years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to he the only

luces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it

gaged in the like employment have treacherously been
thrown into captivity. Finally, the army of the State
and the whole Seikh people, joined by many of the Sir-
dars in the Punjaub who signed the treaties, and led by
a member of the Regency itself, have risen in arms
against us, and have waged a fierce and bloody war for
the proclaimed purpose of destroyiag the British and
their power.
" The Government of India formerly declared that it
desired no further conquest, and it proved by its acts the
sincerity of its professions.
" The Government of India has no desire for conquest
now; but it is bound, in its duty, to provide fully for 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.
" Wherefore the Governor-General of India has de•
dared, and hereby proclaims, that the kingdom of the
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 treated with
consideratiou and honour. •
"The few chiefs who have not engaged in hostilities
against the British shall retaia their property and their
rank.
"The,British Government will leave to all the people
whether Mussulman, Hindoo, or Seikh, the free exerciEe
of their own religions, but it will not
interfere with others in theobsersanawd suols forms and
customs as their respective religions may either enjoin
or permit. permit any man to
" The Jagheers, and all the property of Sirdars or
others who have been in arms against the British, shall
be confiscated to the state.
" The defences of every fortified place in the Pun-
jaub which is not occupied by British troops shall be
totally destroyed, and effectual measures shall be taken
to deprive the people of
,the means of renewing either
tumult or war.
"The Governor General calls upon all the inhabitants
of the Punjaub, Sirdars and people, to submit themselves
peaceably 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 punished with prompt and most
rigorous severity.
"By order of the Right Hon. the Governor-General
of India,

"H. M. ELLIOT,
" Secretary to the Government of India,

THE PUNJAUB.
(From the Bombay Times.)
The annexation of the Punjaub 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 river and the mountains—the most produc-
tive and the most eherisbed 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 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
or ro-
bable. Whether it uhimately prove a blessing
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, Bahawulpore, and the ltajpoot states,
on the south and west, to complete our dominions—
Jamoo and Cashmere to relieve us of appreheasion 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
profit by the light of civilization, and set about snaking
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 tall
—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 s ) to such en 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, thaeks, 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 Attock, and the anticipations we 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
Ceuhul marauders. The fault was none of his—Dolt
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, bad 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 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
his ungovernable rabble. The Bombay troops had been
out. Thecsoeirns

W. Gilbert was to leave for Lahore on the 2d of
with the 30th Native Infantry as an escort. So soon as
the tidings reached that all which could be attempted
had been accomplished, the proclamation intimating the
annexation was issued. Mr. H. 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
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 mouth). Four Commis-
sioners have been named—viz., Messrs. Edward Thorn-
ton, R. Montgomery, D. MlLeod, and M. P. Edgeworth,
with a cloud of Deputy-Commissioners and assistants,
amongst whom the following have been already named
—Messrs. F. B. Pearson, Fane, W. J. R. Carnac,
IL Brereton, Philip Egerton, Edward Bayley, J. Wed.
derburn, Brand Sapte, G. F. Al‘Leod, H. B. Henderson,
D. Simeon, R. Simeon, 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 u 3 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 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. • ,

The foller.ving are the general orders of the Governor-
General, announcing the conclusion of the war:—

GENERAL ORDER lIVTHE RIGHT HON. THE GOVERNOR-

GENERAL OF INDIA.
Foreign Department, Camp Fdrezepore, April 2, 1849.
The Governor-General has the gratification (if pub-
lishing, for general information, dispatches which have
been received from his Excellency the Commander-in-
Chief, and from Major-General Sir Walter Gilbert,
K.C.8., announcing the termination of hostilities in the
Punjaub.

The Governor-General declared, that before the war
could cease, every enemy, whether Seikh or Affghon,
should be driven from before us; and the British army
has well and gallantly made good his words.
The Seikh Sirdars and the remnant of their army
were pursued, have surrendered, and have been dis-
armed.

The Ameer of Caubul with hie troops has fled before
Briti,h force, and has been chased ignominiously
From the territories he invaded.

The war has thus been brought to an end, and the
Punjaub has been declared a portion of the British em-
pire of India.
Once again the Governor-General offers to his Excel-
lency the Commander-in-Chief, to the general officers,
the officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of
the army, the assurance of his deep and unfeigned gra-
titude for the great services they have rendered to the
country by the zeal and energy they displayed, and
for the sustained and cheerful exertbns they have made.
In anticipation of the wishes of the lion. Coart of
Directors, the Governor-General will grant to every
officer and soldier who has been employed within the
Punjaub, in the campaign, to the date of the occupation
of Peshawur, a medal, bearing the word " Punjaub," in
commemoration of the honourable service they have
done. _ _

The Governor-General is also pleased to direct that
every corps which has been so employed shall bear the
same words on their standards, colours, and appoint-

ments.
The Governor-General desires to take this oppor-
tunity of acknowledging his obligations to officers who
have-been serving in various positions connected with
the army in the field.
The Governor-General is sensible of the zeal and
activity of Major. General Sir D. Hill, K.C.8., com-
manding the reserve, and ho would have looked with
confidence to his services if the division under his com-
mand hid been called into operation.
Brigadier• General Wheeler, C. 8., has executed the
several duties which have been committed to him with
skill and success; and the Governor-General has been
happy to convey to him his thanks.
The Governor-General is indebted to Brigadier
Stalker, commanding at Moultan, for the successful exer-
tions which have been made under his directions fur
placing the fort agein in a condition of defence, and for
maintaining the tranquillity of the country.
The Governor-General begs to acknowledge the ser•
vices which have been rendered by Lieutenant-Colonel
M'Sherry, Ist Native Infantry, commanding at Go-
vindghur. The enemy, vigilance, and tact which he
exhibited during his occupation of that important
fortress have loen•of much value to the Government of
India.
From Sir F. Currie, Resident at Lahore, previously to
his return to his seat in Council, the Governor-General
received at all times effective and most ready co-opera-
tion; and he.has continuer to receive from Lieutenant-
Colonel Sir H. Lawrence, K.C.8., the support which his
known ability and, experience enabled him to afford.
The rheritorious conduct of the several assistants to
the Resitlehitits elicited the strong approbation of the
GovernMent. In addition to those whom he has before
filmed; the Governor-General offers his especial thanks
Lb Major Gecko Lawrence for the able management
which so long enabled him to maintain his position at
Peshawar, an to Captain James Aobott for the gallant '
stand he has made in the hills of liazarah.
Lieutenant Taylor has earned the full approbation of
the Government by his judicious and persevering efforts,
which regained and have held the province of Bunnoo.
The sustained defence of the fort of Attock, which
was made by Lieutenant Herbert under circumstances
ot great difficulty, has been viewed by the Government
of India with admiration, and entitled him to their
warmest praise.
Mr.. John Lawrence, Commissioner of the trans Sutlej
Province. has received the thanks of the Governor-Ge-
neral. Well seconded by his assistants in the district,
he has greatly contributed by his promptitude, energy,
and firmness, to the maintenance of the general tran-
quillity which has prevailed in these newly acquired ter-
ritories.
The Governor-General especially wishes to record his
marked approbation of the manner in which Major
Mackeson, C. 8., as his agent with the army, has dis•
charged the duties which were entrusted to him. In the
important political matters in which he has been en-
gaged, M ijor Mackeson's proceedings have been distin-
guished by ability, judgment, discretion, and firmness;
and the Governor General begs to convey to him the ex-
pression of his unqualified satisfaction.
The Governer-General concludes by tendering to the
officers of the Government in his camp sincere thanks
for the assistance he has at all times received from them.
He particularly desires to express his obligation to
Mr. Henry Elliot, Secretary to the Government of In-
dia, for his very able, laborious, and most valuable aid in
the important affairs which occupied the Governor-Gene-
ral's attention; and to Colonel Stuart, C. 8., military
secretary to the Government of India, and to Lieutenant-
Colonel Benson, C. 8., member of the military board with
the Governor-General, for the great assistance he has
derived from their experience and judgment in the affairs
of their respective departments.
While thus congratulating the army and British sub-
jects in India on the triumphant success which has been
achieved, the Governor-General desires humbly to ac-
knowledge the hand by which alone all victory is given.
He has accordingly intimated to the Lord Bishop his
wish that on the first Sunday in May thanksgiving shall
be offered to Almighty God for the successtul termina-
tion of the war in which we have been engaged, and for
the restoration to the people of the blessing ot peace.
By order of the Right lion. the Governor-General of
India, IL M. ELLIOT, Secretary to the
Government of India, with the Governor-General.
The following dispatches describe the operations under
General Gilbert in pursuit of the Affghans, and the ter-
mination of the campaign :

your Lordship a copy of a dispatch received this

tion of Peshawur by the British troops ; the
precipitate retreat of the Ameer Dost Mahomed
Khan and his followers beyond the Khyber Pass, and the
consequent dissolution of the Affghan confederacy.
These brilliant results have been obtained, your Lord-
ship will observe, without a tingle shot being fired by
our troops since the victory of Goojerat on the 2 let ult.
It is almost superfluous for me to repeat to your
Lordship how very highly I estimate the unwearied and
zealous exertions iu these subsequent movements of that
most energetic and able officer, Major-General Gilbert,
and the excellent troops under his command.
In soliciting your Lordship's particular attention to
Major-General Gilbert's commendation of Major F.
Mackeson, C. 8., your Lordship's agent with the force,
I beg to repeat the high sense 1 entertain of that officer's
merits, and the excellent service he has rendered
throughout the campaign.
The Seikh rebellion and Affghan confederacy having
been now effectually put down and overthrowniolll3)::e beg to
be favoured with your Lordship's instrucctinlsas I,

merited the approbation of your Lordship
country.
