INEZ I PAP:ERS.

Tx;: Papers presented to the House, of Constrisms
by the East India Company, respecting the late
NABOB of the CARNATIC, have been printed.
They • are in number eighteen, and consist of
Conies of Instructions to Lieutenants-Colonel MAcs.
NEIL and BOWSER, relative to the stationing
a party of troops at the Palace of Chepauk.—
The Governor in Council desires every degree of
.conciliation and respect to be observed towards
the immediate family of the Nabob, and the Con-
fiJential Officers of His Highness's Government,
and to avoid the appearance of any Concurrence
on the part of the British Government, in the ar-
ranaements which His Highness may be desirous of
making, with respea either to his immediate pro-
perty, or the general affairs of the Carnatic. There
'then follows the Report of Messrs. Wtse as and
`-Ctscsr, explanatory of their proceedings at the
Place of the late Nabob, in their interviews with
Toe,Re-gents and TAJE UL OMRAH. It states that
'the Nabob, by his will, expressed in clear and dis-
'tine terms, that his son, ALLY HUSSEIN, should
steitcceedhiM in all his rights, possessions, property,
;and the sovereignty of the Carnatic---The Re.
rs,''.;•t.'stares the subject of the conferences, in which
the 6,,.nstish Agents urgd that proofs were in
possession 4 the British Government, of the late
Nabob's vio.islt.!bn of the alliances with the Com-
pany, and that It had deterinined to demand sae
tislaaion for such Violation, and security fOr its
rights and interests agilliSt the future operation of
His Highness's hostile CassUticils., but that the indis-
position, which had terminated in the death of the
Nabob OMDUT UL OMRAH, had prevented the
execution of the Governor-Gweral's orders to
that effeCt. Then follows a Copy
of Lotal CON
WALLIS's Treaty between the Comp:one and his
Highness the Nabob MAHOMED ALiy dated
1792, and the Treaty with AZEEM UL DOZY/ ft,
in 1801. To these arc added; the declaration of
the Governor of Fort St. George, dated 3/st July',s
1801 s stating that the Nabob OMDUT UL OM.
RAH maintained a secret intercourse with TIP-
; - Poo SULTAUN, the determined enemy of the Bri-
t, name, founded on principles, and directed to
()J.l'stts, utterly subversive of the alliance between
the NABOB of the CARNATIC and the Company.
The Declaration proceeds to develope all the cir-
cumstances and proofs of such intercourse, and
shews that the intentions of the Nabob MAHOM-
-4'IED ALLY and OMDUT UL OMRAH, were uni-
formly hostile to the British Power in India, and
that consequently they had placed themselves in
the relation of Public Enemies to the British Go-
Vermnent, that the British Government, adhering-
to principles of moderation and forbearance, had
nevertheless endeavoured, by an amicable ad..
3ustment with ALLY HussErN, the reputed son
of the Nabob, to obtain that satisfaCtion and se-
eurity which- the hostile and faithless conduct of
tis father had entitled the British Government
10 demand ; but that by the advice of the persons
appointed by his father's will, to assist his Councils,
Le had persisted in opposing a determined resist.
ance to this demand, and therefore that necessity
and self.defence required that the son of OMDUT uL
PMRAII Should not be permitted to retain possession
of resources dangerous to the tranquillity of the
British Government. The .Appendix to this De-
claration contains copies of the. Correspondence
with Tustsoo SULTAUN, and the key to a cypher
found among the records at Seringapatam.
The
Correseondence contains a series of the most come
Vete proofs of the secret and hostile negotiations
of °moor UL OMRAH With TIPPOO.
The next important Paper is a copy of the Cor-
respondence between the Governor General and the
Governor of Fort Sr. George, on the subject of the
Carnatic, from the death of OMDUT UL OMRAH
;(:) the elevation, of AZ.EEM UL 'DOWLAH tO the
lUSUU(I. In this is stated the faiture of every
endeavour at conciliatory negotiation with the re-
ruted Son of OMDUT UL OMRAH. To this succeeds-
eet"e Letters from the Governor General and the,
Secret
in Council of Fort St. George to the
ecretconimit tee of tl%e Court of Direaors, relative
:O. the revolution in the Carnatic, and the assomp_
lon of its government by the Company ; the orders
published to the settlement of Fort St. George,
dated 3 ist July, rBo t, relative to the Treaty be-
tween the Company and ASE es,t of. 1)0w LAH, with.
Tseveral other documents conneared with the subjea.
here are also copies of Examinations taken be-
forec, Messrs, WEBBE and CLOSE, at Vellore and
°etingapatam, in May, I Soo, by order of the Mar-
c:l_ollls WELLESLEY. The result is conclusive
as

TO LIEUTENANT—COLONEL MACNEIL.
Stcc
SIT,
I. "Ile precarious state of his Highness the
bii!oh ealth being such -as to indicate th rb,'
e o
lty of hbi 1-lizhness's eittly diitio;ution, the

Right Hon: the eoveindi in Council has jmiged it
expedient for the preservation of order, to station
a party of troops at the Palace of Chepauk ; and
his Lordship, relying on your prudence and dis_
cretion, has been pleased td appoint you to the
command of the troops. •
" z. The detail will consist
,of three toinpanies
of his Majesty's Scotch Brigade, five companies
of the zst battalion 4th regiment of Native In-
fantry, a Subaltern, and
_thirty Europeans; and
one company of Native Artillery with four six.
pounders, and thirty troopers from ihe Governor's
body guard. A farther portion of the garrison of
Fort St. George will be held in readiness_ to join
you, if occasion should render that measure neceL.
sary.

" 3. The principal objea of your care being the
preservation of order within the Palace of Chepauk,
at the period of the Nabob's dissolution, the Go.
vernor in Council direas you, after securing
,the
first gate of the garden, to march the detachment to
the principal gateway of the Palace,. and take pos-
sesion of it.

" .j.. A communication of this intended measure
will be made to the Nabob sufficiently early, it is
hoped, to prevent any alarm in his Highness's mind ;
and the expedition and secrecy with which it will
be executed, will probably prevent any opposition
gr confusion.
" 5. Having taken possession of the principal
gateway, it will be necessary to make a disposition
of your force for maintaining that position.
" 6. In carrying this part of your orders into
effel, the Governor in Council desires you to use
every degree of conciliation and respell towards
the immediate family of the Nabob, and towards
the confidential Officers of his Highness's Govern-
ment. By an adherence to that mode of conduct,
the Governor in Council expels that no difficulty
will occur; but if, notwithstanding this mode-
ration, you should be opposed in the execution of
these orders, with respell to possessing the gateway,
you will, after making the best explanation of your
Orders which circumstances will admit, to the Na_
hob's Officers within the gateway, remain thirty
minutis• and after the expiration of that time,
you . have received n'o communication from Ma_
jor Grant, the Military Secretary of the Governor,
you will ol}tditt possession of the gateway by
force. . '
" 7. After hz.ving- established yOursOf at the
gateway of the Palace, your will consider the best
means of restraining the irttercoutie of persons ',via
the interior of the Palace ; but as it is impossibk
to describe, with sufficient accuracy, the different
passages through the external wall Of the Palace,
I am direded to inform you, that when the event
of the Nabob's death shall occur, it will be your
duty, to the .extent of your power, to prevent the
introdudion of any. partizans into the Palace, to
restrain any apparent Commotion, to proted
from violence the persons or the Nabob's imme-
diate family, and to provide the best pradicable
means for preventing his Highness's property and
treasure from being removed from the Palace. In
executing this part of the order, you will Observe
that the Governor in Council does not consider the
Brothers of his Highness to constitute any part of
his immediate family; and you will endeavour to
restrain them, by force, if necessary and practicable,
from entering the Palace until some arrangement o
affairs shall be made.

" 6. As soon as may be praL'licable, after taking
possession of the gateway, you will endeavour to
ascertain what number of armed or unarmed men
may be within the walls of the Palace, and you will
cause that number to be so far diminished, as you
shall judge necessary to the tranquil execution of
these orders ; you will particularly endeavour to
expel from within the walls of the Palace, all such
armed men as may not be in the immediate service
of his Highness the 'Nabob : upon this point, you
will make an early report, and it is the intention of
the Governor in Council to furnish you, at the
earliest possible period of time. after the death of
the Nabob, with more detailed instrulions for the
guidance of your conduct.
" 9. It will be obvious to you, that the Governor
in Council consider the trust now reposed in'you,
to involve considerations of, the greatest delicacy
and importance ; and his Lordship directs me to ex-
press his confident expedation, that your condutl in
the discharge of it will be such as the nature of the
conjundure, and the situation of his Highness's fa,ni.
ly, demand from the liberality and dignity of the
British Government.

" to. During this service, you will address im-
mediately to the Governor such communications as
may become necessary, and obey such orders as you
may receive.diredly from his Lc,:dship.
" I am, Sir, &c. &c. &c.

MENT.

(EXTRACT.)

" I request you will be pleased to inform the
Right Hon. the Governor, that, agreeably to his
Lordship's Instrdlions, I marched the troops placed
under my command for the preservation of order
at Chepauk, through bath the gateways leading
to the Palace ; of these gates I took possession,
and I have placed guards at three other gates lead.
ingthrough the exterior wall.

" The—communication which the Right Hon.
Governor was pleased to make of his Lordship's
intentions, seemed to have considerably reconciled
the Nabob to the measure itself; but he was very
much averse to guards being placed within the in-
terior .gate. t,

" As there seemed to be no immediate necessity
for stationing guards within, and as the Nabob was
so much averse to any being placed there, I judged
it fit to accommodate his Highness's inclinations as
far as possible : I• have therefore placed sentries
only at the gate, and the body of the troops close to
it on the ontsidg.

" There is no kind. of comniotion whatever
within the Palace Walls, and there is every ap.
pearance of tranquillity being preserved.
" I have the Honour to be, &c.
