The English East India company is, under the title of Dewan, the real and actual sovereign of Bengal, Behar, and Orixa: a dominion1 equal to almost any one state in Europe, in respect of either extent and fertility of country, or numbers of ingenious and industrious2 subjects; and exceeding most of them in the internal materials of commerce, or resources of wealth. The Company executes the government of this dominion by a deputation, consisting of a Governor and Council; who reside at Calcutta, the Company’s original presidency3, or chief factory in Bengal. And the Directors, who, as possessing the executive authority of the Company, may be termed the supreme4 sovereigns of this Indian dominion, have preserved to themselves the sole power of immediately ordering, directing and controuling 18the government; for this deputed government communicates its purposes, receives its orders, and accounts for its conduct to none but the Directors.

But it is evident, that the distance of situation must render the immediate5 controul of the Directors perfectly6 impotent, ineffectual, and nugatory7; for it would be absurd to suppose, that the government of Bengal should defer8 the execution of any one purpose until it shall have communicated with, and received the opinion of the Directors, which cannot be effected in the space of a whole year; consequently the directors cannot interfere9 in the direction, or ordering of this government, farther than in some few cases of the most general or invariable nature: but the execution of even these general orders depends upon the will and discretion
