and happiness of the people, authorized the foregoing declarations; and
the zemindars, independent talookdars, and other actual proprietors of
land, with or on behalf of whom a settlement has been, or may be con-
cluded, are to consider, these orders fixing the amount of the assessment
as irrevocable, and not liable to alteration by any persons whom the Court
of Directors may hereafter appoint to the administration of their affairs
in this country.
The Governor-General in Council trusts, that the proprietors of land,
sensible of the benefits conferred upon them by the public assessment
being fixed for ever, will exert themselves in the cultivation of their lands,
under the certainty that they will enjoy exclusively the fruits of their own
good management and industry, and that no demand will ever be made
upon them, or their heirs or successors, by the present or any future
Government, for an augmentation of the public assessment in consequence
of the improvement of their respective estates.
To discharge the revenues at the stipulated periods without delay or
evasion, and to conduct themselves with good faith and moderation towards
their dependent talookdars and ryots, are duties at all times indispensably
required from the proprietors of land, and a strict observance of those duties
is now more than ever incumbent upon them, in return for the benefits
which they will themselves derive from the orders now issued. The
Governor-General in Council therefore expects that the proprietors of
land will not only act in this manner themselves towards their dependent
talookdars and ryots, but also enjoin the strictest adherence to the same
, principles, in the persons whom they may appoint to collect the rents from
them. He further expects that without deviating from this line of conduct,
they will regularly discharge the revenue in all seasons ; and he accordingly
notifies to them, that, in future, no claims or applications for suspensions or
remissions, on account of drought, inundation, or other calamity of season,
will be attended to, but that in the event of any zemindar, independent
talookdar, or other actual proprietor of land, with or on behalf of whom a
settlement has been or may be concluded, or his or her heirs or successors
failing in the punctual discharge of the public revenue which has been, or
