Extradt of a Letter from Sir G. H. Barlow to the Secret Coruna het, dated on the River,sth Fabroary,iBo6. I have great fatisfaftion in oommunicating to your Honourable Committee the important intekligence of the conclufion of peace with Jufwunt Row Holkar, upon terms which arc highly honourable and advan tageous to the Britifh Governmenj. and which are calculated to fecure permanent eanquillity to the Btitifb power in India. In my difpatch to your Honourable Committee of the atlit of December, I had the honour to tranfmit a copy of my inflrutlions to the Right • Honourable Lord Lake, for the regulation of his condo& in con cluding a pacification with Jefwunt Row Holkar.— The treaty now concluded with that Chieftain has been founded upon thole infiruaions, and correfponds With the fpirit of them. I have the honour to tranfmit, inch red, a copy of , the Right Hon. Lord Laca's difpatch of the 7th ult. containing a copy of the treaty. With the exception of the fecund article. the pro 'Mons of which I have judged it proper to annul by a declaratory article annexed to the ratified copy of the treaty. your Honourable Committee will oblerve that the fiipulations of the treaty involve no engage. ments of a nature calculated to prove the feurce of future difagreement between the Britifh Government and Holkar, and the probability of the continuance ,of Holkar's pacific difpofition, and of his adherence to the faith of his engagements, may be confidered to be proportionably augmented. I beg leave to offer to your Honourable Commit. tee my cordial congratulations on the conclufion of this honourable and advantageous peace with Jet - - wunt Row Holkar. which, combined with the pre ceding adjuliment of all our differences with Dow. )ut Row Scindiah, and with the arrangements now progrefs for the complete feitlement of all our ex ternal relations, promifes a durable period of tran quillity and profperity to the Honourable Company's poffetlions. I difcharge a fatisfaaory part of my public duty lot expreffing to your Hoot-unable Committee the-high fenfe which I entertain of thoft able and diflinguillt. ed exertions on the part of the Right Honourable Lord Latta, by which the peace has been accomplilh. ed. and which, I trun, will appear to your Honour. able Committee to efiablifh his Lordfhip's claim to the higheff approbation and applaufe. I confider it to be a duty alfo to exptefs my fettle elf the zeal and ability manifeacd by Lieutenant Co lonel Ma /cot st in the condua of the negociations for the conclufirm of peace, which was cottoned to him by the authority of Lord LAKE. The merits and fer• vices of that valuable officer are already well known to your Honourable Committee ; but 1 troll that his exertions on this occafion will appear to your Ho nourable Committee to have augmented his claims to public approbation.

" Gentlemen, this is the fir& day of the real independence at the United Provinces. A tr./nit-tit glance at pail ages is fufficien t to convince us, tbat they never had a ila'sle Government, a fired deftiny, a real independence. Under that famous people, whom they fought and raved by turns, as under the Franks and the Em pire of the Weft, they were neither (rye nor tramp". Neither were they ft afterwards, when fuhje Red to Spate. Their vars . and their repeated quarrels until the Union, added to the glory oy the nation, confirmed its qualities in point of franknefs, intrepidity and honour, for which, Indeed, it had beet always celebrated a but its efforts procured it neither tranquillity nor independence • even under the Prior-not Orange, who, though they were leant to their country, as (tidier. and hotelmen, were always dilturbing it, by pretending, dr endeavouring to obtain a power which the nation denied them. Nor could Holland be confidered in that Rate in later times, when the elevation of ideas, and the genera ; agitation of Furope, fo long Depended the repofe of nations. After fo many vicilLtudes, fo assets agitation, fo many calamities; and at the time when the great hates were enlarging themfelves. am liorating and concentrating their Governments and their forcer. this country could enjoy no real (atm nor Independence but in a I moderate monarchical hate; a form whieblad been acknowledged during a long period, and by each nation in its turn, as the moil perfed, and, if not abfolutely fo, yet as much to as the nature of man will admit. But, doubilcfs, a perfection were the lot of hu manity, we might then difpenfe with a Government of this kind.... Laws would then be founded in wltdom, and obeyed without re.. illalOCC or °Dilute ; virtue would reign' triumphant, and tofu° its own reward; vice would be banilbed, and wiekednefe rendered impotent ; but Malone which favour fuch romantic Ideas of hu man nature see trotifient ; and experience loon brings us back to politive fade. However, even monarchy la not fullicient for Gauntry which, Omagh powerful and important, Is not fuffacightly fo for its polizimt, which requires forces of the lira rank built by land and Ira. It will, therefore, be neeeffary for it to form a on nedion with one of the great Powers of Europe, with which 14 amity may be eternally awed without any alteration of its iw dependence. This, Gentlemen, is what your nation has done ; this is the objea of its coaftitutional laws, and alto that of my taking spots me an employment f,s glorious; this is my °Meet in placing my. . . . . Pelf in the midit of a people who are, and ever (ball be :nine, by my tffedlion and my folicinde.
