"Between the British Government and this family (the old Hindoo house of Mysore) an intercourse of friendship and kindness had subsisted in the most desperate crisis of their adverse fortunes.' "They had formed no connection with your cnemies. Their elevation would be a spontaneous act of your generosity, and from your support alone could they ever hope to be maintained upon the throne, either against the family of Tiphoo Sultan, or against any other claimant. They must naturally view with an eye of jealousy all the friends of the usurping family, and consequently be adverse to the French, or to any other states connected with that family in its hereditary hatred of the British Govern ent "In adition to these motives of policy, moral consideration and sentiments of generosity and humanity, favoured the restoration of the ancient family of Mysore. Their high birth, the antiquity of their legitimate title, and their long and un merited suffereings rendered their peculiar objects of compassion and respect; nor could it be doubted that their government would be both more accepted and more, indulgent than that of the Mahommedan tasurpers, to the mass of thc inhabitants of the country composed almost entirely of Hindoos."
