IT is a great blaming to have in India a Vice roy who not only commands confidence by his qualities, but has that experience of the native races and their ways which is our beet security against needless frontier wars. There are sufficient reasons just now foe some anxiety about our rela tions with three or four of our neighbours in or beyond the mountains ; but there is so universal a reliance on the knowledge, temper, and judgment of the VICEROY, that everybody, except a few habitual alarmists, is satisfied that no hostilities will be advised or undertaken by the Government which are not absolutely required by the honour of our rule, or the welfare of the people of India. If the Bhootan quarrel is to be prosecuted in so serious a way as by a military expedition, we may feel assured that there is now no escape from the necessity, as Sir J. LAWEINC6 is quite as re luctant as anybody else can be to engage in an adventure so disagreeable, so dangerous to valuable lives, and so little satisfactory, even in case of the best result. Whether the necessity might have been avoided by more foresight and better wisdom at an earlier time is another question, and one which there is no use in discussing now. On the 12th of November the VICEROY issued a proclamation announcing the military expedi tion against Bhootan, and explaining the causes of it. The immediate object of the proclamation was to prepare the chiefs, landholders, and peasants in the region to be traversed for understanding and doing their duty. That duty is simply to keep quiet in their homes and at their business, aiding the troops if requested to do so, and fearing no harm. It is not only upon our tea Ousts:ices that the Bhootess have made hostile descents from time to time for years past. The rulers of Sik kim and Coosh Behar have had to complain of similar aggressions ; the possessors of property have been robbed, and the ryota have been in constant danger of being carried off into slavery. The final outbreak has occurred on the subject of those poor captives and that booty. " The British Government," says the proclama tion, "has frequently received vague assurances " and promises for the future ; but no property " has ever been restored, no captive liberated, "no offender punished ; and the outrages mud " need." The way in which the British Envoy was treated last year has brought on the final de . • •• Our settlements in Assam must be rendered safe from attack by these kill barbarians, who think they have snubbed the British power, and may continue their incursions. The districts belonging to the Bhootess in Bengal are therefore declared to be annexed to Bengal ; and so much of the hill region as is necessary to protect the plains and the Darjeeling district Three forts, guarding the passes from Bhootan, are included in the annexed territory. When the Bhoo tess have been dealt with there will be a survey of the frontier lands, and determination of the new boundary. This kind of work, which we are for ever hoping we have done with, is always turning up again ; and nobody can feel more dis gust at it than the present VICIROT, who is regarded with more deference by the hill tribes than, per haps, any of his predecessors. In the proclamation be expresses the reluctance be feels ; and there is ground for much reluctance on account of all the parties concerned. The dangers to ourselves arise from three sources. Any demonstration against Bhootan is likely to rouse the hill tribes all along our north-eastern frontier, and bring on a repetition of the miserable warfare in the swampy region in which the soil and the waters are the allies of the enemy. On the precarious chance of those tribes remaining quiet depends, probably, the behaviour of the new subjects of our empire—the inhabitants of the Bengal Dooars and of the Hills whom the VICYROT addresses in the proclamation before us. Next, there is the fearful climate of those foreat•grown plains through which our troops are now passing. It appeals that Brigadier-General MULCASTNR, Colonel RICHARDSON, and other offi cers are already suffering from the fever of the district. Under such a liability our forces must depend largely on the goodwill of the inhabitants of the region, who can either assist or injure them to a very serious extent. Again, when the fever districts are passed there is the foe, planted behind his natural defences of rock; glaciers, and snowdrifts. Rumours about the condition of the Bhooteas differ widely. Some alsrasiet: hay, that the Nepaul MAHARAJAH has tarnished trt spinet us, and that the Bhootan faeces are worthier enemy than the Government has sup posed ; while very recent and more probable re ports state that there are such quarrels among the Weis and factions in Bhootan as will make Se offenders an easy prey. Some are for propitiating, and others for defying the British. On the whole, the only thing we can be certain of is that the enterprise must go on whether the cost be heavy or light, till Bhootan is rendered a harmlems neighbour, and en example to ell other hill people on our frontier of the fool-hardiness of rousing by annoyance the retributive energies of a powerful and quiet neighbour. We are in for this one other little war ; and it must be made to pre clude, as far as possible, future disturbance to the peace and profitable industry of the important settlements below that far-stretching frontier.
