 fort named Rmtipoom, diftant fix miles. This for- 

 ^nerly belonged to the Rajah of Jynagur, and was by 

 him affigned to the prieft of Mohunt Jograj ; but 

 at the fettlement made in 1791 with Tuckojee 

 HoLCAR, tliis fort, with a territory of 6o,000 rupees, 

 was ceded to him. It ftill remained in lils pofleliion, 

 and the command of it was entrufted to a Sekh, named 

 KiRPAL-sixG. This man, hearing rliar we were 

 going to the camp of Gopal Bhow, the general of 

 SiXDiAH, with whom Ho l car was th-en in a 

 ilate of actual hoftility, arrefted our tents. No arp:u- 

 ments could prevail with him to releafc them, till a 

 letter was fent to Holcar, who was encamped at no 

 great diitance. He exprefled great difpleafure at the 

 condudl of Kirpal-Sixg, and difpatched aj^//ioj-, or

 peremptory orders to all his aumils, that none fhould
