This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stared, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with huller ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the - regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that. tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseasea, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result froM certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both s exes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, See., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at l ea st), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, he directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupits are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to jute, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the ds astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual Consultation Fee of 1/., without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and s in all cases, the most, invinhhie secrecy may he relied on.

THE RAJA OF SATTAItA. INDIA HOUSE. Yesterda , Special General Court of the Proprietors of India St f. was held at their House in leadenhall street, for purpOse of considering the case of the ex llaa of Sattara. George Lyall, Esq., INT.P., the Chairman, accompa nied by most of the Thrector, entered the Court at twelve o'clock, when the minutes of the last Court were and confirmed. The CHAIRMAN having intimated the special nature of the business, called upon Mr. Lewis. but Mr. POYNDER begged to put a question to the Chair man before the business was proceeded with.—(Cries of " No, no.") He wished to know whether the Directors had received any answer to the despatch of the 3d March. The CHAIRMAN said that was a Special Court, and it was irregular to discuss any other matter. Mr. 'POYNDER said a simple ansiver to his simple question would not have occupied so much time. He was content, however, as he, understood that it would be competent for him to renew the question after the busi ness of the day had been gone through. I,l:lv's then rose to move " That, it appears from the papers laid before the Court of Proprietors in the case of the Baja of Sattara, that his Highnest" was ac cused of treasonable designs against the British Govern- ment, upon ex parte, anonymous, anti contradictory statements, without his having an opportunity. of de fending himself : That, he was called upon to sign a do cument admitting his guilt, as the condition of being continued on his Throne : That, on his refuSing to 'ac cede to this. extraordinary and degrading proposal— while asserting his innocence, and requesting to be in formed' of the charges against him, and the names of his accusers—he was suddenly, at midnight, removed from his Palace by a military force—deprived of his property —and sent a prisoner to Benares : That, such - a course Oc proceeding must have the effect of destroying the confidence of .the Nativo Princes of India, in the justice and honour of the British Government ; and, therefore, this Court recommends to the Court of Direc:ors, that a full and'fair investigation of the accusations against the Raja be forthwith instituted, by an impartial Committee to be appointed for that purpose ; and, in the event of the accusations not being substantiated, that the Raja be restored to that Throne which, according to the re• corded - opinion of the Court of Directors, he had for so many years adorned, by a course of conduct calculated to promote the prosperity of his dominions, and the happi ness of his people.' ' Before proceeding to argue the case he had to lay before the Court, lie begged to ask the Chairman whether the Court of Directors had received any communication on the subject from the Board of Con trol. and, if so, would it be read to the Court. The CITAIRMAN—No, We lure received no communi cation. Mr. LEWIS, in bringing the question relating to the treatment of the Raja of Sattara before the Court, said he was anxious to assure them that he did not wish to impute motives to any one, nor in any manner to assail private character ; he considered the question as one of public policy upon a measure which vitally concerned the character of the Indian Government. Many indivi duals had been connected with the transaction, and if their conduct in it was unjust, harsh, or at variance with Christian policy, it was then not only the privilege of the Proprietors, hut it was their - bounden duty, to characte rise such conduct in such a manner as it seemed to them to deserve; it was their duty to scrutinize - the conduct of such individuals; to make it the subject of remark, and, if necessary, to make it the subject of animadver sion. On a former day he had stated his inten tion of arraigning the Government of India be fore public opinion, for their harsh and oppressive treatment of the ex-Raja of Satara. They had brought three distinct charges against the Raja—first, that the Raja had been guilty of an attempt to seduce some Sepoys from their allegiance to the English ; second, that he had carried on a treasonable correspondence with the ex- Raja of Nagpore ; and thirdly, that he had carried on a treasonable correspondence with the Portuguese Go vernor of Goa. Now, with reference to the first charge, it appeared to him the evidence of the Sepoys was not at all conclusive ; it was not supported, it did not ap pear that there was anything in it which connected the Raja with it even if it had ever been done. The Brah min, who appeared to have been the chief mover in the affair, admitted in his cross-examination that the whole affair was a conspiracy which had been entirely concocted by himself for the purpose of revenging himself upon the Raja. It was admitted, indeed it was proved in the plainest manner, that there existed in the minds of the Sepoys much ill-feeling towards the Raja, because some time previously he had given orders for the removal and consequent destruction of their huts. In the evidence of Captain Stock, he expressly said that the Sepoys expressed great satisfaction at the death of some of the Raja's horses and cattle on that Around, and from the same evidence it appeared that the Brahmin held out some threats towards the Raja, and said lie would soon see. the result of his conduct. The whole order of the Brahmins entertained towards the Raja the most intense hatred—that was shown by the evidence of a Proprietor, whom he was - happy -to •see on the other side of .the Bar.—(Hear, hear.) General Robertson on a former oc casion said It may help the Court to come to a de cisionon the question now before it, to state that I can assert, of my own knowledge, that the Raja had many reckless and influential enemies ; and particularly that he had incurred the enmity of the Brahmins ; and as it was on religious grounds that their enmity was founded, their hostility partook of all that deadly hatred which is so often mixed up in polemical disputes. I may add also, that there are no persons so unscrupulous as Brah mins when they have ft Brahminical object to carry. Every thing which is likely to promote their views, however unprincipled, is then resorted to, for they think that, in such a cause, the end hallows the means.. So strong were the impressions which I entertained in re gard - to the enmity of the Brahmins towards his High ness, that in my last Report to the Government, on leaving Sattara, I thought it proper pointedly to advert to the subject, and the following is what I then said On my taking leave of his Highness at Maholee, he expressed his gratitude and attachment to the British power in terms of sincerity that cannot be questioned ; and after I had bidden him adieu, he recalled me to re peat them and to impress them more strongly on my memory, as well to request :hat I would not only assure the Right Honourable the Governor in Council of his feelings, but also state them to the Honourable Mr. Elphinstone in England ; and his last words were—' I have no friend but the English Government, and my sole reliance is on it. I have many enemies—this you know—but no friends but the English.' I believe, among his many enemies, his Highness considers the Brahmin tribe as the most numerous and most virulent and influential. Setting aside the recollection of the dis cussions that have taken place on points of religion, I may state that, upon political grounds, there exists much jealousy and on the part of that race to his High ness, merely because his restoration to the possession of that small' share of power and importance which he now enjoys, results from the political overthroW of the Brah min power. Many of that tribe still retain considerable territories and revenues in his Highness's vicinity, and though most of•them had, from time to time, feuds with the late Paishwa, still, as they owed all their original importance to the Paishwas subsequent to the usurpations of the Raja's ancestors, it is certain that they have viewed with regret what has been done for him ; not only be cafise they think his Highness must look upon them with disfavour, as deriving their wealth from the misfortunes of his ancestors, but also as belonging to that class through whose instrumentality these misfortunes were experienced ; and that his Highness entertains these feelings, and also that they influence him in rendering him as neutral as possible in the differences between the Purvoes and the Brahmins, seems very probable. How ever this may be, his Highness has too much good sense to make any display of his feelings, in the little inter course which he has with his Brahmin neighbours, and in this he has an advantage over them, for they do not equally observe the courtesy that is due to him on such occasions ; and, as members of.the Brahmin caste, they, and more especially Chinaman Row, have been most active in exciting a spirit of opposition in their tribe to his Highness, and in aiding and supporting those who carry it on. Manifestoes describing him as an enemy to the Hindoo faith have emanated from them, and been dispersed all over the Deccan and Hindoostan, to which his Highness has never condescended to offer any reply." In fact, the Raja had many enemies and no friend, ex cept the English, and the Court would at once see the motives and springs of the conspiracy against him. They saw the ill feeling which existed in the breasts of the Sepoys on the one hand, while, on the other, they had the confession of the Brahmin, the. chief, nay, the sole author of the conspiracy A Commission of In quiry was instituted. They prosecuted their inquiries, and they made their Report, in which they stated it as their opinion that the Raja was guilty of the charges pre ferred against him ; but how they arrived at that opinion was to him most marvellous. He could not conceive how they came to such a conclusion. However, it was sonic consolation, under these circumstances, to find that one of the Commissioners had the manliness to say, " That no act of my life I regret so much as having signed the Commission without appending my protest." It was some consolation to find Mr. Shakespeare, a Com missioner, saying— . " I cannot agree with the Bombay Government, that it is expedient to adopt a middle course in this ease. " If the Baja is guilty, he is guilty of an offence with which there should be no compromise. The Bombay Government convict the Ruja of attempting to corrupt the fidelity of our troops, and of •plotting the subver sion of our rule (to say nothing of an item in the plot, according to the Brahmin's account, that the European troops were to be got rid of by bribing the bakers to poison their bread), and yet propose to leave him in the possession of power to renew these attempts, whenever his plans may be better organized than they were on the late occasion. . " Fur my part, I am not satisfied with the evidence against the Raja, and would therefore acquit him alto gether, instead of adopting the half-measure which, in my humble judgment, even supposing him to be guilty, is neither reconcilable with public justice nor with sound policy. It is, no doubt, difficult to divest the affair of all suspicion ; but when we reflect on the utter want of basis (as far as we yet know) on which the plot could have been founded, the improbable manner in which the Brahtnin (Untajee) commenced his seduction of the Soobadars, the total unworthinesS of his evidenCe, the discrepancies between the stories first told by the booba- Bars and their subsequent depositions before the Com missioners, and the absurd terms in which the Raja is said to have announced to - the Soobadars the signs of coming events, I confess I look in vin for any thing tangible or solid, in the shape of proof, for my mind to rest upon." There was some consolation also in the fact that the grounds and reasons stated by the Commissioners as those upon which they had made up their minds as to the guilt of the Raja were stated in their report. . Hon. Proprietors would read diem, and then they would won der at the conclusion to• which they had come. That Report, and the proceedings of the Commission, were transmitted to the Governor-General, and his opinion upon them elicited—it was one of unqualified disapproba tion. Let us look at what his Lordships aid. In his let ter of the 2d October, 1837, he says— . "1. Sir —I am desired by th e Right Honourable the Governor-General of India in Council to acknowledge the receipt of your several letters, dated the 30th August, and Ist and 4th ultimo, together with their respective enclosures, relative to intrigues at Sattara. "2. Copies of the letters to your address, dated the 7th, 21st, and 31st of July, referred to in the Acting Resi dent's letter of the 12th ultimo have not been furnished to the Governor-General in Council ; but, judging from the evidence which accompanied your communication now acknowledged, his Lordship in Council has no hesi tation in stating that his worst a pprehensions, as ex pressed in the concludin g paragraph of my letter to your address, dated th e 7th August, as to the ' danger of be coming involved in an indefinite and inconclusive in quiry,' have every appearance of being fully realized. mightrle:dizeti. "3. The Governor-General in Council had mainly re lied oa the result .of th e investigation wbe instituted, consequent on the alleged petition of the Dewan's mother, fkm. a SOhl tiN444,:allY doubts which might be entertained as to the accuracy of the conclu sions formed by the Commission on the occasion of the previous inquiry, and for something more of intelligible i precision in ts results. By the Report of the Commis sion, the Raja of Satan), was left suojeet to the imputa tion of every shade of guilt, from that of lending him self to the machinations of the evil-disposed, under the influence of discontent and partial insanity, and irritated by supposed ill-usage, up to that of an extensive treason, in a great degree matured, and having for its object the entire overthrow of. the British power in India. Much of the evidence by which even this imperfect result was obtained was uncertain and unsatisfactory ; and whilst his Lordship in Council was willing to place confidence in the judgment of the Commission, he felt that the case was incomplete, and that to justify the Government in any strong and final measure further information was absolutely necessary. But from all the papers which have since come before him, he has seen in creased.reason to doubt whether any certain grounds of action can possibly be obtained amidst the intrigues,. the . personal animosities, and the exaggerated rumours of all descriptions, by which the investigation into the petty and *cure details of the supposed treasonable proceedings of the Raja has been surrounded and em barrassed. " 4. The evidence relative to the alleged intercourse of the Raja of Sattara with the ex-Raja of Nagpore, na detailed in the documents which accompanied ' your letter of the Ist ult., is, in the opinion of his Lordship in Council, in the higheit degree suspicious. The alleged communication between Yellojee Bappoo and the ex- Raja of Nagpore is admitted to have originated in some domestic concern. The evidence of that individual and his servant are full of discrepancies ; and it was only after repeated cross-examinations that they were induced to implicate the Raja of Sattara as having any know ledge of the communications. It is remarkable that Yellojee is represented as having been the person through whose means the intercourse between the Raja of Sattara and the ex-Rgja of Nagpore was first act on foot ; and yet the two witnesses, Abba Mareek and his servant .Wittoo, deposed that the latter was sent to Joudpore to ask whether Yellojee Bappoo sent people there. 5. The Governor-General in Council sees little or I nothing in the evidence recorded in the documents which accompanied your letter of the 4th nit. to incul pate the Raja. There is no direct evidence against his Highness of any kind, as regards the supposed intrigue with the Hubshee, save that. the Hubshee s Vakeel, who was a relative of Bulwunt Row Chitnavees, was intro duced to his Highness ; that the Raja read a letter and afterwards threw it into the fire, and that he received present of cocoa-nuts from Bulwunt Row Chetnavees. Against the last-named individual no criminality is esta blished. There is nothing of a treasonable nature in the paper found concealed in the doll, and if there was, evidence has been given to prove that he (the Chitin.- yen) was not the author of its contents. His Lordship in Council, of course, attaches no weight to the unsup ported rumours of intrigues in all directions, alluded to by the witnesses whose depositions accompanied your letter of the 4th ult. His Lordship in Council observes, thatahe-expressiona-trOtained in_tha, sixth ,paragraph of your letter to the Acting ReSiitiajt, that the witness Wittul Row Parisnees saw himsblf poshak (clothes), `and a sword sent to the Raja from the Hubstiee,',would appear to imply more than was actually stated by the witness, as his Lordship in Council cannot discover that Wittul Row asserted he saw the things in question ac tually sent to the Raja. " 6. As for the alleged combinations with the Portu guese, and with Arabia, alluded to in the documents which accompanied your letter of the 31st ultimo, the Governor-General in Council could not but regard such plots (even had the accounts which had been furnished of them seemed less improbable than they do), to be too extravagant to be entertained for a moment by any person in his senses ; while it appears from the report of the Commission that the Raja of Sattara, is by no means deficient in understanding. - . • • • • " 7, The Acting Resident, in the ninth paragraph of his letter to your address dated the 12th ultimo, observes, the time necessary to bring these proceedings to a close will necessarily be prolonged. And with reference to this declaration, to the length of time which has already elapsed since this investigation commenced, and to the excitement and alarm which inquiries so extended and protracted must necessarily occasion, I am desired to repeat the suggestion contained in the concluding para graph of my letter, dated the 7th August, and yet more strongly .to urge-the inconvenience and uncertainty of these proceedings, and the absolute necessity of bring ing them to an early termination. In the hopelessness that all further evidence will be otherwise than incon clusive, and looking to the utmost degree of criminality, which in any view of the testimony before the Commis sion may be regarded its clearly and absolutely esta blished, looking, too, to the interval which has since elapsed in inquiries leading- to no further definite and important disclosures, his Lordship in Council would gladly find that the Right Hon. the Governor in Coun cil is disposed to concur with him in opinion, and would close the proceedings ; apprising the Raja that, although several suspicious circumstances ,regarding his highness have been elicited during the progress of this inquiry, yet the British Government is unwilling, without the clearest proof of guilt, to condemn any of its allies, especi ally one who has been so pre-eminently the object of its, favour and generosity ; that further investigation is deemed inexpedient with reference, to the general incon venience it creates ; and that the Right lion. • the Go-; vernor in Council is therefore pleased to close the • in quiry, with the expression of his hops-that the Raja will so conduct himself 6a- the future as to avoid the predica ment (no less painful to the British Government than to his Highness) in which he has recently been placed. "8. As regards the Dewan, who is now understood to be in confinement at Alunednuggur, his Lordship in Council observes, that if the suggestion contained in this letter should be adopted, the-liberation of the individual in question will probably, follow the cessation of further inquiry into the conduct of the " I have the honour, &c.. (Signed) "W. 11. MACNALTGIITEN, "Secretary to the Government of India. " Fort William, October 2, 1837." , and subsisting on his benevolence. This was the man with whom it was alleged the Raja was corres ponding treasonably with. Now, what were the facts ? It appeared that, between 1832 and 1836, there had been a correspondence between two persons in the respective countries, but it was entirely of a private nature, and altogether unconnected with politics. The charge made against him was, that he wrote to the ex- Raja, stating that he had still two years and a half to collect troops to drive out the English from India ; the Russians were coming by Constantinople, and if he had any interest with the Turks he was to use it, and, at the same time, he was to be at liberty to mention his (the Raja's) name. It was too ridiculous for any one to put credence in, and if true, could only be ac counted for by supposing the Raja to be insane. The Commissioners, however, proved that such was not the case, for they gave bim great credit for his ability and promptitude in business. Even the Governor-General appeared to acquit the Raja upon the second charge. -The third charge made against him was, that he had been guilty of carrying on a treasonable correspondence with the Portuguese Governor of Goa. Now, it was to be borne in mind that Portugal was in close alliance with England during the whole of the . time the corre spondence was alleged to have been carried on. What were the facts of the case ? It - was said that this trea sonable correspondence bad been continued for twelve years. A Brahmin was introduced to the Raja ; he had been strongly recommended to him, but there was not the slightest evidence to show that he had ever employed him. It was obvious that the whole , case turned upon. those papers. But was the agency of Nago Deorao proved? Was he proved to be the servant of the Raja of Sattara? Why it was shown in evidence that the only interviews he had had with the Raja during twelve years were three ; and it was also distinctly shown that Nago Deorao was acting as the .agent of another party. But suppose he was the agent of Raja of Sattara, it must . be shown that the Raja was acquainted with the purport • of these letters, and that had not been done. It was stated that these were the original letters which had passed between the Raja of Sattara and Don Manoel, the Governor of Goa., and they were found in the pos session of Nago Deorao. But was it possible that the Raja would permit the individual to write whatever let ters lie liked to the Governor of Goa ? Again, let thain consider the nature of these letters. They were to the effect that the Governor of Goa should induce the Queen of Portugal to send 30,000 men to drive the English out, and take possession of Hindostan, and then that the empire should be divided between the Raja of Sattara and the Portuguese Government. —(Hear, hear, hear.) The very circumstance of the Portuguese Government being in alliance with . the British Government, would lead any man of common sense to treat that proposition as absurd.—(Hear, hear.) -These were the charges which it was supposed the Raja was guilty of, and these were the wild, vidonary, and absurd circumstances which they now brought forward and supported. It was his intention to conclude with a motion that the Court of Directors would consent to a full and fair investigation of all the circumstances, and allow the Raja an opportunity of defending himself from the charges that had been. brought against him. So far as he had already gone, he thought he had stated enough to show that the evidence did not support the charges. But the fact was, it was unnecessary for him to go so far, for he was not required to go into any case until he was called upon for his defence. He contended that the Raja had not been heard—(Hear, hear)—he contended that he had been condemned without a hearing—(Hear, hear)—and would any Proprietor or Director deny that fact ? (Cheers.) With regard to the treasonable correspon alence which the Raja was alleged to have carried on with the ex-Raja of Nagpore and the Governor of Goa, nobody would deny that the Raja scarcely knew of them, much less could be called upon to defend himself from them. He knew nothing either of his accusers or of the evi dence that had ben given. —(Hear, hear.) It might be said that, with regard to the first charge, he had an op portunity of defending himself ; but the Court would not deny that he had no . fair opportunity of doing so ; and ~-ould call the attention of the Proprietors to that e Report of the Commissioners. General Lod feeling of justice by which he had distin guished himaelt. gyring the whole of those proceedings, his Highness the Raja of Sat proposed at the comoiencement that., as the inquiry was rt 7 of t a ho P u ri r n i c t e ish of G t o E r m ou p e i n re t: l explained to him, and t i l mlortaoCP o x p l a i e r e t o ,: f n .v * s a x Wall, affecting his sti* and his character as an al: that he should have the charges : 41 1. 1 Y that he should be allowed an Engh: ll advocate to conduct his defence. That proposal was rej ,aeted, and finally abandoned, although it was the course whi: l i justice ob viously and necessarily pointed ont. The Comm,>sioners examined witnesses for thirteen or fourteen days, M:'( -1 it was then considered necessary that the Raja should have some information of what was going on ; and General Lodwick proposed that they should wait upon the Raja at his palace to communicate the charges, and give him an.opportunity of answering them. But this would not suit the Commissioners. He must be dragged - as - a criminal before them, and in his usual spirit of ,submis sion to their orders, he went at once.—(Hear, hear.) It is a fact, that throughout the whole affair the Raja had evinced the utmost readiness to comply with their wishes; and whatever witnesses were required were at once pro duced. The Raja appeared at once before the Commis sioners, and Mr. Willoughby read the evidence of the Soobadars. Mr.Willougby said if the Baja had been led into error, his best course would be to acknowledge it, and throw himself upon the mercy of the British Gov ernment. It was clear from this that the minds of the Commissioners were made up as to the guilt of the Raja.—(Hear, hear.) The Raja denied the charges in tote, and asserted his perfect innocence. He was asked if he would like to have a copy of the evidence ' • but Whether it was given to him or not did not appear. Now he would ask, was that a fair trial ? It was one of the fundamental, and one of the noblest maxims of their law, that no man should be condemned unheard, and he wished to know why, in the case of the Raja, it had been infringed on ? In England the protection was ex tended to the meanest individual. He might be guilty of innumerable offences, but he could not be permitted to stand forward on his trial without an opportunity of defending himself. In proportion to the magnitude of the crime and the greatness of the punishment, in the same proportion did the law throw round him every pro tection and security that was consistent with .justice. Thus, in the case of treason, was an individual hurried to his defence like the Raja? No, he was . allowed so many days before the trial, a copy of the depositions, a list of the witnesses, and a copy of the indictment, in order that be might know the charge. It would be in the recollection of the Court that a remarkable instance occurred in the case of the Chartist insurrection, in which Frost and others were concerned. There was a case in which the, persons were found actually guilty, and because all the requisites required by the law were not complied with they had nearly escaped punishment ,al together. In fact it was a principle recorded in the pages of the Constitution that every man should have . a fair opportunity given him for his defence. In fact, throughout the whole course of the proceedings it never entered into the minds of any party that the Raja was to be deposed without having an opportunity of meeting those charges.— (Ikar, bear.) The Governor-General, it appeared, had changed his opinion on the subject, but he had assigned no grounds whatever for that change of opinion —(Hear, hear)—and he should, therefore, prefer his original opi nion, when all the facts of the case were before him. In his despatch of Dec. 23, 1838, he said— " We are called upon, I feel, by very strong conside rations of propriety and expediency, to bring the guilt of the Baja to the test of a final proof, by the best and most just process which can be devised ; and then, if he should have been unable to exculpate himself, to re move him from a throne of which he will have shown himself to be eminently undeserving." He would ask, did the Governor ever dream of deposing him without a trial ? Never ; for, on the contrary, in another part of the despatch, he observes - "As the first step, I would, as suggested by Sir Ro 'bort (rant, request that the Raja should be furnished with a written statement, embodying a full and clear detail of the facts connected with the several. charges, anil, of the names (with any reservations which may be abs r oTntely required for the safety of the party) of the witnesses by whom they are proved, with a notice of the circumstances under which the evidence was ob tained, and call'for from him, within a certain reason ' able' time to be fixed, a similar written statement of whatever he may desire to urge in his own behalf. The Acting` Resident will, of course, take care, by every means in power, to see that his guarantees to wit nesses are, in letter and spirit, fully maintained. That was opposed by the Resident at Sattara, because it was inconvenient to do so, and that seemed to have in fluenced the Governor-General in his change of opinion. although he still seemed to think that it was necessary and proper, for in his minute of the 29th of December, 1838, lie says:— The reasons urged by the Resident, and concurred in by the Governor in Council, are sufficient to satisfy me, that it would not be right. to persevere in the course which I had previously recommended, and to present to the Raja a written statement of the charges and the proofs against him, calling upon him for an answer. It is anticipated by the Resident, that this course would lay the Government open to such proceedings on the part of the Baja and his advisers, as could only lead to fresh embarrassments, and would, at the same time, ex- pose every witness whose evidence has been given to cruel persecution. " The course which has been next recommended as open to the Government is, the suspension of the .Baja from his functions of sovereignty, and the appointment of a Commission to sit in judgment upon him The sus pensionof a person so placed as is the Raja of Satt ara , against whom a strong prima facie case has been esta blished, and whose conduct appears from every report to be unscrupulously vindictive, seems, in the event of a new trial to be decided upon, to he essential to the pro ; tection of Witnesses, and to the fairness of proceeding on the part of the accusation. Yet the measure would wear a harsh' appearance, and be argued as a predetermination to convict. Notwithstanding, however, these objections, [ it appears to be essentia l, as a preliminary t o any pro . cee mg b2aring the character of a final trial. •« The tribunal for trial might, perhaps, be best consti tuted, by the appointment of three of the most impartial ; and exper:enced members of the services, whom it would probably be expedient to take from Madras and Bengal. Buticonfess that, loOkitig to the • Manifold inconveni ences of such a mode of trial, to the measures of import ance, and to the subjects of interest and excitement by Mr. Shakespear, one of the: Coininis§on, disagreed] with the Commissioners, and protested against their de-• vision. In addition tothat the Court of Directors were in favour of .the Raja. Ile had a right to say . so, for a despatch,was sent out by them stigmatizing the whole of the proceedings. Therefore, in the Raja's favour, there was the G overnor-General, one of the Commissioners, who inquired into the , whole affair, and the Court of Directors, all of them characterizing the proceedings against him as being seriously detrimental to..the cha- • meter of the Indian . Government. Perhaps some of the Indian Proprietors who entertained different views • to what he did might follow him, and say that the Brah min had made a confession implicating the Raja. He (Mr. L.) admitted that he (lid make what was called a confession ; but when the Court was put in possession of • the facts relating to that confession—of the mariner in which that confession had been made, they would scout it. It appeared that, in March 1837, a petition from Sattara was presented to the Bombay Government. Now that petition (lid not appear on the face of the-pro ceedings at all. It was kept back, why he did not know—lie had net been able to see it. That petition was sent to Sattara by the Bombay Government, with instructions directing that a full inquiry might take place. Now, what was the course pursued by the Com missioners? The petitionovas supposed to be from the mother of the Dewan, Govind Row. ACCordingly he was taken and placed in still closer confinement, -in order to induce her to communicate some intelligence to the Pre sident. The mother of the Dewan had, fur a long time, been suffering great distress upon.his account. His closer confinement soon reached his mother's ears, and she communicated with the Commissioners, •solhiting an in terview. It was granted, and it took place at Midnight; and a pretended confession was obtained. But .could they put faith in any evidence obtained under such circum stances? Could they rely upon evidcpe ve RePtin h?pe l ed working on the agonized feelings of a parentm of obtuining the release of her son? He' .V 4 94 ear= lessly put it to the Court, whetherAht4onld place any credit on such evidence; , eWrt) if it did inculpate the Raba, which 'Amid ~it did not. As well m ight' they give credence ev i_ dene obtained from a poor wretch suffering upon the wheel.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted, then, they Would hear nothing that day of such a confession. He now came to the second charge made against the Raja,—that he had been guilty of carrying on a treas(inable correspon dence with the ex-Raja of Nagpoor. Now, who was this with wh an he was charged with corresponding ! Was he in po'ver, and likely to be able to assist in driving die English from India ? No, —he was deposed by the at the Court of -English,--he was tt fugitive, residing PRICE 5d which the Government is already occupied, and especi ally, to the possibility that no part of this course would be approved by the lion. Court, I cannot bring myself to recommend its immediate adoption." And he concludes by leaving the question entirely to the decision of the Court of Directors at home. Now, the Governor-General of Bombay, when he received orders to put an end to all further inquiries, observed, that it was due to themselves that the inquiry should be continued. lie (lid not consider that it was due to the Government or the public, but he thought it due to themselves that, the inquiry should be continued. In his minute of the 31st May, 1838, Sir Robert Grant put the question in a very strong light, and he begged to call the attention of the Court to it : " It will be asked, however, whether he is to be con demned without the opportunity of defending himself. The Raja has not been told of the evidence taken by Lieut.-Colonel Ovans, and undoubtedly has a right to be heard in his own vindication. I have never meant other wise, although I do not think that he will vindicate him self successfully. In my minute of the 15th August 1837, lam farther strongly of opinion, that before the case is conclusively disposed of, the Raja should be made acquainted with the fresh evidence which has been eli cited against him, and should be allowed the opportunity of offering defence or explanation.' I repeat that opi nion ; not meaning that there should be merely the form or farce of a trial, to be closed by a ready-made judg ment, but that the defence should be fairly heard and impartially weighed. Se far as this Government should be called. to decide on that defence, it would be my honest endeavour to discharge my mind of all my pre vious opinions on the subject, and to judge the case as if I heard it for the first time. But if it be thought that the Bombay Government is too strongly prepossessed with the guilt, of the llaja.to be placed in the chair of judgment over. lis Ilighness,let the Government of India constitute, in any manner which they think fittest, an impartial and competent judicature for the occasion." It was on these grounds that he asked that the Raja might have a trial, and that he might have an opportunity of meeting these charges. He asked the Court of Directors to grant it for th e sake of their own consistency, fin- they had all along denounced those proceedings as seriously detrimental to the Govern ment. He aske them. then, fin. the sake of consis tency—he asked them for the honour and character of the British Government—he ssked them in the name of thatjustice which had been violated and outraged in the present case—he asked them in the name of the common Christianity which told them not only to do justice, but to mingle mercy with justice—he asked them to give him a full, afair, and an impartial hearing. Mr. Lewis con cluded by . moving his resolution, and sat down-amidst loud. cheering. _ _ _ Mr. Davin SALOMONS seconded. the • motion of his Hon. and Learned Friend, and said it was not his inten tion to go into any lengthened details, as had occupied the Court, he feared, at too great length on a former occasion. Hz: wished, however, to explain the reasons why,. on the last occasion, he had moved for further papers rather than concur in the motion which had been submitted to the Court. There were many points in the case which had not been clearly brought under the consideration of the Proprietors, and he was anxious that that should be done before the case was again sub mitted to their consideration. He would not go into the details of the evidence for the purpose of showing that the Raja was not guilty of the charges brought against him, because it was sufficiently apparent, on the face of the official documents, that the authorities themselves were of opinion that he should have had an opportunity of replying to these charges. But he would show that the East India Company were themselves the first sinners, by breaking the treaty and compact they had entered into with the Raja.—(Cheers.) Even if ' a doubt had existed, he did not think it was the duty of the Government to have insicted upon the original terms; and if they had complied with the treaty, these unfortu nate transactions never would have taken place.—(Hear, hear.) It was perfectly true that the East India Com pany had set up the territory of Sattara, and the Raja was selected to preside over it, being, by all the letters and papers transmitted to that country; a very superior person; and he (Mr. Salomons) did not think that the znhabitants of India were possessed of so much informa tion and talent as was ascribed to the Raja. The terms on which the territory was ceded to him, were set forth as follows : " Terms fixed by Captain James Grant, Sahib Bahadoor, on the part of the Honourable Company, Bahadoor, with Rao Sahib Mooshfuk Mirhban Chimnajee, Pun dit Suchew. " The possessions of : the Punt Suchew came under the British Government, along with the. rest of the country; but the antiquity and respectability of the family having been duly considered, the British Governme n t h av e f ree ly :;:,s!owed and made over to him the whole of his posses sions N formerly held up to the war, with the exception of his pc•isessions within the territory of the Nizam. The districu :)f the Punt being within the limits of the territory made Ever by treaty to his Highness the Raja of Sattara, the Pubt. therefore is placed under the go vernment of his llighnbz , s; the British Government is the guarantee, and the terms af.9 fixed as follows." - And then the conditions wen? set out, which it was not necessary for him to state. In page 20 of the Additional rapers, he found a document headed . _ " Agreement on the part of his Highness the Raja of Sattara, respecting the Rajee Sree Chimnajee, Pundit Suchew, to whom these commands are issued. ‘• The country formerly possessed by you has been freely restored and bestowed through the liberality of the British Government, and an agreement. consisting of 10 articles, has been made out and delivered to you by Captain James Grant, Bahadoor, on the part of the Bri tish Government. Your country has come within the limits of the territory made over to his Highness by the treaty with the British Government, which having been approved of, the Huzzoor, for the purpose of confirming you in possession, has determined as follows." So that, in fact, the Raja of Sattara made a grant under the sanction of the East India Company of that very territory which was now a matter of dispute ; and if any doubt existed upon the subject, it would be removed by the letter of Lieutenant-Colonel Robertson, the Resident at Sattara, to the Secretary of the Government, dated 13th of August, 1827, in which he says— " I have the honour to state, for the information•of the Honourable the Governor in Council, that the Punt Su chew, who has no offspring, having been for some 'time past in a declining state of health, applied, about the time of my arrival here, to his Highness for permission to adopt ft successor to his estates. This was duly intimated to me by the Vakeels of the Suchew, and also by his Highness, who, at the same time, apprized me that he was engages in preparing various papers which he con sidered nece,'sdry to enable the British Government and his own to cone to a decision on this subject." He contended, t;:erefore, that when the Company's agent set up a claim for ,;he territory they were not justified in so doing, and that IN:as borne out by the testimony of General Lodwick. That point was, in his opinion, therefore, finally .disposed . of. The next thing was the question of character, and io such a case the opinion of an eye-witness was very important. He would state to them the opinion of Colonel Robertson, who was the Resident at Sattara in 1831:—. 24. The Raja entered on the .CLities when wholly confided to him, with zeal and a sincere' Clesire to meet the expectation of Government ; but his efrorts will re quire every support, and every reliance may be placed on his prudence. No good was effected, but much ill, by dividing authority and influence ; and this, I re4Nrect fully beg to recommend, should be carefully avoided for the future ; and that those jealousies of his Highnes which the followers of the young boy chief will doubtless infuse into his mind, and which will not fail to take deep root, -and prove in the sequel the source . of much evil may be guarded against ; I have hesitation in say i ng that the more he 'can enjoy the . , /advantages i• his Highness's society and personal example, and the more intimately he knows the motivescalcula ted of 'his conduct, the licher. No ' iiteasure' . to produce worse consequences than Which, in a manner; draws, a , mu, that - 'cePlmsrioraus tion (except for a few days ,annually of intercourse) between his IfighneSs and the. ; boy. 'l t a p ., pears to stamp with the Concurrence of the Briti s h .Go vernment all the libels „and 2.4,,re1.n. tereste in es str a ir? t to i°l;ls bis a g m a i i n n d s ! t his Highness which the It gives them a plea for saying, that the Honourable Board are of their opihiob'; fnd thus the: breach is widened by the very means adopted to prevent its being so. It is not to the point. thatsuch from such premises are not just.' :conclusions drawn This is not known to a child ; and as he grows in years he will grow strong in antipathy and hatred to Prince ; and what may be the result of such impressions iol‘ is it may not be, difficult to foretell, considering reckless of consequences na tives often are, ss'ten l actuated by powerful ; would, therefore, suggest that, for the boy's sake, and for the sake of the peace of the country, all restrictions be taken off his residing at bittara, if the Raja deem it advisable. Government have every security for the boy's safety in th e hi g h responsibility of his Highness, and every guarantee for his being properly trained for his station in society, in the pride which his Highness takes in the creditable discharge of every incumbent duty, as well as in the desire which I know he feels to eradicate those prejudices already imbibed against him by the minor, and to substitute in their place, sentiments of confidence, attachment, and gratitude." He had reason, therefore, to assume that he was a man of that character, because it had been vouched for also by other residents, and he had reason also to believe that much that had been imputed to the Raja had been brought against him by his enemies, and that he was in capable of committing the crimes imp uted to him. It seemed incredible that, during the time that Court was complimenting the Rain, he should have been concocting the vilest intrigues and plo ts, and he heheved that such proceedings were altogether inconsistent with his cha racter. Sir Robert Grant was . au74ilitts that inquiry should take place, under the convie i tion. that there wits room for suspicion ; and even, at tie eleventh hour, he thought it would be bec omin g in that Court to consider -estior • that it being one wh ich affected the character „ of the East India Compa n y' throu g hout the world. In the course of the morning a document had come into his hands which he believed to have been accidentally with held, and therefore had not been seen by many of the Proprietors. That document would clear up a great deal of the mystery connected with these transactions. 111 r. MA muoT thought the HOn. Proprietor was rather Ont,of'iirder in charging the - Met:tors with withholding any document. Mr. SAl,oxoNs denied that hc had made any such i ht "7 , MORNING SUN. charge.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped, however, he would be allowed to take his own course. He would now read to the Court the three propositions of Sir James Carnac and his propositions thereupon :-- " The differences between the Raja of Sattara and the British Government have been fully investigated, and the facts connected with them so fully brought to notice by my predecessor in office and my present col leagues, that it is quite unnecessary now to enter into any minute review of them. I think it has been clearly established, that the Raja has for years carried on an ir regular and unwarranted intercourse with the Portu guese authorities at Goa ; that he has intrigued with Appa Sahib. the ex-Raja of Nagpore; and tt he has countenanced and supported attempts to seduce from their allegiance certain native soldiers in the service of the British Government. - - " The first and second only of these are clear breaches of the treaty by which the Raja of Sattara is bound, for he is restrained from any intercourse with foreign powers, and with all persons whatever, who are not by the treaty subjected to his Highness's authority. The third is an equally clear violation of the duty which states professing relations of amity owe to each other. " No doubt existing as to the factsior to the disposition which they, indicate, the question arises, how are we to deal with the case ? There are apparently but three modes of meeting it : " Ist. By subjecting theßaja to a formal trial, and after inquiry made and' sentence passed, visiting him with ap propriate punishment. " 2dly. By proceeding in the mode by which national wrongs are ordinarily redressed, by at once commencing hostil operations, taking possession of the Raja's terri tories, and acting as circumstances may justify under the right of conquest. 3dly. By addressing to the Raja such remonstrance as may appear expedient, and passing over his past of fences, in the hope that the exercise of clemency may give . rise to better feelings. "The• difficulties in the wayof the course first referred to appear to me very great. There is no ordinary tri bunal to which the Raja could be made amenable, and a special one must be organised, for the purpose of in vestigating the charges against him, if they are to be in vestigated. - " A Commission has been proposed, and the expediency has been suggested, of selecting its Members from the other Presidencies, excluding altogether • persons serving under this Government. I think that, proceeding to subject the Raja to trial by a Commission would be a com se very much open to suspicion and misrepresenta tion, however that Commission might be constituted. I know that, from the civil and military services of India, there would be no difficulty whatever in selecting Com missioners who would perform their duty without regard to anything but justice ; but I - need not add, that in the conduct of States, as of individuals, it is most important not only to avoid wrong, but to make this avoidance ap parent, and to place the character of the State for inte grity and good faith beyond the possibility of question. " For this reason I should desire, if practicable, to avoide the trial of an issue, in which the British GoVern ment is a party, before p tribunal which must, of neces sity, be composed of its own servants." And then he added—" The Raja of Sattara cannot be regarded as a very formidable foe to the British Eirpire, and those with whom he has been connected are as little formidable as himself." On the 20th of June, 1839, the Governor writes : " In continuation of my minute of yesterday's date, I now beg to submit to the Board my views regarding the mode in which I think our intentions towards the Raja of Sattara should be carried into effect. " It will not be consistent with our proposed amnesty for the past, to make any demand which can justly be nTarded as a punishment ; and, under this impression, I at once abandon the measure which appears to have been thought of by the Government of the late Sir Ro bert Grant, of requiring the Raja to maintain a contin gent of horse .for the service of the British Government. " Our demands should be limited as much as possible, and should be confined only to those which will again place the Raja in the precise situation intended by the treaty of September, 1819, and will ensure the most efficient protection to all persons who have been obnoxious to him, in consequence.of the part they have taken in re cent proceedings. " Before proceeding to Sattarn, I shall cause a letter to be prepared to the Raja's address, embodying the sen timents which Government entertain of his conduct, and the requisitions which we deem it essential to make, in order to ensure his future adherence to his engagements, and to promote peace and concord between the two Go vernments. The latter may ultimately be embodied in a formal engagement to be required from the Raja. " The following is what I conceive should be the sub stance of my address to his Highness the Raja : " Ist. That after a careful and attentive perusal and consideration of the evidence, it is my painful duty to inform him, that I entertain no doubt whatever that his irregular and unwarrantable communications with the Goa authorities during a series of years, his intrigues with Appa. Sahib, the ex-Raja of Nag-pore, and the coun tenance and supvort which ho gave to the attempt to seduce from their allegiance certain Native officers in the service of the British Government, have been fully proved. " 2d. That these proceedings indicate that his High ness, unmindful of the great benefits which he has de rived from the Hon. Company, has entertained hostile designs towards their Government, at a time when he was openly professing to be on the n most intimate terms of friendship and alliance. " 3d. That by these acts he has most justly incurred the penalty prescribed in his treaty with Govern ment, namely, the forfeiture of all the rights and posses sions which that conferred upon him. " 4th. That, nevertheless, the British Government has resolved to overlook his past misconduct, and to grant an amnesty on the following'conditions." He should not trouble the Court with reading them at length. "I believe the above to contain all the stipulations which, on the principles we are resolved to pursue, are essentially necessary ; but I shall be happy to consider any others which my colleagues may desire to propose. " I find that there are various subjects of discussion on minor points between the two Governments, the con sideration of which has been postponed pending the final disposal of the Raja's case ; such, for instance, as the transit duty question, the admission of the Company's rupee into the Raja's territories, and some claims affect ing individuals. ." It appears to me, however, inexpedient to mix up these questions in the present discussion. When I proceed to Sattara I can take these proceedings with me, and I shall probably be able to adjust these minor matters, either in direct communications with the Raja or through the Resident. " In conclusion, I deem it necessary to refer to a possible, ,though I hope not probable, issue to the at tempt we are about to make, to re-establish our relations at Sattara on a friendly footing. The Raja, either from misappreciating our motives, or from relying on the in fluence which he may fancy he has established, by means of the numerous agents he has employed, both in England and in India, may refuse to accept our proffered clemency, boldly assert his innocence, and challenge inquiry.—(llear, hear.) lam not prepared, at this moment, to state the precise course which should be followed under such a contingency ; but, in order to avoid the delay of another reference to the Go vernor-General of India, I think the possibility of its occurrence should b e p o i n t e d ou t, an d hi s L or d s hip' s sentiments solicited, as to the course we should then pursue. " In carrying into effect these measures, I shall do all in my power to convince his Highness of the serious errors into which he has beet], betrayed, in friendly and considerate language—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear) —but, on the other hand, I shall be firm in my endea vours to convince his Highness, that nothing can induce Government to recede from the very lenient terms on which we ar; , , willing to cast an oblivion over the past. "In my former minute I referred to the necessity of secresy, as perhaps essential to the success of our plans ; and, to ensure this, I would now propo se that these pr ocee di ngs may not be formally recorded until the Governor-General has replied to the reference to be zu.ade to him. (Signed) "J. R CARNAC." N'ow for the reply of the Governor-General. It was dated 'Simla, July-11, 1839, and was in the form of a letter from Mr. Torrens, the Deputy Secretary to the Government of India with the Governor o lmi relt of Generali Bombay. 3, ay. Ir. Willoughby, the Secretary to the (The on. Proprietor here read the ' lc i * . t i ter referred to as follows.) : li R, to Secretary to the Govern ". To J. P. Willoughby , rent of Bombay. " Sir,—l have the hononr to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 24th ult. with enclosures, and am directed to state t hat the Governor-General has studied with much inte rest the minutes recorded by the Hon. the G the Members 'of Council of Bum bav, Lordship assents to the general amnesty it owahiC aovdehrn that or this 3 and b it is proposed to extend to the Raja of Sattara and to the con ditions under which it is suggested that thi s amnes ty should be granted , and that his Lordship also ent i r ely approves of the intention of the Hon. Sir J. It c a rnac s himself proceeding to Sattara for the purpos e of e ndeavouring to carry his views into effect, and again to place our relations with the Raja on a fPiendly footing, His Lordship feels it unnecessary to enter into any re view of this case. He . has already avowed his opinion that, whether led by malignity or folly, or a weak sub serviency to bad advisers, the Raja has committed acts which might justly forfeit for him all the favour of the l3ritish Government, and justify a sentence of 'severe re tribution. lie sees all the embarrassments which might arise out of a formal trial. He feels the strong objec tions which would be urged in quarters of the highest authority against a summary act of extreme severity, and he is compelled to acknowledge the expediency of the milder course proposed, and would indulge the hope that the exercise of clemency may give rise, if not to better feelings, at least. to more guarded conduct. With regard to the precise cou rse o f p rocee dings which is to be pursued, his Lordship concurs with the Hon. the Governor and Council of Bombay in opinion, that the measures of amnesty being agreed upon, it should not be accompanied with any demands which might justly' be regarded as a punishment; but there may be, as suggested by Mr. Anderson, warning for the future : principles may be laid down for the more strict observance of the treaty, and, above all things, effectual protection must be se cured to those who, in the course of the late inquiry, may. by having afforded information, be assumed to have given offence to the Raja. With this expression of his views, his Lordship cordially assents to the propositions laid down by the Hon. the Governor of Bombay, in his minutes of June 20th, and adopted by his colleague. He would only suggest, that great care be taken in fram ing the letter to the Raja; so guardedly, and yet so de cidedly, to express the views held by Government in his case, as that if possible discussion shall not be provoked or admitted upon his own guilt or innocence, and it may be doubted, whether it has not been proposed to distinctly assert the, proof of personal criminality, and whether the assertions may not appear in too great a degree to be inconsistent with the leniency which follows. Perhaps 1
