Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Case of the President or Governor, and of the Council of Madrass, Fairly Stated: With Observations and Remarks on the Conduct of Both Parties, as Well as of Colonel Stuart The Company´s instructions to their new President and Council had two principal objects in view --- The restoration of the Rajah of Tanjore under certain conditions, and the establishment of a Committee of Circuit, that was to examine into the management of their different revenues, on the spot on which they were collected. In the execution of the first part of these instructions, great delicacy and management, with respect to the Nabob, was recommended to the new President and Council, the Company esteeming him the most powerful, as well as the most able of the Indian Princes upon that coast. The Committee of Circuit was not to begin their operations till the Rajah of Tanjore was re-established. The Nabob of Arcot made representations upon representations against the injustice and breach of faith, as he called it, of dispossessing him of Tanjore. --- He would upon no account give his consent to the Company´s re-establishing the Rajah, but did not oppose our placing a European garrison in his capital, nor attempt to resist that by force, which he endeavoured by every other means in his power to obstruct. --- It was not indeed to be expected, he would give any assistance to the diminution of his own power. The Nabob´s artful conduct rendered it necessary, that some of the Company´s ablest servants should be present at Tanjore, at the moment of the Rajah´s being put in possession of the government of his country. Lord Pigot proposed that he himself should be sent there, and have liberty to take along with him such other of the Company´s servants, civil or military, as he judged proper. The Council acquiesced, and vested his Lordship with all power, military as well as civil, whilst absent. This was not carried without opposition in the Council, and deserves particular attention, as nothing but harmony had appeared there before that time.
