" Resolved,—That as the peace and security of our possessions in
India depend mainly on the faithful observance of existing treaties,
it is most important that the East India Company should maintain
all engagements with-the Native States with inviolable good faith
and honour.
" That a treaty of perpetual' friendship and alliance between the
honourable East India Company and his Highness Maharaja Pertaub
&lean, his heirs and successors, was concluded on the 25th of Sep-
tember, 1819, and afterwards duly ratified, by which, in consideration
of the antiquity of the Rouse of his Hizhness the Raja of Sattara,
and for State reasons of paramount importance, the British Govern-
ment agreed to cede, in perpetual Sovereignty to him, his heirs, and
successors, the territory of Sattara, for the maintenance of his family
in comfort and dignity.
" That his Highness the late Raja for upwards of seventeen years
governed his country and fulfilled all the conditions of his treaty with
the British Government in so exemplary a manner, that in Decem-
ber 1835, the Court of Directors unanimously, with the sanction of
the Board of Control, sent a sword of honour and a letter to his
ghness. Which letter was expressed in the following words
:
Your Highness,
" We have been highly gratified with the information from time to
time transmitted to us by our Government, on the subject of your
highness's exemplary fulfilment of the duties of that elevated situa-
tion in which it has pleased Providence to place you.
A course of conduct so suitable is your Highness's exalted sta-
tion, and so well calculated to promote the prosperity of your do-
Minions, and the happiness of your people as that which you hays
Wisely and uniformly pursued, while it reflects the highest honour on
Your own character, has imparted to our minds the feelings of unqua-
/lied satisfaction and pleasure.
" The liberality, also, which you have displayed, in executing at
Your own cost, various public works of great utility, and which has so
justly raised your reputation in the eyes of the princes and people of
India, gives you an additional claim to our approbation, respect, and
APPlause-.
" Impressed with these sentiments, the Court of Directors have
"flanimously resolved to transmit to you a Sword, which will he pre-
!tented tei you through the Government of Bombay, and which we
!rust You will receive with satisfaction, as a token of their high es-
teem and regard.
"With sincere wishes for your health and prosperity, we subscribe
°Urselves, in the name of the Court,

" Your Highness's
" Most faithful Friends,
(Signed) " W. S. CLARKE, Chairman.
" J. R. CARNAC, Deputy.

" 29th Deceitibir, 1835."
"That notwithstanding this unexampled testimony to his
Merits as a sovereign and as a man, the late Raja of Sattara was de-
Posed by the Government of Bombay on the sth of September, 1839,
for an alleged breach of- treaty, and has recently died an exile at
Benares, solemnly protesting his innocence, and never ceasing to de-
mand, to his dying hour, the opportunity of proving it.
"That Major J.D. Carpenter, the oflicer who had the custody of the
Raja's person, and was in constant communication with him for more
wan seven years, from the time of his arrival at Benares up to the
day of his death, wrote his own deliberate opinion, when called upon
in his letter to the Governor-General, dated lienares, 25th May, 1816,
in the• following words —(See Parliamentary Papers, No. 711, of
„ :—" To this end I carefully studied the whole of the voluminous
documents connected with his (the Raja's) case, and the result was a
belief in his innocence ; and this belief has been confirmed beyond a
doubt by subsequent disclosures, and by his pledging himself to prove
(his innocence) if permitted to do so, in his letter to Sir Henry
—ardiage, of the 12th December, 1844, forwarded through me, which
Pledge I am full persuaded he (the Raja is able to redeem."
" That it further appears that the whole of the late Raja's private
troperty was seized contrary to a distinct written pledge, under the
i of Sir James Carnac, the Governor of Bombay, confirmed by
_ three limes from Colonel Ovans, the Political Resident at Sattara,
Which property was never restored.
"Therefore resolved, —That, considering the responsible functions
etlinlated to this Company by the Legislature, and having regard for
honoure
.. of the empire, and security and good government of the
Rue- and princes of India, this Court earnestly recommends to the
the instituting of a
Court of Directors to obtain the sanction of the Board of Control to
br public and impartial inquiry into the charges
euzht
the against the late Raja of Sattara, and into the manner in which
Published evidence against him has been obtained, in order that
the
truththe rs or falsehood of that evidence may be made manifest, and
treated the
Government purged from the imputation of having
the late Raja of Sattara harshly, illegally, or vindictively."

DECLARATION OF HYGEISTS.
~:Whereas passing events are every day confirming the truth of
fr. MORISON'S SYSTEM of MEDICINE, in the support of
Which we have for many ye irs been engaged, firmly believing that
that system is the only true one, viz., that all diseases proceed from
4n Iraintrity of the blood and fluids, and can therefore only be eradi-
cated by proper vegetable purgation, we feel ourselves called upon
thus to record our adherence to Hygeian principles.
We also declare our belief in the incalculable benefits to he derived
Colitt the Sanitary Commission, which provides clean habitations and
Pure. air for tke poorer classes, which, together with a proper system
"vegetable purgation (to be carried out by all without the necessity
,0 Medical advice), is all that is necessary for keeping the nation in a
healthy state, and warding off attacks of cholera, influenza, or any
Other epidemic that may present itself.
~, We further protest, as in the petition presented to Parliament by
oir Benj. Hall, Bart., in the session of 1847, signed by 20,000 of the
Deople, against the poisons sold as medicines in the chemists' shops ;
'ltch as laudanum, prussic acid, arsenic, strichnia, &c. ; all of which
We consider engines of death and not of life, however administered.
Dated, at the British College of Health, London, this 27th day of
tlecember, in the year of our Lord, 1847.
