2. On account of the exertions of my army, under

Sirdar Tej Singh, and Sirdar Shere Singh, in quelling
the disturbances at Cashmere, which service was under-
taken for the purpose of maintaining the stipulations of
the treaty; and further, in consideration that no other
officers of the Lahore Durbar appeared to be implicated
in the crimes of the Vizier; in consideration of these
grounds, the British Government has acquitted this
State ; but that the Governor-General now deems it
proper that the Vizier should be banished from my
dominions, and that, therefore, it is necessary that I
should immediately dispatch him with his family to
Ferosepore.
With reference to these statements, I beg to state that
Icannot adequately return my grateful thanks for the
kind feelings which the British Government has evinced
towards me, in thus considering my tender age, and the
ancient relations of friendship which have subsisted be-
tween the British Government and the late Maharajah
Runjeet Singh.
The strict adherence of the British authorities to their
pledged words convinces me that these kind feelings Of
the British Government towards me will daily increase,
and that the ties of friendship and amity existing between
the two Governments, according to the treaties, will gain
strength day by day, through the interposition of Colo-
nel Lawrence, the agent to the Governor-General.
The approbation of -the British Government of the
services performed by the troops of this Government
employed in the Cashmere campaign, under the Con
mander-in-Chief, Sirdar Tej Singh, and S:rdar Shere
Singh, has afforded unbounded gratification to me and
the above named Sirdars, and the army in general. I am
thankful for the good offices of the Gov, rnor-General's
agent (who is appointed to increase the relations of friend-
ship subsisting between the two Governments) in having
settled the affairs of Cashmere in so satisfactory a man.
ner. You have stated that the British Government has
acquitted this state of the crimes of the Vizier, as none co
its other officers appear to have been implicated in his
crime, and that the British Government considered
his deposition by me as a sufficient atonement,
and have also considered it necessary ilea I should
remove the deposed Vizier from my territories, and dis-
patch him with his family to Ferosepore. Sir, you are
well aware that I have deposed the Vizier, and given
peremptory orders to him to take his departure for
Ferosepore without loss of time ; that preparations
necessary for his deperture have been
.madeeeand that
carriage, &e., hare been supplied by this Government
for the conveyance of his baggage. These circumstances
need not, therefore, be recapitulated. Ile has this day.
the Ist of Poos, 1903, taken his departure for his des-
tination.
In reply to your statement, that on the arrival of the
deposed Vizier with the Assistant Agent, a place for his
resid nee will be selected in the British territories, with
due regard to his dignity and comfort, according to the
instructions of the Governor-General ; I beg to say that
this proposal has originated in the kind feeling of the
British Government towards him, and redounds to the
tame of that Government.
You have stated that the feelings of friendship enter-
tained by the Governor-General towards me have re-
mained unimpaired, and that it is his Lordship's desire
to promote by every means in his power the stability of
my GNernment and the prosperity of the people ; that
the a itisfaetory proposals and the beneficial sugeestions,
as well as the exertions of the Governor-General's agent
(to whom the affairs of my Government are entrusted),
in the troublesome times in the State far the last eight
months, are well known facts; that these proceedings
of the agent prove the sincerity of the desire of the
Governor-General for the stability of this State, as ex-
pressed by his Lordship at the time of his making over
the treaty to me at Lahore. Sir, I have full confidence
in the kindness of the British Government, in the con-
tinuance of the favours of the Governor-General, and
the attention of the Governor-General's agent. I am
much gratified and thankful for the kindness which the
Governor-General's agent has evinced for these eight
months (since the conclusion of the treaty in the pre-
sence of the Governor-General), in protecting lives and
settling the affairs of the State to my satisfaction. I
return my grateful thanks for the kindness of the Go-
vernor General, and the exertions of the agent in set-
tling the affairs of Kangra, Cashmere, and Mooltan,
and in causing the arrears of the pay of the troops to
be discharged. The good counsels of the Governor.
General are impressed on my mind ; and I know it is
incumbent on me always to remain faithful to the stipu-
lations of the treaty.
You have stated that myself, the officers, and the de-
pendent Sirdars of the State should effect an arrange-
' meet for the administration of this Government in such
a manner that it may not prove prejudicial to the inte-
rests of the State; and you have also stated, that it is the
earnest desire of the Governor-• General that I should
enjoy independent possession of the State; but that the
British Government will, in future, afford no military aid
to the Lahore State, in consideration of the events which
have occurred during the last six months, more especi-
' ally on account of the perfidious and disloyal conduct of
the Vizier, and that the British force will, consequently.
be withdrawn after the expiration of the specified term;
and that myself and my officers and Sirdars should,
therefore, establish a strong Government, either by ap-
pointing an able Vizier, or by making semis other :ar-
rangement; and that the British Government will not
interfere in these matters, but that the Governor-
General will not fail to give his good counsels for
the stability of my State, consistently with the stipula-
tions of the treaty ; that I should explain to all my officers
' and Sirdars that the Governor-General is desirous
of maintaining the relations of friendship and amity
subsisting between the British Government and the in-
dependent chiefs, and that whenever the misrule of the
Government of any of those chiefs disturbs the peace
of the British frontier this Government will be held re-
sponsible for it ; that you, therefore, previously advise
me, in consideration of the friendship between the twp
Governments, to effect a satisfactory arrangement for
the administration of my State ; for, if in consequence
of the recurrence of misrule in my Government the
peace of the British frontier be disturbed, I should be
held responsible for the same ; and that you have written
all these instructions in a friendly style, without any
reserve,. that if I act up to them it will prove beneficial
to my State.
Sir, I feel most thankful on the perusal of your kind
letter, more especially on learning that you have written
to me without reserve, these instructions in a friendly
style for the welfare and stability of this State.

As the Gevernnr• General is desirous of maintaining
this State, it is not proper that the whole of the British
fume stationed here should be put to further inconve-
nience and annoyance. Nevertheless, with regard to
the necessity for establishing the Government of the
country, and the fact of the time for the withdrawal of
the troops having arrived, it is hoped that the agent,
with two battalions, and one regiment of cavalry, and
one battery, may be allowed to continue for some
months, during which, what still remains to be done to
complete the organisation of the Government in an effi-
cient manner may be effected ; and there can be no
doubt that Colonel Lawrence will, according to the pro-
,visions of the treaty, give every aid and assistance in
est; blishing the Government.

December 14, 1846.
The request of your Highness that a portion of the
British force now at Lahore, and the agent of the Go-
vernor-General, should remain after the expiration o'
the stipulated time, which measure your Highness states
to be necessary for the establishment of the Governmr nt
of the country, involves a departure from the provisions
of the articles of agreement executed on the 11th of
March last, and is a very important matter.
It seems to me desirable that the chiefs of the Durbar,
with the sirdars interested in the welfare of the Lahore
state, should assemble at my Dial= tent, to-morrow,
when I will lay before them distinctly the only conditions
on which the Governor-General will consent to a modi-
fication of the articles of agreement above referred to ;

and it will be well that these c.nefs and sirdars should
