C The present Season is hallowed by one of the most delightful • offices of friendship and affection; the interchange of gifts. While large sums are expended upon the most costly baubles and elegant . trifles; no more =appropriate Present can be made at this season of the year than a Package of ROWLANDS' MACASSOR OIL, KAIY DOH, and ODONTO, combining, as these articles do, the most ster ling utility with elegance and luxury. The august patronage conceded by our gracious Queen, the Roysl Faintly, and the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe, together with the confirmation by experience of theinf allible efficacy of these creative and renovating specifics, have characterised them with perfection, and given them a celebrity unparalleled. *** BEWARE OF SPURIOUS IMITATIONS. Some are offered under the implied sanction of Royalty, and the GOvernment Departments, with similar attempts at deception.

That, in the first instance, the call be limited to Is. per share, as required by the Joint-Stock Companies Registration Act, and that the subscribers be not held responsible beyond the pa3ment of such sum, which, it is assumed, will be amply sufficient for the purpose of obtaining the most conclusive evidence of the practicability of adopting steam -carriages on common roads.

THE NICOLL : this is an abbreviation of the title given to a Patented Outer Coat, called " The Nicoll's Chlamys Paletof,," the said curtailment being first suggested in the daily correspondence of the several Agents appointed under the above patent, and it will no doubt be generally adopted in preference to the name in full, through being more convenient to use. PIIERE is a double use and purpose in the NICOLL, or PATENT CHLAMTS PA LETOT, in other words, the same garment can be used as a warm winter Overcoat, and will look equally well as a light Paletot (used in walking, &c.). indeed, for the latter purpose it represents the popular and fashionable Registered Paletot, which, when it is ,desirable to form into a warm winter garment, the same is transformed into the Nicoll, by the simple addition of a wadded interlining, which is in corporated with the lighter ach Coat in a most perfect end oginal manner ; this can be atted or detached without the least trouble to the wearer. A most moderate price is fixed for these two garments in one, viz., Three Guineas. IU, EMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, and LTA. MEDICAL PROFESSION'S, it is presumed, will all readily concede their patronage to the new patented invention called THE NICOLL, inasmuch that, besides its blue soberness unpretending appearance, it is the only garment extant which presents to gentle men thus engaged a proper defence against the ills it arising from a var i a ble climate (the origin of colds, Sse.) To these profes sional men are more susceptible than others, arising from close study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now should the morning atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day cold, tho NicolMEßl is a garment that will provide for both contingencies.

To these I would add the authority of Mr. Edmun- - stone, a distinguished servant of the Company, whose opinion upon one branch of this ease the majority of the Court of Directors has implicitly followed, and, therefore, I conclude his views will have great weight with them. Mr. Edmunstone says—" Our dealings w;th native states has a tendency to create a wcessiey for that gradual aggrandizement to which the annals of the world refer the downfal of every mighty em pire." Sir, there is one more authority which appears to me a very appropriate one to those I have adduced. Lord Minto, in speaking on the subject of taking pos session of Travancore, which was then in contemplation, says—" I feel at the same time a strong repugnance, upon grounds more general than those alreadystated, to assume the government of Travancore either as a tem porary or a permanent measure, so radical a change in the nature of our relation to that country, and so total a revolution in its own political state and con stitution, must be deemed by that people, and by every other native Government, equivalent to a con quest, as it would in truth be. It would be classed amongst those events which have created, and still justify the jealousy so prevalent in Asia, of the views with which we form our alliances, and would be especially regarded as a new example cf the consequences to be apprehended from a subsidiary engagement with the British Government." Sir, these, I conceive, are great and important au thorities, which certainly ought to have considerable influence upon the Court in coming to a decision in this case—authorities, I will venture to sav, which ought to hare much greater influence on the Court than those anonymous letters which we see published from time to time in the public newspapers—those editorial articles, " leading articles" as they are called, which issue from time to time—(Hear, hear) —and the arrogance, flippancy, and -assumption of which clearly show from what tainted source they proceed, and with what views they are written. Mr. FIELDER— Which of those do you mean ? Mr. LEWIS Sir, you may affix it to whom you please. Why, sir, should the grasping and aggran (tieing policy be any longer pursued ? The sound ness of the opinions to which I have adverted, and which are opposed to such a policy, has been verified by the experience of the last few years. It was in contravention of that policy that we invaded Affaghanistan, and what were the fruits of our invasion ? Defeat, dis aster, and unexampled suffering.—(Hear, hear.) The Chairman may smile, but I think he will not deny that was the melancholy result. It was in contra vention of that policy that we marched our armies in Sinde, took its capital, expelled its Princes, and desolated its country. What are the fruits of that invasion ? I believe, sir, I speak the truth when I say nothing but our finances loaded with debt—ea debt constantly increasing—an unceasing drain upon our revenue, and, as far as we know, likely to continue for years to come. And what has been the further result of acting in contravention of that policy ? This last invasion of Sinde has led, as might have been expected, to other evils. It has brought us in collision with the Seikh nation. It is true, that they were the aggressors in this case, but it is equally true that your taking posses sion of Sinde, your assuming the attitude you did there, necessarily led them to be apprehensive and put them on their own defence. These are the fruits of that aggressive and selfish policy which would occupy every piece of ground in India, and rest satis fied with nothing short of universal dominion. Why should this policy,' I repeat, be any longer persevered in ? Why should it be applied in the case of Sattara, a peaceful state in alliance with us at this moment? What is there with reference to the Sattara state that can justify the application of that policy ? There is not a single circumstance to justify its alienation. You can'adduce none. As far as the treaty is con cerned that establishes the right of the heirs general to succeed. There can be no question on that head. As far as ,this is a question of right there is nothing which can justify the invasion or occupation of the territories of Sattara. Can it be said that the inhabitants of that country have apyeared - in arms against us, or assumed an aril etade of"annoyance and defied our authority? Cer lainly not; they have not the power to do so. Is it that the country is misgoverned, and that anarchy and misrule prevail there, and you are afraid that the contagion will spread to your own provinces and taint them ? Certainly not. From the commencement the administration of Pertaub Sheen has been the subject of universal commendation by the East India Company and the British Government ; the adminis tration also of Appa Sahib has met with the same commendation. From time to time we have had his praises sounded in this Court by my friends Mr. Fielder and Mr. Weeding. We have been told, and no doubt it is true, and of course I join in the commendation, that the in human practice of Suttees was put dowr, that the transit duties were abolished, that commerce was left free and unfettered, that bridges were made, roads constructed, schools and asylums introduced, and every other improvement which civilization can boast of. There is nothing, therefitre, on the ground of the misgovernment of the country that can justify your invasion of those territories. What is it then ? Do the people themselves wish any change ? hare they petitioned you to introduce your rule there ? No, they are attached to their native institutions ; they are attached to their country ; they are attached to their laws and to their Sovereign. All they ask is, that you should leave them alone in the enjoyment of the blessings they now possess under their own sys• tern. They do not wish to be interfered with in any way. I ask, then, what pretext is there—what shadow of a shade of a pretext is there, that you should interfere in the concerns of the Sattara state, or threaten to take possession of its territories ? Sir, this course of conduct appears to me to be one wholly unworthy the British Government and of a Christian nation. They are weak, they are, comparatively speaking, defenceless ; we are, on the other hand, powerful, I had almost said we are omnipotent. What is the conduct we should pursue towards our weaker allies ? What should that weak ness beget in us ? A spirit of moderation, kindness, and regard. If they err, we should forgive them. If any questions of dispute arise between us depend ing on the doubtful constructions of treaties, we can afford that the construction shall be given in their favour. We should seek to do them good, watch every opportunity to do them good, and endeavour to introduce into their respective countries all those advantages which we derive from a higher and more enlightened state of civilization. Sir, there is only one mode by which you will attach the natives of India to your Government, and that is, by pursuing a policy which is calculated to conciliate their affections. lam quite satisfied that it is upon this foundation alone that the stability of our empire in India must depend. It is upon these grounds that I shall move the resolution which is now before the Court for its adoption.—(Hear, hear.) The lion. Maaconat LEWIN, in seconding the re solution, said,—Sr, 1 rise to second the resolution, and in doing so it is net my intention to detain the Court for more than a minute. The chief object I have in rising is to complain of this court being made special, as it would appear to me, for the purpose of overwhelming all o th er business. In the case which the Honour a bl e G ent l eman has brought forward there are three points with regard to the terms of the treaty, with regard to which it is impossible that any one can entertain a doubt. With regard to the words " heirs general," it is impossible to doubt that it ap plies to the person who now claims. With regard to the adoption, it is impossible to doubt that by the treaty the late Raja had the right of adoption, and that he has adopted a son who, by the llindoo law, is required to be a near relation. If this state is annexed to the British Governuent, of course to say that any thing like justice is done by its annexation, is to assert that which no man in his senses will dare to say. The CHAIRMAN then said—lt is not my intention to reply to the statements and arguments advanced as regards this case ; when the proper time arrives I shall be ready to express my opinion in regard to the appropriation of the Satara territory ; but, in fact, I aims not prepared for it now, and therefore shall not say a word in answer to the lion. Proprietor. I may state that the general question is sub judice. All the documents are before the directors, who will duly consider them, I am sure, with every attenti n to what is right and proper. I know they will act in consistency with the expressed opinion of this Court, that it is better to leave the matter at present in the hands of the executive whom the proprietors have no minated. All, therefore, I have to say is, that it will be in the recollection of the Court of Proprietors that, no longer ago than two or three months, a motion was made in substance precisely the same as this now be fore the Court of Proprietors. Under these circum stances, I am quite sure that I shall have the support of the Court in adopting the same course which was then teken—moving the adjournment of the Court. That is the course which was pursued on that occa sien, and certainly should again be followed, now the matter is under the consideration of the Court of Directors. I therefore move that this Court do now adjourn. LON 13 ON, FRIDAY it .w Er w Cri Oki ..q sz,Z.trA agAb' • rUBLICATIONS. ANOTHER ENLARGEMENT.

LOVE is the leading feeling of the human breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this 'ervour, this golden tide of the manliest a feelings becomes deadly poison in the heart, which n ow darkens, as it • before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most liun changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a fe time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tact-asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? it is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to he disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been iLstituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be heyond measure deplorable ! Loving And beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESE - R V ATION, illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa -101R5051 the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from Solitary habits, excesses, or• infection.

This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases. • CTIRISTMAS lIOLID } AYS.

TO THE LADII9. This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news_ paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. Mfrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor (unity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herbary, High ?ate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having cora pletely restored the hal r on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than sever was before the ba l d ness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony te - the virtues of Mr. G.'s aegenator, feeling assured t hat many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex eerience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in alaund ince, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume its far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any ady of respectability to the above Swan-street, Berough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weac, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mate it strong, and erevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the nair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the meet aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on ehildren's heads in a few appplications. If used on infsnts' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence en tine brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See amphlet of testimonials.

" That tha East India Company having, by the first article of • the treaty contracted with Maharaja Pertaub Sing on the 25th September, 1819, ceded till territory of, Sattara to the Raja of Sattara, his heirs and successors, in perptual sovereignty ; and having. by the first article of a treaty concluded on the 4th of September, 1839, with Maharaj Shajee (commonly called Appa Sahib), solemnly confirmed that article, the East India Company cannot alienate the territory of Sattara from the rightful heir of the Raja of Sattara without a grass violation of public faith, and without shaking the confidence of the native powers of India in the stability of the trea ties into which they have entered with the said Company. " That the seizure of the Sattara territory by the - East India Company, in virtue of a construction ar bitrarily put upon the said treaties by the stronger of the two contracting parties, would be a proceeding repugnant to every principle of justice, a breach of the law of nations, and calculated to cast a foul stain upon the character of that Company and the British Government.' " JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary." THE RAJASHIP OF SATTARA. Mr. LEWIS then rose, and addressed the Court as :ollows :—Sir, I regret to state to the Court that the Hon. Proprietor, Mr. Sullivan, whose name appears first in the list annexed to the resolution which is about to be submitted to the Court is unable to be present in consequence of the severe illness under which he is now suffering. I regret the circumstance most sincerLly, not only on his own account, but for the sake of the important question which is now about to come under consideration, and because we shall be deprived of the aid of his great talents accurate infor mation, strong and powerful eloquence, and that high position which he maintained in India as one of the most distinguished members of your service.— (Hear, hear.) Sir, the proposition involved in the resolution just read may b 3 thus shortly stated—that the alienation of the Sattara state by the British Government and its annexation to our own ter ritories in India would be a proceeding in co itravention of the plain terms of the treaty, against good faith, and a dishonour and stain on the British nation. That proposition depends obviously on the construction of two treaties ; the first entered into on the 25th of September, 1819, with Pertaub Shean, and the second entered into with his brother Apra Sahib, in 1839. But, sir, before I advert to the language of the treaty, I would admit at once in the outset (in order to disentangle the question from any confusion that might arise from the difference of opinion entertained on the guilt or innocence of the 'former Raja, Pertaub Shean), that that Prince, in con sequence of certain alleged acts of?discretion, did forfeit all the rights which were secured to him by the original treaty. I say, lir, I admit that hypo thetically, and for the sake of the argument, but only hypothetically, for as to the innocence of Pertaub Shean, nothing can ever change my strong and solemn conviction upon that point. We are all, sir, aware of the fact, that on the deposal of Pertaub Shean, the East India Company transfer red the raj to his brother Appa Sahib ; that that event took place under a supplemental treaty, dated the 4th of September, 1839, the first provision of which confirmed all the articles of the treaty of 1819 with certain modifications. Those modifications merely affected the rights of certain jagheerdars, whose rights had been the subject of dispute between the British Government and the Raja of Sattara. All the other provisions of the treaty of 1819, with that exception, were left intact and unimpaired. It is manifest, then, that the treaty of 1819, defines the rights of Appa Sahib as they did those of Pertaub Shean. Now, sir, by the first article of the treaty of Sep tember, 1819, the territories of Sattara were ceded by the British Government to Pertaub Shean, his heirs and successors, in perpetual sovereignty ; and the question is, what is the state, what is the extent of interest conferred and given by those expres sions to the Raja of Sattara. Those words are a translation of corresponding words in the Nab ratta treaty, and therefore for their force and meaning' we must look to the expressions employed in that treaty. Now if we advert to that document we find that those words are expressed by the native terms " Furzund, Warris, and Koyam Mookam." The first, " Furzund," imports children or son's direct lineal issue ; the word " Warris" means heirs general; and the word "Keyam Mookam," as I understand, refers to a person who is substituted for another — a successor. . e see, then, by referring to the Mahratta treaty, that the phrase made use of in he English translation, namely, "his heirs and successors," clearly and dis tinctly mean a cession of the Sattara territories to the Raja Pertaub Shean, his heirs lineal, and his heirs general, collateral, and that they also embrace and include, from the comprehensive terms used, an adopted child. Now, sir, what are the facts ? Appa Sahib, the last Raja of Sattara, who was placed upon the throne by the East India Company, is now dead, leaving no direct issue—no son—but leaving an adopted child, and leaving also an heir general by blood, his nearest descendant. I contend, sir, that the adopted son is entitled to suc ceed, and that if there has been no adoption, or if that adoption should be held invalid in consequence of some informality, then I contend that the heir general of Appa Sahib is entitled to succeed as a matter of right under the treaty of September 1819. I will address myself shortly first to the question of adoption. It appears to me that the treaty of 1819 confers the right of adoption by its comprehensive terms. This is apparent if we con sider the position of the two contracting parties before the treaty was entered into. On the one hand we have an Hindoo Sovereign, whose dynasty had been continued and per petuated by adoption ; and on the other hand we have the Honourable Monntstuart Elphinstone acting as the representative of the British Government, a loon deeply conversant with all liindoo usages, cus toms, and laws, who perfectly well knew that the law of adoption formed part of the law of inheritance of the Iliadooa. Not only so, but he also well knew that the dynasty of Sevajee had been kept up and per petuated by the law of adoption ; for I find in a letter of Mr. Elphinstone's to the Governor-General, written shortly after the treaty 18 1 was entered.int?, an d dated the 25th of October, 9, and which contained in the Sattara Papers—l find that he state i sl that "Sahoo Raja w as, on his death, in 1777 (he s here speaking of the lineage of t . he Sattara family), succeeded b y Sahoo, Ins adopted son, who was born of a remote branch of t h e family." Look in g , then, at the relative position of these part ies, and the knowledge that each of them possessed, is it not the fair, just, and necessary inference that, by the general words expressed and made use of in the treaty of 1819, the contracting; parties intended that the right of adoption should be conveyed and given. If the British Govern ment intended to exclude the right of adoption, was it not their duty, was it riot incumbent upon them to have explained themselves, and to have expressed themselves explicitly, and in terms which could not be mistaken upon the subject? If you look to the writers on the laws of nations you will see that they lay down this fundamental rule on the interpretation of treaties. I quote from Vattel's work, from the chapter on the interpretation o f treaties :—" If be who could and ought to have explained himself clearly and fully has not done it, it is the worse for him ; he I s e r d wi :hots ° n the cannot be allowed to introduce subsequent common . restrictions . which . he has not expressed This niaxttn sppefert:suiounnet. principles of honesty, for if it wa re otherwise, if it had pr c iv o i n le v g e e y s e , d aft n e n r ( - 1 wards to turn round and say, I did not mean that,' i e v r e e n to competent another any () or I want to exclude this, th a t, or th e other,' the f a ith of treaties would be at once at an end, and diplomacy would become mere mockery and chicanery, and he would he the ablest diplomatist who carried on the affairs of his state with the greatest peesible duplicity." Sir, it, is objected by some who do not doubt that the terms of the treaty of 1819 are come prehensive enough to include the right of adoption, that the adoption in this case is not valid, because Appa Sahib had not the antecedent permission of the British Government. I beg, respectfully to say, that the permission was not necessary in this case, and for this reason, because Appa Sahib was an indepen dent Sovereign. I admit that the doctrine is ap plicable to jagheerdars and other inferior feudatories ; it existed as between the Raja, as an independent Sove reign, and his jagheerdari and feudatories, it exists as between the British Government and their jagheedars and feudatories—those subordinate dependents who now hold under the British Government by virtue of the conquests we have made, as they formerly held under the Peshwa. I have been unable to find—l do not think any one will be able to show an instance where that doctrine has been maintained as between the British Government and native independent sove reigns. Each is the lord paramount (if I may say hat the the adoption right of were adoption,inval so) in his own country, and his own province. But. sir, if it were admitted that the treaty of 1819 did n m o i t t t includeed t f n it consequencetvead of the permission not having been obtained, I ask what then—is not the next heir by blood entitled under the clear and distinct terms of the treaty ? What is there that can exclude the heir general of Appa Sahib from succeeding to the raj. You have only to look at the words of the treaty itself which draws the distinction in terms you cannot mistake. The word " Furgund" points to children—the heirs lineal ; the word " Warris," alludes to heirs general and collateral, and the words " Koyam Mookam" denotes (ass is . translated into English) successors. Can there be a doubt 'then that heirs general are en titled to succeed ? I apprehend not. But, Sir, it is unnecessary for me to discuss this point, and for the best of all reasons, because the British Government itself—the East India Company—have put the same construction upon the treaty as the one I am con tending for. . The British Government has admitted that. under the treaty of 1819, Appa Sahib was en titled to succeed, not as a lineal heir, but as the next in succession, the next heir general and collateral. Let me call your attention to some passages on this point in the minutes of Sir James Carnac and Sir Robert Grant, when acting as your re presentatives, and, of course their statement binds you. "The British Government," says Sir James Carnac, "having no views of advantage or aggrandisement, has resolved to invest the brother and next in succes Edon to the Raja with the Sovereignty of the Sattara state." Now, I ask, in what right as next in succes sion ? Nof as lineal descendant, but as heir general, collateral under the treaty, for Appa Sahib was not the son but the brother of Pertaub Shean. Again, in another passage, Sir James Carnac observes, " There was only one person on whom the investiture could be conferred." (Sir James is here speaking of Appa Sahib.) For what reason, I ask, was he the only person on whom the investiture could be conferred ? Obviously because Sir James considered him to be the next heir entitled under the treaty. Again, Sir James Carnac remarks, " I know of no other family that can claim to succeed by hereditary right." By what hereditary right? Not as deriving title under his brother Pertaub Sheen, but as deriving title col laterally and under one person, who was the common ancestor of bath Princes. Sir Robert Grant takes the same view and puts the same construction upon the treaty, and in nether stronger terms, rather more, if I may use the expression, pointedly and practically. In a minute of Sir Robert Grant, contained in the Sattara Papers, at page 68, and in the thirteenth paragraph, you have these words. I will, however, first read the lest sentence of the antecedent para graph. It is not unworthy of your eolce. Sir R. Grant says, " I admit it is our sacred duty to keep down the expansions within the slowly progres sive boundary prescribed by actual and irresistible necessity. We ought not to snatch with eagerness at occasions of aggrandising our power or extending our territory, still less to seek a or caeate them, or we shall almost unavoidably be hurried into acts of in justice and cruelty." And then he goes on in the 13th paragraph, as follows—" Without reference s however, to the general considerations on which I have touched, there are particular circumstances which would make it difficult for us to appropriate the Sattara territory to ourselves. The Raja himself is guilty, but there is no evidence of guilt on the part of his brother or his cousin, who, after him, are in the immediate line of succession." Now, here is not a mere abstract opinion on the treaty, but one applied to the facts ; he tells you that the brother and the cousin are entitled to succeed after Pertaub Sheen. Again, in another passage in the 9th paragraph of his minute, dated Sept. 22, 1837, Sir Robert Grant, adverting to the subject of succession, says, " The question as to Ballajee Serraputte, which Colonel Ovens discusses in the 12th and four following para graphs is, in my opinion, far more doubtful ; he is the near relation of the Raja, and, supposing the Raja and the Raja's brother set aside, the proper re presentative of tile family." We ha"e, then, in the above extracts I have read to you, shown the con struction of the British Government itself on the treaty of 1819, at that time, clearly admitting that the person next in succession, that the person entitled, under the terms of the treaty, to succeed was not confined to lineal descendants, nor to the immediate issue of the person in possession, but embraced and included heirs collateral and heirs general. Now, sir, is it possible to believe the Court will adopt another construction—is it possible to believe that the Coult will deny, or repudiate, its own words ? Shall it be said that when certain motives and views did not actuate them ; when they were not bent on acquisition of territory,they put one con struction on the treaty, but when their motives and views changed—when extension of territory became their object—then, in order to carry those views and that object into effect, and for their personal benefit and aggrandisement they adopted another construc tion, which they found more convenient ? Sir, it appears to me that the case of the Raja of Setters in this instance, with reference to the point now in dis cussion, is, in fact, the case of all the native princes of India between whom and yourselves treaties of a similar character exist. If in this instance the right of adoption is denied, if in this instance the right of heirs general to succeed is repudiated, why, of course, it must be denied and repudiated in every other in stance. You had better at once proclaim the fact — you had better at once inform all the native princes of India who are bound to you by treaty, and let them know the worst, and not suf fer them to live and die under a delusion. Let them have an opportunity of understanding what their actual rights are, of knowing them,in order that they may be enabled, while living, to make some pro vision for their families and dependents, who, under this species of construction, must be consigned to misery, wretchedness, and degradation. Sir, it ap pears to me that the policy you are now pursuing, or rather which it appears is threatened to be pursued, is illiberal, selfish, and sordid; that it is a policy which is fraught with the greatest possible danger; teeming with apprehension, fear, and alarm—you ap- pear to me as though you were treading on volcanic ground. The fire seems to me smouldering beneath you. It is a policy which has been repudiated by some of the ablest and most distinguished statesmen whom India has produced—men who thoroughly un derstand the relations which subsisted between the native states of India and the East India Company, and who well know what course of policy ought to be pursued as the best calculated to promote the welfare of both parties. Now, let me call your attention to what is said by Sir John Malcolm on the policy to be pursued towards native states : " Considering as I do, from all my experience, that it is our policy to maintain as long as we possibly can all native states now existing, and through them, and by other means, to support and maintain native chiefs and an aristocracy throughout the empire of India, I do think that every means should be used to avert what I should consider as one of the greatest political calamities in a political point of view that could arise to our empire, the whole of India . becoming subject to and ever w our direct rule. India ever ha s • ill abound in bold and ambitious men, and our danger from them will increase in proportion as our system shall destroy the princes and chiefsabout t whom many o the elements we have most to fear are now in repose. Mr. Eiphinstone, than whom I need perhaps quote no higher authority on suc h su bj ec t s as these, says—" It appears to me to be our interest as well as our duly to use every means to preserve the allied Govern. ments ; it is also our interest to keep up the number of independent powers ; their territories afford a re fuge to all those whom habits of war, intrigue, or depredation make them incapable of remaining quiet in ours. If the existence of independent powers give occasional e mployment to our armies, it is far from being a disadvantage." Sir, the high authority of the Duke of Wellington is not wanting on this point. I observe in a letter from his Grace (then Sir Arthur Wellesley) to Sir Thomas Munro, there is this passage—the illustrious hake says : ARTHUR. WELLESLEY TO SIR T. MUNRO " Aug. 20, 1800.
