INDIA AND CHINA.

(From the Times and Herald.)
Our dispatch, in anticipation of the Bombay mail of the
Ist of April, brings the gratifying intelligence of India being
at present in complete tranquillity. The late rapid campaign
on the Sutlej has terminated in the complete subjugation of
the Seikhs. Our correspondent has forwarded to us the
Delhi Gazette Extraordinary of the 23d of March, containing
several most important documents connected with the
treaties which were signed for the pacification of the Pun-
jaub. The first is a notification published by the Governor-
General, and contains a note of the conference held on the
Bth of March, between the British diplomatist, Mr. Currie,
and the Minister and chiefs of the Lahore durbar, and also
translations of two applications on behalf of the young Ma-
haraja Dhuleep Singh, praying for the protection of the
British troops.

The second document gives an account of the proceedings
attendant on the treaty.

The third is a memorandum of the proceedings of the
durbar (public levee) held at Lahore on the 9th of March,
in the state tent of the Governor-General, during which he
delivered an address, which was interpreted sentence by sen-
tence, to the Lahore Chiefs and Minister, by Mr. Currie.
The address is a remarkable document, as it explains the
policy of the British Government, and the stipulations which
are required from the Seikh Government.

The fourth document is the treaty of peace between the
British Qovernment and Dhuleep Singh. It is comprised
in 16 articles, and cedes all the territory south of the Sutlej,
and also the hill country which lies between the Bess
and the Indus, including the provinces of Cashmere and
ilusarah. The Maharaja is to pay 50. lass (half a million
sterling) on the ratification, and engages to disband all the
mutinous troops of Lahore, and to keep 20,000 infantry and
12,000 cavalry, and no more. The British armies are to be
allowed to pass through the Lahore territory, and all the
guns pointed against the British are to be surrendered, as in
fact they have been. The control of the rivers Beas and
Sutlej to the Indus is vested in the British. No European
or American is to be employed by the Lahore Government
without the sanction of the British. Rajah Ghoolab Singh
is to become an independent Sovereign in the territories
which the British may cede to him. All changes in the
frontiers of the Lahore state are prohibited, and all its dis-
putes are to be referred to the British authorities, who are
not to interfere in its internal administration.
This treaty is also remarkable in not using the title Pun-
jaub or Five Rivers. The dominions of Dhuleep are confined
to the Lahore state.

The fifth document is the memorandum of a state visit
paid by the Governor-General to the Maharaja Dhuleep
Singh, at which the Lahore Minister, Dewan Deen a Nath,
pronounced an address of thanks to the British leader for his
generosity.

The sixth is a note of the proceedings of the Minister and
Chiefs of Lahore, 'assembled together on the 11th of March
in durbar, during which articles of agreement were signed
for the occupation of the city of Lahore during ten months,
in order to protect the Maharaja while organising his army,
The seventh is a copy of the treaty entered into by the
Governor-Gene' al with the (now) Maharaja Ghoolab Singh,
to whom the British give over, in independent possession, all
the hilly or'mountainous country lying between the Ravee
and the Indus, including of course the valley of Cashmere
and the province of .Hazarah and Chumba, but excluding
Lahool.

Ghoolab Singh is to pay half A Luilliou via the ratigcation
