they have yet received any revenue from the fertile province of 
Malabar. As the misconduct of their servants has been acknow- 
ledged, hy the legal prosecutions which have been carried on 
against them, I think the Government ought to behold the rebel- 
lion of the Cottiote Rajah without resentment, and should use gentle 
means to recall him to his duty. Had men like Colonel Monro and 
Mr. Ravenshaw been employed in Malabar, I have no doubt that the 
disturbances would have been prevented; and were their prin- 
ciples to be now adopted, I feel confident that tranquillity would 
be restored, and that the Company would shortly receive an ample 
revenue, instead of being obliged to sacrifice their troops in a 
dangerous and useless warfare.
