TEE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA
AND THE DIRECTORS OF THE BASF
INDIA COMPANY.

_ -
The following copy of a letter from the Court of
Directors of the East India Company to the
Governor-General of India in Council vras presented
to Parliament and ordered to be printed on Friday
last :

"May 6.
"1. You will have received by the mail of the
25th of March a letter from the Secret Committee,
which has since been laid before us, respecting the
policy which it becomes you to pursue towards
those natives of India who have recently been in
arms against the authority of the British Govern-
ment.

" 2. That letter emphatically confirms the prin-
ciples which you have already adopted, as set forth
in your circular of the 31st of July, 1857, by im-
pressing upon you the propriety of pursuing, after
the conquest of the revolted provinces, a course of
policy distinguished by a wise and discriminating
generosity. You ara exhorted to temper justice
with mercy, and, except in cases of extreme crimi-
nality, to grant an amnesty to the vanquished. In
the sentiments expressed by the Secret Committee
we entirely concur. While there are some crimes
which humanity calls upon you to punish with the
utmost severity there are others of a less aggra-
vated character which it would be equally unjust
and impolitic not to pardon and to forget.
. "3. The offences with which you will be called
upon to creal are of three different kinds. Firstly,
high crimes, instigated .913‘, malice prepense, and
aggravated by treachery and cruelty. Secondly,
offences the results rather of weakness than of
malice, into which it is believed that many have
been drawn by the contamination of example, by
the fear of opposing themselves to their more power-
ful countrymen, or by the belief that they hive
been compromised by the acts of their associates,
rather than by any active desire to embarrass the
existing Government. And, thirdly, offences of a
less positive character, amounting to little mcre
than passive connivance at evil, or at most to the
act of giving such assistance to the rebels as, if not
given, would have been forcibly extorted, and
which i❑ many cases it would have been death to
refuse to bodies of licentious and exasperated
mutine•-rs.

"4. It is the first only of these offences the per-
petrators of which and their accomplices it will be
your duty to visit with the severest penalty which
you can inflict; and it is happily in such cases of
exceptional atrocity that you will have the least
difficulty in proving both the curnrnision of the
offence and the identity of the offender. In tho
other cases you might often be left in doubt, not
only of the extent of the offence committed, but of
its actual commission by the accused persons ; and,
although we are aware that the retribu'ion which
may be righteously inflicted upon the guilty may
be in some measure restricted by too much nicety of
specification, and that in dealing with so large amass
of crime it is difficult to avoid the commis-ion of
some actsr of individual injustice, we may still ex-
press desire that the utmost exertion may be
made to confine within the smallest possible com-
pass these cases of uncertaiu prof and dubious
identity, even though your retributory measures
should thus fall short of what in strict justice might
be inflicted.

" 5. As FOOll as you bare suppreFsed the active
hostility of the enemy you first care will be restora-
tion of public confidence. It will he your privi-
lege, when the disorganised provinces shall no
longer be convulsed by intestine disorder, to set an
example of toleration and forbearance towards the
subject people, and to endeavour by every means
y ie
setettlritYof the British empire
in consistent
irritation and suspicion
Easlvittoh tahlela
which, if suffered to retain possession of the minds
of the native and European inhabitants of the coun-
try, will eventually lead to nothing less calamitous
than a war of races.

"6. In dealing with the people of Oude you
will doubtless be moved by special considerations
of justice and policy. Throughout the recent con-
test we have ever regarded such of the inhabitants
of that country as, not, being sepoys or pensioners
of our own army, have been in arms against us as
an exceptionable class. They cannot be considered
as traitors, or even rebels, for they hail notpledged
their fidelity, and they had scarcely become our
subjects. Many, by the introduction of a new sys-
tem of government, had necessarily been deprived
of the maintenance they had enjoyed, and others
feared that the speedy loss of their means of sub-
sistence must follow from the same course. It was
natural that such persons should avail themselves
of the opportunity presented by the distractedstate of
the country to strike a blow for the restoration of the
native rule, under which the permitted disorgani-
zation of the country had so long been to them a
source of unlawful profits Neither the disbanded
soldiers of the late native government, nor the
great talookdars and their retainers, were under
any obligation of fidelity to cur government for
benefits conferred upon them. You would be justi-
fied, therefore, in dealing with them as you would
with a foreign enemy,
and in ceasing to consider
them objects of punishment after they have once
laid down their arms,
7. Oi these aims they must fer b 3 deprived.
You will doubtless in prosecution of this object ad-
dles; yours: lf, in the first instance, to the case of
the great talookdars, who so succe,,sfully defied the
late government, and many of whom, with large
bodies of armed men, appear to have aided the
efforts of the mutinous soldiery of the Bengal
army. The destruction of the fortified strongholds
of these powerful landaoldors, the forfeiture of
their remaining guns, the disarming and disbanding
of their followers, will be among your first works ;
but while you are depr;vieg this influential and
once dangerous class of people of their power of
openly resisting your authority, you will, we have
no doubt, exert yourselves by every possible means
to reconcile them to British rule, end encourage
them, by liberal arranger's •nts nn, de in accordance
with anciect usages, to become industrious agricul-
turists, and to employ in the cultivation of the soil
the men who, as armed retainers, have so long
wasted ihe substance of their masters and desolated
theland. We believe these landholders may be taught
that their holdings will be more profitable to them
under a strong Government., capable of maintain-
ing the peace of the country and severely punishing
agrarian outrages, than under one which perpetu-
ally invites, by its weakness, the ruinous arbitra-
tion of the sword.
gg 8. Having thus endeavoured, on the re-estab-
lishment of the authority of the British Govern-
ment in Onie, to reassure the great landholders,
you will proceed to consider, in the same spirit of
toleration and forbearance, the condition of the
great people. Yon will bear in mind
that
it bodyis ce of
ss thery, in a transition state from one
Government to another, to deal tenderly with
existing usages, and sometimes even with existing
abuses.
All precipitate reforms are dangerous. It
