"Gentlemen,—The success of the medicine (Morison's Pills) among the poor in this village is very great ; very many individuals, and some whole families, never think of seeking any other aid. In 1° ,2"1e eases, were other medical aid had been procured (through that impatience which is so natural to us all in illness) a return to the use Of the pills has been attended with complete success. We have now tried them successfully for every case of illness that has occurred in our large family, cony' during the last three years, and I am thoreughly need of the soundness of the theory on which the pills are made ; 1:1 b elieve that if there be a arable complaint the careful and judi cious use of the ' Vegetable Medicine' will accomplish the cure.

OVERLAND MAIL TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. The treaty of peace between the Indian Company and the Maharaja of Lahore was signed at Lahore on the 9th March. By Art. 3, the Maharaja cedes to the Company all the terri tory comprised between the rivers Beas and Sutlej. By Art. 4, the Maharaja, findins it impossible to complete the pay ment of the indemnity agreed upon, cedes to the Company all the mountain territory comprised between the Beas and the Indus, inclosing the provinces of Cashmere and of Maza rah. By Art. 5, the indemnity to be paid by the Maharaja is settled at fifty lace of rupees. In a word, the Company obtains by Art. 10 the right of passage across the ter ritory of Lahore by the troops wherever required. By Art. 12, the Maharaja recognises Ghoolab Singh as inde pendent Sovereign of the territory which he at present pos sesses, and of whatever the Company shall choose to cede to him hereafter. On the 16th of March a counter. treaty was signed at Umritser, between the Company and the Maharaja Ghoolab Singh. By Art. I the Company cedes to Ghoolab Singh the terri. ory at the east of the Indus and west of the Rave. Art. 3 stipulates the payment to the Company by Ghoolab Singh of 800,0001. By Art. 6 Ghoolab Singh engages to join all his troops to those of the Company in the operations which may take place within the limits of the Company's territory. By Art. 10 Ghoolab Singh recognises the supremacy of England, in testimony of which he will pay annually to the English Government eleven goats and six Cashmere mules. INDIA AND CHINA. (From the Times and Herald.) Our dispatch, in anticipation of the Bombay mail of the Ist of April, brings the gratifying intelligence of India being at present in complete tranquillity. The late rapid campaign on the Sutlej has terminated in the complete subjugation of the Seikhs. Our correspondent has forwarded to us the Delhi Gazette Extraordinary of the 23d of March, containing several most important documents connected with the treaties which were signed for the pacification of the Pun jaub. The first is a notification published by the Governor- General, and contains a note of the conference held on the Bth of March, between the British diplomatist, Mr. Currie, and the Minister and chiefs of the Lahore durbar, and also translations of two applications on behalf of the young Ma haraja Dhuleep Singh, praying for the protection of the British troops. The second document gives an account of the proceedings attendant on the treaty. The third is a memorandum of the proceedings of the durbar (public levee) held at Lahore on the 9th of March, in the state tent of the Governor-General, during which he delivered an address, which was interpreted sentence by sen tence, to the Lahore Chiefs and Minister, by Mr. Currie. The address is a remarkable document, as it explains the policy of the British Government, and the stipulations which are required from the Seikh Government. The fourth document is the treaty of peace between the British Qovernment and Dhuleep Singh. It is comprised in 16 articles, and cedes all the territory south of the Sutlej, and also the hill country which lies between the Bess and the Indus, including the provinces of Cashmere and ilusarah. The Maharaja is to pay 50. lass (half a million sterling) on the ratification, and engages to disband all the mutinous troops of Lahore, and to keep 20,000 infantry and 12,000 cavalry, and no more. The British armies are to be allowed to pass through the Lahore territory, and all the guns pointed against the British are to be surrendered, as in fact they have been. The control of the rivers Beas and Sutlej to the Indus is vested in the British. No European or American is to be employed by the Lahore Government without the sanction of the British. Rajah Ghoolab Singh is to become an independent Sovereign in the territories which the British may cede to him. All changes in the frontiers of the Lahore state are prohibited, and all its dis putes are to be referred to the British authorities, who are not to interfere in its internal administration. This treaty is also remarkable in not using the title Pun jaub or Five Rivers. The dominions of Dhuleep are confined to the Lahore state. The fifth document is the memorandum of a state visit paid by the Governor-General to the Maharaja Dhuleep Singh, at which the Lahore Minister, Dewan Deen a Nath, pronounced an address of thanks to the British leader for his generosity. The sixth is a note of the proceedings of the Minister and Chiefs of Lahore, 'assembled together on the 11th of March in durbar, during which articles of agreement were signed for the occupation of the city of Lahore during ten months, in order to protect the Maharaja while organising his army, The seventh is a copy of the treaty entered into by the Governor-Gene' al with the (now) Maharaja Ghoolab Singh, to whom the British give over, in independent possession, all the hilly or'mountainous country lying between the Ravee and the Indus, including of course the valley of Cashmere and the province of .Hazarah and Chumba, but excluding Lahool. Ghoolab Singh is to pay half A Luilliou via the ratigcation PRICE SD, of the treaty, and a quarter in October next, and is not to employ any foreigners. The British undertake to protect him against all foreign enemies ; while he and all his forces are to be ready when called on to aid the British. In aci knowledgment of British supremacy, he engages every year to present a horse, twelve shawl goats, and three pair of Cash mere shawls. T:htis the Jamoo Chief, who contriled to obtain possession of the greatest part of the treasures of old Runjeet, has been able to raise himself hitt' , the rank of an independent Ma haraja. While he was Wuzeer of Lahore he, in February last, promised to pay 1,600,000/. to the tritish; but when the day of payment arrived, in March, the money was not forthcoming, and new treaties became necessary, by which the Lahore Government was deprived of the Kohistan (hill country), and Ghoolab or Gholab (for his name is written both ways), having undertaken to pay half a million down and another sum of a quarter million seven months after wards, was declared an independent Raja (or rather Maha raja —Great King), with the far-famed valley of Cashmere as his dependence. There is a remarkable omission in the Lahore treaty, to which it may b e useful to awaken attention—viz., that, no mention is made of the province of Moultan, which is known to have been always independent of Lahore until the reign of Runjeet Singh. The non-mention of this most important commercial eatrepdt, leads to the belief that some further military movements for the occupation of that province may be expected after the rainy season shall have passed over— that is, about October next, the Sinde x iy, * whit% had 'hulled Bhairulpoie, itu ordered to be broken up on the 10th of March, and most of the regiments returned to Sukkur, itc., in order to be sta tioned in Sinde, while the ilengal troops proceeded toWards Ferozepore. Sir Charles Napier, who by a Molt rapid march had reached the Governor-General at Lahore oil the 3d of March, and where he was received with every distinction, was to return to Sinde as Governor. Some foolish reports have been circulated of the surrender of the Indus and Sinde to the Ameers, as if that great river was not now more than ever requisite for maintaining the preponderancy of the Bri tish supremacy in the north-west of India. General Sir J. Littler, at the head of 10,000 men, is to occupy Lahore for the remaining months of 1846; the Lahore Government has to defray the expense of the British troops there. The Go vernor-General was expected to quit the Lahore state on the 20th of March, and to proceed into the newly-acquired provinces to the east of the Betts in company with Sir C. Napier, where they will to have to regulate the cantonments. It appears to be expected that the Governor-General will pass the hot and rainy months at Simla. No mention is made in the Lahore treaty of the province of Peshawar, of which the Afghans, under the notorious Akbar Khan, are anxious to repossess themselves. This is calculated to prove a new source of discussion, and perhaps of conflict, as soon as the season opens for a campaign. The whole settlement of the Punjankindicates a great wish on the part of both the Powers to make terms as quick as possible, and the results may be confusion and disputes hereafter. The Nizam's finances are still in the utmost disorder, and must speedily require the application of a strong remedy by the paramount Government of India. The hot months had begun in India, and great complaints were heard of the want of water, in consequence of the scanty fall during the last monsoon. A famine was feared in various districts during the two months which had to elapse before the rains set in. The news from China was to the 27th of February, which we received by the last mail. The French steamer --- Archimede, with M. Lagrine on board, had arrived in Bombay harbour on the Ist of April. He appears to be making a tour of all the great ports of India, having visited Calcutta, Madras, Trincomalee, Colombo, Bombay, &c. The resolution of the Dutch Government to conquer the fertile island of Bali, with nearly 2,000,000 of inhabitants has awakened the most indignant feelings amongst the mer chants of Singapore, as being contrary to the treaty signed by Mr. Canning and Baron Fagel on the 17th of March 1824. This island is a valuable acquisition, and it ought not, to be allowed to pass over to the cruelties of the Dutch slave owners with impunity. The Governor of Bombay, Sir George Arthur, had a severe attack of illness, but was recovering. His retirement from India was spoken of as approaching. :(From the Bombay Times of April 1.) THE PUNJALTB. The latest Lahore intelligence contained in our last extended to the lit of March—the latter portion being scanty and incomplete. Ghoolab Singh had, at this time, been appointed Vuazeer—the first instalment of the indemnity was said to have been paid, the Khalsas were believed to be dispersing, and Lahore was gar r i sone d b y yaftruiraarb rea y , s a f or t n i ght s i nce we understood that our errthese s uIl Mutttirriaitt&V Aft,'"Arer Me% 1~- planation ang ot the changes which have occurred by and by : mean while we must take up the narrative of events in the order of their occurrence. The village near camp, called Chooney, having been plundered, a stern order, intimating that camp fol lowers convicted of such malpractices as this would be hung on the spot, was issued. On the 2d the troops were inspected by the Commander-in-Chief, and presented a very fine appearance, Officers were allowed to visit the city and environs with a pass and escort, and nothing could be more orderly and respectful than the conduct of all classes of the people. Traffic, which on our approach was interrupted, was renewed with double vigour, the dealers in each supplies as were required in camp reaping an abundant har vest. The Khalsa troops came in by regiments to receive their ar rears of pay. Five months' was due to them—two were struck off; so that for the fighting portion of their service they got no re ward at all. Even that allowed them was reduced from 245. to 14s. a month—the former being the sum extorted by them since they took the regulation of allowances into their own hands-12s. was all they obtained from Runjeet Singh, and to this the newly organised army is to be restricted. Seventeen bullock cart-loads of rupees, amounting to 215,0001., came into camp on the sth, and the whole of the Seikh cannon used against us, thirty-six in number, were surrendered. Sir Charles Napier, who had ar rived in camp on the 3d, was received with the most marked consideration. Two days afterwards a general review of the army took place. Sir C. Napier was introduced by Sir Henry liar dinge to H.M.'s 50th, the regiment he had commanded at Corunna, and in the evening a splendid entertainment was given byte Gover nor General. According to the Surrachec Advertiser (other authori ties are silent on the subject) Sir H. Hardinge asserted that he had sent for the heio of Meanee to take his place as second in command, as he expected the reduction of Lahore, Umritser, and Govindgliur, to be difficult and protracted operations. He complimented him highly on the civil government of Sinde. An entire and complete alteration began now to be found necessary in the arrangements. The jealousies existing between Ghoolab and Lall Singh being found an insurmountable obstacle to the Vuzzeership remaining in the hands of the former, the entreaties of the Queen was listened to, and the latter nominated in his place. When the promise of a million and a half of indemnity was made, it must have been well known to those who made it that in the treasury of the state no such sum was to be found. The hoards of Runjeet Singh had all been squandered, and by the time the arrears of the army, and the first instalment of the indemnity was paid, the last shilling was expended. The Goverment being unable to pay the whole of the sum they had promised, or to give satisfactory security fbr its eventual payment, the whole of the territories between the Beas and the Indus, including the provinces of Cashmere and Hazara, were ceded to us in perpetuity in lieu of the million they found themselves unable to make up ; the half million is as paid when the treaty was ratified. Ghoolab Singh having agreed to pay half a million now, and a quarter of a million on or before the Ist of October, had the whole of the country last ceded to us betwixt the Beas and Indus made over to him, including Chumba, but excluding Lalool; which last, we presume, makes up for the defective 25,0001. required to bring the total up to the million and a half originally promised us. He was to recognise the supre macy of the British Government, and to present them annually one horse, twelve shawl goats, and three pairs of Cashmere shawls. He was to assist up with his troops whenever any army should be em ployed in his neighbourhood, and all his disputes and quarrels with those around him were to be referred to our arbitrement. No Euro pean or American, or subject of the British Government, was ever to be employed by him without our consent ; in defhnding himself from his enemies he was to have the benefit of our assistance. Thi s di s memberment o the of the empire may be humili a ti ng t o t h e represen t a ti ves r deal ruler by whose vigour It was consolidated, but for us chiefst em inently expedient. We have now not one but a multitude o o f care y single with, in the last degree jealous of each other , with Ten l thouid sentiment in common, British troops, 8a" aPPrehens P li artillery, are, by request of the Queen, to w b i e th le t f h t ir l y t ieces the end of the year, but we thirty-six P o ' a solid government be esta blished. They will remain till abou t have pledged ourselves that then they s hall be withdrawn ; the extra charges of their maintenance being met by the treasury. The fol lowing are the corps ordered to stand fast :—Day's Troop of Horse Artillery, Horsford's Battery, Fordyce's ditto, two reserve Companies of Foot Artillery—viz., the 2d Company 2d Battalion, and 4th Com pany 4th Battalion, the Bth and 9th Companies of Sappers and Miners, a wing of the 2d Irregular Cavalry, two 1 8-peunde two 8-inch howitzers, her Majesty's 80th Foot, the 6th, 12th, 27th 42d, 43d, 45th, 47th, and 68th Native Infantry. The Co d in- Chief had made a short sweep of the fortresses near the cap ital , er ;vith a view especially of examining those of lJnaritser and Govincghur, of which, we should imagine, plans are likely to be taken. Ills ab- Unice was expected to be of short duration : his final departure from Lahore was fixed for the 18th or 20th. Sir John Littler had moved his troops somewhat to the south-west, and the new camp was esta blished considerably more near than the former one to the capital. A portion of the Seikh army is to be re -embodied for the service of the state, and paid at the rate allowed them under. Runjeet Singh— Sixpence per diem or thereabouts : it is to consist of 25 battalions of infantry, 800 strong, with 12,000 cavalry —or 32,000 in all, and on no account to be increased without our consent. How a body of some 50,000 discontented and vindictive men are hereafter to be kept quiet or disposed of, must be matter of the gravest concernment to their own Government as well as ours ; and it seems not unlikely that indacementa may by-and-bye be held out to them to Join the ranks of the British army. The Jullander Doab proves on exami nation to be more rich and fertile than it was supposed to be. The Seikh prejudices are so strong against the killing of the sacred cow, that as few Europeans as possible are to be quartered in oar new dominions. The Governor-General returns by Umritser and Roopur, thence to Sultanpore and the other military stations in our new dominions : he will thence proceed to ITmballah on his way to Simla, where he will spend the hot season, watching from a convenient distance the effects of the political arrangements just made. The chiefs who held estates under grants from Runjeet Singh are to be allowed to continue in possession of theta, in the confiscated states, Paying to us the contributions formerly made by them to the Seer treasury. We yesterday received the treaty, with relative correspondence, by special express. GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. Foreign Department, Camp Umritser, the 16th March, 1846.

The street l ea di ng to the GOvernor-Ganerars tent will be lined by det ac hment s o f reg i men ts according to the orders which his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief will be pleased to issue. The following day the Governor-General will pay his Highness th ,..! Maharaja a visit of congrat u l a ti on on the restorat i on of peacetween the two Governments, and will leave the camp for that per• pose at three o'clock. The escort will be fixed in the General Ordec of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. The 36 pieces of Siekh artillery, which were pointed against the British army, have been surrendered and brought into camp. The disbandment of the Seikh army, its reorganisation on the same rata of pay as in the the time of the late Maharaja Runjeet Singh, mad the limitation of its numbers, have been settled by the treaty. At the earnest solicitation of the Government of the Maharais Dhuleep Singh, the Governor-General has consented to occupy tic citadel and town of Lahore by British troops for a limited period, that opportimity may be afforded the Lahore Government of com pleting the reorglinielttion of its army according to the stipulation, of the treaty. If by the good offices of the British Government peace and order can take the place of the military anarchy and misrule by which the Seikh nation has been brought to the verge of dissolution, the Governor-General will rejoice that the co-operation of the British Government, by the aid of its faithful army, shall have been suc cessful in effecting that object. It is the strongest proof which the British Government can give of the sincerity of its desire to see a Seikh Government reestablished. The British Government having afforded the protection desired,7the troops will be withdraTrn before the end of the year. The details of the force will be deter mined between the Governor General and his Excellency the Com-- mander-in-Chief. During the period of occupation the native troops will continue to receive Sinde pay and allowances. It is by the valour and discipline of the British troops, led by their distinguished commanders, that these important and complete suc cesses have been gained, and the Governor General is confident that during the temporary occupation of the fortified town of Lahore, the troops will prove by their good conduct that they are as generous and humane after victory, as they are brave and invincible in the field of battle. By order of the Right Hon. the Governor-General of India. (Signed) F. CURRIE, Secretary to the Government of India, with the Governor-General. MEMORANDUM OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF A DURBAR HELD AT LAHORE ON THE 9Tli OF MARCH, 1846. At four r.x. of the 9th March, a public durbar was guild in the state tent of the Right Hon. the Governor-General, at which his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief and staff, his Excellency the Governor of Sinde and staff, with the British and nativeofficers, invited by the Governor General's order, dated Bth instant, attended. The young Maharaja of Lahore,". attended by the Minister Raja Lall Singh, Raja Ghoolab Singh, the Commander-in-Chief of the Lahore army, Sitter Tej Singh, and about thirty other girders and civil officers, with their suites, being present. After the treaty of peace was ratified and exchanged with the usual ceremonies, the Governor-General addressed the chiefs in the following terms, the address being trap slated, sentence by sentence, by the secretary to the Government of India, Mr. F. Currie : "On this occasion of ratifying the treaty of peace between the British Government and the Mahara , a Dhuleep Singh, in the pre sence of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, his Excellency the Governor of Sinde, and the officers of the British army on the one Selkh Chiefs on tha other, I have to repeat the between the two Governments. " The British Government desires to see a Seikh Government re established which may be able to control its army. protect its sub jects, and willing to respect the rights of its neighbours. "By this treaty the Lahore Government has sufficient strength to resist and punish any native power which may van .ure to assail it, and to put down all internal commotions. " Wifdom in council and good faith in fulfilling its engagements will cause the Seikh Government to be respected, sad enable it to pre serve its national independence. "For forty years It was the policy, in Runjeet Singh's time, to cultivate friendly relations between the two Governments, and during the whole of that period the Seikh nation was independent and happy. Let the policy of that able man towards the British Govern ment be the model for your future imitation. "The British Government in no respect provoked the late war. It had no objects of aggrandisement to obtain by hostilities. The proof of its sincerity is to be found in its moderation in the hour of victory. "A just quarrel, followed by a successful war, has not changed the policy of the British Government. The British Governmentdoes not desire to interfere in your internal affairs. lam ready and anxious to withdraw every British soldier from Lahore. At the earnest soli citation of the Selkh Government, I have reluctantly consented to leave a British force in' garrison at Lahore until time shall have been afforded for the re-organization of the Seikh army, by which assist ance the stipulations of the treaty may be more easily carried Into effect. " In no case can I consent that the British troops shall remain in garrison for a longer period than the end of this year. " I state this publicly, that all the world may know the truth, and the motives by which I am actuated in this matter. " The Seikh army must, according to the treaty, be immediately reorganised by adverting to the same system and rate of pay as in Runjeet Singh's time. If the friendly assistance now afforded by the British Govern ment be wisely followed up, and honest exertions made by the chiefs without delay, you will become an independent and prosperous state. " The success or failure is in your own hands : my co-operation shall not be wanting, but if you neglect this opportunity, no aid oa the part of the British Government can save the state.
