Government of Bombay
From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India. From 1858-1947, a subdivision of the British Raj. It was responsible for British relations with the Gulf and Red Sea regions.
, dated 26tli December 1781, an
nouncing his change of policy respecting the Mahratta
Powers, and in which he directs the Governor in Council of
that
Presidency
The name given to each of the three divisions of the territory of the East India Company, and later the British Raj, on the Indian subcontinent.
to take immediate measures for conciliating
the Mahratta Government at Poonah, and concluding a peace
with that Power. In that despatch the Governor-General
intimated his determination, in order to carry out his new
policy " to cede all that can be yielded for peace."
It appears, however, that two obstacles stood in the way
of conciliating the Mahrattas, first, certain guarantees made
by the British Government to Raghoba Bhoonsla; and second,
a Treaty which existed between the British Government and
"Futtey Singh" Guicowar, guaranteeing him against the
Mahrattas. With respect to these obstacles to carrying out
his policy, the Governor-General observed that " to deliver
tip Raghoba, * or annul our Treaty with Futtey Singh, were
conditions that cannot be granted, from the public dishonour
which such acts would stamp on our national character. An
assent to have such dishonour connected with the reputation
of English Councils would be weakness, and that weakness
would occasion new and unanswerable demands." "But,"
continued the Governor-General in Council, " it is the address
of negotiations and the wisdom of states to contrive, in diffi
culties such as these, a remedy that may obviate the em
barrassment, and yet preserve every necessary dignity of pro
ceeding." In respect of Paghoba, there were grounds for
suspecting that he was in separate negotiation with the
Mahrattas at Poonah, "and he might," the Governor-General
suggested, "not only be permitted, but encouraged, in his
wishes to join the Mahrattas, and in that event the obstacle
removes itself."
In respect of Futtey Singh, the Governor-General goes
on to suggest—" The conduct of Futtey Singh must be
singularly meritorious as a native, if occasion do not occur
