" Before. the British Government proceeded to
• exercise its right, founded on die violation of the,
alliance, and no the necessity of self_ defence;. Was
desirous of , manifesting its attention to the long;
estabtished conneZi•on 'between • the CompiMy and
the House Of Onto r UL OMRAH, by sacrificing
to the sentiments of national magnanimity • and.
generosity, the resentment created by his High.'
ness's flagrant breach of the alliance. In the spirit
of those- Councils,
.therefore, with Which it had
been been the intention' of die British Government tode-
mand satisfadion and security frdm the, Nabob
0/41.1T UL OMRAH, iifid to avoid the publication
of fads so humiliating to the family_ of that Prince,
the British. Government communicated to the re-
puted Son of OMDUT UL OMRAH,. kllOWledge. of
the proofs now existing in the possession•.ot the '
Government of Fort St. George, of the violation of
,the • alliance, at the same time the British-Govern-
ment :manifested '7a consistent adherence to the
principles of moderation and forbearance, by open-
ing. a latitude to ..the reputed. Son of ()moor tn.
OMRAH to. form, by means of an amicable adjust,.
ment, that satisfaction and security which the hos-
tile and faithless conduct of his. supposed Father hall
entitled. the British Government to demand, and
which the dictates of prudence and self-defence com-
pelled it to require.
" The reputed Son of OMDUT UL OMRAH, by
and with advice of the persons appointed by
his Father's Will to assist his Councils, has persisted
in opposing a determined resistance .to this demand,
thereby exhibiting an unequivocal proof, that the.
spirit Avilich actuated the-hosiile'Conncils, of the
Nabobs. MAHOMMED ALLY and OMDUT UL OM.
km-1, has been transrnitted with'unabaied vigour to
the supposed on of OMDUT UL OMRAH, secured in
its operation under the sandimbninus forms of their
testamentary injunctions, and prcserved with reli-
giouS attachment by 'the ostensible descendant of
that Prince.

Frustrated in the hope of obtaining, from the
reputed Son of the Nabob Qmnurr *ft. OMRAH, re-
'paration for its injuries and security.' for its rights,
the British Goverl7ment 'is noW reluCtantly Con_
Belled to publish to the world the proofs of this
`flagrant violation of the most sacred ties of -amity
and alliance,by the Nabobs- MAHOMMED ALLY and
OMDUT UL- OMRAHu and the heredititry spirit of
enmity manifested by the reputed son of OMDUT
UL OMRAH to the interests of the' British Govern-
ment. The duty and necessity .of self-defence re.'
quire the British. Government, under the circum-
stances. of this case, to exercise its povter in the
attainment of .an adequate security for its Rights,
justice and moderation svarrant, that the Family of
OMDUT UL Or shall be,deprived of the means
of completing its systematic course of hostility ;
wisdom and. prudence demand, that the reputed Son
or OMD.UT UL OMRAH shall nor. be permitted to
retain possession of resources dangerous to the trap_
quilli ty of the British Government in the Peninsula.
of India.

“ And for the more full explanation of the grounds
and motives of this declaration, the Right Hon. the.
Governor in Council, by and with the authority of
his Ekcellency the Most Noble the Governor Gene_
