In vain did the Hindu sepoys show the most chilling indifference to the belauded restoration. Ellenborough could not resist the temptation to copy Napoleon's magniloquent proclamation under the pyramids.

The tributary amirs had on the whole been faithful, for Major <a href="/wiki/Sir_James_Outram,_1st_Baronet" title="Sir James Outram, 1st Baronet">James Outram</a> controlled them. He reported some opposition, and Ellenborough ordered an inquiry, but entrusted the duty to Sir <a href="/wiki/Charles_James_Napier" title="Charles James Napier">Charles Napier</a>, with full political as well as military powers. Mir Au Morad was intrigued with both sides so effectually that he betrayed the amirs on the one hand, while he deluded Napier on the other. Ellenborough was led on till events were beyond his control, and his own instructions were forgotten. Sir Charles Napier made more than one confession like this: "We have no right to seize Sind, yet we shall do so, and a very advantageous, useful and humane piece of rascality it will be."

On the north, the disordered kingdom of the <a href="/wiki/Sikhs" title="Sikhs">Sikhs</a> was threatening the frontier. In Gwalior to the south, the feudatory <a href="/wiki/Maharashtra" title="Maharashtra">Mahratta</a> state, there were a large rebellious army, a Ranee only twelve years of age, an adopted chief of eight, and factions in the council of ministers. These conditions brought Gwalior to the verge of civil war. Ellenborough reviewed the danger in the minute of 1 November 1845, and told Sir <a href="/wiki/Hugh_Gough,_1st_Viscount_Gough" title="Hugh Gough, 1st Viscount Gough">Hugh Gough</a> to advance. Further treachery and military licence rendered the battles of Maharajpur and Punniar (fought on the same day), inevitable though they were, a surprise to the combatants. The treaty that followed was as merciful as it was wise. The pacification of Gwalior also had its effect beyond the Sutlej, where anarchy was restrained for yet another year, and the work of civilisation was left to Ellenborough's two successors. But by this time the patience of the directors was exhausted. They had no control over Ellenborough's policy; his despatches to them were haughty and disrespectful; and in June 1844 they exercised their power of recalling him.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEChisholm1911290_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEChisholm1911290-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Political_career,_1844–1858"><span id="Political_career.2C_1844.E2.80.931858"></span>Political career, 1844–1858</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Edward_Law,_1st_Earl_of_Ellenborough&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Political career, 1844–1858"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On his return to England, Ellenborough was created <b>Earl of Ellenborough</b>, in the county of Cumberland,<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Knight Grand Cross of the <a href="/wiki/Order_of_the_Bath" title="Order of the Bath">Order of the Bath</a><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and received the thanks of Parliament; but his administration soon became the theme of hostile debates, though it was successfully vindicated by Peel and Wellington.

In 1858 he took office under Lord Derby as president of the board of control, for the fourth time.

General disapprobation was excited; votes of censure were announced in both Houses; and, to save the cabinet, Ellenborough resigned.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEChisholm1911290_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEChisholm1911290-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>But for this act of rashness, he might have enjoyed the task of carrying into effect the home constitution for the government of India which he sketched in his evidence before the select committee of the House of Commons on Indian territories on 8 June 1852. Paying off his old score against the <a href="/wiki/British_East_India_Company" class="mw-redirect" title="British East India Company">East India Company</a>, he then advocated the abolition of the court of directors as a governing body, the opening of the civil service to the army, the transference of the government to the crown, and the appointment of a council to advise the minister who should take the place of the President of the Board of Control. These suggestions of 1852 were carried out by his successor <a href="/wiki/Edward_Stanley,_15th_Earl_of_Derby" title="Edward Stanley, 15th Earl of Derby">Lord Stanley</a>, in 1858, so closely even in details, that Lord Ellenborough must be pronounced the author, for good or evil, of the system of direct rule of India that was introduced at that time.
