RESOLVED, That the board affent to the two propofitions made by Bow Buckfey to Mr., Anderfon, upon the grounds of the treaty for the better prefervation of the peace established with the Maratta go

vernment; viz.

Firft, That the English and Maratta governments do mutually agree not to afford refuge to any chiefs, merchants, or other perfons, who fhall hereafter fly for protection to either, from the territories of the other.

Secondly, That the 11th article of the treaty, concerning the intercourfe of fhipping, be explained to mean according to former custom (Monjib Sabuck Duftow.)

Refolved, That the prefident and council at Bombay be defired to restore to the Marattas, the guns

and

and rakelas taken in Baffeen and Arnolla; but as it is, perhaps, impoffible to ascertain the identical guns and ftores fo taken, or as fome of them may probably have been loft, or expended, that the spirit of this request be only attended to; and that Madajee Sindia be requefted to confider this as a full compliance with his wishes in that inftance, and affured it is our intention to comply with them in the fulleft poffible extent, although it will not admit of a more pofitive declaration.

Refolved, and it is hereby declared, that all grants or obligations heretofore made, and now fubfifting, betwixt the English and Ragonaut Row, are now null and void; but this muft not be conftrued to extend to any rights allowed by actual treaty.
