S. It 8 now expedient to decide the course to be pursued' with respect to Jerrunt Rao Hellcat. 4. t , great distance of the Honourable Major General Wellesley's position front the Cam's of Jcswunt Rao Milker, must render the intercourse difficult from that quarter; and as your Excellency's situation is more likely to be consenient `for that purpose, it is my intention that your Excellency should immediately (yen a negotiation with Jeswunt Ranlifolkar. A copy of this disp..teii will he immediately transniitted to the Hui. Mtjor-Getteral Wellesley, with a view to enab:e that ,)dicer to promote the objects of theic instructions, if enema ounces should Ming the army of Major-General Wellesley within a convenient distance ofJicwunt Rao Helices camp 6. The authority exercised by Jeiwunt Rao Holkar, in the name of Kundee Rau, over the pessessimis of the Holkar fa• is manifestly an usurpation of the rights of Cashee Rau Holkar, the leg.uinate heir and successor of Serkojee Holkar. Consistently, therefore, with the prioci,iles of justice, no ar• rangemeht can be prorused between the British Grivernment and Jcswitnt Rau Ho'icar, inynying a sanaion of Cashee Rau Holkar from his hereditary dominions. 7. tinder the sanaiun of Ha I highness the Peshwa's autho rity, the British Government would be justified in adopting measures for the limitation of Jeswtint Rio Holkar's power, end for the restoration of Cashee Rao Holkaes rights, either by force Or compromise ; and the spirit of our engagement with His Highness the Peshwa might be considered to impose ott the Bi lush Government an eh'igation ti comply with a requi• sition on the part of His II ighoess .hr that purpose. Undco the public proteetion of the British Government, the Peshwe may pot uO he anxious for the reduction Holkar's power, is; lit the restarstinn of Cashee Rao Holkar to his hereditary rights; but it may be semiarid that His Hag:moss would readily couleur in a proposition fur the restoration of Cashee Rao, and for the punishment of Jeswunt Ran Holkar. 8. Although the British Goverainent is precluded, by con siderations of justice, from the adoption of any arrangement with Jesw mit Ran Holkar, involving a formal confirmation of his usurped authority, or that of Eunice Ran, over the possession of the Holkar family, we are not required with the express solicitation of the Peslawa to employ nur influence or arils fur the restoration of Cashee Rau floikar to his heredi tary dominions, 9 The British Government, therefore, may be considered to he at liberty to adopt either of the alternatives stated in the following propositions: hat. To restore to Cashee Rao Holkar the possession of his hereditary rights, securing at the same tune a provsion for Jes wont Ran Holkar, and for Koehler* Rau; this proposition would necewarity involve the reduaiout of Jeswunt Rau Holkar's power either by raver or by curuppeuise. 2d_ To consid-r Jetwoot Ran Holkar as a power absolutely ' , natal., and to limit our prorewitrags with respect to him, to the protection of nur territories, and of our allies, against his encroachments and exactions. • - - Ht. The enterprising spirit, m;htary character, aio ambiti. ous views halfwit Ran Holkar, render the redoetloh of his power a desirahk object with reference to the complete esta blishment .1* traequillity in India. The restoration of Cashee Rao 14-Ikar to his IterNlitary tight., by the aid and und..r th.r protection of the Erdnilt Power, would be highly cre ditable to the justice and honour of the Rriti,ls Government, aid alvantsgeous to its interest.; it 'night be expected that Cashee Ran would readily auguimee in any arrangement winch might be iteensed adri.able, fir the emerite of our intcr.st., as the condition of his restoration. Indebted to our power L.r the recovery of his right., and depeioline on our support for :their preservation, his idter•sts would he pen:alimony consoli dated with that of the British ()overlain:At, has restoration mould obtain the concurrence and applau.e of every State in India, and would afford to the Peshwa an additional proof of rior sincere dispootion to respect the right. ~f thy Martutra feitslatories, and to 4141 the o'allstions , su e public faith. 11.

An inune.liate attempt thweekss to restore Caliber Rae THE B JUTISH: PJ&ES I UNDON, TUESDAY, FBI 26. By very recent accounts from Gibraltar, we are happy to lesrn that the disease, which had raged there with so much violence, has nearly, if not to tally, subsided t and it is confidently hoped that the decisive and judicious measures direasd by the Go vernor will prevent a recurrence of the pestilence. Greater precautions will, in future, be taken for the interior economy and cleanliness of the inhabitants, than have heratoraro been tit - night ne:essary. There can ►e no doubt that the late dread! al ravages were chiefly owing to the want of attention in this parti cular. We do not mention this circurn,tance with a •iew to cast the slightest refleCtion on any former Governer of that important fortress., many of whom, and in particular cot, of illustrious rank, I have manifested the greater 7.? 11 in the it,troluslion of the most beneficial regulations. It is to be rear :r.. bered, that Gibraltar has hitherto been considered a peculiarly healthy port, nor could it, from forme r experience, have been expelled to suffer in the way it has now d rite; for, during all former eavages o f pestilential diseases in. Spain, and on the cciang Barbary, this g.trrison has escaped. If it has now suffered in an extraordinary degree, we are pi p to look for the caures rather in the crowded share tions, and i:nperte6t accommodations for the nume rous adventurers whom British commerce Must draw together there, than to anyotber circumstaoce. The population of Gibraltar consisks of a rniy.!are of Jews, Christians, M usselnien, and Pagans, diff::ir,7l in manners, in prejudices, and in habits of life. The: constituted, it is not surprising that a contagion that a ease should rage violently ; perhaps we have In.n e • cause to be grateful that so many should have berg) spared.—We believe that the mortahry has b: a about one-fifth, or perhaps a fourth of the while population. The following is a corrreit statm which we are the more anxious to lay before the public, as several very erroneous accounts have boar given. DEATHS TO 31sr rircEnnElt, 1304.

It will b;necessary however to regulate our proceedines with respect to Jeswiant Rao Holka: in such a manner, as t., avoid ativ acknowledgment or confirmation of the legitimacy of his domi .ion,or of that of Kundee Rao Holkar. . .... _ . 24. The considerations, detailed in the preceding part of this dispatch, have deteritined me net to make any immediate attempt to restore Cashes Ran Holkar to the possession of his hereditary dominions, and I am also disposed to leave Jeswunt Rao Milker in the exercise of his present authority, without any further interposition of the British power that' that which may be required for the security of the chiefs arid states is Hindustan with whom we hare contracted def. lithos alli ances; those chiefs and states must be portect,l by arms against any exactions en the part of Jeswunt Rao Milker, (omitted in the pretended claims of the Holkar family : we are pledged by the spirit of our engagements to secure those allies against such exactions. 25. My sentiments on the subject of Jeswunt Rao Hot. km's supposed claims upon those chiefs and states are detailed in the dispatch from the Governer-general in molted to your Excellency, under date the 13th instant : a coay of that dispatch has been transmitted to the Haoourablc Major General Wellesley. 26. It may be expected that Jeswunt Rao Holkar will se qiriesce in this moderate !Imposition on the part or the British Government. His refusal will preclude all expectation of his concuirence in any other arrangement, consistent with the olsligatiode of justice and of public faith, and will require a reduction of his power by force. 27. For the aecomplishiuent of the prnpesed arrangement, it will merely be necessary that your Excellency ahoual signify' to Jeswunt Rao Hal kar, either by letter or through the charts omit of Vak.'els, whom he may be invited to dispatch either to your Excellency's camp, or to that the I Inn o u. able Ntkifir General Wellesley, as mar be most convenient for the pur pose of negnciation, that the British Government ertertains the liven amicable dispeedtion toward. him, and harbours nn intention of prosecutii g hostilities against him, midst com pelled to that extremity by acts of aggressiun on his part against the British Government er any of its allies.
