parations were immediately 'made for the .tenant,
and the place was qoichly'tfiiried, but the capture
of it was occompsnied ty4iin act of treachery is
the part of the Arabs. which cost the bees of
several gallant officers and men. Enraged at
this loss, the assailants rushed forward, sad in
the ardour of conquest put the garrison to the
sword. The Killedar was made prisoner, sod
it was the genetsl opinion of all the principal
officers of the British army that he should be made
an example, for the purpose of deterring the other
Killedars in Candeish from pursuing the object of
their confederacy, which must have caused the
ruin of the British army. It is satisfactory to
think that the measure was attended «Lb this
advantsge, that all the other forts in the pro-
vince were surrendered, and the Treaty canned
into effect without the loss of a Weigle life. As
a measure of political expediency, therefore. the
execution of this Killedar was eminently successful.
Sir TROMAIS Htst.oe himself thus speaks of it :-
11 The good effect the example produced in the
cease of humanity and to the public interests, be.
came. as it were. instantly apparent. The condoito
racy of opposition to our lawful possession of Ceiba
deish was dissolved.; th.: several Killedars, till neer
in resistsoce. yielded 'to 'Hot.xan's order, sod f
obedience to it, delivered up the formidable posts
in their possession; the Peishwa 'betook himself
to night; Rite osier disappeared, and tier
another life sus /sit in the assumption of the
cessions of HOLICAIL wherein, had not an ems.
ple been made at the critical juseture it was, is.
calculable bloodshed would inevilebly have ensued."
Such undoubtedly were the motives that led to the
execution of the Killed'', and we must do the gad.
taut General the justice to helices that to his mind
the act must have been esstrensely painful. The
effects resulting from it to the brave tinny seeder
his command, and to the political hottest, of
the country, are such as we must all rejoice at;
and however we may lament the exeecise of such
severity, we must not forget that it arose frees
necessity, and that the interests of humanity. if visa.
fated in skis instance, were sufficiently compeoseted
by the numbers of kiss shot were spared in-cosp-
esquence of the asletary imprimis" mode by Ale
