I joined the camp of the Commander-in• Chief at Kussoor
on the morning of the 14th.

On the arrival at Lahore of the news of the complete vic-
tory of Sobraon, the Ranee and Durbar urged Raja Golab
Sing to proceed immediately to the British ca.enp, to beg
pardon in the name of the Durbar and the Seikh Government
for the offence which had been committed, and to endeavour
to negotiate some arrangement for the preservation of :the
country from utter ruin.

The Raja first stipulated that the Durbar and the ct ief
officers of the army, as well as the members of the Pun-
chayets. should sign a solemn declaration that they would
abide by such terms as he might determine on with tb e
British Government. This is said to have been immediat el y
acceded to; and, on the 15th, Raja Golab Sing, Dewan D en a
Nath, and Fakeer Nooroodeen arrived in my camp at Kul ;-
sour, with full credentials from the Mahe Baja, and eir t-
powered to agree, in the name of the Melia Raja and the Gs 3.-
vernment, to such farms as I might dictate. The Raja w-las
accompanied by the Bar ukzie Chief, Sooltan Mahone
Khan, and several of the most influential Sirdars of I ;he
nation.

I received the Raja in Durbar as the representative of am
offending Government, omitting the forms and ceremonies:
❑sually observed on the occasion of friendly meetings, and.
refusing to receive, at that time, the proffered Nuzzurs and.
complimentary offerings.

I briefly explained to the Raja and his colleagues that the
offence which had been committed was most serious, and the
conduct of the chiefs and army was most unwarrantable—
that this once had been perpetrated without the shadow
of any cause or quarrel on the part of the British Govern-
ment, in the face of an existing treaty of amity and friend-
ship,—and that, as all Asia had witnessed the injurious con-
duct of the Seikh nation, retributi% e justice required that tha
proceedings of the British Government should be of a cha-
racter which would mark to the whole world that insult
could not be offered to jlie British Government, and our pro-
vinces invaded by a hostile army, without signal punish-

ment.
I told the Raja that I recognized the wisdom, prudence,
and good feeling evinced by him in having kept himself
separate from these unjustifiable hostilities of the Seikhs,
and that I was prepared to mark my sense of that conduct
in the proceedings which must now be carried through. I
stated, in the moat marked manner and words, my satisfac-
tion that he who had not participated in the offence, and
whose wisdom and good feeling towards the British Govern-
ment were well known, had been the person chosen by the
Durbar as their representative for negotiating the means by
which the atonement might be made, and the terms on
which the Seikh Government might be rescued from impend-
ing destruction, by a return to amicable relations between the
British Government and the Lahore State. •
I told the Raja and his colleagues that Mr. Currie, the
Chief Secretary to Government, and Major Lawrence, my
agent, were in full possession of my determination on the
subject; that they were in my entire confidence; and I re-
ferred the chiefs to those officers, that they might learn from
them the principles and details of adjustment which I had
determined to offer for their immediate acceptance. •
The chiefs remained the greater part of the night in con-
ference with Mr. Currie and Major Lawrence; but, before
they separated, a paper was signed by them to the effect that
all that had been demanded would be conceded, and that ar-
rangements would be immediately made, as far as were in
the power of the chiefs, to carry out all the details that had
been explained to them.
The terms demanded and conceded are, the surrender, in
full sovereignty, of the territory, hill, and plain, lying be-
tween the Sutlej and Beas rivers, and the payment of one and
a half crores of rupees as indemnity for the expenses of the
war—the disbandment of the present Seikh army, and its
re• organisation on the system and regulations with regard to
pay which obtained in the time of the late Maharaja Runjeet
Sing—the arrangement for limiting the extent of the force
to be henceforth employed, to be determined on in commu-
nication with the British Government—the surrender to us
of all the guns that bad been pointed against us—the entire
regulation and control of both banks of the river Sutlej, and
such other arrangements for settling the future boundaries of
the Seikh State,and the organisation of its administration, as
might be determined on at Lahore.
It was further arranged that the Maha Raja, with Bhaee
Ram Sing, and the other chiefs remaining at Lahore should
forthwith repair to the camp of the Governor-General, and
place thenfielves in the hands of the Governor- General, to
accompany his camp to Lahore.
I had prepared, for circulation on my arrival at Kussoor,
a proclamation declaratory of my present views and inten-
tions, with regard to the Punjab, a translation of which was
given to Raja Golab Sing and his colleagues, and a copy of
wl.ich is enclosed for your information.
It was determined that the Malia Raja should meet me at
Lulleana on the 18th (yesterday), when the camp arrived at
that place. On the afternoon of the 17th, it was announced
to me, that the Maha Raja, with Bhaee Ram Sing and other
chiefs, had instantly on receiving the summons from Raja
Golab Sing, hastened from Lahore, and that they had arrived
at Raja Golab Sing's camp, pitched about a mile beyond our
picquets, and that his Highness was ready at once to wait
upon me.
I consider it right to abide by the first arrangement, and 1
directed that it should be intimated to the Maha Raja and
the chiefs, that I would receive his Highness, on the del
appointed, at Lulleana, eleven miles in advance, on the read
to Lahore.
Yesterday afternoon, the Maha Raja, attended by RAO
Golab Sing, Dewan Deena Nath, Fakeer Nooroodeen,
Bhaee Ram Sing, and ten or twelve other chiefs, had an in'
interview with me in my Durbar tent, where the Commander'
in-Chief and Staff had been invited by me to be present to
receive them.
As on the occasion of Raja Golab Sing's visit, I omitted
the usual salute to the Maha Raja, and curtailed the othet
customary ceremonies on his arrival at my tent, causing 3
to be explained that, until submission had been distilled,'
tendered by the Maha Raja in person, he could not be reed
nized, and received, as a friendly Prince.
Submission was tendered by the Minister and chiefs, who ,k
accompanied the Maha Raja, and the pardon of the Britt
Government was requested on such conditions as I she
dictate, in the most explicit terms : after which, I state,
;
that the conditions having been distinctly made known itt
the Minister Raja Golab Sing and the chiefs accredited leitti
him, it was unnecessary to discuss them in that place, as
in the presence of the young Maha Raja, who was of teol
tender an age to take part in such matters, and that, as o,
the requirements of the British Government had been 5,.•
quiesced in, and their fulfilment promised in the name of tme4
Mahe Raja and Durbar, I should consider myself justi6 •
in treating the young Maha Raja from that moment, ast.
Prince restored to the friendship of the British Governmes
After some remarks, regarding the fame and charaetera
the late Maha Raja Runjeet Sing, and hope that the e'le
Prince would follow the footsteps of his father, and my cle'tio
that such relations should henceforward exist between
two states as would tend to the benefit of both, I broiee
the Durbar.
be
On his taking leave, I caused the customary presents to
made to the Maha Raja ; and, on his retiring from my to nt,
the usual salute was fired from our 24-pounders, drawn uP
the bottom of the street of tents for that purpose. to
In the course of discussion, the Minister asked, if e.g.
young Maha Raja should now return to the Ranee at e0"-ii
hore, or if it was my desire that he should remain at
camp? intimating that it was for me to dispose of the
Chief as I pleased, and as I might consider best for his 1410
ness's interests. I replied, that I thought it advisable t
his Highness's camp should accompany mine, and that
0004
should myself conduct him to his capital, which I elirP

The remains of the Seikh army, under Sirdar Tej Sin
Raja Lal Sing, on retiring from Sobraon, encamped at be
barn, about 18 miles east of Lahore. They are variously et
titnated at from 14,000 to 20,000 horse and foot, with $OOO
35 guns. They had been positively ordered by Re.i'.l.e.,;eeD
Sing to remain stationary, and the Mahomedan and e`4.04
battalions, in the interest of the Minister, have been P'_'`,oo
in the citadel and at the gates of Lahore, with strict oro
permit no rmed Seikh soldier to enter the town.
It was intimated to me, late last night, that the 1.017. tee
ants of Lahore and Umritsur were in great alarm :_de
approach of our army to the capital, and were under
hension that those cities might be sacked and plunder:4ot
our troops. I therefore caused the proclamation, a ot°
which is inclosed, to be issued to the inhabitants ttr
cities, informing them of the result of my intervie°
epos
the Malta Raja, and assuring them of protection, in Po eer
and property, if the Durbar acted in good faith, and I/
ther hostile opposition was offered by the army. t
On our arrival at this place (Kanha Kutchwa, ap°,e
1.l 00'
teen miles from the city of Lahore, and twelve from the
tonments), heavy firing for the best part of an hoot tee°
heard. This proved to be a salute of seven Nunn:gel/1

of the restoration of amicable relations.
