LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 3.

IT is a great blaming to have in India a Vice-
roy who not only commands confidence by his
qualities, but has that experience of the native
races and their ways which is our beet security
against needless frontier wars. There are sufficient
reasons just now foe some anxiety about our rela-
tions with three or four of our neighbours in or
beyond the mountains ; but there is so universal a
reliance on the knowledge, temper, and judgment
of the VICEROY, that everybody, except a few
habitual alarmists, is satisfied that no hostilities
will be advised or undertaken by the Government
which are not absolutely required by the honour of
our rule, or the welfare of the people of India.
If the Bhootan quarrel is to be prosecuted in so
serious a way as by a military expedition, we
may feel assured that there is now no escape from
the necessity, as Sir J. LAWEINC6 is quite as re-
luctant as anybody else can be to engage in an
adventure so disagreeable, so dangerous to valuable
lives, and so little satisfactory, even in case of the
best result. Whether the necessity might have
been avoided by more foresight and better wisdom
at an earlier time is another question, and one
which there is no use in discussing now.

On the 12th of November the VICEROY issued
a proclamation announcing the military expedi-
tion against Bhootan, and explaining the causes
of it. The immediate object of the proclamation
was to prepare the chiefs, landholders, and peasants
in the region to be traversed for understanding
and doing their duty. That duty is simply to
keep quiet in their homes and at their business,
aiding the troops if requested to do so, and fearing
no harm. It is not only upon our tea Ousts:ices
that the Bhootess have made hostile descents from
time to time for years past. The rulers of Sik-
kim and Coosh Behar have had to complain
of similar aggressions ; the possessors of
property have been robbed, and the ryota have
been in constant danger of being carried off into
slavery. The final outbreak has occurred on the
subject of those poor captives and that booty.
" The British Government," says the proclama-
tion, "has frequently received vague assurances
" and promises for the future ; but no property
" has ever been restored, no captive liberated,
"no offender punished ; and the outrages mud-
" need." The way in which the British Envoy
was treated last year has brought on the final de-
. • ••

Our settlements in Assam must be
rendered safe from attack by these kill barbarians,
who think they have snubbed the British power,
and may continue their incursions. The districts
belonging to the Bhootess in Bengal are therefore
declared to be annexed to Bengal ; and so much
of the hill region as is necessary to protect the
plains and the Darjeeling district Three forts,
guarding the passes from Bhootan, are included
in the annexed territory. When the Bhoo-
tess have been dealt with there will be a
survey of the frontier lands, and determination of
the new boundary. This kind of work, which we
are for ever hoping we have done with, is always
turning up again ; and nobody can feel more dis-
gust at it than the present VICIROT, who is regarded
with more deference by the hill tribes than, per-
haps, any of his predecessors. In the proclamation
be expresses the reluctance be feels ; and there is
ground for much reluctance on account of all the
parties concerned.
The dangers to ourselves arise from three sources.
Any demonstration against Bhootan is likely to

rouse the hill tribes all along our north-eastern
frontier, and bring on a repetition of the miserable
warfare in the swampy region in which the soil
and the waters are the allies of the enemy. On
the precarious chance of those tribes remaining
quiet depends, probably, the behaviour of the
new subjects of our empire—the inhabitants of
the Bengal Dooars and of the Hills whom
the VICYROT addresses in the proclamation before
us. Next, there is the fearful climate of those
foreat•grown plains through which our troops are
now passing. It appeals that Brigadier-General
MULCASTNR, Colonel RICHARDSON, and other offi-
cers are already suffering from the fever of the
district. Under such a liability our forces must
depend largely on the goodwill of the inhabitants
of the region, who can either assist or injure them
to a very serious extent. Again, when the
fever districts are passed there is the foe, planted

behind his natural defences of rock; glaciers, and
snowdrifts. Rumours about the condition of the

Bhooteas differ widely. Some alsrasiet: hay,
that the Nepaul MAHARAJAH has tarnished trt
spinet us, and that the Bhootan faeces are
worthier enemy than the Government has sup-
posed ; while very recent and more probable re-
ports state that there are such quarrels among the
Weis and factions in Bhootan as will make
Se offenders an easy prey. Some are for
propitiating, and others for defying the British.
On the whole, the only thing we can be certain
of is that the enterprise must go on whether the
cost be heavy or light, till Bhootan is rendered a
harmlems neighbour, and en example to ell other
hill people on our frontier of the fool-hardiness of
rousing by annoyance the retributive energies of a
powerful and quiet neighbour. We are in for this
one other little war ; and it must be made to pre-
clude, as far as possible, future disturbance to the
peace and profitable industry of the important
settlements below that far-stretching frontier.
