then to deprive her of three daughters, just past the age of twenty,

INDIA AND CHINA.

(From the Bombay Times of Jan. 15.)
THE PUNJAUB.

The very important treaty betwixt the Governor-General
and the Lahore Government reached us so close on the hour
of going to press with our last, that we were scarce left leisure
to peruse, much less to discuss it; and an outline of its con-
tents may now give our readers a more exact ides of its
spirit and objects than they would derive frem the document
itself. When it was found that the indemnity demanded by
us, to meet the charges of the war the Sikh armies had
begun, could not be provided from the Lahore treasury,
Ghoolab Singh undertook to make good the defective balance
on having Cashmere handed over to him, he himself to be
raised to the rank of an independent chief, under the title of
Maharaja. We, beine. parties :to these, undertook of course
to see the terms stipulated fulfill d, and as we had received
the price of Cashmere, to see the purchase made over from
one Seikh Government to another. Sheikh Emaum-ood-
Deen, with a considerable body of insurgents, having for a
time resisted this cession, a body of troops was ordered to the
frontier; when the insurgent chief, on coming to terms, dis-
closed the fact that he had all along been acting under in-
structions from the Wuzeer Lall Singh, and obtained from us
the-pledge, that if the accuracy of his allegations on those
points should be established to our satisfaction, he should be
relieved from the consequences of that which, while believed
to be a rebellion, was nothine else than a rising by order of
authority. The facts, as set forth, were established by public
investigation ; the durbar, as represented by Lall Single
had broken faith with u+; and had WQ so chosen it, we
might have held the unappropriated residue of Dhu-
leep Singh's dominions forfeited to our hands. The
treachery seemed to have been confined to an individual,
and it was determined that so should be the punishment.
The Governor-General consented to accept of the deposition
of the Wuzeer fur conduct in the consequences of which, had
he so chosen it, the whole Government might have been in-
volved. Now came the period for the retirement of our
troops, when as yet the durbar found itself utterly unable to
discharge satisfactorily the duties expected to be performed
by it. The services of a portion of our troops having been
solicited, they were promised, on the condition that we should
be intrusted with the civil government of the country during
the minority of the Maharaja, or till the 4th of September,
1854. The troops were to occupy Lahore, and any other
stations that might be considered expedient—in reality, it
has been already determined to push on an outpost to Pesha-
war; 220,0001. to be paid annually to meet the expenses of
the army. The departments of Government, in charge of
Seikb officers, were all to be under the direction and con-
trol of our resident, Colonel Lawrence. This is the first oc-
casion on which the Government of India, in assisting a na-
tive power, has shown as much consideration for the welfare
of the people as for the authority of their rulers; and when,
in placing arms in their hands, we have taken care to pre-
vent their being used for the purposes of tyranny
and oppression. The Maharaja and his Court having
proceeded to meet the Governor-General, the in-
terview where the treaty was ratified occurred at Bhairoowal
on the 22d of December. The spectacle was an august and
imposing one. On Christmas-day the Seikh chiefs were all
received in open durbar—the aharaja himself the follow-
ing day. There sat the Governor-General and Commander-
in-Chief on the one hand, covered with decorations, with the
most brilliant uniforms of the British army beside them. On
their right were the majestic forms, the splendid dresses, and
fierce visages of the most turbulent members of the Seikh
cabinet. The Governor-General addressed the assembled
multitude on the matters which had just occupied them, his
speech being interpreted to the Seikhs. On the 27th he
crossed the river, and proceeded on his way to tiniritsur, from
whence he was to proceed to Lahore, where he was expected
about New Year's-day, to return the visit of the young
Prince. The Queen-Mother seems, at length, to have ac-
quiesced in the arrangements, to which at first she was
averse. She accompanied her son to near the conclusion of
the journey, and waited to attend him on his return. Four
Seikh corps, with other troops, are to form a frontier brigade
at Peshawur, where Captain Lawrence is expected to have
command. Recruiting for these is proceeding with spirit and
activity. These tidings, anticipated in part, and trifling al.
together, as they are, furnish all we have in the shape of in-
telligence from the north-west. The Delhi Gazette, of the
6th inst., reached us at nine o'clock last night, from which
we copy the following intelligence, being the latest received
from Lahore :
"We have nothing of any importance to communicate
from Lahore since our last. No serious apprehensions seem
to be entertained for the safety of Lieutenant Lumsden in
Tuners on which we may safely place reliance, and the
instant extinction of a small emote at the conclusion of the
Mohurrum, which was got up outside the walls, amongst the
small number of Mussulmans of the town and of the British
garrison, proves how completely the spirit of good order has
imbued the whole population. In our supplement, which
contains several orders of interest, will be found one bearing
testimony, and a most jnst one, to the good conduct of our
troops while in garrison at Lahore. The Governor-General
could not have spoken too warmly in their praise. We learn
that Major. General Littler retains the command of the
Punjaub division, and will not, therefore, go to Cawnpoor, as
previously arranged, the Government baying acceded to his
reasonable request to be allowed to select a Jullundur station
for his place of permanent residence. It is understood that
he will fix his head-quarters at Hooshearpoor, but that will
depend, we presume, on the final arrangement of stations
which may be made by Government after the inspection now
in progress by the Commander-in-Chief. The Court of
T —L--- - a— C. al.,tpl.Ll/11 Vl tut
Governor-General, and the garrison in arrangements for
their return to the provinces. Her Majesty's 80th Foot,
the Artillery (Horse, we presume) and the 68th Native
Infantry, will be the first to leave. The Governor-General
would make his entrée on the day appointed in great state.
The arrival of the Ferozepoor troops will have swelled his
cortege very largely. A correspondent says, in reference to
our use of the term novel in respect to the arrangements
lately made for the future government of the Punjaub, that
we have the example of the Nagpoor state already before
us, where the same measures as those contemplated for La-
hore were adopted under the superintendence of Sir Richard
(then Mr.) Jenkins. The allusion is correct in most re-
spects, and the experiment then made is, from the success
which attended it, fully deserving of being carried out, as far
as may be practicable, in the Punjaub; for the Raja of Nag-
poor is, as our friend justly remarks, one of the few sovereigns
of any consequence of whom we hear nothing—which means
that he is in all respects a peaceable and well-affected ally,
giving us no trouble, and governing his people in a highly
creditable manner. The only difference of any consequence
between the affairs of the Nagpoor state, on the formal depo-
sition of Appa Saheb, and the elevation of the reigning Raja
to the throne, and those of the Punjaub at the present mo-
ment, is that the mother of Bajee Rao, a daaghter of Ragoj ?e
Bhonslah, was invested with the regency, which has very
properly not been the case in the late arrangements, on ac-
count of the disgust which the conduct of the mother of
Dhuleep Singh has created in the Seikhs. It must have been
bad indeed to have had such an effect on a people of notori-
ously lax morality. We are told by Mr. Jenkins, in his re -
port on the term itories of the Raja of Nagpoor. published some
twenty years ago in Calcutta, that, under the system which
was adopted, the principality progressively improved in re-
sources and prosperity until its final restoration to the Raja,
It is to be hoped that the result will be equally favourable to
Maharaja Dhuleep Singh."

SINDE.
We have letters from officers in various parts of Sinde,
coming down to the 7th inst. They give little or no news,
but convey nearly all we possess from the banks of the Indus.
We formerly intimated the general nature of the movements
intended to take place among the troops: a general order
has just been issued, directing the return to India of two
European and five native infantry regiments, with the 3d
Cavalry, and nearly the whole of the artillery—in all about
seven thousand men. The following are the particulars :-
3d Regiment Light Cavalry—From Shikarpoor to Bombay
and Shoolapoor, about Feb. 20, 184; Ist company, Ist
battalion, Artillery—From Kurrachee to Bombay and Ali-
mednuggur, about Feb. 1, 1847. 4th company, Ist bat-
talion, Artillery—From Kurrachee to Bombay and Shoola-
poor, about Feb. 10, 1847. Ist company, 2d battalion, Ar-•
tillery—From Kurrachee to Vingorla and Koolapoor, about
Feb. 10, 1847. 3d company, 2d battalion, Artillery—From
Kurrachee to Bombay and Ahmednuggur, about Feb. 1,
1847. 4th company, 2d battalion, Artillery—From Kurra-
chee to Bhooj, about Jan. 15, 1847. Her Majesty's 17th
Regiment—From Kurrachee to Bombay and England, ac-
cording as steamers arrive from Bombay for their transport.
(The whole of this corps has now reached the presidency.)
Her Majesty's 86th Regiment From Kurrachee to
Bombay and Poonab, ditto. (The first portion Las arrived
in Bombay.) 10th Regiment Native Infantry—From Gharra
to Bhooj, about Jan. 15, 1847. 12th Regiment Native In-
fantry—From ' Kurrachee to Rutnagherry and Kolapore,
about Jan. 10, 1847. 13th Regiment Native Infantry—
From Hydrabad to Vingorla and Belgaum, about Feb 10,
1847. 14th Regiment Native Infantry—From Hydrabad
to Rutnagherry and Kolapoor, about Jan. 10, 1847. 17th
Regiment -Native Infantry—From Hydrabad to Vingorla
and Dharwar, about Feb. 10, 1847. Consequent on these
removals, the following movements of corps in Sinde have
been ordered :—lst Regiment Sinde Horse—From Hydrabad
to Shikarpoor and north-west frontier. about Dec. 25,
1846. 3d Regiment Native Infantry—From Kurrachee to
Shikarpoor, on arrival of the 17th Regiment Native Infantry
at Kurrachee. 4th Regiment Native Infantry—From Shi-
karpoor to Kurrachee, on being relieved by the 3d Regiment
Native Infantry. 7th Regiment Native Infantry—From
Sukkur to Shikarpoor, under orders. Ist Beloochee Batta-
lion—From Kurrachee to Hydrabad, Dec. 28, 1846.
This, we presume, will still leave a force of betwixt 14,000
and 17,000 regulars and irregulars on the banks of the
Indus—a large body of men to maintain order amongst a
people with whom, we are assured, our Government
is in the last degree popular, and the characters of their
own late rulers held in the most sovereign disesteem !
It is true, that while we have this assurance one day,
we have on the following information from a quarter
no less distinguished than the Governor of Sinde,
that a general rising would in all likelihood be the Conse-
quence of the Ameers being allowed to reside on the Guzerat
and Cutch borders! Nearly the whole troops relieved are
drawn from Kurrachee and Hydrabad, where they were of
no use whatever in maintaining the tranquillity of the
frontiei; the north- western marches are strengthened by the
exchange of the Sinde Horse—l,ooo for the 3d Light
Cavalry—scarcely 300 strong, and the advance of the 7th
Native Infantry from Sukkur to Shikarpoor. The recent
brevet makes Sir Charles Napier a Lieutenant-General, and
in the Army List he stands second in point of seniority to
Sir Thomas lll'Mahon, present Commander-in-Chief. -His
promotion would have compelled his retirement from India
as senior to those under whom he might have required to
serve, but for a general order almost unprecedented in its
nature, specially appointing him to the staff of India. The
purpose for which this has been issued is involved in mystery.
Sir 'l'. M'Mahon having served the customary term of five
years, and had this period extended first to six, then to seven
years, has, when on the very point of departure, received
from the Horse Guards so pressing a request to remain that
it was impossible to decline obedience. It is said by Sir
C. Napier's friends that lie himself has no desire for the
ap-
pointment, his salary of 12,0001. a year in Sinde being
a
third higher than it would be after the exchange. It is
rumoured that he has hopes of the Commander-in-Clnefah'p
of India. On these points no one pretends to speak on ani
better authority than that of inference from facts.
