BOGLE'S MISSION, 1774
am informed you far surpass . . . I have been repeatedly
informed that you have been engaged in hostilities
against the Deb Judhur, to which, it is said, the Deb's
own criminal conduct in committing ravages and other
outrages on your frontier has given rise. As he is of a
rude and ignorant race (past times are not destitute of
instances of the like misconduct which his own avarice
tempted him to commit), it is not unlikely that he has
now renewed those instances, and the ravages and plunder
which he committed on the skirts of the Bengal and
Behar provinces have given you provocation to send your
avenging army against him. However, his party has been
defeated, many of his people have been killed, three forts
have been taken from him, lie has met with the punish-
ment he deserved, and it is evident as the sun that your
army has been victorious, and that, if you had been
desirous of it, you might in the space of two days have
entirely extirpated him, for he had no power to resist your
effôrts. But I no-w take upon me to be his mediator, and
to represent to you that, as the said Deb Raja is dependent
upon the Dalai Lama . . . should you persist in offering
further molestation to the Deb Raja's country, it will
irritate both the Lama and all his subjects against you.
Therefore, from a regard to our religion and customs, I
request you will cease all hostilities against him, and in
doing this you will confer the greatest favour and friend-
ship upon me. I have reprimanded the Deb for his past
conduct, and I have admonished him to desist from his
evil practices in future, and to be submissive to you in all
matters. I am persuaded that he will conform to the
advice which I have given him, and it will be necessary
that you treat him with compassion and clemency. As
for my part, I am but a Fakir, and it is the custom of my
Sect, with the rosary in our hands, to pray for the welfare
of mankind and for the peace and happiness of the inhabi-
tants of this country ; and I do now, with my head
uncovered, entreat that you may cease all hostilities against
the Deb in future."
On receipt of this letter, Warren Hastings laid it before
the Board at Calcutta, and informed them that, in reply, he
