the battalion arrived from Allahabad, and of two battalions arrived from Hyderabad, were allowed to be placed to the debit of the sircar.-Now that you write to have the charges of other new troops, which you wish to introduce, added to the debit of the state, when the reduction of the military has not yet supplied resources for the payment of the charges of the former new troops, how can I take upon myself to defray the charges of these new troops without subjecting the sircar to the imputation of a breach of faith?

2. When it was first proposed to disband the half of the cavalry what discontent and disappointment prevailed among the rassalahs, to a degree that induced them to proceed to violence. Now that it is proposed to disband the whole of the cavalry, only consider, when the aumils showed so much opposition to the disbandment of half the cavalry, what opposition will they not make to the reduction of the whole? Nay, they will make a plea of the want of sufficient controul, and consequent disorder, in the country, and fail in the payment of their rents.

3. Owing to the former and present reductions a large body of men will be deprived of their subsistence, and wander over the country-What will be the end and consequence of this?

4. Let assets be pointed out and fixed once for all, for the realization of what it is intended to demand, so that henceforward all cause of anxiety upon that head may be removed for ever, and no question of increase, nor any altercation upon the subject ever after arise, for these repeated altercations are productive of anxiety and vexation.

5. In the time of the late nabob Asoph ul Dowlah the amount of the kists was four lacks sixty-two thousand eight hundred and thirty three rupees, the delay and the importunity that constantly occurred in obtaining payment of that amount need not be told. In my time the increase that has been made to the kist is well known to you; you have likewise, no doubt, heard what heavy additional expences I was subjected to, exclusively of the kists, on account of donations, &c. and the augmentation of pensions and jaghires of various persons. To answer all these heavy demands upon me is very difficult; I am constantly in fear and apprehension, lest on account of the want of resources to supply all these heavy expences any delay should occur

The professions which your excellency makes of undeviating implicit attention to the recommendation of lord Wellesley I have the most perfect reliance in, because they must be founded

on

a conviction in your excellency's. mind, that they originated in, and are dictated solely by a regard for your excellency's happiness, for the improvement and prosperity of your excellency's government, and for the immediate and permanent security of your dominions against all contingencies.

3. Although when I applied to your excellency for the payment of the kist, and for the money on account of the additional troops, it had been due some days, yet, considering the punctuality which marks your excellency's payments, I should not then have troubled you had it not been for the heavy demands on the treasury in consequence of the relief of the troops. The balance on account of the Allahabad fortifications, your excellency knows, was due nine months ago: but adverting to the extraordinary expences your excellency was exposed to in the payment of the arrears due to the troops disbanding, and not having immediate occasion for the money, I suffered it to remain, and only now called for it because the exigencies of the company's government required this resource.

4. Your excellency observes, that the difficulty with which the collections are made is no secret, as well as that they are not effected without much exertion and expedients, and that on this account apprehensions are frequently excited in your excellency's breast, lest in a time
