buctjee, receive a contingent force, and pay 34 lacs by treaty signed 13th June : 

 Tumbuctjee for the time escaped. 



Lord Hastings left Calcutta for the Upper Provinces 8th July ; on the 10th 

 October the Bengal armies were put in motion, and Lord Hastings assumed com- 

 mand of the centre division, 20th October, taking up a position near Gualior to 

 awe Scindiah. Sir T. Hislop with the Deccan army from Madras, and Sir W. 

 Keir from Bombay advanced against the Mahrattas. 



Scindiah soon signed (5th November) the treaty imposed on him, and thus 

 was rendered harmless in the ensuing struggle. 



Ameer Khan followed his example on the 9th November. The Pindarees, the 

 ostensible primary objects of our movements, were now in three bodies, 1st under 

 Cheetoo, west of the Kalee Sind ; the 2nd under Kureem Khan, near Bopal ; the 3rd 

 under Wazil Mahomed, to the westward of Saugor. 



The Peshwah broke out on the 5th November in an attack on the Residency, but 

 was repulsed by Mr. Elphinstone with the troops under Col. Burn. The Nagpoor 

 Rajah Appah Sahib, next attacked the Residency of Nagpoor, on the 25th No- 

 vember, and on the 27th, Captain Fitzgerald of the 6th Cavalry decided the protract- 

 ed contest by his celebrated charge. On the evening of the 16th December, Brigadier 

 General Doveton attacked Appah Sahib at Nagpoor, and next day completely routed 

 him. Appah Sahib intimidated came into our Camp. 



The different divisions acting under Lord Hastings continued, to the end of the 

 year, to pursue and destroy the hordes of Pindarees, now flying in all directions. 



The Cholera Morbus, which had broken out in this year during the rainy season 

 in the Delta of the Ganges, travelling westward attacked Lord Hasting's army, 

 shortly after the conclusion of the treaty with Scindiah. The deaths were esti- 

 mated at one-tenth of the army and followers. 



Ameer Khan's treaty finally ratified 19th December, when he went into Sir David 

 Ochterlony's Camp. Sir T. Hislop totally defeated the troops of Holkar at Mahid- 

 pore on the 21st December. — (Prinsep.) 



1318. — On the 1st January Captain Staunton, with a single Battalion, gallantly 

 beat off repeated attacks of the whole of the Peshwah'sarmy, consisting 20,000 men. 

 Holkar on his defeat at Mahidpore, immediately accepted the terms imposed on him ; 

 the same were ratified on the 17th January. Sutara taken by General Smith, 1 1th 

 February. Bajee Rao for ever deposed, the Sutara family restored, and Sevajee's 

 standard hoisted. The Ex-Peshwah was again defeated by General Smith on the 

 20th February ; Gokla was slain, the forts of Bajee Rao fell, and himself became 

 a fugitive. Lord Hastings, finding his plans nearly effected, commenced his march 

 homewards on the 15th February. Talner attacked by Sir T. Hislop, 27th February, 

 and carried after the loss of several officers by treachery, the Killadar was hanged. 

 Mundella, which was to have been given up, was oblieed to be stormed 26th April ; 

 the fort fell the next day: the Killadar was tried but acquitted, having private 

 orders from his sovereign Appah Sahib*. Saugor surrendered 11th March. On the 

 17th April Bajee Rao's army was met at Soonee, and routed by Col. Adams with a 

 small force. His remaining Infantry was attacked at Soolapore by Brigadier 

 General Munro, and completely destroyed. Soolapore fell on the 15th May with 

 the remains of his Artillery. Chanda was invested by Colonel Adams on the 9th 

 May. it was stormed and carried on the 20th. Bajee Rao surrendered himself to 

 Sir John Malcolm, on terms however very favorable for the Prince. Maligoan, 

 garrisoned by the Arabs late in the Mahratta service, surrendered on the 13th 

 June. 



Thus, including the fall of Asseerghur in the follow in? year (April 19th), was 

 effected the entire subversion of the Mahratta powers. Scindiah became crippled, 

 and existing only on sufferance. The Sutara family was restored, but subservient to 

 our power, and restricted to a small domain. The late Peshwah Bajee Rao's 

 power utterly destroyed, his dominions occupied, and himself a prisoner. Holkar 

 submissive, and in complete check. The Nagpoor states new modelled : Bajee Rao 

 Bhoola placed on the throne, but the government was placed under the controul and 

 management of the British. — (Prinsep.) 



1819. — A settlement made at Singapore by Sir Stamford Raffles, January. In 

 western India the Fort at Newah taken, January 31st ; that of Newtee February 

 4th ; Raree February 14th ; Booj March 23rd ; Asseerghur March 30th ; Copal Droog 

 May 14th. An expedition from Bombay sailed October 30th for the Persian Gulph, 

 and took the fortress of Ras el Khyma, the capital of the Joapmee Pirates, on the 

 9th December, and the Fort and Town ofZaya, about ten days later. The Spasmodic 

 Cholera, which had broken out in India 1S17, still raged in various parts Of it. 



* Appah Sahib's treachery being proved, he was placed under arrest : he made his escape again, 

 13th April.
