to the 12th of April.
~..t 'Wears that preparations are in progress for the renewal
hostilities in Ferozepore district after the rainy season.
Military stores in great abundance were being conveyed to
Julona.
From Lahore the news is, that there in now a lull in the
Political tempest; the Queen-Mother seems to have aban-
doned Ghoolab Singh, and to appointed Jowahir Singh,
her own brother, as the Wuzeer. The troops are quietly
looking on, but they seerai to be brooding mischief.
The Khalsa troops had acquiesced in the Ranee's appoint
Meat of her brother Jowahir Singh as Prime Minister, or
Wuzeer, he having previously been only acting as such ad
interim.
He was formally invested with all the honours on
it'll, 14th ult. It was thought, however, that he would not
4111 g continue in his high office, as he was in very ill odour
With the troops, who, it was suspected, were plotting his
downfal. His rival, Gle Singh, is th,_own into the shad
,at Present, and was supp,sei_l to a retirement
oil home in the hills. Nothing was said of hostile more-
taehts against the British, and it was probable that so long
Jowahir Singh remained at the head of affairs, and his
lister possessed the rather remarkable power she had for
some time exercised over the army, no more would be heard
of the threatened invasion.
Peshora Singh had taken possession of sere-Jai villages,
lie expressed his determination to retain. It was
6tnAt"l that they yield a revenue of 60,000 rupees.
,l''.oording to the accounts we have received from AtTglia-

latest reports, however, it would appear, that even if
ii4lslahorned had given up his hostile designs, his son au,.n2eer, Akbar Khan, was still bent on the attack. Sir C.
s.aPier's recent advance against the
robber tribes in Upoer
Inle seemed to have greatly alarmed the chiefs of Candaliar,
tWl° imagined he was about to pny them a visit. One of

Intercession with the British Government.
:There had been a counter-revolution in Nepaul. The fa-
t'4llll thief Matabur Singh, whose influence enabled the old
ug's son to force his father to abdicate in his favour, had
been assassinated. He was admitted to a private audience
With the old King, and shot dead in the royal presence.
Deprived of this powerful friend and supporter, the young
