EAST INDIES.  The subjoined Proclamation, issued by the late Sir David o.hte.rlony, will stew the origin and nature of the quarrel at IS littvre. The Faithful Servant of Muhurnad Ahker, Sim lbtishah G hazy. Generil—Sir David Ochterlony, Hart. Buhadur—Jufur Nuseer Addoulah :Vance'. Al-malts, die Great &ran Proclamation addressed to the Chiefs of tie Bliurtpore Government, and to all the Attendants, Dependants, Officers of Regiments, Risalandars, and other Authorities, Military and Civil, in tins ter. vice of the 13hurtpore Government. " Be it known to all persons in the territory of Bllurtpore, that the deceased Muharajali Buick() Singh Buhadur, through wisdom and foresigh., appointed in his life time his beloved son, Muh.irajah Bulwunt Singh Buhadur, to succeed him on the Throne, and slici e.l from the Company a Khilaat, cr Rohe of Inauguration. This recrie,t was complied with hy the Eng-, lish Government, from a sense of justice; and the Rebe was accordingly bestowed by the Governor General, through me. I proceeded in person to the Fort of Bhurtpore, and invested Muharajah Bulwunt Singh with the Robe, in public Durbar, with the approbation of all, and in presence of Muharajah Buldeo Sing Buhadur, his brothers, relations, followers, dec. from the period Bulwunt Singh was taken under the protsction and care of the British Government. I immediately. went from Bhurtporeto Diblee, and Muharajah Buldeo Singh having tetired to Gower Dhun, died there. " Soon after his death, some Officers of the Army, and men connected with the Fort of Bhurtpore, from wickedness and folly, and being also excited to disobedience and rebellion by Kowan Durjun Sal (son to the deceased Rao Luchmun Sing) kindled the flame of war and strife to such a pitch that they even spilt blood, and committed murder. At length Kower Puijun Sal obtained admission into the Fort of Bhurtpore. " Oa this account I have addressed you ; it is well known to you all, that Muharajah Bulwunt Singh Buhadur, agreeably to the custom and usage of the Government, is the lawful and proper heir. On this subject there is no doubt in the minds of people of any sect. It is, therefore, incumbent on all the servants and followers of this Government to unite in eradicating and expelling the said Kower Durjun Sal, and not in any way to permit his interference in the Government of Bhurtpore. It is also proper, that you should devote yourselves day and night to the guarding and preserving the life of your lawful master Bulwunt Singh; by acting thus, your good services will be proved to the Compan), and the Muharajah. " If you succeed in expelling the aforesaid Kower Durjun Sal, before the arrival of the Company's victorious army, it will be exceedingly proper, and extremely gratifying to the British Government; you will then gain the favour of Government and of the Muharajah. But if, in consequence of his having obtained possession, it is not now in yOur power to expel him--in this case it is fit that all the servants ar.d dependants of the Government should exert themselves to the utmost for the preservation of Bulwunt Singh and his Mother. 'e Keep your minds at ease, and rest perfectly satisfied, u the English Army is at hand, and will quickly appear for the purpose of affording assistance to the Maharajah, and expelling /Cower Durjun Sal. The utmost caution and circumspection is necessary, however, in the interim, that no injury may happen to the histha. rajah ; otherwise his relations, and those about the Government of Bhurtpore, will, in the eyes of all people, be disgraced and degraded—their lugratitaide will also be fully established. Let all act according to this Proclamation."
