GENERAL'. MINUTE. The fituation in which the Company have been placed by the death of the Nabob Vizier and by the conliquences of that event, is as fingular, as it is unprecedented in hiltory. By an extraordinary concurrence of cirenrnflances, the Compiny were compelled to be the arbiters of the difporal of a kingdom, and it was impoifible to for* a decifion on the claims to the fueceffion between the reputed fans ' of the deceafed Nabob Afaph ad Dowlab, and the lineal defeendants of his father, Shujah ud Dowlah, free from great doubt and objellion. After the nsatureß deliberation on the relative .rightiof Vizier and Saudet Ali, taking them as the reprefentatives of the two families, I gave my opinion Rot without hefitation, in favour of Vizier Ali's claim to the fueceffiun, as the prefumptive eldelt fon and heir apparent to the deceafed Nabob, on the grounds of his acknowledgment of him as his fon, cor roborated by a (cries of correfponding alts and decla rations, and by the feotence of the Mahomedan law fupporting the validity of each acknowledgment.— The acqmcfcence of the Begum, the apparent gene. ril content of the inhabitants of Lucoow, the danger of admitting reports, however notorious, in difquali fication ()tithe hereditary rights of the Princes of In dia ; the irsjuß ice of declaring, on fuels grounds, a numerous family of the deceafed Prince (potions, with other confederations, were auxiliary arguments in fupport of our decifion, nor did I think myfelf thorifed to propofe a dal of it on the informa tion of Zehfeen Ali Khaun, which, whilft it ftrongly confirmed the popular belief of the fpurious birth of Vizier Alli, did not, as it then Rood, amount to proof that he was not the fon of Afaph ud Dowlab, or pn fitively the fon of a Fraufb. I have. neverthelefs, even found it impollible to di vert myfelf of the impreffion, excited by the univer fal belief and affertion, that Vizier All is of fpurious origin ' and of the apprehen fi on fo obeiourly con netted with it, that the justice anti reputation of the Company might Infer an imputation by a decifion in his favour. The arrangements wHch I had in view when I left Calcutta have no reference, however, to an alter ation of the fucceffion ; but, under the Rated im prelTions, I conceived-it poffilole that the repugnance of the inhabitants of Oude to the title of Vizier Ali might be fuch as to force upon me the farther confe deration of it. The Miniflee met me at Cawnpore, and the in formation which I received from him, confirmed the derails in my addreft to the Vice Prefident in Council of the 4th ult. But, as our conferences embraced not only the events which had taken place, folifeq tient to the acceffion of Vizier Ali, but the ennfiderations which had occurred to me on the fucceffion, I (hall 6rll conneitedly Rate the fubilance of his communi cations on this Lift point, of my own enquiries in confequeoce, and the refult of them. The Minister informed me, without referee, that there was but one opinion on this fohjed, viz. that Vizier Ali, and all his reputed brethren. were, with. out any exception, fpuriout ; that ne i t h er Vizier Al. -y ot she Inns of the deceafed Nabob, in the eflimation, had a lhadow of right to the file 1. and that the tide of Saudet Ali, by the rule• lice, was indifputable ; that it was no lefs tree ar sue period of the elevation of Vizier Ali, nss lion was made to it, but form afterwards man) e principal people at Lucnow expreffed then i p m . ent an d a i l appointment at his elevation ; .be korner hlinifler, linfrein Khaun, had, b.!! u n relf and the re fident. declared his opinion, tha d e tif i ,,, l in favour of Vine? A'i had beers hall) mconilderate ; that at ;lazy t tea. *cold be dif poled to declare their real fentiments, in oppolition to the acknowledgment of Vizier Ali's title by the Eng- Govetnoteot, and to the inclination of the elder Begßegun, who was clofely united with him. That Vizier Ali had. moreover. gained many partifans, particularly among the foldiery, by his profufe libe- rality to them, and by the expetlation held out to them of future benefits of the fame nature ; and that many others had been attached to him by the influ ence and foppott of the Begum ; but that thefe cir cumflances had not changed the public fentiments upon the jußice of Saudet Ali's claim to the Muf nud, however it might now be concealed. That with refpea to the (hare which he had in placing Vi zier Ali on the Mufnud, it was diltated by circuits. Rances of emergency, which precluded • poßibility of a reference to Calcutta by the prefumptive title of Vizier Ali, as heir apparent and !Idea fun of the deceafed fovereign, by the general fentiments of the people then prefent, including Europeans as well as natives, and above all by the deeilion of the Begun in favour of the reputed Inns of Afoph ud Dowlah. intlead of thole of Shojah trd Dowlah, whom (he pointedly rejeCted. He did not pretend to alien, that Saudet Ali had any partizans, and he knew that en mity had long fublifted between him and the Be gum ; that Saudet Ali, in fat', was extremely un popular wish all defcriptions of people, particularly from his known parfimony. This information, as far as it regards the univerfal opinion of the fputions birth of Vizier Ali, and that he had no right to the Mufnud, was confirmed in nsoß unqualified tends by a mass, known by the name of Bevrra Mirza, who was formerly Daroga of the Dora Khaunch, under the Nabob Shujah ud Dowlah, and of a refpettable fa mily and &trader. The impreffion made by this communication, of the truth of which it was impo(Lble to doubt, was ill calculated to fatisfy my conviaion of the juftice of our decifion in favour of Vizier Ali. It (hewed that the fentiments of the inhabitants at Lucnow, who had expreffed their fatisfattion at the elevation of Vi zier Ali to the Mufnud, were, upon refleßion, very different from thofe which they had .avowed in the prefure of a moment of furprize and emergency i and the determination which I formed upon the corn • municstion of the Minifler, was to profecote inquiry as far as I could. without exciting fufpicinn ; u well regarding the birth of Vizier Ali and his reputed brethren, as with refperlt to the general fentiments of his right to the Mu(nud, fubfequent to his acceffion. In the determination 7 availed rnyfelfof every qp portunity which occurred during the courfe of a pro trafted jouroer, as well as after my arrival at Luc now, and the information which I hah been enabled to procure, maybe reduced to the following fammarys inn PALINTAGIOT TIZIIIR Lit, AND THAT OT INH AtPUTID SOH/ Or MOTH OD DOWLAK. The only pofitive information which I have on thee points, was colletted from Zehfeen Ali if and is contained in die three papers referred to in the' margin—(No. 1, 2 and 3; it is to be obfer*ed that they have a reference to fume prior and intetttredi ate verbal communications. The &ft contains an account of the children of Rehmut, the mothet Vizier Ali. The fecond. tome queßions, with et placatory anfwers, of Zehfeen Ali Khaun. The third, a hißory of the other furviving children of the &neared Nabob. From thefe and other communications ' the fallow ing circonstlances are ellablillied—that the mother 'sf - Vizier Ali was a Fraythnee, wife of a Frattal now living, her name was Rehmut, sad the exercik4 the employment of a Fraufbnee, the towel' occupation of a menial fervent in Zehfeen's houfe, where females 'perchafed by the Nabob occafionally remained, until the increafe of their numbers made their removal into the Zenana neeetrary. Rehmut dually accompanied them there. Her monthly wages were row rupees; The was not confined to the Zenana, but quitted it , daily, which is the cuttom of all others of therein* defcriptioo, and went to her hulband's houfe. clot was never admitted into the Zenana in any other es pacity, nor confidered in any other light, during the courfe of her ferv ice—the had three children, the Cult a fon, who died. The Nabob took him from his mother, paying five hundred rupees for him, and gave him the name of Mahomed Antler. The ad was alfo a fon, and is now a Frauth in the depart. ment of Zehfeen Ali Khaun. The 3d was Vifier Ali. She had afterwards a daughter, born in her own houfe, and may fence have had force other children. After the birth of Mahomed Ameer, Rebmut wast difcharged for Tome neglat of duty, but again par doned, and re-admitted into fervice. During the in terval of her difmilEon, which may have been two, three, or four years, the fecond fon was born. Ma homed Ameen and Vizier Ali were both bort_ in the houfe of Zehfeen Ali Khann. The mother, Rehmut, was not carried to his houfe to be delivered by the orders of the Nabob, he was not even acquainted with her pregnancy, previous to the birth of Vizier Ali—Zehfeen informed him of it, and the Nabob faid. • I will take the child, if the will let me have it for Soo rupees.' Rehmut content ed, with a remark, that the came to lie in at his honk, that the Nabob might be induced to take the child as his own,' in the expeßation of receiving the fame (urn, which was paid to her for Mahomed Ameen. The Nabob accordingly ordered Zehfeen to pay her Soo rupees, and difmifs her, with direc tions never to fend for her more, or allow her to come to hi: hook again. Zehfeen's houfe adjoins to the Zenana, but is open to all the world. When the Nabob's women were kept there, they lodged in the upper apartments, which were quite private. Rehmut was never admit ted into them, but as a fervent. Vizier Ali was born on the isth RubbuWance, 1197 Hejera, (about the middle of December, 5782) in a room below (lairs, open to public accefs. • Zehfeen further declares, that the women of the Zenanah tiled to advife the Nabob to take children' and bring them up, as he had none of his own. He allows, that the Nabob ever acknowledged Vizier Ali as his own fon ; but when he was angry with him. he ufed to allude to the 'owners of hi. origin, and on thefe occalions, has (aid, in the pretence of hundr eds, that he was not his (on. The particulars, thas detailed, are cone :led from inquiries put to Zehfeen, at different times, and in a mode which I thought calculated to extra& the truth. He underwent frequent examinations, both front the Refident and myfelf. The two Papers, No. t, and]. tranfiated, were (worn to by Zehfeen, in my prefeneei And that of the Perfian traullator. The detail in No. 3, which does not ;delude Viaier Ali. applied to fifteen children of " Nabob, thirteen an of the NAL.... - of whom were born in the Zenana, of women put• chafed and brought into it in a (late of pregnancy, and tWo were born oat of the Zenana, and introduced into it when infant's ; it is as follows : (No 3 ) —Particulars communicated to the Refident by Zehfeen Aly Kbaun, refueling the fns of the late Nabob Vizier ud Dowlab, now alive, and Mims Visite Ali, and Shed Ali es • pined, whole hlltory, as far u it can be known, barn already been detailed to the Governor Genera 1.

He was born in the Zenana ; his mother having been purchafed by the Nabob about five months prior to his birth: She I is Rill in the Zenana. but the father is not known. ;3. There is alfo a fecond Hoffein Ali Khaun, aged five years, who has always been kept in the Zeoana, to the northward of the Goomtee, formerly under the charge of Eouzdar Rhaun. This boy was born in that Zenana, and the mother is (till alive. Zehfeen fags, that his mother was purchafed by the Nabob when pregnant, but he knows not the exalt time, as he had nothing to do with thofe apartments previous to Jaoo. Loll's departure for Benares. His father is unknown. This boy was contraded, in January 10, to a daughter of Sherf Ali Khaun. The marriage has not taken place. Zehfeen Ali Khaun Rates, that none of the eunnchs in the fervice of the late Nabob, himfelf excepted, can fpeak from perfonal knowledge to the above eir cumllances, but that they are known to Jaoo Loll, and a man named Golaum Hoffein, both of whom were in the habits of purchafing women fur his Ex cellency. Golaum Hoffein was turned out of the Nabob's fervice for theft, and had his rink cut off, when the Nabob went to Bhotoar about the month of May. 5796. Zehfeen alTerts, that the late Nabob Afoph ud Dowlah was, in reality, father of one fon, named Bhouhaun Ali Khaun, who died at the age of two years and (even months; about tight or nine years ago. This boy's mother is alive ; her name is Punna Bye and Khulattb Atzirtandee. She was in the Zenana from the time of the Nabob Shtijah ud Dowlah, and never was permitted to fee any other man, except the late Vizier. She is a Dumence, or Nautch woman. He alfo afferts, that Afoph ud Dowlah had another fon, who died when only fifteen days old, when Colonel Harnage commanded at Goruckpoor. The child's mother is alfo dead. She was purchafed at Delhi, by a man named Mackin rum, in Major Polier's Dcwan, and to her care the efent Nabob Vizier Ali was intrufted, immediately alter his birth. The Nabob erected a tomb to her memory, at Mehai Dewa Bung, five colt from Fy zabad, on the oppofite fide of the Gogra. Her death happened eight or nine years ago ; her name was'. tin Kill's Khaunum. As it occurs to my recollection that another fan of the deeeafed Nabob, and apparently older than Vizier Ali, had been publicly introduced by him as his Con, I called upon the Refident for' the portico. lars, whith r with fome information on the fu ls .j ed are detailed in No. 4. I afterward s atcertained the ac tual age of this boy to be between fixtecn and Riess• teen, end younger than Vizier Ali. This is the pity pongee information I have been' able to called retpeding the reputed children of A- loan ud Dowlah. The following particulars will prove the fentiments of many of the principal inhabitant' at Lucnow on his elevation : Hulitin Reza Khaun obferved to the Retidenr, Coon after the acceffion of Vizier Ali, that this portant bufinefs had been hatlily an& inconfideratclv fettled ; to me he mentioned the prevailing &port. to the prejudice of Vizier Ali's birt h, with'ltilr own concurrence in the truth of them. He alto infotnitcl an, as a corroborative circumUance of the genera. opinion on this fubjed, that the marriage of the fe. cond lon Reza Ali with the daughter of Mims jitney was compulfive on the latter, who had at the time confulted him, •and cap died his determination rather to put as end to his exigence, than to fubmit to the difgrace of Inch a connedion ; that his repug trance was folcly over-ruled by hie advice; and that fume the death of the Nabob. Mires jongly had taken back his daughter with a determination to difolve the connection. This account was afterwards confirmed by tl;e Nabob Isnanuddeed brother of the younger Begun), widow of the deceafed Nabob, who (poke of the con. dud of Hufrein Reza on this oceafion in terms of it. proach. The fad is notorious : in one amongß many converfations which I had with the latter, after my arrival at Luenow, the courte of it led to the follow. ing oblerrations on my part, that I feared we had expofed ourfelree to Imputation by what had paired; his reply was, you hate not; bur the Bho Begum bats; the Made the decifion in a hefty moment, when her faculties were overpowered. Zehfeen Ak IXhaun informed me, that the younger Begum was refuted to fee any of the font of the late Nabob, and particularly Vizier Ali, when the late Nabob 'jibed to introduce him to her on the occa. lion of his late nuptials. The propofition was carried by Zehfeen himfelf, and the Begelm declined it, with• a civil anfwer to the Nabob, but with a remark to Zehfeen, that the would not difgrace the dignity of her family, by admitting Vizier Ali into her pretence. The truth of this information was verified by the teguin's brother, and without his esplonation might have been imputed to the general ufage of Hindoaan, which does not permit the wives of Princes to feeother children of their hufbands by different women. The Begum hertelf, in a letter to the Minilter, received before my arrival at Lucnow, had %did an etprefron that the fucceffion to the Mufnud had taken place without inquiry or confuleration. I afked her brother, the Nabob Imarnuddeen, the meaning of it. kee then made the following communication, in his own and fitter's name :—That Vizier Ali, and all the children of the deceated Nabob, were undoubtedly fpurious, and that the elevation of Vizier Ali, who& father was a Fred's, was a grafi injiitlice to the tons of Shojah ud Dowlah; that if the Nabob had actually had a child of his own, the Begun, his filler, would not have befitated to take care of it ; but that they were all bare born, which the elder Berm, as well as his filler, knew, and had often mentioned. This was alto fined by Zehfeen, who, with Almas, and the Nabob Imarnuddeen, confirmed what has been repeated by many, that the late Nabob had often himfelf caned Vizier All bate born. Almas was abfent from Locitow at the elevation of Vizier Ali ; upon his attire' he expreired bimfelf without referee., that he had no sick to the Mufnud, and openly abufed the confidential fervants of the Degam, for not prereatiog it. This was reported to the Minifler by others, and tubfequently admitted by Almasbimfelf. The behaviour of the Eons of Shitjah ud Dowlah is a confirmation slum popular belief, and of its ins. preffion. They formally refuted to attend the Nabob-, or thew him any Marks of external refped ; a conduct which would never have been ventured or tolerated, but under the aigrette' imprellion that his birth was fpurious. For the popular opinions on this fuhjed, as aired ing the right of the tons of Shujah ud Dowlah, and the juitice and reputation of the Cr•mpany, in acknow ledging Vizier Ali, I refer to the featimen.rs collated from the following perfons Meer Abdil Comm, nephew of Water ad Dow lah, formerly Miniffer Mahomed jolaubl Khawn, Vakeel of the Prince Mirza Hajee, who reticles at Benares, and was corn. mi(lioned by his mailer to carry a Chelaut to tiger Ali Khawn, who has refided for tome months at Lucnow for the recovery of his health : &frontier Pundit, reprefentative of the Berar Ra jah : - Mahabut Khawn, fon of the late Hafez Rhemot, refpeCtatle for charaCter and condue. Their opinions will alto be found to corroborate the information of the Minitter on this, as well as many other points. Before I prrceed to the inferences fugge Red by the preceding information, I think it proper to make tome remarks on the charatters, competency, and evidence of the witneffes to whom I have appealed ; and as Co much depends upon the evidence of Zehfeen Ali Khaun, the credibility due to it mull be weighed with the utmost attention. It is liable td two oblations : Fiat, that hav7ng been latterly ill treated by the Nabob, his evidence may be perfumed to be dilated by refentment. Secondly, That it has variations, which, if they cannot be reconciled nr explained, fuhleet his evidence to a fufpicion of falfehood or inaccuracy. On the fiat point it is to be obferved, that the ac count which Zehfeen originally gave to the Refident and Minitter, of the birth of Vizier Ali, was previ. ons to any difagreement between him and the Nabob, at a period when he xas in favour with him, and when they were not without fufpicinn that Zchicen was fecretly in his intereft, from his daily cnmm,u,i• cations with his father•in-law, Sheet Ali, and that the account which he then delivered, tended *tangly to confii at the popular belief, that Vizier AN was not the fon of the Nabob, although it did not amount to proof that he was paitively the fon of his reputed father, a reaaa.—(is ,cati‘ d ) nor 4f. .1. pnbli e I ffin of julli th.t xt c:.the ‘e t ain Clor , ia ;.1,,1 the 1 , .
