PROM AGRA TO OUJElN. 23 



The following day we halted to return the Riijah's 

 vifit, and on tlie J ith March, marched to JJmnsi, and. 

 encamped to the S W of the fort. Courfe S 3(34 K, 

 dillance 15^ miles. This is a confiderable town, though 

 fmaller than Dltteah. It is commanded b}'' a ftone fort 

 on a high hill; to the fouth-calt of which, at the dif- 

 tance of five or iix hundred yards, is another hill, nearly 

 on a level with the fort. The diltri6l dependent on 

 this town, which yields about four lacs of rupees per 

 annum, belongs to the Peshwa, and having been, for 

 fifty years, uninterruptedly in his poifeffion, it is 

 quieter and better cultivated than moft of the neigh- 

 bouring territories, which have undergone frequent 

 change*. On this account, it is frequented by the 

 caravans from tiic Decan, which go to Furrukhuhad, 

 and the other cities . of the Doodb. Hence an afflux 

 of wealth, which is augmented by a conliderable trade 

 in the cloths of CJuinderi, and by the manufadlures of 

 carpets, and of bows, arrows, and fpears, the principal 

 weapons of the Bundelah tribes. 



The Soubahdar of JJianfi, Rogonat'h Harry, 

 commonly refided at Burwa-Sagur, and left the care 

 oi JJiavfi to his younger brother Sheuram Bhow. 

 This gentleman paid the relident a vifit, on the evening 

 of his arrival. He isa tall, handlbme man, and of genteel 

 demeanour. At his requeft wc halted next day, and 

 returned his viiit in the evening He received us at 

 his.lioufe in town, where we faw his brother Litch 

 MUN Row, elder than Sheuram Bhow, but younger 

 than the Soubahdar. He was merely in a private capaci- 

 ty. Formerly he was in Sindiah's fervice, and about 

 two years before this period, was lent into Bujidehund, 

 with a confiderable force and twenty-two guns. But 

 he was defeated by Nooxi Erjun Sixg, sl Bundelah 

 chief, with the lofs of all his guns and baggage.
