PROCLAMATION,

By the Governor-General of India.

Camp, Lulleeanee, February 18, 1846.

The chiefs, merchants, traders, ryots, and other inhabitants of Lahore and Umritsur, are hereby informed, that his Highness Maharajah Dhuleep Singh has this day waited upon the Right Honourable the Governor-General, and expressed the contrition of himself and the Sikh Government for their late hostile proceedings. The Maharajah and Durbar having acquiesced in all the terms imposed by the British Government, the GovernorGeneral, having every hope that the relations of friendship will speedily be established between the two Governments, the inhabitants of Lahore and Umritsur have nothing to fear from the British army.

The Governor-General and the British troops, if the conditions. above adverted to are fulfilled, and no further opposition is offered by the Khalsa army, will aid their endeavours for the re-establishment of the descendants of Maharajah Runjeet Singh, and for the protection of its subjects.

The inhabitants of the cities in the Punjaub will, in that case, be perfectly safe, in person and property, from any molestation. by the British troops; and they are hereby called on to dismiss

apprehension, and to follow their respective callings with all confidence.

By order of the Right Hon. the Governor-General of India,
F. CURRIE,

Secretary to the Government of India,

with the Governor-General.

Nor should I omit to mention, as a proof of their high state of discipline, that trade has been carried on as unrestrained in the towns and villages around us, and the same confidence shown by the inhabitants as if we were located in one of our long established provinces. These are features which I well know you will highly appreciate, and which make me justly proud of this noble army.

But to revert to my narrative of the battle of Sobraon, where all so signally distinguished themselves, it would be invidious, indeed, impossible to particularize. But I must-now that the field, and I hope the great stake for which we were fighting, has been won-mourn over the loss of many highly distinguished officers. I shall only here name those whose meed of praise can only be their country's regret at their loss-Major-General Sir Robert Dick and Colonel Taylor of the 29th, Acting Brigadiers, nobly fell in the hour of victory, esteemed, admired, and regretted by the whole army.

In the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshah, and Aliwal, I reported upon the noble bearing of Her Majesty's army, both cavalry and
