11Princes of Caubool should, if possible, be diverted from

12proceeding into our provinces, I naturally concluded that you

13would give them no encouragement, and I should almost have

14considered myself as acting intrusively if I had addressed you

15on the subject. Even as it is, you appear to me to have

16acted according to the spirit of the wishes of Government.

17The arrival of the Prince, though not altogether unexpected,

18as appears from your dispatch No. 90, was nevertheless sudden,

19and your having taken measures for preventing his suffering

20distress, while you forbore to encourage his remaining at

21Ludhianeh and evidently exerted yourself in endeavouring

22to postpone his proceeding to Dehli, cannot, I think, be

23disapproved of by Government.

248. Copies of your dispatch and of this my reply shall

25be transmitted to the Chief Secretary by this night’s dawk

26for the information of Government.

27114, From Lieutenunt-Colunel D, Ocnutertonr, Agent, Gov-

28ernor-CGeneral, Loodeana, to N. BB. Epaonstone,

29Lsquire, Chief Secretary to Government,—No, 96, dated

30the 30th of December 1810.

31In my short letter of yesterday I had the honor to

32acquaint you, for the information of the Right Honorable the

33Governor-General in Council, that the Prince Yunas would in

34the course of a few hours recross the Sutledge on his return

35to his father.

362. I have now the honor to report the actual departure

37of the Shahzada, accompanied to the Sutledge by my Head

38Moonshy and to the Phillour Post by the Vakeel of Rajah

39Runjeet Singh, who I requested to proceed and desire the son

40of Mohkum Chund, at present in command, to give him safe

41convoy to Lahore.

4238. I also wrote to Runjeet himself informing him that

43the Prince, having left his father in a moment of dissatisfac-

44tion, was now in progress on his return, and that it would

45contribute to his reputation to treat him with distinction.
