OF FORT ST. GEORGE, DATED 3 tst JULY fBo6
BY AND WITH THE AUTHORITY OF ;Its EXCO.-
LENCY THE MOST NOBLE nit dovtftmott...
GENERAL IN COUNCIL.
" An alliance of the togt intithate •itniari ant
friendship has long subsisted betWeert the Hon; the
English East india',Company, and the Family of
their Higlinesse6 MAHOMNIED ALLY and OMDUT tir.
Omir.:Ft, late Nabob of the Carnatic PAYEN GFiALiT
By the aid of that allifinze his late Highness MA.
HOMMED ALLY was enabled, under Providence; td'
support his pretensions to the possession of the'
Carnatic at the death of his illustrious father; to
defeat the pdwer of his enemies in Arms, and finally
to establish his authority in The Government of
Arcot and its dependencies; oil the foundations of
the British Power:

" For the defence and Proteaion of the Vain.
ble possessions thus acquired by the united arms of
the English Company and of the NAB dB Of-ARCOT,
various treaties and obligations- have been esta:
blished, by which it was intended 1111 t the inte:
rests, security, and polder of both Parties in the
Carnatie PAYEN GuAtr, should be cemented and
identified. In conformity to the faith and spirit
'of these engagements, the Hon. Company has in_
variably applied, not only the resources derived •
from that alliance, but the whole power of the
British Empire in India, to maintain the Govern-
ment of the late Nitt.o.ll3 of the CAR NiITI C against
all their enemies, and has caused them iv tlc nc-
knowledged by Foreign States as the Allies of
the British Nation. By these means, and by the
unabated exertion of its whole power, the English
Nation was enabled, during the war which conti.•
nued from the ye,4l. 'l7BO to the year 5783, to
support the pretensions of the Nabob MAHomz.tED
ALLY, and to rescue his Dominions from the vio-
lence of HYDER ALLY KHAN', and of his Successor
TIPPOO SULTAUS, who, by the assistance of the
French Nation, had been enabled to conquer a
considerable part of the Carnafic, and to establish
their authority over the greatest part of the Terri:
torial Possessions of the said Nabob.

[The Declaration then continues to state, that a
Treaty was entered into in 1787, to proteil the
Territories of the Allies, for an annual subsidy :
that the English Company charged itself with the
administration of the Civil Goverrinient,in addition
to the military defence of the Carnatic-: that at
the conclusion of the war in 1792, the 'British
Government restored the Civil Government to his
Highness, thereby manifesting the stridest ad-
herence to the stipulations of 1787; and that the
Governor-General, upon the representation of
MAHOMMED ALLY, relieved his Highness from
the burthensome terms of that engagement, for the
purpose of promoting the tranquillity, interests,
and comfort of the Nabob MAHOMMED ALLY.]
" With this,liberal vises of the principles of the
connexion established between the British Govern.
merit and the NABOB of ARGOT, an indulgent mo.
dification of the Treaty of 1787 was framed ; and
by a subsequent Treaty, bearing date in the month
of July, 1792, the pecuniary contribution of his
Highness the NApos of the CARNATIC, towards
the general defence and protection of the rights and
possessions of the Allies, was diminished from fifteen
to nine lacks of star pagodas. The spirit of mo-
deration by which the British Councils were
guided in respell to this • alliance, was unequi,
vocally manifested by a farther stipulation, for
the purpose of securing to the Nabob OMDUT UL
OMRAH, the Son and Presumptive Heir of the Na-
bob MAHOMMED ALLY, the succession to the Terri.
tories of his Father, on the terms and conditions of
the Treaty of 1792.
".Under these circumstances the British Govern- •
ment might justly have required from the House of
MAHOMMED ALLY, not merely the exalt and rigid
observation of the Treaty of 1792, but a zealous
and cordial attachment to the spirit of an engage-
ment, under which the Nabobs of the Carnatic have
found the most ample proteCtion, accompanied by
the most indulgent and liberal construflion of every
stipulation favourable to their separate interests,
and by the most lenient relaxation of those penal
articles, the obligation of which their Highnesses
had reSpedively incurred by violating the Article
of the Treaty. of 1792, relative to the grants of
Tuncaws, or assignments of revenue on the Dis_
trids pledged to the Company.
" It is with the deepest concern that the Gover-
nor in Council is compelled to declare, that those
ancient Allies of the Company, the Nabobs MA.
umsitmEo ALLY and OMDUT UL OMRAH, have been
found not only deficient in every aftive duty of
the alliance, but unfaithful to its fundamental .prin-
ciples, and untrue to its vital spirit.
"In the full enjoyment of the most abundant •
proofs of the moderation, indulgence. and gonri
faith of the Hon. company, the Nabob MArrom.
MED ALLY and the Nabob
OMDUT UL OMRAH,
adually commenced and maintained a secret inter-
course with TIPPOO SULTAUN, the determined
enemy of the British name, founded on principles
and direfled to objeds utterly subversive of the
alliance between the Nabob of the Carnatic and
the Company, and equally incompatible with the
security of the British Power in the Peninsula of
India.

" After the fall of Seringapatam, the British
Government obtained possession of the original re..
cords of TIPPOO SULTAUN: the correspondence of
that • Prince's Ambassadors during their residence
at Fort. Sr. George, in attendance on his sons, the
hostage Princes, in the years 1792 and 1793, esta-
blished sufficient ground of apprehension, that their
Highnesses the late Nabob iVIAHOMMED ALLY,
and the late Nabob °moor t L OMRAH, had en-
tered into a secret intercourse with the late TIP_
coo SULTAUN, of a nature hostile to the British
interests in India. The inquiries of the British
Government have been since direded to ascertain
a fad so intimately connected with the sem icy of
its rights in the Carnatic. The resait has established
the following propositions by a series of connected,
written and oral testimony.
" xst. At the very period of time when the
Nabob MAHOMMED ALLY appealed to the gene-
rosity of the British' Government for an indulgent
