the Gbvemment, Lord Oornwallis had died at Ghazeepore on
the 5th October 1805. It is now known that it was when
" his Lordship was in a state of mental and physical debility*
that he composed and signed the despatch of the 19 th Sept.,
ordering a sudden revolution in the policy of a great empire,
and when his Lordship was not in a condition to comprehend
the scope and consequences of the measure he directed. A

General to accede to his wishes, Scindiah offered to cede the
districts of Dholepore, Bharee, and Rajah Kerrah, held by
him under the seventh article of the Treaty of Peace, in order
that these districts might be made over to the Rana as a

Scindiah, It will be remembered that Sir John Malcolm,
