gress of the late just,- necessary, and glorious War,

DUT UL OMRAH, to . the utmost extent of his
means and power, pursued'the objec"ls of his. secret
`intercourse with TIPPOO SULTAUN, by a sys-
tematic course of deception, with respeCt to the
provision of the funds. necessary to enable the Bri-
tish Troops, to march into Mysore, as -well as by a
systematic and aftive opposition to the supply and
movement of the Allied Army through different
parts 'of the said Nabob's dominions.

Article of the Treaty of 1787, and the loth Arti-
cle of' the Treaty of 1792, by which the NABOBS

political Negotiations or Correspondence with any
• European or Native Power or State, without the
consent of the Government of Fort St. George, or

part of the Nabbb, of all the benefits-of the said'
Alliance.

" i ith. The Nabob MOHAMMED-ALLY and the

stipulations, and have thereby forfeited all the be_
refits of the said Alliance ; and the NabA Mo.
HAMMED ALLY and the Nabob OMDUT UL OMRAH,
having violated the said stipulations for the express
purpose o establishing an union of interests with
TIPPOO SULTAUN, thereby placed themselves in
the condition of public enemies to the British Go.
vernment in India.

" It is manifest, theiefore, that the intentions-of
the Nabobs MOHAMMED ALLY and OMDUT UL
OMRAH, have been uniformly and with Out interrup-
tion hostile to the British Power in-India, and that
those intentions have been carried into effea to the
full, extent of- the actual power possessed by their
Higlinessess.respettively, at the several periods of
time in which they have aaed in pursuance of their
system of co-operation with -t he 'Enemy.

RAH, not only violated the rights of the Company,
but by uniting their interests with those of the most
implacable Enemy Of the British Empire, the Nabobs
MOHAMMED ALLY and-Om our UL OMRAH,aetiliii-
ly placed themselves in the relation of Public Ene-
