One more of these opinions must find room
for. It is leveled at Com. Shubrick: l see that
Com. Shubrick has been making speeches, etc.
and that he stood by, sucking his thumbs, while
the poor King, in his reply, was made to slur our
Commissioner, by a pointed notice of the United
States Consul. learn, also, that dinner given
by the Commodore, on board the Independence,

that is justly his due, and doubt not that the

the London Times strongly advocating the con.
quest of the Punjah. At that time he was not
connected with the arms in India, but very soon
afterwards he was appointed to supersede Lord
Cough 1t is fair, then, to infer that the British
Government approves of Napers views. The

letter the plan to be used in holding the Punjab.
