Extract of a letter from the Court of Directors to the Governor-general, in the revenue department, dated the 14th of September, 1803. Paragraphs 28 and 29, relative to the settlement of the Ceded districts in Oude. Letter from, dated the 30th of September, 1802. Para. 28. We have perused the report referred to in this paragraph,* and have great satisfaction in observing, that the jumma of the territories ceded by his excellency the nabob, under the treaty of the 10th of November, 1801, amounted, on account of the year 1209 fusilee, to rupees 1,56,48,000, being rupees 21,48,000 more than the estimated value of those territories, as stated in the treaty. We likewise observe, that reasonable expectations are entertained of the progressive improvement of those recent acquisitions; we there fore approve of the suggestion contained in the governor-general's letter of the 13th of March, 1802, that no settlement of those revenues be made beyond the term of five years, until more accurate information can be obtained with respect to the actual resources of the country. We received great pleasure from the information in Mr. Welles ley's letter, of the 23d of March, 1802, that the utmost tranquillity prevailed throughout the ceded provinces, and that the change in the government appears to have given general satisfac tion. Para. 29. By the 8th article of the treaty, it is stipulated, that a separate commercial treaty shall be framed, with a view of establishing such commercial intercourse between the company's dominions, and those of his highness the nabob vizier, as shall be mutually be neficial to the subjects of both states. We direct that you acquaint us whether any progress has been made towards the accomplishment of this desirable object. Copy of a letter from the Governor general in council, dated the 28th of March, 1805, to the Court of Directors, relative to the friendly conduct of the Nabob of Oude, du ring the late Mahratta war, and re Honourable Sirs, Since the conclusion of the treaty of 1801, between the honourable company, and his highness the nawaub vizier, by which the subsidy, payable by the government of Oude, was commuted for territory, the conduct of his highness has been uniformly distinguished by the most satisfactory indications of his attachment to the British government, and by the strictest adherence to the obligations of the alliance. Previously to the commencement of the war with the confederated Mahratta chieftains, the vizier, at the request of the British government, furnished supplies of elephants and bullocks for the use of the army in the field; and his highness voluntarily offered to provide a sufficient number of horses to mount his majesty's 8th regiceeding to join the army. ment of dragoons, which was then proSince the commencement of the disturbance ex- August, 1804, his highness being ap * (30) Settlement of the Jumma of the Ceded districts in Oude. anne annex to this dispatch copies of the documents noted in the margin.* 2. In the month of December the vizier voluntarily tendered a further sum of five lacks of rupees on loan, without interest, for the term of six months; and the vizier has lately furnished an additional supply of money to the same extent. 3. Your honourable court will derive the highest satisfaction at these instances of his highness the vizier's solicitude, for the prosperity of the honourable company; and the governor-general in council fulfils a satisfactory part of his duty in stating to your honourable court these demonstrations of the just sense the vizier entertains of the benefits which his highness derives from his alliance with the British power, and of the confidence which he reposes in its stability and justice. 4. The governor-general in council submits to the consideration of your honourable court, the expediency of testifying the sense entertained by your honourable court of his highness's conduct, and of the proofs which he has lately afforded of his sincere attachment to the British government, by a letter from your honourable court to his excellency's address; such a testimony of the honourable company's approbation would gratify the vizier's mind in the highest degree. We have the honour to be, Fort William, March 28, 1805. *No. 2, from resident at Lucknow, dated 17th April, 1804. Letter from the governor-general to the nawaub vizier, dated 7th September. Dispatch from resident at Lucknow to the Secretary, dated 19th September. Reply of the nawaub vizier to the governor-general's letter. Letter from the governor-general to the nawaub vizier, dated 19th Nov. 1804. Reply of the nawaub vizier to the governor-general's letter. Lord Folkestone gave notice of his intention to move, on that day fortnight, for the re-printing of certain papers, which had been printed last session, relative to the Oude charge exhibited against Marquis Wellesley. Lord Howick expressed a wish to know from the noble lord, with what view he proposed to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice, and what was the nature of the measure he meant to found upon the papers to which his notice referred? Lord Folkestone replied, that his motion would refer to the re-printing of the several papers connected with the Oude charge; namely, numbers 3, 4, and 5. With respect to any subsequent proceeding, he believed that none was likely to be taken for some time. The house was aware that the honourable gentleman (Mr. Paull) with whom this business originated was now a petitioner, and until that petition was decided, it was not VOL. 9. intended to ground any measure upon the papers to which this notice related. But yet, to prevent any delay hereafter, it was thought expedient that documents should be fully before the house, in order that, if the hon. gent. already alluded to should be in a situation to prosecute this important inquiry, he might be enabled to proceed at once, unimpeded by the procrastination which the printing of papers upon this subject had so often produced in the course of the last parliament; and in order also that if Mr. Paull should not be in a situation to follow up this business, he himself, (Lord Folkestone) or some more competent person, might be furnished with the means of proceeding upon it. The noble lord concluded with expressing a belief that he had fully replied to the enquiry of the noble secretary of state, and expressed a readiness to afford any further information in his power upon the subject. Lord Howick apprehended that the reason stated by the noble lord could not be considered a sufficient parliamentary ground for the proposition he professed to have in view. § A It |
