They cannot ; and is this the requital to be sarcastically alluded to merely by a sentence of a line and a half? Is this the return to the Royal Race " who have ever been faithful and true to their friendship with the English nation?" Is it the rule by which nations are guided in their intercourse with one another, that because a mistaken policy or bad system of administration prevails in one, that the bordering nation with whom friendly treaties exist, and with whom " true friendship " has bee...n kept, should annex that Kingdom ? Can it then be wondered at that " His Majesty the King of Oudh refused to enter into the amicable agreement whereby the Government of his territories should be vested exclusively and for ever in the Honorable East India Company ? " We do not desire to fall into the same error intentionally that we have charged against the Indian Government, of merely giving advice of that nature which simply finds fault. Had the Government of India felt for the oppression in Oudh, and for the cultivators, and these appear to be the only persons alluded to in the proclamation (Church, Army, Physic, Law, come under the heads of careless King, worth- less favourites, uncontrolled Collectors, undisciplined Troops, and gangs of freebooters) had, we say, the Government of India simply felt for the cultivators, and desired to alleviate their sufferings, what was easier than to tell His Majesty that the British troops would be withdrawn by a certain date if the system submitted for his adoption were not at once put in force.
