would they have failed to excite in others the same belief, and the consequent decision of
all parties against us, as the natural consequences of our decline." That the said Hastings
himself, in his instructions to Mr. David Anderson, after authorizing him to restore all that
we had conquered during the war, expressly "excepted Ahmedabad, and the territory
conquered for Futty Sing Gwicowar." That, nevertheless, the said Hastings, in the peace
concluded by him, has yielded to every one of the conditions reprobated in the preceding
declarations as ignominious and incompatible with public faith.
That the said Warren Hastings did abandon the Ranna of Gohud in the manner already
charged; and that the said Ranna has not only lost the fort of Gualior, but all his own
country, and is himself a prisoner. That the said Hastings did not interpose to obtain any
terms in favor of the Nabob of Bopaul, who was with great reason desirous of concealing
from the Mahrattas the attachment he had borne to the English government:1211 the said
Nabob having a just dread of the danger of being exposed to the resentment of the
Mahrattas, and no dependence on the faith and protection of the English. That by the ninth
article of the treaty with Futty Sing it was stipulated, that, when a negotiation for peace
should take place, his interest should be primarily considered; and that Mr. David
Anderson, the minister and representative of the Governor-General and Council, did declare
to Sindia, that it was indispensably incumbent on us to support Futty Sing's rights: that,
nevertheless, every acquisition made for or by the said Futty Sing during the war,
particularly the fort and territories of Ahmedabad, were given up by the said Hastings; that
Futty Sing was replaced under the subjection of the Peshwa, (whose resentment he had
provoked by taking part with us in the war,) and under an obligation to pay a tribute, not
specified, to the Peshwa, and to perform such services and to be subject to such obedience
as had long been established and customary; and that, no limit being fixed to such tribute
