It h been ect wonder, c stud puzzled many a brain to as explain a how this of has been roon ht about . Yet when we are a cqua i n t e d w ith a few facts aoncerning* the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a th perfect bag of bo nes ." H e tr i ed all kinds of things to get animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly f e d w ith Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are, forced t o th e conc l usion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those Who have tried it. All parties Interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a Pamphlet Which is sent post-free. NO MORE PILLS NOR ANY OTHER MEDICINE.

East India House, Oct. 5, 1858. Sir,—l am directed by Lord Stanley to forward to you for publication the accompanying despatches from the Governor-General of India.--I am, &c., GERALD C. TALBOT. FOREIGN DEPARTMENT SECRET, ALLAHABAD, June 17, 1858. TO THE HONOURABLE THE SECRET COMMITTEE OF THE HONOURABLE THE COURT OF DIRECTORS. Honourable Sirs,—l have the honour to reply to your despatch No. 1,954, of the 19th of April. That despatch condemns in •the strongest terms the proclamation which on the 3d of March I di rected the Chief Commissioner of Oude to issue from Lucknow. 2. Although written in the secret committee, the despatch was made public in England three weeks before it reached my hands. It will in a few days be read in everystation in Hindostan. 3. Before the despatch was published in England, it had been announced to Parliament by a Minister of the Crown as conveying disapproval in every sense of the policy indicated by the Governor-Ge neral's proclamation. Whether this description was an accurate one or not Ido not inquire. The tele graph has already carried it over the length and breadth of India. __ 4. I need scarcely tell your honourable committee that the existence of such a despatch, even had it never passed out of the records of the secret depart ment, would be deeply mortifying to me, however confident I might feel that your honourable com mittee would, upon re-consideration, relieve me of the censure which it casts upon me. Still less ne cessary is it for me to point out that the publica tion of the document, prectded as it has been by an authoritative declaration of its meaning and spirit, is calculated to increase the difficulties in which the government of India is placed, not only by weakening the authority of the Governor-General, but by encouraging resistance and delusiVe hopes in many classes of the population of Oude. 5. So far as the despatch, and the mode in which it has been dealt with, affect myself personally, I will trouble your honourable committee with very few words. No taunts or sarcasms, come from what quarter they may, will turn me from the path which I be lieve to be that of my public duty. I believe that a change in the head of the govern ment of India at this time, if it took place under circumstances which indicated a repudiation on the part of the government in England of the policy which has hitherto been pursued towards the rebels of Oude, would seriously retard the pacification of the country. I believe that that policy has been from the beginning merciful without weakness, and indulgent without compromise of the dignity of the government. I believe that wherever the authority of the government has been established it has be come manifest to the people, in Oude as elsewhere, that the indulgence to those who make submission and who are free from atrocious crimes will be large. I believe that the issue of the proclamation, which has been so severelycondemned wasthoroughly consistent with that policy, and that it is so viewed by thOse to whom it is addressed. I believe that that policy, if steadily pursued, offers the best and earliest prospect of restoring peace to Oude upon a stable footing. 6. Firm in these convictions, I will not in a time of unexampled difficulty, danger, and toil, lay down of my own act the high trust which I have the honour to hold ; but I will with the permission of your honourable committee state the grounds upon which those convictions rest, and describe the course of policy which I have pursued in dealing with the rebellion in Oude. If when I have done so it shall be deemed that that policy has been errone ous, or that not being erroneous, it has been feebly and ineffectually carried out, or that for any reason the confidence of those who are responsible for the administration of Indian affairs in England, should be withheld from me, I make it my respectful but urgent request, through your honourable committee, that I may be re lievei of the office of Governor-General of India with the least possible delay. 7. I desire to say, that I shall in that case resign my great charge into the hands of the hon. Court of Directors, with a deep and abiding sense of gratitude for the generous support, the unreserved confidence, and the considerate courtesy which I have at all times received from them. I have nothing more to add upon the personal part of this question. 8. But before I speak of the proclamation, I beg to call the attention of your hon. committee to cer tain paragraphs of the - despatch before me, which are pregnant with a signification far more momen tous than the censure of any recent act or policy of the Governor-General of the day. These para graphs are numbered from 10 to 14 inclusive, and I believe that I shall not misrepresent their import by describing it as follows 9. They begin by pointing out a doubt whether the British Government was justified in taking possession of the kingdom of Oude. The doubt is pointed out, but is not resolved, nor is a distinct opinion expressed upon it. 10. Certain facts are then referred to which, though they do not directly affect the question of our right to take possession of Oude, are cited as leading, in conjunction_ With the doubt above men tioned, to the conclusion that the hostilities which the people of Oude have been - carrying on against us have rather the character of legitimate war than that of rebellion, and that the people of Oude should be regarded with indulgent consideration. 11. It is altogether beyond my duty- to discuss whether the course pursued by the British Govern ment in taking possession of Oude was a lawful and justifiable one, still less does it belong to me to say what line of conduct the British Government ought to follow if it be now determined that that course was not lawful or justifiable. But as to the indul gence due to the people of Oude, your hon, com mittee will, I am sure, do me the justice to admit, that no misgiving as to the character of our deal ings with the Oude :State was necessary to induce me to declare, with ou t any injunction from yourselves,. that the talookdar and land owner of Oude - must be viewed in a wry different light from -that in whicli z ombels in our old'provinces are to be regard e d. I fOund sufficient reason for this in the facts that theallegi ance of these - men when they broke into rebellion was little more than a year old, and that they had become British-subjects by no act of their own that our rule had brought loss of property upon many of them, and upon some an unjust loss ; and that it had diminished the importance and arbi trary power of all. I considered these facts to be a palliation of rebellion even where hostility to us had been most, inveterate, and therefore I put aside altogether the punishments . of - death, transporta tion, and imprisoninent ; and whilst marking those who had rebelled with the penalty which in India, as elsewhere, has been again and again recognised as a • fitting punishment of rebels --namely, the for feiture of their rights in the soil, I promised indul gence to those who should :make prompt submis sion. I felt the considerations of policy and mercy, and the newness of our rule, prescribed this course. I recorded this in a paper already in the hands of your hon. committee ; and I hope before closing this despatch to show that the indulgence has been accorded promptly and liberally. , 12. But it.is my first duty earnestly to beg your hon. committee to consider the effect which will be produced upon the province of Oude when it shall become generally known that the British Govern ment speaks hesitatingly of its right to rule that country. I cannot but fear that it will make a tur bulent and warlike people more impatient than ever of subjection to authority and order; I fear that it will furnish a pretext for resistance to the ' government, of which many bad spirits will not be slow to avail themselves now and hereafter. 13. But more especially do I fear its immediate effect. It cannot have escaped the notice of v your hon. committee that, although - the rising against our authority in Oude has been almost general, al most universal, it has been singularly devoid of a national character. Except for the purpose of ,re ducing our garrison in Lucknow, and afterwards of holding the city against us, - there appear to have been no common cause amongst our as sailants. Since the capture of Lucknow we have had against us the party of the Begum and her son, claiming to represent the royal family of Ouide ; the party of the Moulvie, a Mahomedan fanatic ; the party of the Nazim, an adventurer without rights or property in the province ; the sepoys, who have passed from one leader to ano ther according as they have been able to extort the highest pay ; and a number of the talookdars and zemindars, some few of whom, at the head of bands of their own, have plundered and oppressed their enemies, and those whom they believed to be our friends, whilst others generally of less influence have been tempted or coerced into joining the ranks of the Begum, or the Moulvie. There is little concert or cohesion between any of these parties. Indeed between those of the Begum and the Moulvie there has been not only complete separation, but open hostility. 14. I cannot think that this want of unity will long continue, if it shall once become manifest that the British Government hesitates to declare its right to possess Oude, and that it regards itself as a wrongful intruder into the place of the dynasty, which the Begum claims to represent. I believe that this would draw to the side of the Begum many who have hitherto shown no sympathy with the late ruling family, and it is just what is want ing to give a national character to her cause. " 15. An uncompromising assertion of our autho rity in Oude is perfectly compatible with a merci ful exercise of it, and I respectfully submit that if the Government of India is not supported in making this assertion, and in declaring that the recent acts of the people of Oude are acts of rebel lion, and that they may in strict right be treated as such, a powerful temptation will be offered to them to maintain their present struggle or to renew it. 16. I now proceed to offer some remarks upon the proclamation, and I believe that the spirit in which the proclamation was conceived and has been acted upon will be best shown by the follow- ing statement. 17. When in January last, about the time at which the army of the Commander•in-Chief began to concentrate upon Lucknow, I left Calcutta for Allahabad, one of my chief motives for doing so was the obtaining fun, accurate, and recent infor mation in regard to the temper and disposition of the chiefs and people of Oude, the extent to which they felt themselves aggrieved by the Government, how far that feeling was just, the nature of the in fluences at work amongst them, and other points requiring consideration, before a decision could be taken as to the mode of dealing with the province. These were matters upon which formal references and reports would have thrown very tardy and ina dequate light, seeing the condition to which our archives and official establishments had been re duced, and therefore, in addition to the information received by Government from the usual civil and military sources, I sought information and opinions from those who, having filled posts within the pro vince and upon its frontiers, had had opportunities of becoming personally, and in some cases inti mately acquainted with the talookdars and zemin- dars, and their followers. 18. The conclusions at which I arrived were -Ist, that all question of punishing with death, or even with transportation or imprisonment, rebels who, however inveterate and unceasing their hosti lity had been, were free from the stain of murder, should be set aside. I need not at present defend this decision, although at tke time it was very far from meeting with general approval. 19. 2dly. That the one declared punishment for rebellion should be the confiscation to the state of proprietary rights in the soil. I have already said that this is a punishment which has been repeatedly enforced against rebels in India, as well by native rulers as by the British Government; it is one which admits of being easily tempered and relaxed with more or less lenity, ac cording as consideration of policy or mercy and the past or future conduct of the persons to be punished may permit. It in no way affects the honour of the most sensitive rajpoot or brahmin. It would pro vide Government with the means of rewarding in the manner which is most acceptable to the natives of India the services of those who should be found to deserve reward. It would tend to the final set tlement of many of those disputes respectinc , landed rights which has been the source of so much strife and animosity in Oude. 20. Finally, I came to the conclusion that if a proclamation were issued on the capture of Lucknow (a point upon which I entertained doubts up to the last moment) it should be one not threatening con fiscation as a possible contingency, but declaring it ; pointing out, however, the means by which re laxation and indulgence would be obtainable ; and further, that no attempt should be made to indi cate the measure of relaxation and indulgence which might be conceded in particular cases. 21. I will offer a few words in explanation of these last points. I believe that the issue of proclamations is not the surest or safest mode of influencing the natives of India. The experience of the past year has fur nished examples of the ingenuity with which the meaning of such documents can be perverted or their language misrepresented by the enemies of the State ; and it is a fact, several instances of which have come to my knowledge of late, that the word of an English officer of the Government, even though a stranger, is more trusted than a printed paper. I should, therefore, have preferred to take in Oude .a course. which was afterwards taken. in Rohilcund, and to place instructions in' the hands of the officers. attached to- the columns which marched through - the country, leaving it to them to carry out those instructions, and to explain, in each dis trict through whi c h they passed, the spirit in which the - Government desired to deal w ith th e people. But I knew it to be very probable that no columns would be available for the purpose in Oude, and that in that case -much time might elapse . before English offiCers w ou ld b e a bl e to penetrate the pro vince. I therefore had recoarse to a proclamation, which might be disseminated by native agency. - 22: That proclamation was made to declare the confiscation, and not to threaten it, because the na tives of India, while they attach much weight to a distinct and actual order of Government, attach very little to-a vague threat, whether conveyed - by proclamation or_ otherwise ; whilst it might - safely be assumed - that the spirit in which the clause treating of indulgence would be acted upon in the districts which should be recovered would gradually become known throughout the province and have a conci liatory effect. Precaution was taken against perversion and mis translation by publishingin the first instance none but vernacular versions' of the proclamation. 23.. I -have said that the proclamation should not attempt-to point out. the different measures-of indulgence which would be conceded indifferent. cases: This, and some other preceding observations, will be best explained by a brief reference to the recent condition of the talOokdars and other land holders, as regards their rights in the soil - -24. When we assumed the government of .Oude in 18.56, the greater part of the -province was held by talookdars, who represented its aristocracy. They have been called the " Barons - of Oude," but this term applied to them - as a class is misleading. Some had received titles from the kings of Oude, for services rendered, or by court favour. Some few are the- representatives of ancient families ; but the majority are men distinguished neither by birth, good service, • noj connection with the soil, . who having held office Under the native government as Naiims-(i.i. governors) or chuckladars (i.e. collec tors of government rents), or having firmed the revenue of extensive tracts, had taken advantage of the weakness of the native government and its in difference to all considerations ofjUstice so long as it received. revenue, had abused the authority.eon fided to there by that government, and by means of deeds of sale, sometimes extorted by violjnce, some times obtained by fraud, had become the nominal proprietors and the actual possessors of the villages. or the majority of the villages, which formed what they' called . their talookas, or estates. 25. Owing to the aseendancY which the men of this class acquired, the weaknessof the native govern ment, the venality of the courts; and the absence of justice, the 'condition of the actual occupants of the soil of the :roViiice was one of unparalleled depres sion. • Their rights had ceased to .exist, or were reduced to. a -mere shadow; they -could get no protection from the government ; they were completely in -the power of the talookdars, and were subject to - every kind.. of.. oppression, tyranny, and exaction... In . numberless -instances they were compelled by the- talookdars to execute deeds of sale, alienating-whatever proprietary right possessed,kaey nominally 'and they Mkt . but little by:the act, for the practical.fruition of propiietary right they had scarcely known. ..... • 26. Such. being tho condition of things- in Oude, the government of :India,• perhaps- with more of chi- I V drous justice than political prudence, determined at once to reinstate theie proprietary occupants of the soil in what were believed to be their hereditary rights; and to restore the ancient village communi ties ; and upon the -annexation of the country, the Chief Commissioner was instructed to make the settlement of the land revenue with the proptietai7 occupants of the soil, to the exclusion of middle. men. This instruction was carried into 'execution in some districts with' undue haste, harshly and. upon insufficient - evidence ; and where, this took place, injustice was done to the talookdars, some of whom were deprived of • villages which had long been attached to their talookas, and their titles 'Co which were not satisfactorily disproved. The injustice -might, and probably would, have been corrected in making the revised settlement ; but this does not excuse or palliate, the wrong. 27. The mutinies broke out. It might have been expected that; when insurrection first arose in Oude, and before it had grown to a formidable head, the village occupants who had been so highly favoured by the British Government, and in justice to whom it had initiated a policy distasteful to the most powerful class in the province, would have come forward in support of the government who had endeavoured to restore them to their hereditary rights, and with whose interests their interests were identical. Such, however, was not the case. So far as I am yet informed not an individual dared to be loyal to the government which had befriended him. The village occupants as a body relapsed into their former subjection to the talookdar, owned and obeyed his authority as if he had been their lawful suzerain, and joined the ranks of those who rose up in arms against the British Government. The endeavour to neutralise the usurped and largely abused power of the talookdars by recognising the supposed pro prietary rights of the people, and thus arousing their feelings of self-interest, and evoking their gratitude, had- failed utterly. 28. The time arrived when it became necessary to consider how th e p rov i nce s h ou ld b e d ea lt w ith .Upon the re-establishment of 'our power and autho rity in its capital. On the one hand was the patent fact that those whom we had desired to benefit, and had to our thinking benefited, did not value the rights which we had restored to them, and that far from standing up iu defence of these rights, and in .support o f th e government which had been the means of reviving them, they had acted in complete subordination to the talookdars, and had been no less forward than these latter in their efforts to subvert the authority of that government and to expel its officers ; on the other hand was the no less certain fact, with but few honourable excep tions, all the talookdars, many who had not suffered in the smallest degree by our fiscal measures, and some who had benefited by them, having been allowed at the settlement to retain all, or nearly all the villages coniposing their talookas on reduced assessments, had taken up arms against the British Government, had either themselves participated, or had sent their retainers to aid in the relentless attacks on the Lueknow residency, had forcibly re sumed the occupation of their talookas, and had in many ways 'manifested their malignant hostility to the British Government. 29. In these- circumstances, to have recalled the condition of things which existed immediately be fore the rebellion, thereby , renewing the experiment which had been attempted in 1856, and restoring, the occupants of the soil to the position of pro prietary landholders, which they had but just proved themselves wholly unfit and unprepared to maintain, would have been to court fallen*, and on the other hand. to have reverted to the state of affairs as we found them upon taking possession of the country, and thus to have acknowledged in the talookdars after they had, as a body, risen in arms against us, and helped to subvert our autho rity, rights which had been denied, and in most eases Justly denied, when our power was unques tioned and unresisted, would have been to concede a victory to rebels, and. to put a premium. on insur rection,' a .conrse which would have/ lowered the character of the Government and destroy - ed its influence, not only in Oude but throughout India. 30. Regard being' had to the history of tenures in Oude ; to the failure of the efforts made by the Government in 1856 to set -up those who were believed to be the hereditary proprietors of the soil ; to their unworthy reception of the benefits bestowed upon them; to the rebellious spirit mani fested by.nearly all the talookdars of the province, and to the inconceivable difficulties which would have attended the adjudication of claims to pro prietary right in the circumstances that have been briefly described, and which would have hampered the administration at every turn ; the surest, the safest the most politic, and a thoroughlyjust course, seemed to be to declare the proprietary right in the soil (to whomsoever appertaining, for all classes as such had sinned equally) confiscated, and to reserve to the Government the right of disposing of it as' might seem fitting, at the same time notifying the intention of the Government to show indulgence to those who should tender immediate submission and throw themselves upon its mercy. 31. I apprehend little difficulty, and, so far as experience, has gone, little has, I believe, been found in explaining to the taloOkdars and land owners with whom our officers have come in con- tact, that the ".confiscation" does not necessarily operate as a permanent deprivation of their rights, but that it places in the hands of the Government the power of punishing those who shall still persist in rebellion ; after life and honour have been gua ranteed to them ; of rewarding 'those who shall promptly come forward and give their support to the Government and to the cause of order ; of sub stituting in any case of restoration the unde n i a bl e title derived from the will of the Government, for the doubtful title which alone could be advanced by thepajority of those- whom the order affected naiad s i. u t3 e : h a cnodn gooddi ti n e s o of the the pro v i nce con duct, eturt:atyi, ase i ta politicalt e c fi r a a e dn t d o: in i r r eci circumstances i t mt o a r si a Ta t , i n o fe n eeas 0 I have made essential to the firm estaMishment of our authority. 32. I have now stated the considerations which led me to frame. the proclamation in the form in which it was transmitted to you. . 33. It"Wai sent to Lueknow on the 3d of March, and on the 10th I received from the chief commis sioner,_ Major-General Sir James Outram, a letter urging a reconsideration of the terms of the pro clamation, mainly on the ground that it would render hopeless the attempt to-enlist the talookdars on the side of order, and would, drive them to a desperate resistance ; and recommending that such landholders and chiefs as had not been accomplices in the cold-blooded murder of Europeans should be enlisted on our side by the restoration of their an cient possessions, subject to such restrictions as would protect their dependents from oppression. .34. This letter and the replies to it, includ ing the additional paragraph which Si r James Outram's opinion of the light in which' -the talookdars and - chiefs would view the proclama tion, induced me to add thereto, are before Tour honourable committee. 35. I will riot trouble your honourable commit tee with a recapitulation of the reasons which up peared to me to forbid the adoption of Sir Lines Outram's suggestion, but lest four honourable com mittee should suppose that I was without any pre vious expression 'of Sir J. Outram's opinion on the subject, I wish to ,state that -the unfavourable view taken by that distinguished officer of the substance of the proclamation was- a cause of much disap pointment to me. 36. A very few- weeks previously the chief com missioner had sent to the government of India an able and elaborate memorandum upon the system of civil administration to be adopted for Oude after LucknoW shOuld be subjugated,. In this memoran dim, dated lan; 15; 1858, are - the following pas sages :-.-- • . The system of- *settlement • with so-called vil lage proprietors will not answer at present, if ever, in Oude. " These men have not influence and weight enough to aid usin restoring order. The lands of men who have taken an active part against us shouldbe largely confiscated, in order, among other reasons, to enable us to reward others in the manner most acceptable to a native. But I see no prospect of returning tranquillity, except by having recourse for the next few years to the old talookdaree sys— tem. * * Talookas should only be given to mein who have actively aided us, or- who, having beon inactive, now evince a true willingness to serve and are possesied of influence sufficient to make their support of real value." 37. Subject to the_mulerstanding that even _ t o those who hail. berm 71 - 100- active against iridul- - puce shoniti be eitended upon their making prompt and complete submission, these opinions ac corded exactly with my own, and although I was aware that there might easily be difference of opi-. nion as to the mode 9f announcing and carrying out punishment by confiscation; it did not occur to me that any such .divergence of views as was.sub sequently Intimated in the chief - commissioner's letter of the Bth Of March could occur between us. The -belief • therein. expressed that there are not a - dolen landholders .in . the pro vince who have not borne arms against us seemed-to go fa towards jUstifying'the general and sweeping terms of the proclamation to whickalone- I expected 'any ebjeetion 'on Sir James 'Outram's. part. _ 38. I afterwards had'.occasion to send my military secretary, Colonel, Stuart, to head-quarters, and I took the opportunity to explain to the chief commissioner that I wished him to give the most liberal interpretation to the proclamation; that, for instance, the proclamation left it free to notify to any talookdar who was deserving of consideration that if he made submission and supported the go vernment, the confiscation of his lands would not take effect, and that his claims to property of which he might have been deprived upon the annexation of the province would be re-heard ; and that in the case of their having been resumed by him, he might retain them until the re-hearing. 39. On the 3d of April, Major-General Sir James Outrani being about to take his seat in coun cil at Calcutta, Mr. Montgomery succeeded to the chief commissionership of Oude. 40. Mr. Montgomery had, at my request, done me the favour of visiting Allahabad before going to Lucknow, in order that I might have an oppor tunity of communicating unreservedly with him upon the discharge of his new duties. • " I impressed upon the new chief commissioner my wish that his dealings with the chief rebels should be as conciliatory as might be consistent with the dignity Of the Government, and that he should treat liberally and generously all those who tendered their allegiance and gave support to his authority. Mr. Montgomery expressed his inten tion to .take this matter into his own personal management. _ 41. - On the 20th of April the commissioner wrote to me in an unofficial letter as follows : "I enclose a memorandum just given me by Captain Barrow, which will show your lordship the names of talookdars who have attended in per son or by vakeel. Generally speaking, indeed in variably, the feeling showed by the men who came in is excellent. They express great sorrow at the past, and seem grateful for the consideration shown to them." A copy of the memorandum is enclosed. 'lt contains the names of 26 chiefs of note and influ ence, in various quarters, some of them at a great distance from -Lucknow, who had either openly tendered their allegiance to the Government, or had taken the first steps towards doing so. So far as I know, only one of these has swerved from his first intention. At the date of this memorandum little more than a month had elapsed since the first appearance of the proclamation in Lucknow. 42. On the 22d of May the chief commissioner sent me a further memorandum from Captain Bar- row, which is also under this cover. It 'describes the progress made, and the state of feeling prevalent. It is right, however, that I should observe that of the three powerful talookdars named in this me morandum one only (faun Sing) has sided with us actively. Of the other two, one (Madhoo Sing) is inactive, and the other (Bence 11Iadhoo) is in arms against us. 43. From) this: last date the chief commissioner has furnished weekly reports, which have been for warded to your honourable committee in regular course. 44. :Latterly these .have become less favourable. The rebels, under the leadership, in some cases, of talookdars, have approached nearer to Lucknow ; have threatened, and in some places destroyed, the civil stations which we had established, and have killed some of. the native. guards. But I am not, neither is the chief commissioner of Oude, dis heartened by a temporary check in the progress which had been rapidly achieved. In a letter received from Mr. Montgomery, as I am writing, that gentleman says : " I had settled some 6,000 villages, and every thing was progressing most favourably, when a combination of circumstances prevented the pro gress of the settlement." But he adds, " I still say that the mass of the people are well inclined to us. I get secret letters and messages, but they . dare not come forward in the face of the armed bodies which are hostile to us." 45. In an earlier part of this despatch I had occasion to speak of these bodies, which, although without cohesion and combination, are none the those less capable of intimidating and persecuting whom they believe to be well disposed towards the Government. They have latterly been greatly aided in this by the influx of fugitives from Rohil cund and Calpee, who have either joined them or set up as independent marauders. 46. I never expected it to be otherwise ;. I never expected that with the capture and occupa tion of Lucknow the province ofnioce thewould sub becomecontrary missive ; and m recorded in the letter which, on the 16th of Janu ary, the Governor-General in Council addressed to the commander-in-chief, recommending that his excellency's operations should, notwithstanding, be directed against Lucknow. These operations were carried out with a skill, bravery, and•success, which have won the admiration of the world. But it is no disparagement of the work of the great soldier who achieved that success .to say that the chastise ment thereby inflicted, upon the loose bands of mutineers, rebels, and plunderers, who were col lected in and about the city, was not such as to expel theni from the limits of the province, or to deter them from persevering in their work of murder and pillage in other districts of it. 47. It is not in reason that, what with the pressure of the mutinous sepoys now congregated in various parts of the proyince on the one hand, and the arts and threats of desperate adventurers acting as leaders on the other, violence and rebel- lion should not be kept alive; and that those who are :well inclined to' make their peace with the Government should not the doing so. 48. No man is better Eastern districts of ()tide and . Mr. 'Wingfield, who is at present acting on that fittatier of the province as special commissioner of Goruckpore. Writing on the 6th of June, Mr. Wingfield says—J. Unsupp or t e d by the presence of British troops, there are many talookdars, who to my certain knowledge arc deterred from tendering their allegiance, which is their r:incere wish. Had the garrison of Lucknow only been distributed about the province, three-fourths_ of the talookdar s would, under the p rom i ses the procla mation, have been entirely on our side by this time." Unfortunately the garrison of Lucknow could not be spared, nor any body of troops at all approaching it in strength. 49. But when • the season shall arrive at which the troops can move rapidly over the country, when the large police force now being raised by the chief commissioner at Lucknow shall have reached its complement, and received further organisation, and when it shall be manifest that we have the means of protecting or supporting those who return to their allegiance, I cannot doubt that the spirit in which the proclamation has been accepted in many quarters will declare itself generally through out the province. 50. I have now described to your lion. com mittee the whole course of my proceedings in re gard to the proclamation of the 15th of March. I have at the same time explained the policy which has guided me, and I have informed you generally of the results. I respectfully await your judgment. I have, &c. (Signed) CANNING.

Honourable Sirs,—Your despatch No. 20, of the 18th of May, reached me two days ago. I beg your honourable court to accept my warmest thanks for the assurance of your continued confidence which that d es p a t c h an d the resolution of your honourable court embodied in it convey. 2. Such Ira' expression •of the sentiments of your honourable court would be to me a source of gratification and just pride in any circum stances ; but. the generous and timely promp titude with which you have been pleased to issue it, and :the fact that it conveys approval of past as well as trust for the future has greatly enhanced its val ue . Y our h onoura b le court have rightly judged that in the midst of difficulties no sup port is so cheering to a public servant or so strength ening, as that which is derived from a declared ap proval of the spirit by which his past acts have been guided: _ 3. r believe that the expectations expressed by your honourable court, as to the spirit in which the proclaimed confiscation of proprietary rights in 'Oude would be used, will not be disappointed when ou shall have had. cognisance of the despatch which had the honour to address to the secret committee n the 1 itlfult., and which, as being the sequel of correspondence already in the hands of your hon ourable court, will no doubt have been laid before you. . - • , f 4. ,Your honourable 'court observe that I must have' been well aware that the words of the procla- Matron, without the comment on it, which you trust was speedily afforded by the actions of the govern inent, must have produced the expectation ofmuch more general and indiscriminate dispossession than could have been consistent with justice or with poUndlic . • • y. oubtedly this is so. But it was not without deliberation that in framing the proclamation I used 4he positive, peieinptoiy, and, so to speak, enacting ords which declare that the proprietary right in he soil of the .province is confiscated to the govern [ ent, which will dispose of that right in such man ner as it may deem fitting. ' 5. Ai this point Was scarcely touched upon in My above-mentioned despatch to the secret commit tee, I will take leave to add a further brief explana ' Lion upon it. I have said that it - is in-the nature of those to whom the proclamation was addressed to Care very little for the threats, but to have a great respect for the distinct orders of superior authority. A rebel landowner, to whom no more should be said than that if he did not make submission soon his rights would be liable to confiscation, would be likely to trust for his escape to the chapter of acci dents, and to the chance of avoiding or defeating . . crmunatory evidence, and so t o d e l a y , su b m i s - Sion, and - cling to the cause of those whose immediate influence might be nearest ani strongest. Whereas, if he should bemade to feel that the with drawal of his rights is already decreed, that it only remains for the executive officers to give effect to it by placing another proprietor in 'possession, and that the best hope left to him is- to work out as large a claim to proffered indulgence as possible whilst there is yet time, his manifestation of alle giance would - assuredly .be quickened. 6. It was my business to consider what would most stimulate and hasten a return to peace and loyalty on the part - of those addressed ; and , l was of opinion that this would best be done by making it clear and plain that the rpwards actually con ferred for fidelity were very large ; that the punish ment actually decreed for rebellion was very heavy, but that from this punishmen a door of escape wa still open. , .. 7. To attempt to define more precisely the con ditions and degrees according to which Indulgence should be awarded and punishment tempered ap peared to me most inexpedient. It would, I submit, have been impossible to put into the proclamation any mitigating or conciliatory words to this effect without incurring the greatest risk of raising false hopes, and giving ground for mistaken claims, the disappointment which hereafter would have gone far to confirm in the minds of many the reproach Which the rebel leaders have sedulously thrown out against the English Government of a want of good faith—a reproach 'to which no colour or shadow of truth shall ever be given by any act of mine. 8. I, therefore, left the way of escape and the amount of 'attainable indulgence to be learned from the treatment which those who should first come in would receive. No explanation in . words would have been so certain to spread through the country with little chalice of perversion as this. No other course would have left the government so free to use wise discrimination in the remission of punishment. 9. Your honourable court will, of course, bear in mind that the proclamation was addressed to a pro vince in arms, throughout which we had not at that time a surviving friend or interest to defend, and that, therefore, any fear of danger from an out burst of resistance by which matters should be made worse was imaginary. 10. Upon a careful, and I hope dispassionate, review of the whole subject, I cannot but think that the words in which the proclamation was couched were those most befitting the government of India in its relations with its rebellious province, and best calculated to effect eventually a real and sure paci fication. But the question was one of very great _difficulty ; and I entreat your honourable court not to suppose that I am so presumptuous as to depre cate criticism of the mode in which the difficulty was met. 11. The reports lately received from Locknow, and despatched to your honourable court by this and by the preceding mail, show that one of the chief commissioner's greatest embarrassments is the want of sufficient means to protect the landholders, who arc - eager to tender their allegiance, but whom we cannot in some places effectually defend until the bands of the more desperate rebels and. mutineers which still harass the province shall have been sub odnuleyd by a movingndde destroyed—an roy t e h d e obje ctoo —tarnpshi t which,ough the co can be attained a a r imd t a suitable season. Accordingly, in the cases of many i who have lmi\Nieondeclared tlliels fo u nd r necessary to desire nim‘lt present. 12. to remain p ass i ve f or th e advise si 2. v The del a y i s to b e regretted, but the fact has of e ot p r been oviil Q is furnishe s p roo f th i t the spirit of the proclamation misunderstood, and that the temper gradually tending towards order and allegiance.

On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price 17s. 101 d per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4271 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13-61 per 1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in. London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent., which when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of trans port and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States.. by y t the Hollowaybo bones, sinews, s a i nea's, joints, paralysis of 'the andlimbms , u a s ti c el l es o other have crippling Ma[ArvDelvloEungrteSiriesEfT.Bl—iaHticOallON:tailyr's Ointment and Pills,—.
