sufficient to induce him to retreat to Oojein, and to release
the British Resident. But Lord Cornwallis, being seriously
alarmed by the successes of Holkar and the reverses the
British army had received in Colonel Hanson's retreat and
before Bhurtphore, determined to conciliate Scindiah, and
to overlook the Maha Rajah's scandalous breach of the
Treaty of Peace, and the outrage on the law of nations he
had been guilty of, by first plundering the camp and then
imprisoning the British Resident at his Court. With
this view Lord Cornwallis, without regarding the pro
tests of the faithful ally of the British Government, the
Ran a of Gohud, who was too weak to oppose the will of the
Governor-General, determined to cancel the solemn Treaty
entered into by his predecessor, the Marquis of Wellesley, in
Council, with the Rana, and to make over that chiefs here
ditary possessions, thereby secured to his Highness, to the
Maha Rajah Dowlut Rao Scindiah. " So great eagerness
was evinced by the Governor-General* to accommodate the
differences with Scindiah, that had the power of that chief
not been completely broken, it would probably have ensured
a prolongation of hostility with all the energy and activity
of the Mahrattas." The ostensible reason given for this
breach of public faith was, "that the continuance of the
Treaty was inconvenient to the British Government, and
that the Rana was totally unfit for the exercise of sove
reign authority."
Upon the 19th September 1805, the Governor-General
communicated his decision to the Commander-in-chief, who
in reply urged, without effect, "that the honour of the British
Government was pledged to respect the alliance with the
Rana of Gohud, as well as those formed with the Rajahs of
Jodhpore and Jeypore, and that the British Government
could not, without a breach of public faith, cancel or modify
any part of these engagements, without the consent of the
other contracting party." Before this remonstrance reached
