When a great or powerful enemy is not to be fpund, a little or a weak one will do just #S{%ell. The greatest part of the military feree of India has been sum- moned to repel some formidable aggression committed by a Rajah of Napaul, whose elevated dominions lie to the north of the mountains of JBootan, six hundred miles from Calcutta. This great chief has at last been reduced to reason ; but not until many of our best officers had perished in the conflict, and a multitude of European soldiers a...s well as sepoys. In the established 58 phraseology of England in Bengal, there could be no peace, no security for our pos- sessions, while that formidable power, that restless vicinity, that desperate aggressor, was permitted to exist in force to disturb our frontier, to hang on our skirts, and to threaten us with invasion. Now, if you had heard that every soldier in Britain, including the militia, had been assembled to repel or subdue a Jcing of the Isle of Man, or of the Isle of Dogs, and that, after an infinite or indefinite loss of men and money (for the truth of the amount is not to be spoken at all times, nor is it exactly known here at any time), we had subdued these crowned heads, and made them pay costs of suit, by a sur- render of half their noble dominions, you might form a confused idea of the dignity and importance of a contest between the British empire in India and a petty prince beyond the extremity of our provinces, whose rocks and mountains were his territory as well as his defence.
