THE ANNEXATION

OF THE

PUNJ AUB.

• I We have received dispatches from India, in antici-
pation of the mail, which left Bombay on the 17th
of April.
Although nothing was positively known at Ole
period of the last mail's departure respecting the long
relayed question of annexation, yet the public mind
has been long made up as to the most probable course
to be taken for the future government of the Pun-
jaub ; and the Governor-General's proclamation of
the 29th of March, annexing the country of the five
rivers, will cause no surprise. The dearly bought
experience of the last five years is the best answer
to all who feel inclined to cavil at the justice or
expediency of the step taken for the future tran-
quillity of the country. The proclamation in
question, which will be found elsewhere, is very
brief, very much to the purpose, and as plain as
a document could well be, slightly touching upon
the history of cur connexion with the country,
and pointing out that, in spite of treaties and
the great desire for peace evinced by the British
Government, even after the battles on the banks of
the Sutlej, the Seikh people and their chiefs have
grossly and faithlessly violated the promises by which
they were bound. having advanced thus far in de-
claring the kingdom of the Punjaub at an end, the
next question of paramount importance is the disarm-
ing of the Seikhs. The Governor-General in one part
of the proclamation touches upon this point, where he
declares that the defences of every fortified place not
occupied by British troops shall be totally destroyed ;
and further, that effectual steps shall be taken to
deprive the people of the means of renewing the war;
but the means to be employed to carry out these pro-
mises are not touched upon. Both points will come
under the consideration of those to whom the future
government of this large territory has been entrusted
by the Governor-General. His Excellency has pro-
hibited the enlistment of any of the Seikhs who had
served in the rebel army; and a circular has been is-
sued by the Commander-in-Chief, calling the atten-
tion of commanding officers to this paint, advising
great care and circumspection when men present
themselves with the view of being enlisted in the
native regiments.

gaged in the like employment have treacheroudy been
thrown into captivity. Finally, the army of the State
and the whole, Seikh people, joined by many of the Sir
darn in the Punjaub who signed the treaties, and led by
a member of the Regency itself, have risen in arms
against us, and Nava waged a fi2rce and bloody war for
the proclaimed purpose of destroying the British and
their power.
" The Government of .India formerly declared that

desired no further conquest, and it proved by its acts the
sincerity of its profes3ions.
" The Government of India has no desire for conquest
now; but it is bound, in its duty, to provide fully fur its
own security, and to guard the interests of those com-
mitted to its charge.
" To that end, and as the only sure mode of protecting
the state from the perpetual recurrence of unprovoked
and wasting wars, the Governor-General is compelled to
resolve upon the entire subjection of a people whom their
own Government has long been unable to control, and
whom (as events have now shown) no piiniihment can
deter from violence, no acts of friendship can conciliate
to peace.

Annexation appears to have become popular with
the people at Ihnritsir, where great rejoicing has
taken piste in consequence of the announcement of
British authority being establised in the Punjaub.
13y an extract of a letter which appeared in the
Telegraph and Courier, it would appear that the
pe1,1,2 of the Punjaub are in earnest as regards their
delight at the turn matters have taken ; for the writer
of the letter says, when speaking of Umritsir, that
the city was illuminated by rich and poor, by liindo s
and Mahomalans, in token of their joy and approba-
tiod in ccming under British dominions. The Ak-
halees and Seikhs are said to have vied with the
Khetrees in evincing their loyalty and allegiance to
the new state of things; and last, though not least,
the priests of the temple, in their sacerdotal dress,
chanted hymns of praise and thanksgiving in honour
of their country having come under British rule and
government. The question very naturally arise
how long is this very happy state of things to last,
for later accounts from Lahore represent the inhabit.
ants as being in a state of excitement in consequence
of the annexation, so much so, that one of the Queen's
regiments, under orders to move towards Ferozopore,
was detained at the capital.
The news from General Gilbert's force is highly
satisfactory; everything that decision, good judg-
ment, great activity, and determination of purpose
could effect, has been achieved by the General during
his march upon Peshawur ; few could have done as
much, no one more, than has been accomplished
under his orders ; officers and men, European and
Native, all looked up to their General with the
greatest confidence, and would follow him anywhere ;
he will no doubt meet his reward. The Bombay
troops will remain at Peshawur under the command
of Brigadier-General Dundas, General Gilbert with
a small escort having made a move towards Lahore
with the view of assuming the command of the Pun-
jaub division, to which he is eminently qualified. As
most people anticipated, Dost Mahommed Khan has
made the best of his way home, being chased
ignominiously from the territories he invaded. It
was fortunate for the Ameer that the Kyberees proved
friendly and allowed him for a consideration to pass
to Caubul.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other
;apposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
;ens° of right determine the former, and miscalculatel hopes em-
%l...ter the latter. The solitary ono may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eemproshig hurry; but tke truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform au item
in the compact; It alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
sealed wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
ihese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by cost, in stamps, ls. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hbadered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, flt
fer the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore. two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. eacb,
by post ls. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
painehlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral seribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life who OIVC3 his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as ho
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always

Thus, the war has been brought to a most success-
ful termination, and a most complimentary and well-
merited order was issued by the Governor-General,
after the receipt of General Gilbert's dispatch from
Peshawur, announcing the termination of hostilities.
This document will be read with general interest.
As to the future destination of the chiefs who have
played so prominent a part against us (Chuttur
Singh, and his son Shere Singh) nothing has trans-
pired, further than the confiscation of all their pro-
perty, in common with that of others who had joined
in the cause of the rebels. As regards Moolraj, whose
defence of Moult= excited a feeling of admiration
among his enemies, he appears just now very likely
to suffer. for the part he took in the murders of Messrs.
Anderson and Agnew ; he is said to have failed most
completely in the attempt to establish any point
implicating the Durbar or Ghoolab Singh as having
been in any way concerned in these acts, and the im-
pression at Lahore seems to be that he and the Narain
Singh-will be hanged.
Dhuleep Singh has been promised a pension of
five lacs of rupees (40,0001.), and it is probable that
his future residence may be fixed at I'oonab.
Report has it that Sir W. Cotton, the Commander-
in-Chief of Bombay, intended to send home his resig-
nation by this mail, rather than serve under a junior
—Sir C. Napier.
Rumours of an increase of the army were of course
current in India. An addition of no less than ten
regiments to the Bengal force was spoken of, as it is
alleged, "on good authority," while another report
mentions a very useful change, the appointment of a
sixth captain to all the Native Cavalry regiments. It
was hoped, however, that the assignment of a large
portion of the Bengal territory to the troops of the
Madras Presidency would dispense with the necessity
of any large augmentation. The Litter Presidency
has long been in such profound tranquillity that its
army has been comparatively exempt from a partici-
pation in the stirring scenes in which the Bengal and

Bombay troops have engaged.
The Meeatiee, 84, and Melampus, 42, sailed for
England on the 4th of April; and the Cambria, 44,

ailed at tho same time for Trincomalee.

The

Meer.nee carried no less than 493 invalids from the

army.

Whereon) the Governor-General of India has do •
dared, and hereby proclaims, that the kingdom of tho
Punjaub is at an end; and that all the territories of Ma-
haraja Dhuleep Singh are now and henceforth a portion
of the British Empire in India.
" his Highness the Maharaja shall be troatal with
consideration and honour.
"The few chiefs who have not engaged in hostilities
against the British shall retaia their property and their
rank.

Itidia generally remained profoundly tranquil.
The annexation of the Punjaub is thus an.
nounced :

"The British Government will leave to all the people
whether Mussulman, Ilindoo, or seikh,
the free exercise
of their own leligions, but it will not permit any man to
interfere with others in the obseivance of such forms and
customs as their respective religions may either enjoin
or permit.
"The Jagheers, and all the property of Sirdars or
oche; s who have been in arms against the British, shall
be confiscated to the state.

" Tho defences of every fortified place in the Pun-
jaub which is not occupied by British troops shall be
totally destroyed, and elf:ctual measures shall be taken
;0 deprive the people of
.the means of renewing either
:an:mit or war.

"The Governor General calls upon all the inhabitants
of the Punjaub, Sirdars and people, to submit themselves
i,eaccably to the authority of the British Government,
which has hereby been proclaimed.
" Over those who shall live as obedient and peaceful
subjects of the state the British Government will rule
with mildness and beneficence.

" But if resistance to constituted authority shall again
be attempted, if violence and turbulence be renewed, the
Governor-General warns the people of the Punjaub that
the time for leniency will then have passed away, and
that their offence will be Finished with prompt and most
rigorous severity.

of India,

THE PUNJAUB.
(From the Bombay Times.)
The annexation of the Purijaub to our dominions has
been announced in form; the British frontier has now
been pushed beyond the Indus; and not only do the
Seikh states, Jamoo excepted, now recognise the sove-
reignty of England, but Peshaw ur and the Dherajat,
between the river and the mountains —the most produc-
tive und the most cherished provinces of the Dooranee
empire—own our sway; and a surface of above 100,000
square miles, containing a population of 3,500,000, and
yielding a net revenue of about 1,000,000/. sterling, has
been added to our already colossal Eastern empire. No
acquisition was ever made by us with more aversion,
or by means less open to censure; and by
the industrious portion of the people the transfer
will be hailed with gratitude. 'That it will not for
a long period t) come be able from its own revenues
to maintain itself, and that it will prove a heavy tax
on our already overburdened finances, is more than pro-
bable. Whether it ultimately prove a blessing or a
curse to us, will depend on the use we make of it. If
it be dealt with as the majority of our conquests. have
been—neglected, unless as a vast cantonment for troops
and the basis of further annexations—it will form but
one more addition to the mass of expensive misgoverned
provinces already bowing us down, and likely, unless
under a change of system, to prove our ruin. We yet
want Khyrpore, Behawulpore, and the 16jpoot states,
on the south and west, to complete our dominions—
Jamoo and Cashmere to relieve us of apprehension from
the north-east; with Oude, Hyderabad, the Mysore,
Travancore, and all the other native states embosomed
in our empire—if the old and atrocious doctrine of the
necessity of expansion be insisted on. It we are to
profit by the light of civilization, and set about making
the most of what we possess before coveting more, a
stupendous career of indefinite length and incon-
ceivable brightness is before us. Our fate de-
pends on our selection. Should we persist in in-
dulging in endless expansion, and madly realizing
the dream that our destinies drive us onwards, history
may, before a century elapse, have to chronicle our fall
—the moralist, while deploring the humiliation of our
fate, to mark the justice of the retribution which brought
a nation to the ground, oho in the barbarous triumphs
of arms forgot the claims of its subjects, and the duties
due to the cause of civilization and the arts of peace. We
have now, at all events, no reasonable pretexts for ap-
prehensions of danger on our frontier, or plausible ex-
cuse for extension of territory; and though we have
often to a certain extent been in tho like predicament
before, we never were ss to such an extent as we are
now. Yet, so long as restless Governors-General or
warlike Commanders-in-Chief know that any war,
however unjust, if only successful—any conquests,
however ruinous—will obtain for them, from the
people of Eegland, thanks, honours, and pensions
—how shall India feel secure of tranquillity or good
government, when these yield neither fame nor
riches to our rulers? The present is, perhaps, the
only occasion in our history where territory has been
forced upon us, and where we, literally, scarcely had
room to choose which measure ought to be pursued—
when that resorted to was perhaps, after all, the lesser
of the evils resulting from previous intermeddling with
nations and empires that concerned us not left to be
pursued.

- In our last we gave particulars of the arrival, en the
16th of March, of M ijor-General Sir W. N. Gilbert's
force at Attock, and the anticipations wo then expressed
that he would reach Peshawur on the 21st were realised.
Though thus rapid in his movements, and successful in
all his other projects, he was unable to overtake the
C. übul marauders. The fault was none of his—Dost
Mahomed had the start of him; and an army of plun-
derers who cared nothing for the injury inflicted by them
on the people, and whose sole object was to get out of
our way, was too fleet for one which had to bring up its
artillery, stores, and ammunition along it,
with and to
keep itself fit fur action. The Ameer, indeed, had en-
tered the Khyber Puss just as we crossed the Indus, and
been enabled, by the forbearance of the tribes, to
make his way towards Jellalabad without interrup-
tion. His troops had dyne all the mischief they could
as they withdrew. Peshawur had shut its gat?; against
them, but they destroyed the suburbs and villages all
around; and the ruins of the cantonments occupied by
the Seikh garrison, and of the residence of Major Law-
rence, were still smoking when we arrived. The city
would doubtless have shared the same fate had not the
Amecr directed the inhabitants to refuse admittance to
su. Theoupnirelnnder

dn g marked

and
wi
from the hills wee© carrying on a system of
their way back from the town of Peshawur to camp. Sir
W. Gilbert was to leave for Lahore on the 2d of April,
with the 30th Native Infantry as an escort. So soon a;
the tidings reached that all which could be attempted
had been accomplished, the proclamation intimating the
annexation was issued. Mr. 11. M. Elliot, Foreign Se-
cretary with the Governor-General, proceeded straight_
way to Lahore, and assembled the Durbar, when
it was intimated that Dhuleep Singh had ceased to
reign, and the monarchy founded by Runjeet
Singh had passed to other hands. The Prince, now Sove-
reign no more, is to reside within the British dominions
—rumour says at Poonah, in the Deccan—and is to re-
ceive a pension of 40,0001. a-year. His mother, who ex-
pressed so much anguish on being parted from him, and
whose intrigues and machinations were so well calcu-
lated to-hasten his fall, is to be permitted to join him in
his seclusion. The present force in the Punjaub amounts
to 33,000 British troops; that on the frontier and in the
Jullundur Doab to 38,000; the
grand total of our army
on the north-west frontier and in the Punjaub together
to 71,110 men. The country is, as stated in our last, to
be placed under a Council, of which Lieutenant-Colonel
President Sir Henry Lawrence is to bo (on a salary of
7,000 r.), and Mr. C. G. Mansell and John Lawrence,
members (on 4,000 r. each per month). pour
Commis-
sioners have been named—viz., Messrs. Edward Thorn-
ton, H. Montgomery, D. M,Leod, and M. P. Edgeworth,
with a cloud of Deputy-Commissioners and assistants,
amongst whom the following have been already named :
—Messrs. F. B. Pearson, H. P. Fane, W. J. H. Carnab,
H. Brereton, Philip Egerton, Edward Bayley, J. Wed-
derburn, Brand Sapte, G. F. M‘Leod, IL B. Henderson,
D. Simson, R. Simeon, F. D. Forsyth, J. 11. Prinsep, A.
Money, Couper, &c. The greater part of these officers
are already at the posts that are to be assigned to them.
It has been stated to us on excellent authority that
next cold season the Saugor and Nerbudda territories
are to be permanently placed in charge of the Madras
army; so that no fewer than 15 regiments from the
" Benighted Presidency" will be required where Ben-
gal troops now serv,s. This is a very heavy draught on
the Madras army; if such a force can be spared it will
go far to obviate the necessity of an augmentation. The
Commissary of Ordnance at Saugor has been directed
to prepare accounts so as to enable the arsenal to be
transferred to other hands. It is added—but on this
point we speak with more hesitation--that the Commis-
sioner for Saugor is to receive an appointment in the
Punjaub, and that the civilians as well as the soldiers Of
Madras will move upwards.
