IftRAL IN COUNCIL.
The folicitude of the Britifh Government of
India to ftrengthen and improve the relations of
amity and honourable alliance with his Majcfty
the King of Perfia, has been manifelled by the
molt fignal aas of 41e:static policy, and has been
publicly acknowledged by all the States of Afia.
f he peculiar fplendour of the embaffy which con-
veyed the tellimonies of my refpe& and attach-
ment to his hlajelty's prefence; the extraordinary
honours with which his Majefty's Ambalfador was
received, under my exprefs orders, on his Excel.
lency's arrival in the Britilh territories ; the zeal
'and of iduity difplayed by the Government of
Bombay, and by all ranks of Britifh fubjefts at
that fettlement, to conciliate the good of the
Perfian AmbalTador ; and the public preparations
asodutted under my immediate and perfonal di•
Teflon. for his Excellency's reception with the
rnoft diftinguifbed folemnity and honour at the
feat of the Supreme Britifh Authority in India,
have afforded (officiate demonfirations to the
world of my high confideration for the dignity of
the Perfian Monarch, and of my uniform intention
to evince that unalterable fentiment towards the
accredited Reprefentative of his Royal Perron.—
Reviewing thefe incontrovertible tetli monies rimy
anxiety to eltablifh a friendly and honourable al.
lianee with the power of Perfia on the molt folid
foundations, his Majefty and all the States of Afia
will anticipate the deep affliction and angui(b of
mind with which I have witneffed the hidden in-
terruption of our bright and happy profpefts by a
ditalter. which as far eluded the fcnpe of human
prudence and forelight, as it (to-paired the ordina•
ry extent of human calamity, and the common vi.
eiffitudes of fortune. To this awful difpenfation
of PROVIDINCIi. I fubmit with refignation, but
not without hope. In the molt painful moments
of my dilappointment and grief, I have derived
eutifiderable confolation from the refletlion, that
as I have hitherto afliduoully employed every pot
fible effort to cultivate a lafting friendfhip and
harmony of interefts between his Perfiaa Majelly
a; he ;r. L.,.vernment, my amicable tam.

both States with mutual borrow and confternition,
and to retard the completion of their reciprocal
wiuses; but not to fapend their eftablifbed friend-
flip by groundlefs jealoufy and unjult fapicion ;
not to frultrate the natural and propitious refialt
of their united eounfels ; not to deftroy the fruits
of their mature wifdom and jutlice ; nor to diffolve
thofe facred engagements, by which they had ce.
mented the foundations of durable concord, re.
cured the channels of tree intercourfe and benefi-
cial communication, and enlarged the fources of
their common fafety, profperity, and glory.
Entertaining a due fenfe of the value and im
portance of thole engagements to both States, I
fball purfue, with unabated confidence and perk-
Terence, the policy on which the fubfilling treaties
are founded, and the amicable and carnet' exer-
tions, by which they were obtained. The purfuit
of this comic cannot ultimately fail to attain fuc-
eefs. The calamity which we have buffered is a
juft fubjea of lamentation ; but its confequences
are not irretrievable. From the reciprocal condo-
, lence of the two States may arife new motives of
combined interell and additional fecurities of amity
! and alliance. A zealous interchange of the of-
fices of humanity, a concurrent tilde of common
forrow, and the confcions certainty of mutual fin-
cerity and good faith may lead to a more intimate
union of lentiments and views: and the temporary
furpenfion of this important emliaffy may tend 'to
tencore and improve the benefits of our aaual coa-
neaion. Supported by thofe hopes, and relying
on the jullice and integrity of the principles and
motives which have adnated the Britifh Govern.
ment, I truft that the progrefs of our renewed in-
termitic with your illuftrious Sovereign will gra.
dually obliterate the remembrance of this fatal
and unparalleled difatter, and will amply compen-
fate to my mind for its altual diftrefs by the final
accomplithment of the fame tilutary plans of po-
licy which had rendered a perfonal interview with
your lamented mailer the objea of my aloft cot--
dial withes, and of my molt anxious expeaation.
1 To repair the forere lots follained by his untimely
deceafe ; to demontlrate my fincere refped for his
memory, and my unfeigned regret that he fhould
have fallen by a violent death, within the Blitith
dominions, and in the immediate exercile of func-
tions, which the laws and ufages of all civilifed
nations have rendered (acted, it is my primary
duty to adminifler to his burviving relations and
attendants every office of humanity and friendly
compaffion, every attainable comfort and allevia-
tion of their jult pia; and every poffible compen-
Cation for the injuries which they have fuffered.—
In endeavouring to difcharge this duty, I have
feleded an Officer, who was recently veiled with .
the honourable character of Envoy from this Go
vernment to the Court of Perfia, and who now
occupies the moll confidential Ration in my fa-
mily. That Officer is direded to proceed imme-
diately to Bombay, and to afford you, in my
name, fuch effeetual aid and affitlance, and a
teltimonies of affeltionate comniiferation, as

tend to mitigate your fufferings, and to e
your affiidion. With the fame views, I have pro-
vided the moR fpeedy means of offering to your
Royal Sovereign the relpedful expretEgip of my
fincere condolence on this difaßrous eve lk and of
concerting with his Majeßy fuch meafures, as may',
coliduel the embaffy to its original purpofe, acce-
lerate the favourable iffue of every depending quer-
tion, and confirm the fubfiliing relations between
the two States, in the conciliatory fpirit of the re-
cent negociations, and on the hafts of the treaties
already concluded. (Signed) wat.t.ass.sy.
