 or elegance could not be hop-

 been expedlcd. In the exten- 

 fivc chambers of the palace, a 

 rich profuficn of cnrpet?, hang- 

 ings, and filks, gilded and 

 fluted pillars, and walls and 

 ceilings painted and buniifhed; 

 and in the garden, walks and 

 pieces of water wtll ciif-

 and fliady avenues, and fruit 

 and tiowers in abup.dance.

 proof of the rapid (Iridcs the 

 Ibrmer mafter of Daogalore

 Kilicdar, Bahauder Khan, fell

 I'oner.

 lionourable ifTue of the fa- 

 tigues and dangers which they 

 underwent during the late ar- 

 duous liege. 



< Their alacrity and firmneii 

 in the execution of their va-
