which the Government wisLed to flatter to obtain
loans from them.
"b. To the tendency to, seize hold of the fortunes
of Rajahs and millionaire nabobs.
"6. To a alse application of what the Govern-
ment pleased itself to style philanthropy.
"7. To the licentiousness of the native press.

"Let us now examine each of th s'i causes :—.

"1. The Government of the East India Corn-

pany has annexed, without any reason, and most
.unjustly, the kingdont. of Oude to its te'ritory.
This false and clum,y po!icy areusel the indigna-
tion of the whole of that rich and populous country,
and the Sepoys, who below,'' chiefly to Oude and
the neighbouring countries, took up arms for the
cause of their King.
" A great number of other deposed princes and
princesses are actually receiving pensions from the
Company, but, as it always endeavours to find
means to reduce its expenditure by pretending that
Vie women and heirs are not legitimate, it. has
created a general common feeling of discontent
among them which has made them the sworn ene-
mies of the Government, and actual events have
proved that those kings and princes are at the head
of a portion of the conspiracy which has broken
cut. The Government has taken advantage of this
to ehut up the King of Oude and his Prime Mini-
ster as prisoners in the fort at Calcutta; it will act
likewise towards many other princes now receiving
pension, and will thus save many lees of rupees.
"2. A law has bean prepared, and is, it ie said,
on the eve of being paste I, to prevent Raj•ths and
other Incran millionaires leaving their property to
indirect heirs ; thus, the possessor of only 1,000
rupees may leave them to his nephews and nieces,
but any one possessing 10 lies .or more can only
leave them to the Hon. East India Company.
" This law, if we are to believe the natives, was
framed with a view to the eventual death of certain
Rajahs who have no legitimate children, especially
to that of the Rajah of Bordwan, who possesses
millions. This measure, it appears, in no manner
pleased him, for he is one of the individuals com-
promised in the present movement. As regards the
women, rightly or wrongly, public rumour prevails
that the Government put them to death to avoid
paying their pensions. A. journal, speaking of the
rents of Mazpoere, said last year that they had
been sent.to a pestilential .residencd that the pay-
ment might stop.
"3. The Government broke its word towards the
army. It had, in fact, promised the men that they
should not cross the &a; now, in the Burmese war,
it ordered four regiments to embArk. The first order
was disobeyed. The troops had right on their side,
yet they were dezimated and fire,' upon by English.
caution. At the time of the Sikh war the army re-
fused, at a critical and decisive moment, to cross
the Sutlej without a batta. The generals were ob-
liged to give in, and a batta was granted. When
Oude was annexed the Government, then is
strength, &eared that the batta should cease to be
paid. These facts, added to the discontent caused
by the greased cartridges, brought about, with the
gold of the rajahs and of the kings, the present re-
volution in India.

" 4. The Company's Government, despite its in-
credible resources, has always gonebeyond its mean.,
and has consequently been compelled to contract
loans. It debts actually amount to 5,000,0001. ster-
ling. It was necessary to cajole or flatter a certain
rich class in India, and to succeed, under the mask
of philanthropy, native magistrates, judges, and
official secretaries were appointed. These situations
only doubled the hatred of the-Mussulman against
the dog of a Christian;' and, though making money,
the Government by n 9 means advanced the welfare
of the country. _ _ _

" The Bengalee is a liar and a thief by his reli-
gion. Now, if you beat him or accuse him on losing
531:123 article or other, he leaves you, and brings an
action for h;s wages. The judge, who is also a Ben-
galee,
gives it against you, having probably received
douceur, and the Government approves it because
the court expenses are paid.
"The result of all this is a general state of dis-
content among every class, whether white or black,
Mahomedan, Hindoo, or Christian ; hence the cause
of revolution.

" The license abused by th 3 press in a country
dissatisfied with English rule must have hastened
the present outbreak.
"The false philanthropists of India, under the
masks of missionaries—Jesuits disguised—have at-
tacked a'l white officials and thclared themselves
the friends of their black brothers. To them must
be attributed the stories of torture on the high-
minded Bengalee. These discussions have tended
much to lower the Governors of India in the opi-
nion of the natives, who have gradually acquired
a complete contempt for Europeans. The Gover-
nor-General even is not excapted. A Government
thus molested loses all dignity and respect, and,
what is more, credit ; the _ last loan finds no re-
sponse. The signature of the Governor-General is
not worth that of the smallest banker in the bazaar.

" On their part, the Bengalese have abused the
liberty of the press to make proclamations against
the Government, to stir up regiments in the name
of old dynasties, and to preach open revolution,
while the missionaries, up to their work, converted
colonels and generals to their ways, who attempted
to read sermons to and make Christians of some of
their men. The greased cartridges came as a
finisher—so much so that on the one hand the de-
throned kings and the depose l rajahs, and on the
other hand the soldiers who supported the Govern-
ment, and finally the people, imbued with a natu-
ral hatred of a Christian, entertained one idea, ono
wish, one will—revolution and the blood of the
white man.

" The Government has at last appreciated the
immensity of the evil. Orders have been sent to
stop the troops for China. Bombay, Madras, and
Colombo send what troops they can dispense with.
" On the other hand, the internal Government is
taking the followinr, severe and energetic measures :
"1. Abolition of the freedom of the press
throughout India.

"2: Imprisonment of all suspected kings and
rajahs.

"3. Embodiment of the militia at every station.
" 4. Fifty rupees for every deserter caught.
"5. Abolition (projected) of every native school
of the Government.
" 6. Proclamation of martial law with all its
rigours.

Will these measures save India ? Never. They
will increase the hatred of the black against the
white. That will be the only result.
" The only measures to be adopted are the fol-
lowing :

" 1: The sending out of a permanent force of
50,000 Europeans, of which 10,000 men ought to be
cavalry, on the system of the French Gendarmerie.

.
" 2: Tile immediate development of railways and
high-roads.

3. The abolition of the tax imposed on natives
holding official appointments.

" 4. A municipal police on an honourable footing.
" Unless such measures are adopted, believe me,
my dear lir, the East India Company is doomed."
