FEAR OF THE CHINESE 19

Bogle, at the request of the Tashi Lama, related to him
the substance of his conversation with the Lhasa deputies.
The Lama assured him again of the reasonableness of his
proposals in regard to trade, but said that, in reply to the
letter he had written on the subject, he had received a
letter from the Lhasa Regent mentioning his apprehension
of giving umbrage to the Chinese. There were, too,
disturbances in Nepal and Sikkim which rendered this an
improper time to settle anything, but in a year or two he
hoped to bring it about. As to the English, the Lhasa
Regent had received such accounts as made him suspicious,

told him he might, and that he had no doubt that Warren
Hastings would be ready to employ his mediation to make
the Gurkha Raja desist from his attempts on the territories
subject to Lhasa, and that he had reason to think that
from the Gurkha Raja's dread of the English it would be

of the English arose not only from himself, but also from

was subject. The Regent wished, therefore, to receive an
answer from the Court at Peking.
Bogle contended that Warren Hastings, in his proposals
to facilitate trade, was promoting the advantage of Tibet
as well as of Bengal ; that in former times merchants
used to come freely into Tibet ; that the Gurkha Raja's
wars and oppressions had prevented their coming for some
years past, and he only prayed the Lama to remove the
obstacles which these had occasioned. To this the Lama
