the Punjab. Although he owed the possession 81
his territory to the favor he received ut the hands
OF Lord Hardinge, he took no active part in the
suppression of Shere Singh's revolt and il is more
than probable that, in case of reverse, he would
have placed his army at the disposal of that chief
and joined with him IN his attempt to drive the
British from the Punjab He has ever since contin-
ued TO increase his army, although protesting the
most friendly intentions These hostile preparations

no less than one hundred and fifty pieces. Gho-
labs reply is characteristic. He declares his own
Willingness to comply with the requisition but
adds that his troops would not permit the guns TO
be removed. SO himsy an excuse would not, of
course be permitted to avail him; and if it is really
true that such requistion has been made, we
may expect to see it enforced by Sir c. Napier In
the mean time, large bodies of Sikhs are said to be
