The success of the British arm in Hindostan, during the last war, has brought us into very close connexions with many of the princes of that country , both Indian and Mahometan. Their several rights wholly depending upon the British power, must be finally determined upon by the British justice. Among the innumerable controversies concerning Indian claims, those of the king of Tanjore, and Mahomet Ali Khawn, Nabob of Arcot, have lately attracted the greatest share of the public attention. The contrast between the proceedings of these two powers, which is very strongly marked in every respect, has been in no instance more striking than in the manner of their seeking redress for the injuries they respectively complain of. From the year 1769, if not from a more early period, the Nabob has engaged a number of person to act for him in Europe, in a great variety of ways. These gentlemen have endeavoured to recommend themselves to their employer by their extraordinary zeal and activity in his service, and their pretension to that kind of merit are not wholly without foundation.

William Burke (1730–1798) was an English pamphleteer, official, and politician. He was one of the supposed authors of Junius's Letters. William Burke, the son of barrister John Burke and only very questionably a kinsman of Edmund Burke, called though "cousin", was born in London. He was admitted to Westminster School in 1743, and elected to Christ Church, Oxford in 1747. He contributed a copy of elegiacs to the university collection on the death of the Prince of Wales in 1751, and took the degree of B.C.L. in 1755. The two kinsmen were travelling companions in 1752, worked together on the Account of the European Settlements in America, which seems to have been written by W. Burke, and joined in befriending Emin the Armenian. In 1763 Burke appeared as the friend of Ralph Verney, 2nd Earl Verney, and a confidential mediator between him and George Grenville. He was under-secretary to Henry Seymour Conway, the Secretary of State for the Southern Department, and the following year was moved into the northern department.
