No. 3.-Treaty of Friendship and Alliance with Nana Govind Row. Jalound, 1st November, 1817.

Engagement concluded between the British Government and Nana Govind Row.

Whereas, by a Treaty concluded between the British Government and His Highness the Peishwa, under date the 13th June, 1817, corresponding with the 14th Asser, 1874 Sumbut, the rights of Supremacy possessed by His Highness over Nana Govind Row, and the Lands in the Nana's immediate occupation, have been transferred to the British Government; and whereas, the British Government has consented, on certain considerations, to relinquish the Tribute and Military Service, which by virtue of that transfer it had acquired a right to demand from the Nana; and to constitute the Nana the hereditary Ruler of the Lands at present in his actual possession; the fol lowing Articles have accordingly been concluded by mutual consent, between the British Government and the said Nana Govind Row.

ART. I. All the Articles of the Engagement contracted with the Nana Govind Row, by Colonel John Baillie, on the part of the British Government, under date the 3rd day of October, 1806, corresponding with the 10th of Shabun, 1221 Hijree, and the 11th of Koour Sood, 1863 Sumbut, shall remain in full force, excepting in as far as they are now altered by this Treaty.

II. The British Government hereby relinquishes for ever its right to Tribute and Military Service from Nana Govind Row, his Heirs and Successors. The British Government moreover acknowledges, and hereby constitutes, Nana Govind Row, his Heirs, and Successors, the hereditary Rulers of the Territory at present in the Nana's actual possession.

III. The British Government further engages to protect the aforesaid Possessions of the Nana from the aggressions of any Foreign Power; and it is accordingly hereby agreed between the Contracting Parties, that whenever the Nana shall have reason to apprehend a design on the part of any Power to invade his Territories, whether in consequence of any disputed Claim, or on any other ground, he shall report the circumstances of the case to the British Government, which will interpose its mediation for the adjustment of such disputed Claim;

the Nana, relying on the justice and equity of the British Government, agrees implicitly to abide by its award. If the apprehended aggression be referrable to any other cause, the British Government will endeavour by representation and remonstrance to avert the design; and if, notwithstanding the Nana's acquiescence in the award of the British Government, the other Party shall persist in its hostile designs, and the endeavours of the British Government shall fail of success, such measures will be adopted for the protection of the Nana's Territories as the circumstances of the case may appear to require.

IV. Nana Govind Row hereby cedes to the British Government, in perpetual Sovereignty, the whole of the lands of the Elakeh of Kundeh, appertaining to the Pergunnah of Mohubuk, circumscribed by the Territories of the British Government; and also certain Villages on the banks of the River Jumna, appertaining to the Pergunnah of Choorkee, and intermixed with the Honourable Company's Lands of Bhudank and Raeepoor, including Mal Sayer, Charity and Rent Free Lands of every description, agreeably to a Schedule subjoined to the Treaty. The Nana accordingly engages, that the aforesaid Lands shall be given up to the Officers of the British Government immediately on demand; but with a view to the satisfaction of certain Claims upon the Nana, for which some of those Lands are pledged, the British Government hereby agrees to grant to the Nana, the Revenue of those Lands to be paid in cash, up to the end of Assur next, corresponding with July, 1818. The current Revenue, after deducting the expence of collection, the outstanding balances, and the advances of Tuccavie, which may be justly demandable up to the end of Assur next, according to the regulations of the British Government, shall accordingly be collected by the British Revenue Officers, and paid to the Nana monthly.

V. If at any time the Nana have any cause of complaint against any of the Rajahs or Chiefs, allied to the British Government, the Nana engages to refer the case to the arbitration and decision of that Government, and to abide implicitly by its award; and on no account to commit aggression against the other Party; or to employ his own Force for the satisfaction of such claim, or for the redress of the grievance of which he may complain.

VI. Nana Govind Row hereby engages to abstain from corresponding with Foreign Powers, excepting with the privity and consent of the British Government.

VII. With a view to facilitate the adjustment of Boundary disputes between the Subjects of the Nana and those of the British Government, and to avoid the delay of a reference to the Nana, the Nana hereby engages to require all his Aumils, and other Officers on the

Frontier, to comply immediately with any orders they may receive from the Superintendent of Political Affairs, for causing the attendance of Parties and Witnessess, or for any other purpose connected with the adjustment of Boundary disputes, without waiting the result of a reference to him. The Nana further agrees, to give ready and due attention to all suggestions from the Superintendent respecting the punishment of any of his Subjects who may be convicted before the Superintendent of violence and aggression towards the British Subjects. With a further view to avert disputes respecting the new Boundary which will be formed between the lands now ceded by the Nana, and those to which they are contiguous, it is hereby agreed that actual possession, at the date of this Treaty, shall be held to be the criterion for the settlement of all disputes which may arise respecting the aforesaid Boundary; and that no retrospective clain, founded on former possession, shall be sustained on either side.

VIII. The British Government hereby engages to contract no engagements with Row Benaick Row, the manager of Saugor, or with the Bhasek Sahibah, detrimental to the claims and rights of the Nana in the Country of Saugor. The British Government moreover offers hereafter to interpose its good offices with a view to bring about a satisfactory adjustment of the differences between Nana Govind Row and the Manager of the Country of Saugor.

IX. Whenever the British Government may have occasion to send its Troops through the Territory of Nana Govind Row, or to station a British Force within his Territories, it shall be competent to the British Government so to detach or station its Troops, and the Nana shall give his consent accordingly. The Commander of the British Troops which may thus eventually pass through or permanently occupy a position within the Nana's Territories, shall not in any manner interfere in the internal concerns of the Nana's Government. Whatever mate

rials or supplies may be required for the use of the British Troops during their continuance in the Nana's Territories, shall be readily furnished by the Nana's Officers and Subjects, and shall be paid for at the price current of the Bazaar.
