gratulation to. the Maharaja Dhuleep Singh, at the Palace in Lahore.

the following is a translation :

"• It Is impossible for us adequately to express the gratitude which
we feel to the Governor-General for his having determined to con-
tinue the ancient relations which existed with the late Maharaja
Runjeet Singh, and for his generosity, kindness, and mercy in main-
-tattling this Government.

" For the excellent advice which was given yesterday through
kindness and friendship, to the assembled Sirdars exhorting them to
unanimity, prudence, and good goveriunent4we are also most grate-
ful. We consider this good advice as having a direct tendency to
effect, the re-establishment of the Government of the country. We have
further to express our gratitude for arrangements having generously
been made, in Compliance with our solicitations, for leaving a gar-
rjson in Lahore of British troops, with Major Lawrence and other
trustworthy officers, for our protection and that of the city.
" These troops will assuredly be honestly dismissed towards the
Sutlej, upon a satisfactory settlement of affairs being effected, within
the period prescribed for their stay,
" The various acts of generosity shown by the Governor-General
on the present occasion entirely satisfy us that his Excellency will
ever maintain the same magnanimous and generous policy towards
this state, and that taking compassion on the extreme youth of the
Maharaja, his Excellency will maintain all those friendly relations
which existed is the time of the late Maharaja Runjeet Singh."
After the presentation by the Maharaja of the usual offerings, the
Governor-General and suite returned to camp.
