TO THE COURT OF AYA.

all hostilities towards your Government. If 
any dispute respecting boundaries arise, the na¬ 
tural course to pursue is, that each party should 
maintain what it was in actual possession of at 
the termination of the war, until the respective 
limits of their territories shall be defined by an 
amicable arrangement. I will discuss any fair 
proposal which you may have to offer for ad¬ 
justing the frontier between yourselves and 
Cassay.— B. We wish that you would give or¬ 
ders to Gumbheer Singh, to refrain from all ag¬ 
gression upon our territory, until we have an 
opportunity of representing the matter by means 
of our Ambassadors in Bengal. 
E. If you wish that I should direct that 
Gumbheer Singh be not permitted to make any 
aggression on your territories, and that any dis¬ 
pute shall be settled by the Government of In¬ 
dia, through your Ambassadors, I will write im¬ 
mediately to the British Commissioner at Syl- 
het by way of Munnipore, and request him to 
give Gumbheer Singh positive orders to remain 
quietly within his own possessions, pending a 
reference to the Governor-General.— B. This is 
all very well, but Gumbheer Singh has made 
aggressions since hearing of the peace, and we 
wish him to fall back to the position he held 
when he heard of the cessation of hostilities.
