vernor .General was expected to quit the Lahore state on
the 20th of March, and to proceed into the newly-acquired
provinces to the east of the Bens in company with Sir C.
Napier, where they will to have to regulate the cantonments.
It appears to be expected that the Governor-General will
pass the hot and rainy months at Simla.
No mention is made in the Lahore treaty of the province
of Peshawar, of which the Affghans, under the notorious
Akbar Khan, are anxious to repossess themselves. This is
calculated to prove a new source of discussion, and perhaps
of conflict, as soon as the season opens for a campaign. The
whole settlement of the Punjaukindicates a great wish on the
part of both the Powers to make terms as quick as possible,
and the results may be confusion and disputes hereafter.
The Nizam's finances are still in the utmost disorder, and
must speedily require the application of a strong remedy by
the paramount Government of India.
The hot months had begun in India, and great complaints
were heard of the want of water, in consequence of the
scanty fall during the last monsoon. A famine was feared in
various districts
.during the two months which had to elapse
before the rains set in.
The news from China was to the 27th of February, which
we received by the last mail. The French steamer,
Archimede, with M. Lagrinie on board, had arrived in
Bombay harbour on the Ist of April. He appears to be
making a tour of all the great ports of India, having visited
Calcutta, Madras, Trincomalee, Colombo, Bombay, &c.
The resolution of the • Dutch Government to conquer the
fertile island of Bali, with nearly 2,000,000 of inhabitants,
has awakened the most indignant feelings amongst the mer-
chants of Singapore, as being contrary to the treaty signed
by Mr. Canning and Baron Fagel on the 17th of March
1824. This island is a valuable acquisition, and it ought not,
to be allowed to pass over to the cruelties of the Dutch slave
owners with impunity.
The Governor of Bombay, Sir George Arthur, had a severe
attack of illness, but was recovering. His retirement from
India was spoken of as approaching,

:(From the Bombay Tinies of April 1.)
THE PUNJAUB.

The latest Lahore intelligence contained in our last extended to
the Ist of March—the latter portion being scanty and incomplete.
Ghoolab Singh had, at this time, been appointed Vuezeer—the first
instalment of the indemnity was said to have been paid, the Khalsas
were believed to be dispersing, and Lahore was garrisoned by
British troops. It was a fortn+ght since we understood that our
army would break up about the 12th, and before the 20th be entirely
within our own frontier. Since then a considerable proportien of
these arrangements have been altered, We shall come to the ex-
planation of the changes which have acetified by and by : mean-
while we must take up the narrative of events in the order of
their occurrence. The village near camp, called Chooney,
having been plundered, a stern order, intimating that camp fol-
lowers convicted of such malpractices as this would be hung
on the spot, was issued. On the 2d the troops were inspected
by the Commander-in-Chief, and presented a very fine appearance,
Officers were alleived to visit the city and environs with a pass and
escort, and nothing could be more orderly and respectful than the
conduct of all classes of the people. Traffic, which on our approach
was interrupted, was renewed with double vigour, the dealers in
each supplies as were required in camp reaping an abundant har-
vest. The Khalsa troops came iii by regiments to receive their ar-
rears of pay. Five months' was due to them—two were struck
off; so that for the fighting portion of their setileB they got no re-
ward at all. Even that allowed them was reduced from 245. to
14s. a month—the former being the sum extorted by them since
they took the regulation of allowances into their own hands-120,
was all they obtained from Runjeet Singh, and to this the newly
organised army is to be restricted. Seventeen bullock cart-loads
of rupees, amounting to 215,0001., came into camp on the sth,
and the whole of the Seikh cannon used against us, thirty-six
in number, were surrendered. Sir Charles Napier, who had ar-
rived in camp on the 3d, was received with the most marked
consideration. Two days .afterwards a general review of the
army took place. Sir C. Napier was introduced by Sir Henry Har-
dinge to ll.M.'s 50th, the regiment lie had commanded at Corunna,
and in the evening a splendid entertainment was given by the Clover.
nor General. According to the Kurrachec Advertiser (other authori-
ties arc silent on the subject) Sir H. Ilardinge asserted that he had
sent for the here of Meance to take his place as second in command,
as lie expected the reduction of Lahore, Umritser, and GoVliulghur,
to be difficult and protracted operations. He complimented him
highly on the civil government of Sinde. An entire and complete
alteration began now to be found necessary in the arrangements.
The jealousies existing between Ghoolab and Lail Singh
being found an insurmountable obstacle to the Vuzzeership
remaining in the hands of the former, the entreaties of the
Queen was listened to, and the latter nominated in his place. When
the promise of a million and a half of indemnity was made, it must
have been well known to those who made it that in the treasury of
the state no such sum was to be found. The hoards of Runjeet
Singh had all been squandered, and by the time the arrears of the
army, and the first instalment of the indemnity was paid, the last
shilling was expended. The Government being unable to pay the
whole of the sum they had promised, or to give satisfactory security
for its eventual payment, the whole of the territories between the
Bess and the Indus, including the provinces of Cashmere and
Hazara, were ceded to us in perpetuity in lieu of the million they
found themselves unable to make up ; the half million 1) as paid
when the treaty was ratified. Ghoolab Singh having agreed
to pay half a million now, and a quarter of a million on or
before the Ist of October, had the whole of the country last ceded
to us betwixt the Beas and Indus made over to him, including
Chumba, but excluding Lalool ; which last, we presume, makes up
for the detective 25,0001. required to bring the total up to the million
and a half originally promised us. He was to recognise the supre-
macy of the British Government, and to present them annually one
horse, twelve shawl goats, and three pairs of Cashmere shawls. He
was to assist up with his troops whenever any army should be em-
ployed in his neighbourhood, and all his disputes and quarrels with
those around him were to be referred to our arbitrement. No Euro-
pean or American, or subject of the British Government,
was ever to be employed by him without our consent ;
in defending himself from his enemies he was to have
the benefit of our assistance. This dismemberment of the
empire may be humiliating to the representatives of the
ruler by whose vigour it was consolidated, but for us it is eminently
expedient. We have now not one but a multitude of chiefs to deal
with, in the last degree jealous of each other, with scarcely a single
sentiment in common, save apprehension of us. Ten thousand
British troops, with thirty-six pieces of artillery, are, by request
of Q. neTein. to be

have pledged ourselves that then they shall be withdrawn ; the extra
charges of their maintenance being met by the treasury. The fol-
lowing are the corps ordered to stand fast :—Day's Troop of Horse
Artillery, Horsford's Battery, Fordyce's ditto, two reserve Companies
of Foot Artillery—viz., the 2d Company 2d Battalion, and 4th Com-
pany 4th Battalion, the Bth and 9th Companies of Sappers and
Miners, a wing of the 2d Irregular Cavalry, two 18-pounders, two
8-inch howitzers, her Majesty's 80th Foot, the 6th, 12th, 27th
42d, 43d, 45th, 47th, and 68th Native Infantry. The Commander-in-

Chief had made a short sweep of the fortresses near the capital, with
a view especially of examining those of Uniritser and Govindghur,
of which, we should imagine, plans arc likely to be taken. His ab-
sence was expected to be of short duration : his final departure from
Lahore was fixed for the 18th or 20th. Sir John Littler had moved
his troops somewhat to the south-west, and the new camp was esta-
blished considerably more near than the former one to the capital.
A portion of the Seikh army is to be re-embodied for the service of
the state, and paid at the rate allowed them under Runjeet Singh—
sixpence per diem or thereabouts it is to consist of 25 battalions of
infantry, 800 strong, with 12,000 cavalry—or 32,000 in all, and on
no account to be increased without our consent. How a body of
some 50,000 discontented and vindictive men are hereafter to be kept
quiet or disposed of, must be matter of the gravest concernment to
their own Government as well as ours ; and it seems not unlikely
that indacements may by-and-bye Le held out to them to join the
ranks of the British army. The Jullander Doab proves on exami-
nation to he more rich and fertile than it was supposed to be. The
Seikh prejudices are so strong against the killing of the sacred cow,
that as few Europeans as possible are to be quartered in our new
dominions. The Governor-General returns by Umritser and Roopur,
thence to Sultanpore and the other military stations in our new
dominions he will thence proceed to Umballah on his way to Simla,
where he will spend the hot season, watching from a convenient
distance the effects of the political arrangements just made. The
chiefs who held estates under grants from Runjeet Singh are to be
allowed to continue in possession of them, in the confiscated states,
paying to us the contributions formerly made by them to the Seikh
treasury.
We yesterday received the treaty, with relative correspondence, by
special express.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.
Foreign Department, Camp Urnritser, the 16th March, 1846.
The Right Honourable the Governor-General of India has been
pleased to direct the publication for general information, of the sub-
joined extracts from the proceedings of the Government of India, re-
lative to the re-establishment of amicable relations between the
British Government and the State of Lahore, and the recognition of
the independence of Maharaja Ghoolab Singh.
Note of conference between F. Currie, Esq., and Major H. M. Law-
rence, on the one part, and the Minister and Chiefs of the Lahore
Durban on the other, Bth March, 1846.
The Ministers and Chiefs having assembled at the tent of the
Governor-General's agent, for the purpose of signing the treaty, the
conditions of which had been previously discussed and determined,
produced, on the part of the Maharaja, a letter addressed to Major
Lawrence, the Governor-General's agent, of which the fellswing is a
translation :

" The feelings of consideration, kindness, and generosity which
have been evinced towards the Lahore state by the Right Hon. the
Governor-General, and his Excellency's respect for the former
friendship of the British Government, with the late Maharaja Rua-
jest Singh, have been communicated to me through Mr. Secretary
Currie and yourself, and have caused me to feel most grateful.
" Certain important matters will now be represented to you by the
following confidential personages : .

Bhaee Ram Singh,
Rajah Lai Singh,
Birder Tej Singh,
Dewan Deenanath,
Fugueer Noor-ood-deen,

and you, who are the guardian of the perpetual friendship of the two
Governments, will represent these matters to the Governor-General,
and will, doubtless, use your endeavours to procure a favourable de-
cision regarding them.
The Lahore Government, it is known, is endeavouring to ar-
range its affairs, and it is necessary that effectual ;measures should
be taken to prevent the recurrence of any disturbances. With this
view it it is very desirable that some British regiments, with artil-
lery and officers, should be directed to remain at Lahore for a few
months for the protection of the State. After affairs have been sa-
tisfactorily settled, and the period which may be fixed upon expired,
the British troops will then return."

To the above paper the following reply was made verbally, and
was, at the request of the Minister and Chiefs, written down and
given to them:—

" The letter from the Maharaja to Major Lawrence, expressing
gratitude to the Governor-General, has been read in presence of the
Minister and Chiefs of the durbar. At the close of that letter, it is
requested that a British force may be left at Lahore for a limited
period.

" Upon this, it is to be observed, that from the wording of the
letter, it is not evident that the retention of a British force at Lahore
is sincerely and urgently desired by the Lahore Government, and the
nature of the disturbances which arc to be provided against are net
specifically described. In se important a matter general expressions
are out of place. The British Government desires to exercise no in-
terference with tie Government of Lahore after the treaty of peace
is concluded, and the Governor-General is not willing to have any
concern with the Lahore Government, or to accede to any measure
not provided for by the treaty. This has been repeatedly explained
to the Lahore durbar. If, therefore, for any special reason, and
on any particular account, the assistance and intervention
of the British Government are desired by the Lahore durbar,
the fact should have been more distinctly stated in the Khur-
recta, and the causes which render such aid indispensable should
have been given in detail. However, as the Maharaja has au-
thorised the chief named in the Khurreeta, and who are present, to
make known all the particulars of the case, they should now state all
the circumstances in dill."
The Minister and Chiefs after consultation, read aloud the sub-
stance of the paper, of witch the following is a translation, but re-
quested that it might be put in the form of a Khurreeta from the
Maharaja and sent In the evening. A communication was then
made to tie Governor-General, who determined that a British force
should, under certain oonditions, to be entered in a separate engage
melt, occupy Lahore for a limited time ; the treaty was then -
signed
by the commissioners, and the meeting broke up.

The satisfactory settlement of affairs, the discharge of the dis-

stipulations of the new treaty, are now engaging consideration. But
lest after the departure of the British forces the evil disposed should
create fresh disturbances, and endeavour to ruin the state, it is the
earnest and sincere desire and hope of the Lahore durbar
that British troops with intelligent officers should, for some
months, as circumstances may seem to require, be left at Lahore for
the protection of the Government and the Maharaja and the inha-
bitants of the city. When affairs have been satisfactorily settled,
and the period prescribed for the stay of the British force shall have
expired, the troops may then be withdrawn."

GENERAL ORDER BY THE RIGHT HON. THE GOVERNOR-
Foreign DepartmentGENEßAL, CaOmp Lahore, the Ath March, 1846.
The treaty of peace between the British Government an gift%
his Highness the Maharaja Dhtileep Singh has been signed.
The treaty will be ratified by the Governor-General in presence of
the Maharaja and the Seikh Chiefs to morrow afternoon, the 9st lust.,
at four o'clock, in the Governor-General's tent.
The Governor-General invites his Excellency the Commander-in-
Chief, his Excellency the Governor of Sinde, with their present staff,
to attend on this occasion ; also the generals of divisions, the bri-
gadiers, the head of each department, and all officers commanding
corps, with one native officer from every regiment.
III; H4llllBBB the Maharaja. Dhuleep Singli will toe recatretl by a

salute of 21 guns. The street leading to the Governor-General's
tent will be lined by detachnients of regiments according to the
orders which his Excellency the Commander-in-atief will be pleased
to issue.

The following day the Governor-General will pay his llighness the
Maharaja a visit of congratulation on the restoration of peace be-
tween the two Governments, and will leave the camp for that pur-
pose at three o'clock. The escort will be fixed in the General Order
of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief.
The 36 pieces of Siekh artillery, which were pointed against the
British army, have been surrendered and brought into camp. The
disbandment of the Selkh army, its reorganisation on the same rate
of pay as in the the time of the late Maharaja Runjeet Single, and
the limitation of its numbers, have been settled by the treaty.
At the earnest solicitation of the Government of the Maharaja
Dhuleep Singh, the Governor-General has consented to occupy the
citadel and town of Lahore by British troops for a limited period,
that opportunity may be afforded the Lahore Government of com-
pleting the reorganisation of its army according to the stipulations
of the treaty.
If by the good offices of the British Government peace and order
can take the place of the military anarchy and misrule by which
the Seikh nation has been brought to the verge of dissolution, the
Governor-General will rejoice that the co-operation of the British
Government, by the aid of its faithful army, shall have been suc-
cessful in effecting that object, It is the strongest proof which
the British Government can give of the sincerity of its desire to see
a Seikh Government reestablished. The British Government
having afforded the protection desired,"the troops will be withdrawn
before the end of the year. The details of the force will be deter-
mined between the Governor General and his Excellency the Com-
mander-in-Chief. During the period of occupation the native troops
will continue to receive Sinde pay and allowances.
It is by the valour and discipline of the British troops, led by their
distinguished commanders, that these important and complete suc-
cesses have been gained, and the Governor General is confident that
during the temporary occupation of the fortified town of Lahore, the
troops will prove by their good conduct that they are as generous
and humane after victory, as they are brave and invincible in the
field of battle.

By order of the Right llon. the Governor-General of India.

MEMORANDUM OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF A DIJEBAIC

HELD AT LAIIORE ON THE 9TH OF MARCH, 1846.

At four r.a.t. of the 9th March, a public durbar was ;held in the
state tent of the Right lion. the Governor-General, at which his
Excellency the Commander-in-Chief and staff, his Excellency the
Governor of Sinde and staff, with the British and native officers.
invited by the Governor General's order, dated Bth instant, attended.
The young Maharaja of Lahore,* attended by the Minister Raja
Lall Singh, Raja Ghoolab Singh, the Commander-in-Chief ,of the
Lahore army, Sirdar Tej Singh, and about thirty other sirdars and
civil officers, with their suites, being present. _

After the treaty of peace was rati&ti and exchanged with the
usual ceremonies, the Governor-Goner 11 addressed the chiefs in the
following terms, the address being trar slated, sentence by sentence,
by the secretary to the Government of India, Mr. F. Currie :
"On this occasion of ratifying the treaty of peace between the
British Government and the Maliara, a Dhuleep Singh, in the pre-
sence of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, his Excellency the
Governor of Sinde, and the officers of the British army on the one
band, and of the Seikh Chiefs on till, other, I have to repeat the
assurances which have so often been given by me and by my prede-
cessors, of our desire that peace and friendship may always subsist
between the two Governments.

" The British Government desires to see a Seikh Government re-
establiSlied which may be able to control its army protect its sub-
jects, and willing to respect the rights of its neighbours.
"By this treaty the Lahore Government has sufficient strength to
resist and punish any native power which may ven.ure to assail it,
and to put down all internal commotions.
" Wisdom in council and good faith in fulfilling its engagements
will cause the Seikh Government to be respected, and enable it to pre-
serve its national independence.
" For forty years it was the policy, in Runject Singh's time, to
cultivate friendly relations between the two Governments, and
during the whole of that period the Seikh nation was independent and
happy. Let the policy of that able man towards the British Govern-
ment be the model for your future imitation.
" The British Government in no respect provoked the late war.
It had no objects of aggrandisement to obtain by hostilities. The
proof of its sincerity is to be found in its moderation in the hour of
Victory.
"A just quarrel, followed by a successful war, has not changed the
policy of the British Government. The British Governrnentdoes not
desire to interfere in your internal affairs. lam ready and anxious
to withdraw every British soldier from Lahore. At the earnest soli-
citation of the Seikh Government, I have reluctantly consented to
leave a British force in' garrison at Lahore until time shall have been
afforded for the re-organization of the Seikh army, by which assist-
ance the stipulations of the treaty may be more easily carried into
effect.

" In no case can I consent that the British troops shall remain in
garrison for a longer period than the end of this year.
" I state this publicly, that all the world may know the truth. and
the motives by which I am actuated in this matter.

Sella; army must, according to the ti•ertt3, be immediately
reorganised by adverting to the same system and rate of pay as in
Runject Singh's time.
" If the friendly assistance now afforded by the British Govern-
ment be wisely followed up, and honest exertions made by the
chiefs without delay, you will become an independent and prosperous
state.

" The success or failure is in your own hands : my co-operation
shall not be wanting, but if you neglect this opportunity, no aid on
the part of the British Government can save the state. . _

"4 leave my political agent, Major Lawrence, assisted by
Major
M'Gregor and a most able general officer, Sir John Littler, to cern'
mend the British troops. These officers possess ray entire confidence-
" Again I repeat that my anxious desire is to see the Seikh Govern-
ment strong and respected, an obedient army, patriotic chiefs, and a
happy people,

trust the reign of the Maharaja will be long and prosperous,
and celebrated for the happiness of his people under a just and
pacific Government,"
At the close of this address, the Sirdars expressed in warm tering
their gratitnde to the Governor-General, and their resolution to
follow the advice his Excellency had given.
The usual presents were then given, after which the durbar broke
up. (Signed) F. CURRIE,
Secretary to the Government of India, with the
Governor-General.

TREATY BETWEEN THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT

AND THE STATE OF LAHORE.

Whereas the treaty of amity and concord, which was concluded be-
tween the British Government and the late Maharaja Runjeet Singh,
the ruler of Lahore, in 1809, was broken by the unprovoked aggresion, on
the British provinces, of the Sikh army In Decembt-tr last ; and whereas

then in the occupation of the Maharaja of Lahore, and that the left
