" London, December 7, 1848.

companying Resolntions, and that you will be pleased to publish the

RESOLUTIONS.

" That th East India Company having, by the first article of the
treaty contracted with Maharaj Pertaub Sing, on the 25th Septem-
ber, 1819, ' ceded the territory of Sattara to the Rajah of Sattara,
his heirs and successors in perpetual sovereignty,' and having by the
arst article of a treaty, concluded on the 4th September, 1839, with
31faharaj Shajee (commonly called Appa Sahib), solemnly confirmed
that article, the East India Company cannot alienate the territory of
Sattara from the rig!itful heir of the Rajah of Sattara, without a gross
Violation of public faith, and without shaking the confidence of the
Icrative Powers of India in the stability of the treaties into which they
have entered with the said Company.
"That the seizure of the Sattara territory by the East India Corn-
panY, by virtue of a construction arbitrarily put upon the said treaties
by the stronger of the two contracting parties, would he a proceeding
repugnant to every principle ofjastice, a breach of the law of nations,
and calculated to cast a foal stain upon the character of that Com-
pany and the British Government."
JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary.

0, kews'. Nothing of importance diversifies the con:l-
-awn place of the Court. The King amuses himself with
playing at soldiers, and exhausts afar from plethoric
treasury by expnsive uniforms, and new birds of para-
dise for his harem. The usual breaches of the peace saf
murders throughout the country occur. The death of
Colonel Wilcox, in charge of the Royal Observatory at
Lusknow, is a loss to science.
Hydrabad is enlivened by the prospect of a pettream-
ptogn against a contumacious Peerzada, administrator of
the revenues of one of the wealthiest shrines in the Ni-
zam's territories. This gentleman has confined his own
father, on account of a domestic crime which be is said
to have committed. On news of the affair coming to
the ears of the central authority, the Government sent
orders to the son to deliver up the prisoner to its officers
for trial. This the son refuses to do, denying the juris-
diction of the Nizam in such matters; and as the Go-
vernment orders have been repeatedly- set at defiance, a
force has been dispatched to coerce the refractory Peer-
zada. The fort of Goolburge, in which he holds out, is
very strong, and the British contingeut at Secundcrabkd
is entrusted with the duty, if necessary, of reducing
it. The Resident is to proceed in person to the place if
the sight if British bayonets is insufficient to bring the
man to reason, but it is belfeved there will be no occasion
for him to do so,

Nepaul is said to be in a slight commotion, owing to
the movement of our troops. and au army of observation
was to have been formed lost wo should make Et
" chuppao" on Khutmandu. The intelligence from this
quarter is, however, at once rare :and;generally exagge-
rated.
