[^ *]: Munro's letter to Marquis of Hastings, 12th Aug. 1817. The Duke of Wellington agrees,—“As soon as a subsidiary alliance has been formed, it has invariably been discovered that the whole strength of the tributary government consisted in the aid afforded by its more powerful ally, or rather protector?—and from that moment the respect, duty, and loyalty of its subjects have been weakened.” S. Owen, Wellesley, 795, 773.
