gaged in the like employment have treacherously been
thrown into capti\'ity. Finally, the army of the State
and the whole Seihia people, joined by many of the Sir-
dars in the Punjaub• who signed the treaties, and led by
a member or the Tiegency itself, have risen in arms
against us, and have waged a fierce and bloody war for
the proclaimed purpose of destroying the British and
their power.
" The Government of India formerly declared that it
desired no further conquest, and it proved by its acts al
sincerity of its professions.
" 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 punishment can
deter from violence, no acts of friendship can conciliate
to peace.

THE PUNJAUB.
(From the Bombay Times.)
The annexation of the Puojaub 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 Peshawur and the Dherajat,
between the liver and the mountains—the most produc-
tive and 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 1,000,0001. 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 to 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 ulimately prove a blessing
curse to us, will depend on the use we make of i or a
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
t. If
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, Bahawulpore, and the Raj poet states,
on the suuth 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. If we are to
eo fit
moat
ot the e
whatligh t
w o
of
fe
civilization,s ses s b and set about making
fore 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, who in the barbarous triumphs
of arms forgot the claims of its subjects, and the duties
due to the cause of civilisation 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 the like predicament
before, we never were so 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 England, 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, on the
16th of March, of Major-General Sir W. R. Gilbert's
force at Attocic, and the anticipations we then expreised
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
Csubul 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 bad to bring up its
artillery, stores, and ammunition along
with it, and to
keep itself' fit for action. The Ameer, indeed, had en-
tered the Khyber Pass 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 done all the mischief they cuuld
as they withdrew. Peshawur had shut its gates 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
Ameer directed the inhabitants to refuse admittance to
sTheof ou Arf_ mreeeedeeo on
his ungovernable rabble. The Bombay troops had been

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
Sir Henry Lawrence is to be President (on a salary of
7,000 r.), and Mr. C. G. Mansell and John Lawrence,
members (on 4,000 r. each per month). Four Commis-
sioners have been named—viz., Messrs. Edward Thorn-
ton, R. 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. Carnac,
H. Brereton, Philip Egerton, Edward Bayley, J. Wed-
derburn, Brand Sapte, G. F. M`Leod, B. Henderson,
D. Simson, B. Simson, F. D. Forsyth, J. H. 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 serve. 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 preparo 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.
Subjoined is a list of the troops as allotted to the va-
rious stations within the country:—
