Hlstlble. 90,
3. The Governor General entirely agrees with you
in yiewirg the slookdars sud landnolders OF Dude IN
very different Gght from that in woch rebels in our
olo province to DC regarded. TIE people OF Dude
had been subjects Of the British Government for little
Il 81 year when the mutnies broke out; they
had become by 70 act Of their own. BY tae intro
ductCn of raie Of tie obiets had suffered
lose Of property and al had experienced dimlnuton
of tie mpOrtsi aud Arbitrary power which they had
hitherto oyed; and II il no marvel that those among
them who mad thns been OseTs should, when they saw
our authority dissolved, have hastened TO shake OIL
their Glleg i6Ice.
f. TIE Governor General views these oircumstan-
ces pslliati0n Of acts Of rebellion, even where
hostility has been most sctive and systematic. Ac'
c0rdt CIV punishment by death Or imprisonment IS a.

;. The Governor General considers that the
tis taken is one con-l.tent VITA the dignity oil the
Government sId abundsnty lenient. 20 nave FOL
lowed that which i, suggested IN your secretary let
ter would in bis Lordsrp's opinion, nave been to
tt at the rebels not MY a. honoIs0e enemies Dat as
enemies who lad won the Gsy.
In the course OF tire rebellion, most of the leaders
in IT, probably oil, have reteken 70 themselves TIE
lanes AID villages Of which they were deprived by
the tunuary settlement which followed t9e establish

and before any submission had been received or IL

their ancient prosecutions had been recognized by the
Government not possible that the act would not

ish Government como. be losing game, and although
i might have purchased immediate return 10 order,
II would assuIeoy have placed the future peace
of The pssylnces upon u secure icuncat'on.
