The messengers started with e
desputo hes and
orders for Brigadier Horsford at 12 o'clock fester_
day, and will reach him-by-riding night anct day
in the course of this morning...
It would seem that the rebels, accordi r,g to the
official reports of the Nepaulese authorities to their
Government, were in force ate several points not far
from the magazine at Pewthana. The se; VYS and
soldiers paid for such grain and animals, fo Nits and
sheep, as they required, but their camp fa Rowers,
like our own, were disorderly, plundering seotin-
ai cis, when_ severities could check, and se theso
latter by their violence and robberies had driven
the Nepaulese villagers from their homes . The
general in command had applied for aid, as he had
only 400 or 500 sepoys of the revenue department
available for the protection of the people. It ap-
pears that the Begum is somewhere in the neigh.
bourhood of the rebel camp, for she has made efforts
to open a correspondence with the Maharajah, but
the Nepaulese have refused to forward her letters.
The fortress of Doonia Gurree commands the inner
passes, and the soldiers stationed there have been
ordered to let neither Begum nor followers enter.
The Nepaulese Government have acted with per-
fect good faith so far, and appear determined to
adhere to the threats and promises of their prods-
mation. The sepoys are described as being despe-
rate, " If we must die let us die by the hands of the
Ghoorkas rather than those of the Feringhees."
I understand that the Maharajah of Nepillal
(Dhiraj) has expressed to,Lord Canning the high
sense he entertains of the generosity of the British
Government in permitting the rebels to .find 'an
asylum in his kingdom, and of the honour done to
Nepaul in treating it as a powerful neutral State.
He goes on, however, to express his apprehension
that if the British troops do not enter Nepaul and.
co-operate with the Ghoorkas in expelling the 4
enemy, the latter, thinking Nepaul a safe place o'
shelter, will assemble in such thousands as to re ,_
quire a large army fa their destruction. His M.
Jesty's reasoning t- very clear, for 't' ne
Ghoorkas act against the rebels there can be no
misunderstanding on the part of the latter as tot he
nature of the asylum. The Rajah of Nepaul, ho y_
ever, obviates all doubt by a formal demand f hat
the British troops under Lord Clyde should c( xme
and kill the rebels, but that they shall not kill c%) ws
or bulls, or hang any rebels inside his territory. J
frankly acknowledges that his force is not sty ffi-
ciently strong to prevent the rebels making atta,
on the British territory, and so that he cannot p ro-
perly respond to the confidence expressed by the
Governor-General in his previous letter respec ling
the security of the frontier. The Maharaja} i ex-
presses great indignation against those unfai Chful
Sepoys who not only were " untrue to their salt,
but showed no mercy to British ladies-and child .1. en."
But he warns the Government that all opera ions
must be concluded by the 16th of March, or the
malaria of the Terai will terminate them by killing
our,troops. In conclusion, the King, in considera-
tion of "my faith and religion," asks the ritish
Government to issue orders to the troops hot to
ssize upon women and children and take the m away
forcibly, but let them remain in Nepaul, or g p where
thew please.
Although the Maharajah expresses great detes-
tation of Dhondia Punt (Nana Sahib) he ( foes not
seem to have taken any step for his seizur B, though
he says he has warned him that he can ueceive no
asylum in Nepaul. .
