against him, and is expressive of the satisfaction which he,
the Governor-General, Warren Hastings, acknowledges him
self to have enjoyed in the distresses of the Rana, the ally
of the Company." The following is an extract from that
despatch, and it is highly requisite to bear in memory in
perusing it, that the alleged acts of perfidy therein alluded
to were in themselves never established; on the contrary,
were found to be false; and that even had they been found
correct, they had been all known to the Governor-General
previous to the conclusion of the Treaty of Scindiah, by the
fourth article of which the safety of the Rana and his do
minions was guaranteed, and therefore were condoned, and
considered at that time by the Governor-General as not
established. "Though the Rana's perfidy," the Governor-
General states to his Agent in this disgraceful communica
tion, " has been strongly exemplified in his conduct to our
Government, and I myself rejoice at every instance of a
traitor suffering the punishment of his treachery, and deriv
ing it from the influence* of his character; yet I must again
desire you to offer our mediation and intercession on his
behalf. Let Scindiah accept our pledge for his good be
haviour, and if the Rana shall afterwards break his en
gagements, we will declare him equally the enemy of our
Government as his, and consider ourselves at liberty to act
hostilely against him. An engagement to act hostile!y may
not suit the state of our own affairs perhaps, or
tion of the members of this Go —and I do not like
to make an engagement which I think others may refuse to
abide by—yet I think this kind of guarantee will satisfy
Scindiah, and he will not want our assistance to crush so
fallen an enemy. If the Rana should take advantage of
Scindiah's absence to renew his hostilities, in that case we
ought, on requisition, to invade the dominions of the Rana,
and that may be made a specific condition of our guarantee."
In respect of the contents of this letter it may be observed,
