¹ [In a letter to the Governor of Bombay, dated October 31, 1785, Malet quoted parts of a letter from the Pēshwā’s government to the Rājā of Berār concerning the reception of Lubin at Poona, and added, ‘Permit me, gentlemen, to repeat that after an avowal of such general principles, after their particular assent to my appointment, after setting us the example by sending agents both to Calcutta and Bombay, and above all, while they are at this moment entertaining a French envoy at Poona, no objection can rest with the Ministry (i.e. the Pēshwā’s) to the promotion of the Company’s orders in the completion of my appointment as signified both to your Government and this (Bengal) by the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors.’ Forrest, *Selections (Marāthā Series)*, i. 525.)]
