called Jefwnnt Rao Holkar, and the Caufes thereof ; as far as is
confiiteot with t%e Public Service, and the good faith due to
Perron., from whom Secret Intelligence may havebeen received,
laid ye fterday before the Houfe of eANDIMOISS.

To his Escdkuty General Lake. Commander in Chief.
OfEicial. N 0.22. (Secret.)
Para. I. I have the honour to acknowledge the re.
ceipt of your Excellency's difpatches, under date the
:9th, aBth and nth of December, tBo3.and I entirely
approve your Excellency's condudt towards Jekyll:lt
Rao Holkar, and the Letters which you have addref:

to that Cilieftain.
2. The Letters, • of which Jefwunt Rao Xiolkar
tranfmitted cepies to your Excellency, mull have
been forwarded to Holkar by Major General Weile-
r, in his own name. I have not addrelfed'any
rto jefuunt Rao Holkar, but Major-General Wel-
ley was authorifed by my inftruitions of the 28th
June, to open an amicable negoetition with that
3. It is now expedient to decide the courfe to be
;trued with refpeet to Jefwunt Rao Holkar. •
4. The great dinance of the Hon. Major-General
!Ilefley's polition from the Camp of Jefwunt Rat+
lkar, mull render the intercourfe difficult from that
and as your Excellency's fituation is more
!ly to be convenient for that purpofe, it is my in-
ion that your Excellency Ibould immediately
a negoci.ition with Jefwunt Rao Holkar.

A copy of this clifpatch will be immediately tranf-
mitted to the Hon. Major-General Wellefley, with a
view to enable that Officer to promote tbr objeds of
thefe inftrudions if circumdatices Ihould bring the
army of Major-General Wellesley within a convenient
&fiance of Jefwunt Rao Holkar's camp. •
6. The authority exercised by Jefwunt Ran Hol-
km-, in the name of Kundee Rao, over the poffeflions
of the Holkar family, is manifeftly an ufurpation of
the rights of Calhee Rao Holkar, the legitimate heir
and fuccell'or of Serkojee Holkar. Continently, there-
fore, with the principles of junice, no arrangement
can be propofed between the Britifh Government and
Jefwunt Rau Holkar, involving a fandion of Cathee
Rao Holkar from his hereditary dominions.
7. Under the faudion of his Highnefs the Pefhwa's
authority, the Britifh Government would be joilified
in adopting "'learnt es for ttse limitation of Jefwunt
Rao Holkai 's power, and tot the rf flotation of Cafhee
Rao Holkar's rights, either by force or comproinife ;
and the fpirit of our engagement with his Highnefs
the Pelhwa might be confidered to impofe on the Bri.
tali Government an obligation to comply with a re-
quilition on the part of his Highnefs for that purpok.
Under the public protedion of the BritiOt Govern-
ment, the Pefhwa may not now be anxious for thc
reduslion of Holly's power, or for the refloratiOn of
Cafhee Rao Holkar to his hereditary rights ; but it
may be expeded that his Highnefs would readily con-
cur in a propolition for the reftoration of Came ltao
and for the ponifhtrient of Jefwunt Rao Holkar.
8. Although the firitifh Government is piecludede
by confederations of julliee, from the adoption of any
arrangement with Jefwunt jtao Holkar, involving a
formal confirmation of his ufurped authority, or that
of Kundee Rao, over the pofTeffion of the Holkar
family, we are not required with the expret's folicita-
don of the Pelliwa to empty our influence or arms
for the relloration of Cathee Rao Holkar to his he-
reditary dominions.
9. The Britilh Government, therefore, may be
confidered to be at liberty to adopt tither of the al-
ternatives fated in the following propositions.
To restore to Caw Rao Holkar the poffeffinn of his he-
reditary r*ta, fecuring at dr- fame time a provifinn for JefWant
Ran Holkar, and for Kundee Ran; Chia propohilon would need-
farily involve the redudion of Jefwunt IS/0 Holhar's power either
by force or by compromise.•

ad: To etinfltier. Jcfwunt Rao Holkar as a power abfolutely
neutral, and to Unlit our proceedings with nivel to film. to the
protedtion of our territories, and of our allies, agaiult his en-
croacluncnts and exadlons.

so. The enterprifing fpirit, military charaCter, and
ambitious views of Jefwunt RlO. Holkar, render the
reduaion of his power a defirable objea with refer-
ence to the complete eflahlilhment of tranquillity in
India. The reftpration of Caflee Rao Holkar to
his hereditary rights, by the aid and under the pro
ration of the Britifh Powee, would be highly credit.
able to the jaide and honour of the Britifh. Govern-
ment, and advantageous to its intereffs ; it might be
expeaed that Cafhee Rao would readily acquiefce in
any arrangement which might be deemed advifahje,
for the fecurity of our interefts, as the Condition of
his refloration. Indebted to our power for the re-
covery of his rights, and depending on our fupport
for their prefervation, hi; interefis would be perma-
nently confolidated with that of the Brikifh Govern-
ment, his refforation would obtain the concurrence
and applaufe of every State in India, and would
afford to the Pefhwa an additional proof of our fin-
cere difpnfition to refpea thestights of. the Kathatta
feudatoties, and to fulfil the obligations of our pub.
lic faith.

il. I fhould not hefitate, therefore, in determin-
ing to effect the reftoration of Cafee Rao HolkAr•to
his hereditary dominions, if the meafures ne-eifary
for the accompliffiment of that oblea had not 'in-
volved difficulties and embaraffments which could
not be compenfated by the probable benefits of the
proofed arrangements.
12. Adverting to the perfonal charafter, and to
the aftuAl power and refources of Jefwunt lt,ao Hol-
kar. It cannot be czpeCted that be would acquiefce in
fuck an arrangement, without a conteft.
' 13. Admitting, however, that the terror of our
antis might induce Jefwunt Rao Holkar to acquiefce
in the reftoration of Cafhee Rao Holkar to his here-
ditary rights, the adjuftment of the detilis of fuel) an
arrangement would probably occafion a' prOtrafted
and embarraffing inveftigation of the rights and pre-
tenfions of the feveral branches of the Holkar Fa-
mily, and we could nor prudently withdraw our ar-
mies ontil.that arrangement lhould have been accom-
plifhed, fince Holkar might not ultimately content to
the terms prefcribed to hini,and it would then be ne.
celfary to enforce our determination by arms ;—if
peace &fluid not have hzen previoufly concluded with
the Dowlut Rao Scindia, he might acquire, in the
power and revenues of jefwun Rao Holkaroailiiion-
al means of protracting the war.
. • ta.., On the other hand, it is proper to confider the
degree of danger to be apprehended from leaving
Jefwunt Itao Holkar in the poffeffion of, his prcseut
military pciwer and territorial refources.
re. The vicinity of Ore territory actually under I
Holkar's authority, to the province of Guzerat, would
afford him an opportunity of fomenting and fupport-
ing the turbulence and difaffeltion of the enemies of
our intetefts in that quarter of India. The contigui-
ty of his paffeffions to thofe which Scindia will pro-
bably retain at the conclulion of peace, and to the
territory guaranteed to Rajah Ambajee, might faci-
litatenn union of interefts between Holkar and thole
Chieftains; an additional danger may alfo be appre-
hended in the ezittence of a military independent
power, in the bands of an enterprifing and ambitious
Chieftain, who molt be fuppofed to be interefted in
e reduction of our influence and afeendancy in In-
lrl
, and who may therefore be expeeted to avail
mfelf-of any favourable opportunity to combine the
employment of his power and refoorces with any
eventual.attempts on the part of France to difturb the
tranquillity of the Britilh Empire. " ' ' '
16.. 'Fri (bele speculative dangets are to be not-
ed the acceffion of political, territorial, and military
firengtb, which we mnft acquire at the concluth3n of
the prcfent war, and the effeet of that augmented
llrength, and of our recent alliancel, in precluding
the fuecefsful application of Jefwunt Rao Holkar's
power and refources to purpofes injurious' to the in-
terelis and security of the Britith Empire. • - '
17. If a fubfidiary Britith Force he ethtblifhed in
the dominions retained 'by Dowlut Ran Scindli, any
d'angernus • connection ' between that Chieftain and
Jefwunt Rao Holkar will be effectually prevented;
and the eziflence of a Bridal force in the vicinity of
jefwunt Rao Holkar's poffeffions will effentially tend
4-

to check any Wile projeets on thf: part of that chief-
tain. The vigilance of our rendent at cnwt
may alto be expefled to impute a icilraint on the dc-
figns of Holkar.
18. No Gate of circumflances can be realimably
fuppofed which could induce Ambajee to conned
himfelf with Jefwunt Ran Holk:tr for purpofes hoftile
to the Britifh Government.

19. Any intrigues between Holkar, and this dirAf-
feeled Chieftain, in Guzerat, would probably be ef-
fettually checked by the vicinity of our troops, or by
the vigilance of the public officers of Government ;
but hollile combinations, of fo limited a nature, can-
not be confidered chingerous to the ftability of the
Britifh power. Our recent compiefl and alliances
afford us the means of advancing our troops to the
frontieri of Holkar's poffeffions, without difficulty or
interruption, from the South-weft and from the North-
ea, and will enable us to employ the military power
of theßajpoots, and of Ambolcq, in offenfive opera-
tions againft the dominions of that chieftain. The
territor' of the Holkar family will be furrounded by
Rates either in alliance with ns, and interefted 4*
maintaining that alliance, or not fufficiendy powerful
to contribute any important aid to his deigns. His
proceedings will be Calle& to the vigilant übfervation
of Riitifh authorities, and his country acceffible on
all Giles to Britifh armies and Britifh allies.

20. It may be further obferved, that in proportion
tq the &idea Holkar's tide; it would be his intereft
to abliain from any meafures calculated to excite Ole
refer:oolcm of the &hint Governmelit.
at. Thefe circundtances would ren4 in an equal
degree to preclude any combination between Jefwunt
Rao liolkar and the mg/fades or the forces of France.
With a circumfcribed territory, and with a confined
field of adion, jefwunt Ran Holkar's military poWer
Would probably decay. He has been enaldecl to
maintain his prefent extenfive armies, almOR "exelii-
lively, by exile:lkons from foreign Rates, and by the
acquifition and the hope of plunder. An army,
maintained exclufively by the refotirces of -the terri-
tory which Jefwunt Rao Holkar occ,ipies, would nei-
ther be numerous nor effietive.
za. An iminediF.te attempt therefcrc to reflore Ca-
flpee Rao Holkar to his helediiary rights, would in.
volve more pofitive and certain difficulty and danger
than could bejullly apprehended from the cuntinti-
,ance of Jefwunt Rao Holkar in the poreffion of the
territories Aa nail y under his authority. A pacific con.
iclud towards jefWtlllt Rao Holkar, in the prefent mo-
ment, will not preclude the future refloration of Ca-
thee Rao' H"lkar to the poffeflion a his hereditary
'rights. The previous adjullment of bur differences
with Dowlut Rao Scindia, and the final feWeinent of
our new political relations, together with we reflora-
;don i)fgeneral ,ranquillity in India, may be expe4ed
.to afford additiJnal facilities to a fettlement our
.relations with the Holkar family, if fuck a fettlemeat
(tumid ultimately be deemed advifeable.
'23. It will be need:try, however, to regnlate ogr.
proceedings with refpetil to Jefwunt Rao Holkar in
fuch a manner, as to avoid any acknowledgmcqt or
confirmation of the legitimacy of his dominion, or
of that of Kundee Ran Holkar.

, 2+ The confideratinns, detailed in the preceding
part of this difpatch, have determined Ise not to
r..ake any immediate attempt to reaore Calbee Rao
I-Tollar to the polfelflon of his hereditary dominions;
And I am alto difpoled to leave Jefwunt Rao Holkar
in the exercife of his prefot authority, without any
further interpolitilo of the Bridal power than drat
which may be required for the teem ity of the chiefs'
and Rates in Hindoaan with whom we have contrast-
ed defenfive alliances ; thofe chiefs and Rates mull be
ptoteßed by arms ;Takla any exaeions on the part
of Jefwunt Rao Railcar, founded in the pretended
claims of the Holkar family : we are pledged by the
fpirit of our engagements to fecurc thole allies againa
fuch exactions.
25. My fentiments on the fubjeCt of Jefwunt Ran
Holkar's fuppofed claims upon thole chiefs and aates
are detailed in the difpatch from the Governor Gene.
ral in Council to your Excellency under date the 13th
inflant ; a copy of that difpatch has been sranfmitted
to the Hon. Major General Wellelley.:
26. It may be expelled that Jefwunt Rao Holkar
will acquiefce in this moderate propdfilion on the
part of the Bridal Government. His refufal will
preclude all expectation of his concurrence in any
other arrangement, conallent with the obligations of
juilice and of public faith, and wiarequire2 redu,c;
tion of his power by force. _ _ _

27. For theacconiplithment of the propofed arrarge-
ment, it will merely be necetrary that your ExceL:n-
cy (honld lignify to Jefwunt Ran Holkar, either by
letter, or through the channel of Vakeels, whom he
may be invited to difpatch, either to your Excellency's
camp, or to that of the Hen. Major General ‘Vellcf-
ley, as may be moll convenient for the purple Of
negotiation, that the Britifh Government enterta:ns
the molt amicable difpolition towards him, lAr-
boins no intention of profecuting hodifities againft
I him, unlcts competed to that hotlility by acts of ag-
greition on his part againft the Britifh Government,
or any of its allies. That the Britifh Government is
pledged, by the obligation of its engagements with va-
rions Chiefs and States in Hindoftan,to guarantee them
againtt aU exaCtions and demands unfounded in judisce;
that we do not admit his claim to tribute, of any de-
nomination, upon thole Chiefs and antes, founded up,
on the pretentious of the Holkar family, and that v(e
(hall therefore be compelled to refill any fuch demands
on the part of Jefwunt Rao Holkar I that, with the
content of his Highnefs the Palma, the Britifh Go-
vernment will be difpofed to arbitrate the differences
fubfilting between Jefwunt Rao Holkar, and to adjutl
the claims of the feveral branches of the family, on
the principles of equity and jullice ; tint we are de-
firous of preferring peace with letwunt Rao Holkar ;
and that we will abdain from any unfolicited interfe-
rence in his concerns beyond the limits required for
the protection and fecurity of the rights and territo-
ries of our allies, and that we merely require that he
fhould manifeft a fimilar concluEt, by abftaining from
all 'matures and operations of a contrary tendency,
by withdrawing his troops from any polltion which
they may at prefent occupy of a menacing afped W
the Britifh Government Or to our Allies, 'and by
withholdingall demands on the hies of chieftaint tvitb
which the Britifh Government is in alliance. If Jet-
wont Ran Holkar fhould advance any claims on thofe
dates in his individual capacity, the &kith Govern-
ment will be difpofed to arbitrate all fuch claims on
principles of equity and judice, and, generally to ar-
bitrate all claims on any of our allies, by fimilar rules
of moderation and good faith.

2/1. On the bafis of the propnted arrangement. your
Excellency is authorifed to enter into a negociat.on
with Jefwunt Rao Holkar, ever ling your dfcretiou
with regard to the degree of fecurity whim we may
poifefs under Jefwunt Rao Holkar's a.:quiefeence in
the terms of fuch an arrangement.
19. If Holkar's views fhould appear to he evident-
ly Isaac, your Excellency will judge how far it might
be expedient to move againil his forces ; my with is
to avoid fuch an extremity: and, if peace with Scin-
dia thould be obtained on terms of adequate fe-
rtility, I fhould defire that the army under your Ex.
cellency's command fhoul..ll-peedily be formed in inch
a manner as might etredually expedite the fecurity
and fettlsment of our r aluabL cot:quells and power.
ful alliances.

30. The folidity and flrength of our dominions iii
Hindottin, under the fyflem of Treaties and Alli-
ances alreadY happily accomplithed by your Excel-
lency, will be confirmed by a peace with Scindia.
under circtunßances of glory and power, which
mutt oppofe an impregnable barrier to the affault of
any tiattvc State. The &itifh Empire in India, at
the dole of the war with the Confederate Chiefs, will
affume an alpe& of fuch fplendonr as mull daunt the
molt adventurous fpirit of any Chief or State exclud-
ed from the benefits of our proteftion ; T am there-
fore fatirfied, that after the conclufion of Peace with
Scindia, Jefwunt 'Rao Holkar, inßead of attempt-
ing to encounter the Britill arms, will anxioufly foli-
cit the countenance and favour of our Government.
The alternative of peace or war with Scindia is
probably decided, as I am convinced that Major
General Wellefley has not renewed the armiltice with
Scindia after the a
,tf ultimo. If the war with Scin-
dia fhauld be protrafted, the motions of Holkar muff
be checked without delay, and, in fuch an event,
your Excellency will be' pleated to confider the ex-
pediency of advancing that part of your force which
(previonlly to the peace of Deogaum) was deßined
for Berar, in fuch a direftion as to operate again(!
Jefwunt Rao Holkar, and ultimately to fecond Ma-
jor General Wellelley's movements again( Scindia.
In filch an extremity Major General Wellefley would
probably move towards Ongcin.
31. My with and expeftation are, however, that a
peace has aftually been figned with scindia, and if
my hopes fhould b; confirmed, I truft that the fame
of the Britith power will deter Hc'lkar, and every ad-
venturer in Aft; for many years, from ‘ncounterin&
the perils of a lath conteft with the Britilb arms.

The intelligence which your Excellency has
received of the cruelty exerciirect by Jefwunt Rao Hol.
kar towards his Englith othcers, ib the murdec of
Melt: s.Vickars, Todd, and Ryan, has occifioned great
concern in my mind. The particulari of this orroei.

It appeared by the evidence of Mr. B. bat the

by tl:arging Mr. B. with the firfl afault, in wilfully
tre,ding upon his toes; but the Magillrates dif-
7h;aged tile complaint, deeming it frtvolous and
reeatiox., but they confidered the conduEl of MY.
