
ment, and  sent  for  the  purpose 
of  making  scientific  researches 
nmongi't  these   islands. 

On  the  9th  of  October,  the 
Epidemic  appears  to  have  at- 
tained iu  beii^t,  oottfiningiit 
ravages  almost  entirely  to  tb« 
natives,  without  affecting  tkv 
Spanliirdt  or  Portngaose.  Soon 
after  13  o'clock  on  this  fatal  day, 
a  genera]  rising  of  dM  people 
took    place,  with    ttm  express 

Siurpose  of  estenninatiDg  all

We  have  been  supplied  with 
acopj  of  one  of  the  papers  read 
at  the  meeting,  for  which  ws 
gladly  find  a  place  in  our  co-

ieoiion  in  Ceylon. 

Mtranta.  — Science  when  it 
eaiblesus  toadd  to  the  means 
of  human  subsistence,  is  most 
obviously  useful. 'This  has  been 
done,  I  trust,  in  avery  consider' 
■h|e  decree  b}'  the  introduction 
of  the  M»rmtUa  Artaidinarcu  or 
Indian  Arrow-tool  to  the  Island 
ofCefloQ. 

The  flne  and  amy  lac  eons  pow- 
der, or  farina  obtained  by  wash' 
iog  the  bruised  roots  in  water, 
has  been  long  a  general  orUcIo 
of  food  in  South  America.  It 
derives  its  vulgar  name  fVom  a 
notion  that  ir  was  of  nse  to  ex- 
tract poison  from  wounds  made 
by  tlie  arrows  of  tha  Indians — 
Howit  ma;  deserve  this  ri-pu* 
taiionis  not  very  clear,  but  as 
B^d  gelatinous  food,  natural- 


ly piJatable  to  infiuU,  and  lick 
persons,  it  is  highly  valnable,  aa 
asperieoce  has  successfully  es- 
tablished. 

It  is  orif^nallj  a  native  or 
Spanish  America,  being  found 
in  great  plenty  .about  La  Vera 
Crua,  and  is  very  extensively 
cultivated  both  for  domestio 
eons Dinpl ion.  and  for  exporta- 
tion in  the  West  Indian  islands. 

Many  species  of  Scitarnneona 
plants  are  found  In  the  East  In- 
dies, several  are  natives  of  Cey- 
lon ;  although  from  tiiem  (aa 
indeed  from  moat  ve^taUes)  a 
farina  may  be  obtained,  and 
some  are  aetoally  osed  for  tho 
purpose  ;  It  ts  inferior  to  that 
made  from  the  Mmrmtrn  Atu»- 
dinger;  as  It  retains  soma  acid 
or  other  unpleasant  flavour,  and 
can  be  seldom  made  of  the 
snowy  whiteness,  which  diatln- 
gnishes  genuine  'arrow-root. 

The  Martntu  ArimdinaetMr 
or  West  Indian  arrow-root  waa 
introdnecd  into  the  Royal  Bota- 
nic (gardens  of  Ceylon,  about 
the  latter  end  of  the  year  IS16. 

A  few  plants  were  transplant' 
ed  in  the  month  of  April  1817, 
into  a  small  piece  of  gronnd, 
three  feet  by  four,  eomposed  of 
rich  light  soil,  in  wbieh  they 
soon  assumed  a  very  healthy 
appearance,  increased  so  much 
by  offaeta  and  roofs,  that  in  the 
month  of  November  following, 
on  being  dug  up,  the  replanted  - 
Bucken  occupied  six  times  their 
former  space. 

The  climate  of  Ceylon  is  par- 
ticulariy  favoorabte  to  the 
growth  of  the  arrow-root,  so 
mvoh  so,  that  it  is  found  to  pro- 
duce an  abundant  crop  every 
sis  months  ;  there  are  now -as 
many  plants  in  the  garden  of  Co- 
lombo,  as  would    furnish  two

The  Krouod  allotted  for  this 
purpose,  iliould  be  divided  into

A  aandf  aoil  enriohed  with 
vegetable  mould  or  mannre  of 
any  sort,  will  ai^wer  extremely 
well ;  the  Jfaraalu  ArmuliiuuiM 
will  alao  grow  in  yellow,  or  red 
loam,  unless  it  is  very  s'iff;  in 
that  case  a  considerable  portion 
of  sand,  and  well  rotted  dung 
should  be  added,  and  well  mix- 
ed. 

.One  crop  of  this  arrow-root 
arrives  at  maturity  aboat  th« 
letter  end  of  April,  and  the  o- 
ther  about  the  same  time  in  Oc- 
tober, wlienit  is  to  be  dug  up, 
aud  prepared.  The  new  plan- 
tation should  be  completed  a* 
bout  the  middleof  each  succeed- 
ing month,  to  give  the  yoong 
plants  the  benefit  of  the  rains, 
which  fall  in  tboxe  seatons. 

It  is  necessary  to  trim  the 
suckers  of  the  outside  leaves 
■nd  long  6brons  roots,  to  render 
the  operation  of  plantiDg  more 
easy,  and  in  case  there  shonld 
baa  scarcity  of  plants,  catlings 
of  the  flower-stem  will  answer 
the  purpose. 

Jfthe  weather  should  be  dry 
and  hot,  or  sunny,  the  new  crop 
ought  to  be  covered  in  the  mid- 
dle of  the  day,  for  the  lirst  week 
or.two  after  its  being  planted 
and  watered  profusely  early  in 
the  morning,  or  lato  in  the  even- 
ing, until  young  leaves  appear 
from  the  centre  of  the  plaott 


when  that  is  the  case,  ooreiiajc 
will  be  no  longer  rehired,  and 
water  only  oocaslonally  in  verjr 
dry  weather. 

It  is  almost  unnecessary  (o 
mention  that  the  ground  ought 
to  be  kept  clear  of  large  weeds, 
but  low  grass  is  not  injurious. 

The  powder  is  prepared  by 
beating  the  roots  in  a  wooden 
mortar,  maoerating  them  in  wa- 
ter for  a  day  or  two,  and  stritio- 
ing  them  through  a  line  doth  or . 
sieve,  then  allowed  to  subside: 
when  the  water  is  poorcd  off, 
and  the  sediment  dried  in  tlie 
sun,  it  beoomes  a  fine  white 
powder. 

,  It  may  be  added,  that  the  pre- 
paration made  in  Ceylon,  is  far 
superior  to  any  imported  from 
England,  or  the  Malabar  Coast,, 
the  fonner  being  olten  adullc-, 
r»led  with  starch,  and  the  latter 
being  made  from  different  spe- 
cies of  plants. 

To  prepare  arrow-root  very 
delicately  on  a  small  scale, — 
the  roots  being  CBTefuiiy  wash- 
ed,—are  grated  into  a  vessel  of 
water,  well  stirred,  and  the  fib. 
rqus  roots  talcea  out,  then  pour- 
ed into  shallow  pans,  or  diahes. 
in  which  the  (lower  will  subside. 
The  water  being  drained  off,  it  is 
dried  in  the  sun. 

I  beg  leave  to  subjoin  a  short 
description  of  another  species 
of  jt/ornnla,  whidi  I  have  dis-

ject connected  with  the  doo- 
trines  and  duties  of  ChtisliaDi- 
ty,  the  eduoation  and  religious 
instruction  of  youth,  and  Iho 
evidences  of  our  Holy  Relijiion, 
many  of  which  are  especialty 
applicable  to  the  exigencies  of 
thia  Island,  it  ia  highly  expa- 
dient  that  this  Committee  d» 
henceforward  direct  its  alien-

pences  of  ttanalaling  into  Sin-

tracts  as  the  Bishop  of  tlie  Dio- 
cese, or  the  Select  Committee, 
■hall  recommend  as  adapted  to 
that  purpose. 

At  this  stage  of  the  proceed- 
iaga,  the  Bishop  observing  that 
the  Committee  appeared  to  ba 
most  favorably,  disposed  to  Ihs 
propositi^)  of  traoslatiog  the 
Society's  tracts  into  the  native 
languages  oflhe  Island,  inti- 
mated his  intention  of  recom- 
mending to  the  Society  at  homo 
to  send  out  a  printing  press  to

til tbe  new  College  at  Calcutta 
should  be  enabled  to  supply  all

that  a  abip  would  malce  in  try-

Upon  the  innimit  of  the  rock 
tbe  greateat  depth  of  water 
which  baa  as  yet  been  ascer-

the  tides,  which  at  Colombo  d» 
not  reach  two  feel.  The  sum- 
mit of  tHe  rock  is  very  smalt, 
and  appeara  to  be  of  an  oval 
ahape  of  aboot  twetitj  or  thirty 
feet  in  circnrnferenee,  and  A* 
sides  of  the  rock  exeeedingly 
steep  and  abrupt,  the  depth  of

from  nine  feet  to  twenty  •  Ave,

nine  fathoms,  whleb  is  the  great-

Another  great  cause  to  which 
we  may  look  is  the  employ- 
Aeat  afforded  to  the  popula- 
tion— the  public  works  which 
hare  beon  put  inta  aclivity  by

while  plans  of  publio  impiove-

in  the  (joiet  and  security  which

of  the  Island. 

It  would  be  Sitjnatice,  in  con-

vert  to  another  cause  which,  _ 
with  respect  to  one  class  of 
society  at  least,  has  had  s 
poiverful  operation  in  produc- 
ing these  elTccts,— I  mean  tho 
extraordinary  good  order  oif 
the  Military  on  this  Garrison,-— 
which  has  equally  operated  t» 
prevent  offences  among  that 
»ery  numerous  body — or  to  pro- 
voke them  in  others,— for  this 
their  officers  deserve  tbe  grati- 
tude of  the  public,  and  the  men 
«nder  their  command  the  res- 
ptct  to  which    good    conduct 

^ust  always  he  entitled. 

To  these  four  leading  caasflS, 
I  again.  Gentlemen,  refer  your 
attention,  as  those  upon  which 
we  may,  J  hope,  tely  for  tho 
continuance  of  the  present  verjr 
deeirahle  state  of  public  tran- 
qnility — the  disposition  of  tks 
people — tbe  vigilaiiac  of  a  pre- 
ventive police — thedueem[Moyr 
merkt  of  the  labouring  popula- 
tion— and  the  good  conduct  of 
the  Uilitacy. 

The  first  will,  I  tmst,  be  long 
cherislied  and  protected  by  tho 
mild  Bdmiuistration  of  justictf 
on  British  principles,  the  value 
of  the  second  has  been  so  clear-

By  the  Danish  Bri^  Sovtrtign

theaad  acconnt  of  the  loaa  of 
the  Batch  Ship  Arinui  Mfrima, 
Capt.  Lnngerreld,  near  Chriat- 
mas  IsUnd,  about  60  milei 
South  oftho    Straits   ofSunda. 

.  The  Carpenter  and  three  men, 
bcloDgingto  the  crew  of  ihii 
Ship,  were  picked  up  from  a 
large  drift  of  wood  and  broofht 
here  by  the  above  mentioned 
Brig.  They  have  given  the  fol- 
lowing particuiata  of  thismelan- 
vholy  event : 

The  Ship  left  Batatia  roads 
on  the  aaih  January  last,  but 
came  loo  again  the  same  day. 
Tlie  following  day  got  under 
way  again,  but  had  tostmggle  ■- 
gainst  wind  and  tide,  so  Ihal  on 
the  3d  of   February,    they  were 

.  itill  in  the  iitraits  of  Suada.  At 
noon  on  that  day  the  Ship 
grounded  in  17  or  IS  feetaoft 
niud,  fcom  which  by  means  of  a 
warp  she  was  got  clear  off,  with- 
out having  sugtained  any  da- 
mage. The  following  day  they 
found  no  more  water  bj  the 
pumps  than  before,  and  tbe  Ship 

day  the '  i 

■lay    the  ' 

Bijaally  v 
niug  wit 


lop-nila  and  foreuil  befort 
the  wind.  In  tbe  eveniu 
abont  eight  o'clock  the  wioa 
encreased  to  a  violent  gale^ 
when  the  fore  and  miien  top- 
sails were  furled  ;  kept  her  be- 
fore the  wind  underdose  reefed 
main  top  sail  and  fore  sail,  Tbe 
wind  still  continuing  to  blow 
with,  if  possible,  additional  vio- 
lence in  strong  gnats,  wUle  the 
sea  ran  dreadfully  high  ;  be- 
tween 9  and  10  o'clock,  the  main 
top-aail  Bad  fore- sail  were 
blown  to  pieces  ;  and  at  abont 
half  past  ten  she  shipped  a  hea- 
vy sea  which  curried  the  long 
andjolly  boats  from  their  lash- 
ings against  the  larboard  sid« 
ofthe  Ships  in  snch  a  nanuer, 
tbat  the  ringbolts  were  torn 
oat  of  the  deck  ;  at  the  aama 
moment  the  Ship  was  thrown 
OD  her  beam  ends,  so  tbat  tbe 
lee  ringing  was  nearly  six  feet 
nnder  water  from  the  channel  ; 
when  her  main  top-mast  went 
by  the  board.  The  rigging  waa 
then  cut,  in  order  to  Tighten  tbe 
Ship  by  the  masts  falling  over 
board  ( bat  altho'  tbe  masts  par- 
ted at  about  a  man's  height  a- 
bore  the  deck,  still  the  Ship 
would  not  rise. 

In  the  mean  time  ahe  bad 
shipped  so  much  water  that,  a|. 
iho'  all  hands  were  at  the  piusps, 
their  ulvost  endtavoors  were 
fruitless,  and  about  twelvo 
o'clock  at  night  ahe  bcfaato 
sink  forward  bodily  ;  so  that  tlie 
stern  rose  to  a  great  height,  when 
suddenly  she  went  down  and 
was  seen  no  more. 

The  above-mentioned  four 
shipwrecked  petqile  aaved 
themselves  with  another  sailor, 
clinging  to  some  ipars.  The  lat- 
ter however  had  his  left  band

every  soand  principle  to  grant  a  Keneial  discretian  to  Ukim  CoorU

the  right  to  belong  to  the  pro-

l^in.  A'iend  met  his  sentiments

fjlitrson  whiok  tbe  commcice

edunWDtthy  of  gentlemen,  q.t

subject  of  self-oongratolation,  tA 
find  bis  opinion  supported  by 
■ueb  powerful  authority.  Tha 
court  of  direetorx,  in  giving  Iheir 
geuerai  opinion  on  the  reasons 
assigned  for  this  measure,  ob- 
served :  "  Relief  \a  sought  ja

ed Ihat  it  was  oat  a  good  reason 
for  departing  from  great  general

M  OD  this  expi'dieiicj  (n'hich 
was  andelined,  aud  nn  andefio-

end  destroy  all  those  priDciples 
hy  nbich  commerce  was  best 
regulated  »nd  sapiiorled.  In  the

Aissemed  ftoni  the  provisions  of 
Ihe  last  charter,  by  which  Bris- 
tol and  Liverpool  became  alsq 
dcpOti  of  iDdian  prodoce;but 
undoabtedly    there   was    much 

J  round  for  complaint,  when 
orcign  Europe  was  made  "  the 
«nirep6t  for  the  productiua  of 
our  Indiaa  empire."  The  next 
uaragraph  o(tIie  letter  was  par- 
ticularly worlliy  of  observation. 
■  "li  cannot  be  expected,"  said 
directors  "  that  the  ships  nhldi 
may  ti«  engaged  between  India 
nnd  fureisn  Europe  will  cret 
touch  at  a  British  port.  The 
fortunes  embarked  will  be  alie- 
nated Irora  the  mother  country, 
^r  not  finally,  at  least  for  (V con- 
siderable lime  ;  and  the  means 
whereby  the  revenue  derives 
some  auppnit  at  present  will  be 
entirely  lost  to  the  country, 
Thus  the  docks  fojmed  throufih- 
out  the  kingdom  for  the  reot-p- 
tion  of  shippioe  engaged  in  the 
India  trade  will  become  so  far 
useless.  The  establishment  of 
yards  of  building  and  repairing 
ships  will  be  forsaken,  and  hence 
tine  material  source  of  employ- 
ment '  lor  all  tlie  classes  of 
tradesmen  connected  with  India 
ahipping  will  be  abolished." 
The  tears  which  he  b.ni  already 
expressed,  as  to  the  effects  of 
this  measure,  were  here  clearly 
pt^utedout;  and,  reeling  as  he 
did  on  the  subject,  he  held  it 
tight  to  call  oit  the  court  of  di- 


rectors in  lomelhing  like  tti« 
language  of  adjnralion,  and  ta 
intreat  them  to  n>c  their  best

which  they  were  placed,  to  pre- 
vent as  much  as  possible  the  in- 
jury which  might  be  apprehen- 
ded from  (he  operation  of  thii 
act.  If  he  were  addressing  the 
ears  of  members  of  Parliament, 
bewould  adjure  them,  ns  ibef 
valued  the  interests  of  their 
country,  not  to  extend  this 
principle  to  our  other  colonies, 
DCeause  sncfa  a  proceeding  mnit

When  eTerj  bononrable  and  pa- 
ttintlc  Eqslisl)  heart  must  wish 
to  see  their  consumption  extend- 
ed. His  bon.  triend  had  said, 
that  as  an  India  proprietor  lie 
cared  not  whether  the  vesiel 
which  traded  to  our  India  terri- 
tories sailed  fiom  Bonrdeanx, 
from  London, or fromliverpool; 
bat  he  afterwards  admitted, 
that  he  wiuld  rather  see  English 
capital  conhncd  to  an  Bngliah 
channel,  !^ow  that  Tery  admis- 
sion shewed  most  manifestly 
the  danger  of  tliis  extenaioa  of 
t^e  principle  of  free- trade.  The 
fact  was,  that  the  ape«aIatioiu 
from  foreiga'ports  would  be  co- 
vered by  British  capital  {htmrl 
Aenr/),- instead  ofBritish  capi- 
tal being  employed  in  British

eign manufactures,  loreign  in- 
suranoe,  and,  by  and  by,  even 
foreign  snpra  cargoes,  as  well  as

to  him  that  "pverj  connUy  was;

haps the  fears  he  entertained  of 
tbe  effects  of  this  ael  would  not 
have  extended  to  so  great  a  de-

Mr.   ChalMert    expressed   his 


laid  before   the  Court

the  Propl-ietors  last  assembled. 

Mr.  Rigbii,  Mr.  Hume,  Mtd 
Mr.  R.  Jackton  suggested  tho 
propriety  of  having  papers  of  sa 
much  importance  printed  for  ths 
Use  of  the  Proprietors. 

The  Chairman  said,  the  By- 
Laws  did  not  direct  that  thuss

at  alt  events,  whenever  any  Pro-

ing his  Mujeiiy  to  isiaa  war-

•n  ull  other  stniilar  occusioii.i  of

by  lucmbers  of  Parliainunt,  they 
were  still  hound  by  the  Act  of

did  not  directly  receive  emou-

means  of  the  extensive  pa- 
'  UonaRe  of  that  office.  By  the 
■teteroeot  extracted  from  a 
late  publication,  it  appeared 
the  patronage  yearly  amount-

lowing  appointments  ;  2B  ca- 
de tships,  and  the  uomi  nation  oE 
two  writers  and  four  assistant- 
surgeons.  A  writership ,  it  was 
well  known,  was  equivalent  to 
thevalneofa  seat  in  Parlia- 
ment, 81  was  proved  in  tha 
case  of  the  charge  Bomeyearg 
ago  brought  against  the  No- 
ble Lord  at  the  head,  of  th* 
foreign  department,  when  it 
appeared  the  Noble  Lord  bad 
given  a  writership  on  condition 
of  receiving  in  linn  of  it  a  vo- 
raination  to  «  seat  in  that 
Home.  The  patronage  of  tha 
Board  in  office  given  to  them  to 
dispose  of.  amounted  to  aoliarj* 
on  the  India  Company  of  not 
less  than  £800,000.  He  was 
happy  to  find  that  this  eapendi- 
tnte  would  bedispensedwitbiB

bad  rarely  even  met  as  a  Board, 
aiid  he  trusted  that,  as  it  vas 
now  nbout  to  be  eneculcd . 
without  salary  by  the  Rt.  Hon. 
Gent.,  thal.it  would  be  acted 
apon  as  a  precedent,  and  that 
at  no  future  time  the  Right 
Hon.  Geutleman  would  suffer 
himseirto  be  persuaded  to  take 
any  salary  as  he  had  already 
pledged  himself  not  to  do. 

Mr.  Bthunt  said,  he  bad  not

there  was  a  man  above  so  bass

Mr.  Dennuin  stud,  be  insinn. 
ated nothing:  be  merely  pntn

words  base  and  corrupt.  The 
report  to  which  he  nlluded  was 
in  drcntation.  He  had  seen  it 
lb  the  newspapers.  He  felt  no 
political  hostility  to  the  Rt.  Hon. 
Oent.  (Mr.  Canning,)  and  he 
■honldbe  the  last  man  in  the 
world  to  insinuate  any  (hinsin- 

tarious  to  his  character.  What 
le  Duderstood  was,  that  the  Rt.

cirCnmstances,  sDreJy  it  was 
competent  to  any  Hon.  Gent, 
present,  to  ask  what  was  to  be 
done  with  the  mlary.  The 
tdends  of  the  R(.  H'-n.  Gent. 
(Mr.  Canning)  should  feel  rather 
obliged  lo  him  for  aflbrdlng  this

express  his  surprise  at  the  ex- 
treme soreness  displayed,  upon 
an  occasion  that  seemed  to  wor- 
raotitiojittle. 

Mr.  Attelt  said,  he  could  see 
oothingin  what  had  fallen  from

30.— iSv^fy.— The  Honse 
went  into  a  cammittee.  The  fol- 
Ibwing  resolution  was  then  pro-

craitioK  senice  ot'lho  Bast-India 
Company  in  Great  Britain  and

Ur.  Hanu  opposed  the  resa- 
Julion.  He  understood  there  was 
•u  enf;agnn>eot  between  the 
East-India  .Cumpany  and  the 
Uovernroent,  by  which  the  for- 
mer was  hound  to  pay  all  these

■ecessary  that  the  expenses 
■houtd  he  voted  by  Government, 
there  was  no  other  legal  mode  -

nteiwiantsof  Lonilon  tradini;  t» 
thfrEait  Indies,  signed  by  all  tha 
prinojpnl  bonset  in  this  trade. 
The  petition  had  originated  in 
eonseqocnee  of  on  npprebension 
excited  by  a  bill  now  brought  ia 
by  the  Right  Hon.  GenL.  th» 
Chanceltcr  of  the  Excherjuer, 
for  imposing  certain  increaseil 
dniies  on  sugar  coming  from 
the  East  Indies.  The  petition 
beln^^read,  the  Hon.  Member 
roiilended,  that,  as  very  liltle 
sugar  camefrom  the  Bast'lndiei, 
the  interests  of  the  West  India 


pose  to  protect  them.  Id  fact, 
tfaair  iotoresls  were  not  likely 
to  be  affected,  by  the  triHiui; 
import  of  clayed  sugars  from 
the  East  Indies.  Tlie  provision* 
Dl' this  bill  would  be  vexatious 
tA  the  East  India  inerohants. 
The  amount  of  the  duties  on 
■uoh  sugars  would  be  so  very 
trilling  as  to  present  no  tempta- 
tion to  the  Sight  Hon.  Oent.; 
especially  as  a  purchaser  of  su- 
gar conld  not  tell  on  the  (inay

the  sacrifice  slioald  be  voluntary, 
that  no  iliaga  oor  force  ihoald 
he  used.  He  had  Ulelj  aon versed 
with  a  f^eatlemao,  the  Rev.  Mr. 
ThompsoD,  who  told  him  that 
wheu  lie  was  in  a  vessel  neai 
Calcutta,  be  abserved  a  ntune- 
rous  assemblage  of  persons  on 
the  shore  ;  apprnachmg  nearer, 
he  sair  that  one  of  these  sacrifices 
was  about  to  lake  place.  The 
female  fainted  several  times  ;  at 
lengtb,  recovering  a  little 
Stiengtii,  she  approached  :  her 
spirits  again  forsook  her  ;  when 
the  perioDS  who  were  near  her 
laid  her  on  the  fDoeral  pile, 
and  bonnd  her  down  As  the 
preparations  were  not  quite 
complete,  sbe  recovered,  and 
endeavoured  to  extricate  her- 
self; upon  nhjcfa  the  firebrand 
was  placed  in  the  hand  of  her 
eldest  son,  anil  she  was  speedily 
consumed  with  the  body  of  her 
husbnad.  In  some  parts,  from 
a  scarcity  of  fuL-I,  the  unhappy 
victimwas  exposed  to  the  hor- 
rors ofalinReriDgdealh.  What- 
ever doubt  there  might  be  of  the 
policy  of  the  interference  of  the 
Government,  these  wretched 
beings  ought  not  to  be  permitted 
to  exceed  what  was  allowed  by 
Ibeir  own  laws  and  prejudices. 
All  these  evils  sprung  from  one 
sonrce — that  of  the  ignorance  of 
the  natives  ;  the  only  cure  was 
(o  bo  found  in  affording  them 
iDstniction.  This  should  aai- 
matc  the  Oovernment  to  extend 
to  (hem  the  advantages  of  edu- 
cation. The  Hon.  Gent,  having 
expressed  the  serious  satisfac- 
tion he  felt,in  bearing  testimony 
to  the  exertions  of  the  Governor 
General  in  India,  and  Ike  man- 


ner in  wMeh  those  axtrtiong 
bad  been  hailed  by  the  native^, 
concladed  with  moving  for  "  all 
papers  and  documents  relating 
to  the  sacrifices  of  females  on 
tbe  fnneral  piles  of  their  hus- 
bands in  India." 

Mr.  B.  Batkurit  said  he  bad 
no  intention  to  oppose  tbe  mo* 
tioa,  although  he  Ihonght  tija 
question  would  be  better  dis-^ 
cnised  when  the  House  was  in 
possession  of  the  informatiooa 
compriied  in  the  papers  moved 
for,  than  from  partial  extracts, 
however  fairly  tha  Hon.  Gent, 
had  made  his  statements.  Ha 
was  sorry  to  say,  that  the  num- 
ber of  these  sacrifioes  had  bean 
nearly  doubled  since  (be  year 
I8i8,  and  that,  too,  at  a  lima 
wheu  the  Oovernment  had  been 
using  their  utmost  exertions  to 
prevent  it;  This  had  been,  in 
aorae  degree,  occasioned  by  mi 
epidemic  disease  that  occasion- 
ed the  nomber  of  deatba  ; 
and,  consequently,  it  bad  aug- 
meuted  the  number  of  Sacrifices. 
There  was  a  doubt  whether  the 
inlerforence  of  Goverament  had 
not  increased  ihe  erll.  When 
the  Hon.  Gent,  bad  talked  of 
our  following  tbe  example  of 
our  predecessors,  did  he  mean 
that  the  Govern  or- general  was 
torole  wiiha  rod  of  iron  T  Did 
heibinkit  possible  that  he  could 
prevent  this  custom  by  force  f 
The  Hon.  Gent,  bad  spoken  of 
the  conduct  ofEuropean Powers : 
eur  own  Oovernment  bad  en- 
deavoured (oprevent  it  at  Cal- 
cutta :  the  consequence  was, 
that  the  people  look  the  victims 
out  of  the  walls  of  the  city,  and 
sacrificed  them.  Indeed,  tha 
factalluded  to  by  ihe  Hon.  Gent, 
of  the  spectacle  witnessed  by  a 
reverend  gentleman  near  Cal. 
cntla,  was  conclusive  upon  this 
point.  He  believed  that,  if  tha

Fint,  tbat  this  ahomioabte  and

»ext,  that  it  was  not  politic  this 
abalitiou  should  be  cQected  by 
any  arbitrary  interference  of  llie 
Execative  Go«roment  in  India. 
In  hii  mind.it  would  be  extreme- 
ly improper,  that  the  Home 
ahould  throw  on  tbe  India  Go-

qaences  which  would  necessari- 
ly arise  out  of  anj  hosiile  dis- 
casaiun  in  that  House  of  tbe 
rights  of  tbe  Indian  popuimion. 
Any  attempt  at  imperious  dicta- 
ttod  on  the  part  of  the  Ilrili.ih 
Parliament,  on  the  delicate  sub- 
ject of  national  and  immemorial 
usage,  altboiiEh  founded  on  pre-

feeling  a  disincU nation  to  tbe 
moiiop,'  when  the  proposiiion 
bad  been  nwde  to  him  last  year

respect  to  India,  tointerfere  pe- 
remptorily with  the  r^ligioui 
prejodices  and  national  feelings 
of  the  inhabitants  !  He  would 
put  tlie  case  of  a  practice  lint 
too  prevalent  in  all  catholic 
countries :  be  meant  that  of  in- 
muring  for  life  within  the  walla 
of  anunnery,  those  females  who, 
from  their  tender  age,  could  ba 
scarcely  supposed  capable  of 
haling  a  free  will  of  their  own. 
The  law  in  this  case,  however, 
required  that  these  partieii

make  a  protestation  that  tkef

cement  by    which    the   empire 
that  country  had  acquired  In  the 
Bast  was  bound  to  Great  Bii- 
tain?    This  country  at  present 
exhibited  a  siugalarly  aplcndid 
example  to  ihe  wuild  of  the  su- 
peiiority  of  the   line   of   policy 
pursued  witli  respect  to  her  co- 
lonial poJ^essiun;   whereby    it 
bad  retained   the  alTection  and 
attachment  of  the  people  it  bnd

liad  stated  the  possibility  of  our 
affecting  a  complete   ctmn^e  iti 
the  religious  observances  or  na- 
tional customs    of  the  Indian 
people,  arguing  from  the  suc- 
cess in  this  respect  which  attend- 
ed the  progress  of  the  Mahome- 
dan  arms;   whom    in    fact,    ai 
conquerors,  we  had  succeeded 
in  ibal  country.  In  the  progress 
of  out  empire  in  that  country, 
and    tliat  of  the  Mahomedans 
whom  We  succeeded,  there  were 
characlertstic  points  decided  by 
the  different  spirit,  in  the  nature 
•r  OUT  invasion  of  that  oonntry 
«)id  tkat  vr  the  Hakomedtus. 


They  onne  a*  conqnerata  iid 
possotsed  Ibemselvcs  of  (ba  leil 
of  India,  and  overthrowior  &• 
very  religion  of  the  connlry,  wi^ 
its  moat  ancient  jnstitntionc,  bj 
the  iword.  The  British  bad  ne> 
ver  seized  the  soil  of  that  cobb- 
try,  DOT  in  the  least  interfered 
with  it*  religious  iastitDliou. 
England  stood  alone  amonfit 
nations,  an  exception  to  th* 
conduct  of  Ihe  ancients,  aa 
example  to  the  modern  world  ; 
loOueDcinif  and  govertdng  a  po- 
pnlalion  of  one  hundred  miUions 
of  inhabitants  in  perfect  poMeSr 
sion  of  their  former  manner^ 
cusloins,languBgesnd  religions; 
and  wfaal  was  most  siogidar  of 
■II  was,  that  though  we  wer« 
the  nndispuled  rulers  «f  tba 
connlry  and  its  reiaurces,  tliei* 
was  not  a  single  foot  af  land 
which  we  could  call  our  own. 
(Hear!  heart)  He  trusted  that 
so  splendidly  successful  a  sys- 
tem of  policy  would  never  ba 
departed  from,  nor  be  (uflcred 
to  be  alTecled  by  circumstao- 
ces  so  quesiioanble  as  tlioie  un- 
der which  onr  sympathy  was 
now  altempled  to  be  excited. 
If  we  would  pursue  a  sj  stem  of 
policy,  great,  beneficent  and 
wise,  we  ought  studiously  to 
abstain  from  rrrormatjoa  og 
improvement  introduced  by 
force  or  accompanied  by  com* 
pulsion.  It  bad  beeo  said  that 
the  gradoal  diHusion  of  kno*|-

productive  of  arevotuljon  in 
sentiment,  and  even  in  castom 
and  habits.  No  donbt  mnch 
was  to  be  expected  from  the 
effects  of  a  slpw  and  steady 
progression  in  nsefnl  know-

Bnderwood.  The  paisage  of  this 
Forest  has  a  tendency  to  effect 
one's  spirits  with  a  sort  of  mc- 
lancboly,  for  here  old  Silence 
holds  his  solemn  reign,  undis- 
turbed, except  perhaps  by  the 
monotonous  note  of  the  wood- 
picker,  or  by  the  pa-sing  breese, 
or  when  echo  gives  back  Iha

add  to  this  the  sensaiion  expe- 
rienced from  the  knowledge  of 
being  in  the  neighbourhood  of

different  from  the  proximate

the Cherriflgbaiy  blllsopeD  npon 
the  view  in  an  irregular  us«»-

into  which  we  Dow  enter.  On  an

stand  a  few  hats  eonpoaing  tta

judgment,  i>  not,  it  is  believed, 
very  generally  known  even  (a 
the  reading  world.  A  lively  and 
accomplishedwriier  of  ibe  pre- 
sent day,  the  antbor  of  Sketches 
from  St.  George's  Fields,  whilst 
be  recommends  ils  perusal,  ac- 
counts for  Ibe  necessity  of  such 
a  recoDimeadalioo,by  sapposiair 
eeuetal  readers  to  be  ftighlened  ' 
by  the  name  of  Sir  WiUitm 
Jottei,  asif  a  composition  adapt- 
ed to  ordinary  capacities  could 
scarcely  be  expected  from  >o 
eminenta  scholar.  Tberemay be 
someihiug  in  this,  but  the  more 
obvious  causes  are  the  niytholo> 
gical  construction  of  the  story 
and  the  uninviting  appearanceof 
a  literal  and  prose  translation. 

Mr,  Mill  supposes  Sarenlalm  . 
was  selected  for  Irnnslatirin,  as 
the  tr*t  specimen  of  the  Uinda 
Drnma ;  ii  may  be  so  in  on* 
sense— the  exquisite  bcaaty  of 
the  lanf^uage  which  is  sarpnxsed 
by  very  few  oflbeHindu  Plays— 
hot  as  this  was  a  beauty  utteriy 
incapable  of  transfusion,  it 
could  scarcely  bave  furnisbed 
a  reason  for  the  preference  of 
this  piirticular  composition,  and 
a  more  ready  motive  may  be 
found  in  its  being  more  generally 
known  to  Hindu  scholars,  and 
its  being  the  first,  and  pertaaps 
the  only  Drama  which  Sir  W. 
Jones  had  an  opportunity  of 
translating.— He  tells  ns  indeed 
*'  that  the  tragedies,  comedies, 
farces,  and  Musical  pieces  of 
the  Indian  Theatre  would  All  as

several  wholly  exempt  from

nesB  of  which  is  human  life, 
and  (he  actors  in  which

as  these,  as  they  present  per- 
sons andiocideots  with  which 
all  can  sympathise,  and  das* 
crihe  modes  of  ihinluDg  and 
living  at  once  natural  and 
novel,  would  have  famished  a 
much  more  universally  interest*

Again,  as  Sir  W.  Janes'* 
purpose  was  togivea  fac-similw 
of  the  original,  it  may  be  ques- 
tioned whether  his  translation, 
elegant  as  it  is.  Is  not  too  literal 
to  be  read  with  pleasure  by 
meie  English  readers.  Ther» 
is  no  turgidjty  of  metaphor,  nor 
quaintness  of  conceit  in  lh» 
Sanscrit  writings  of  the  school 
t»whioh  .iiacaniah  belongs,  bnt' 
there  must  necessarily  be  mueli 
thntisvery  now — very  ilrange, 
and  of  which  the  appljoafion  ia 
not  obvious  lo  European  ima- 
f  inaiions  ;  and  being  oOcred  in 
all  thrir  original  simplicity,  th» 
beauties  of  the  conception  ar» 
more  likely  to  excite  aatonish- 
ment  than  comuiiDicate  plea- 
sure. It  must  also  be  reoollect- 
ed  that  macb  of  the  charm  oC 
Poetry  lies  in  its  music.  Many 
ideas  '  nrnrHed  to  immortal 
verse,'  gain  from  that  bond  a 
distinction  whidi  they  would 
not  otherwise  eiijoy,  and  would 
be  denonnoed  as  unworthy  of 
Botice  irthey  weK  tsonveyeditt

IS  not  mere  conjcctupe  : — seve- 
ral of  the  Morlhera  Minstrel's

and  that  Febirhta,  althongb

oorreotion  and  improvement. 

One  ipecimen  of  FKitlsHTii'i- 
InRccnracy  has  served  to  punle 
tlie  wriiei's  of  Burope  in  no  in-

Now  this  is  tolerahly  well  for 
a  writer  who  professes  extreme 
caution,  and  readily  qnestiooe 
asieriions  ihat  rest  np on  mark 
belter  autbnritv  :  his  account  has 
as  little  truth  in  it  as  anv  of  the 
previous  modei  of  l(lliu)C  the 
story,  and  it  requires  hot  litite 
research  to  discover  a  very  dif- 
ferent version  of  ihc  narrative. 

Tha  most  rationel,  aud  no 
doubt  most  accurate  account 
of  the  demolition  of  the  lilul 
Sumnat  by  Uahmud,  is  to  be 
fooud  Id  the  Tebcat  Acberi, 
a  history  of  Achtr'i  reign,  with 
an  introductory  view  nf  the 
transactions  of  tbe  Mobame-

Uonarch — in  point  of  date, 
therefore,  it  bai  the  advanlage  of 
PerUiim,  and  as  a  work  of  Rood 
taste  and  sober  Inveiti^tioii  is

is  said  lo   Ijave  dUsppeared  &t 

Wben  the  Sullan  arrived  at 
^'ekerwalth,  (tLe  capita]  nf  Gu- 
zcral)  he  found  the  city  desep 
led,  aud,  carrying  off  sucb  provi- 
tiens  as  ouuid  Le  procured,  he 
udvaDCed  to  ^'umiuit — the  inliS- 
biutiils  of  tbii  place  atiut  tliejr

k«on  carried  by  the  iiresistfble 
valour  of  his  troops,  and  a  ter- 
rible slaughter  of  its  defen- 
ders en&ued.  The  temple  was 
levelled  wiib  ibe  gound — the 
Idol  £Kin»at,uLich  wa^i  of  stone, 
vras  broken  to  pieces,  and  in 
voromcmoratioa  of  ibe  \ictory, 
a  fragment  was  sent  to  Gkixui, 
where  i(  was  laid  at  the  tbresh- 
hold  of  the  principal  mosque, 
and  was  long  after  trodden  un- 
der foot  by  the  faithful." 

We  have  here,  therefore,  no 
allusion  to  face,  or  nose  or  belly, 
nor  to  the  sum  offered  for  its 
ransom,  taor  the  booty  obtained 
by  its  fracture — The  story  is 
told  without  the    foreign  aid  of 


very  unfair  representati- 
on of  JUirhionrCi  account,  wliti 
Slates  that  it  was  JStt  cobita

travagaut  than  that  of  Ferisbf*^ 
He  talks  it  is  true  of  rhe  lempje 
being  supported  by  flfiy.sis  pit- 
Ibts  nf  gold ,  and  of  the  enormoas 
bout}'  acquired  by  the  plundef 
oftfaeteuiple  Bud  fort;  but  w« 
have  nothing,  even  in  hit 
narrative,  of  the  muiilafioR 
of  the  image,  its  proposed  rw- 
depplion,  or  the  discovery  of 
its  concealed  ^ealih,  'Tq  re- 
turn to  tije  image,  tfaeiefore, 
wc  are  to  infer,  Irom  the  above

pressly states,  proporliouabla

pretensions  to  imitate  bumsnity 
"  even  abomiuBbly" 

What  then  was  Sumnatlln 
oat  present  intimacy  wiib  tho 
Hindu  sjittm,  we  cauno't  be  at 
a  loss  lo  reply— it  was  notbinff 
more  than  one  ofthose  emblems 
of  Sim,  by  which  alone  in  most 
of  l^e  temples  of  Hindustan  that

more  convincing  then  the  bca** 
tiful  speech  of  Mr.  Canning.  !■ 
nhiph  he  extols  the  Governor 
General's  motives  for  enterJnf 
into  the  war — his  merit  in  con< 
dncting  it — his  moderation  in 
concluding  it — and  the  favour-

woven  test  and  the  most  in- 
Uructive  commentary  which  have 
appeared  on  the  subject  of  th* 
war.  But  the  speech  as  we 
hare  it,  though  admirably  com* 
posed,  is  not  said  to  be  pre* 
cisely  what  it  was  when  apokea, 
and  therefore,  if  I  quote.  It  will 
be  only  from  the  reply.  I  most 
say  however,  that  if  it  was  tho 
reply  and  the  military  des* 
patches  which  furnished  the 
banqnct,  it  was  the  speech 
which  ridded  some  geotlemenof 
squeamish  appetite  of  their  dis- 
likes, and  made  them  praise  tha 
banquet,  as  they  did,  both-whila 
Ihey  sat  at  it  and  when  they 
TOie  Dp  from  it.  Glowing  aa 
both  prodnciions  are,  no  conw

are  not  the  words  of  sobemesi 
and  truth. — Never  was  so  mnch

Those,  bawflver.  who  m 
downtlght  territorial  a)arniiiti{ 
have  nothing  Tor  it  bill  to  try  to 
trsDqnilllse  their  miada  by  MmIIj 
determining  which  is  dM  leM' 
evil — total  abstinenoo  froih  law- 
ful oonquest,  or  th«  absolnte 
abandonment  of  India.  No  to- 
lerable politidao  has  said  that 
we  can  stand  atlll  ;  and  the 
veriest  pedlar  in  the  metropolia 
has  Hot  yet  recommended  a  re- 
trograde _  eourse :— althoafh 
there  can  be  no  doubt  but  that 
the  only  way  for  the  Company  to 
become  (what  it  is  aomelimea 
thought  the  greatest  mercanitle 
association  on  earth  Onght  to 
be)  imiHtmeli/  rick,  would  be  Iv 
forsw<;ar  nHiional  honor,  char-

banding  their  forces,  and  con- 
verting their  great  government 
towns  into  mere  factories,  to  be* 
come  once  more  indusltioua 
traders — aiidicted  to  nothing 
but  the  love  of  sicca  mpees, 
alar  pagodas,  and  gold  moburs. 
But. it  is  not  likely  that  Ibis,  or 
any  thing  like  ibis,  wilt  be  the 
effeot  of  the  experience  and 
virtue  of  these  times,  'Wrmnst 
therefore  expect  to  bear  of  other 
free-booters,  other  nsurpcrt, 
and  other  remorseless  desola^ 
tors;  and  we  must  resolve  to 
advance  as  often  as  tbey  force  ui
