Upon • consideration of the objections to the stipulation as
it originally stood, it occurred to me to propose t. the Nawab,
iu lieu of •it, a mortgage of the Duals. 131 uneral terms, a. a
security for the payment of the whole ; but as it was
liable to similar, and eve,, greater objvdions, I relinquished it.
The article containing the stipulation fur the reduction of
the forces of Oude to a definite number, was transcribed, with
some variation., from the Beaty at Allahabarl, with the Nawab
Sujah ud Denials, in August, 1765; I relinquidied it fur the
following reasons r Becalm the publication of It would have
excittil a general alarm amongst the military in Oude, and
might have led to tumult and insurrection ; and because the
execution of it must gradually and necessarily take place, iu
(Nita to enable the Nanob to provide the funds fur the pay-
ment of the subsidy, and his increased expences. In tier, ay
trims of the article are rather modified than retiounced ; for
the terms of that which has been substituted for the original
stipulamit, includesall the establishment:. as well military as
civil, arid antimony" an interference on the part of the Com-
pany, if it should be necessary, as tar as may be expedient for
the importam object of securing the due privation t of the subsidy.
The Mill,' contracted by the N rh.e, fur the payment of
the jest debis of his prenece.vpr, k.altugeitia omitted. not only
as contrary to that principle of non-interference in the damns
of individuals, which this Government has invariably adopted,
but, from the coristderation, that the stipulation would involve
us in the necessity of inq airing into the justice of all claims,
and constitute th r Company, in soinc measure, a euarant-e
for procuring the liquidation of them, which would he attended
with very 'emu:embarrassment.
On this subject, I informed the Nabob, that although the
article was withdrawn, it was still left to hi: 'quay to satisf:
such clunks as he 'night deem fair and just, and that in this
class he would, upon inquiry, probably find the demands of the
Shroff's upon the late Vizier, and if sir, that it would be his
interest pot to overlook them.

I omitted the stipulation ear a provision in favour of hi,
brethren as altogether inxiropei but I have the satisfadion !
to inform the Bevil, that ass attention to their situatioe vas
amongst the first set.: of his administration ; that the slim les 01
many were doubled, and that orders were isnied for the aug-
inentatio s of all.
The preceding explauation has a reference to the most
material alterations.
I stow lay before the Board the translation of the draft of an
engagement proposed to me by the Seguin, fur the signature
of the Nawab Saadut Ali Khan, and of one wh,ch he aztuaily
executed, and to which I a‘fixed my signature.
Under any other circumstances than those in which I was
placed in Oude, I should have objected to any concessions on
the part of the Nawab in favour of the Begun), whose con-
duct, notwithstanding my expressed intention beim* my jour-
'ley to Odle, to gratify her by the restoration of her Jaglitre,
certainly merited nu favour or indulgence. Ihe exorbitance
of her requisition is inemoteruue, and artugant in the highest
degree, mid I rejected it in the most decided mariner, with an
explanation through Almas, that altaoush the Nawab Saadut
Ali Khan was well disposed to show every mark of aßentien
to the widow of his father, arid the acknowlodged surviving
head of the family, I never would recommend to hies to re•
sign any part of his sovereignty, nor anew any participation
in it by the Baguet, that he was the sovereign of Untie, mad
as such should be supported by the Company, who, as well is
the Nabob. would in other respects be disposed to consult the
ease and diessity of the Begum. Upon this principle, which I
also explained to the Ministers, the engagement stetted by
the Nabob was drawn oat by my dictation, and delivered to
the Begun by the Nabob, awl, from the spirit of it, he would
be authorised to withdraw the concessions, if the Begusir should
set an unfrieudly part towards him.
The concession amounts to nearly four and a half larks of
rupees, bait is in fag a donation of Ms aut two la rs only, as
UPS Jaghire assigned for the Mend and Khass Mehals it a sub-
stitution of an equivalent «stablithed allowance in money
The yuonger Beg uru also made very considerable claims fee
an augmentation of her allowances, and the Nawab Saadut Al,
Klan readily agreed to what I deemed reasonable, but much
below her eepeerions. She expressed much 4,:appuintine.it
and dissatisfaction.
I hare omitted tomention in its proper place the stipulation
for tire payment of a fixed suits of twelve lies of rupees, as a
compensation for thu charges incurred by the Company, in
getiblishing the rights of the Nabob Seed et Ali Khan It
would be difficiiit to ascertain the actual expence, but the
specified sum which was either paid, tar indite course of pay-
meet, when I left Lucknow, will be more thee seflicient to
cover the whole. The HITS agreed to be paid by the Nabob
for imprsiving the fortifications of Allahabed and Futtegnur
were assumed upon an esrirnate of Colonel Yyd, and ex-
ceed it.
In general, with respect to the stipulations contracted
by the Nabob Saadut Ali Khan, I have to observe, that they
are confoimeblo to the propositions in my Minute of the I 71h
November last, and include the specific ',Meth then poi.dea
nut. He certainly will rind coneuterahle difficulty in fir lNt ng
his pecuniary engagements with the Company during the first
year, or perhaps longer; but I have no he nation in iteierelig,
that, under an improved Adomestration, the revenuer ref hie
dominions would amply suffice for every expellee.
The draft of the Treaty, with a translation of the mire,-
wient execute" by the Nawab at Bellaire, were &live crl to
him un the 19th January, with the letter expianat ry of the
principles or which the Treaty was drawn out. The altera-
tions which I have admitted, were not suggested by the Nabob,
but the result of discussions between myself and the former
Minister. The concluding line only of the last wide was
added, at the desire ro the Nabob.
No answers had been received from Shah Alliim to the
addresses from the Nabob Vizier and myself on the subject
of his acces.iou, but I have the satufaction to c immianicate
to the Boanl the sentiments of the King upon it, as repressed
in A letter by him to a person who acts as his agent at the
Court of Oude, received on the day preceding my departure
hem Lucknow. It most frilly corroborate, the sentiments of
Ills Majesty, as formerly communicated by me to the Board,
on the information of Reza ud Dien Mahomed Khan.

In elucidation of the principles of my conduct, subsequent
to the revolt/non in Oude, 1 have to obserse, that the amain•
stance youth appeared to me most necessary to be guarded
agsi.tst, WAS the etre° of desperation in those whit had aged an
usibiendly part towards the Company, and mi;tit suppose
themselves °Netts of resentment Anil punishment. In this
predicament the Begum certainly sued, from her conduct
previous to my approach to Lucknow ; and Alines, as the
supposed adviser of the Beguile, was implicated with her. I
einnoly acquit him, however, Of a suspicion stated iii my
Miniitsi of the 13th January, and dispatched from Luau.y
on the 17th, that he was again the secret direct•ir of the eon-
dal of Vtaier Ali, ester having proposed his deposition ; it
was adopted on information and presumptions which were not
substantiated. lot the consciousness that they had oppi.sed
the title of Faadut Ali, by a proposition to establish Mir&

some of his conslatits. Many others of infenor quality might
