of the Tondamandalam had an interview with him. He fixed their 

 rate of tribute. Mention is made among others of Bomma-reddi of 

 Calustri. The rdyers general afterwards went to Ginjee. The chiefs 

 of the Chola-mnndalam had an interview with him, and their tribute was 

 also settled. Vaiyapa nayaker continued at Ginjee with his army. 

 He gave it in charge to the subordinate generals to go and levy tribute 

 on the Pandya, Chola, and Chera kingdoms. In Tanjore, Trichi/wpoly, 

 Madura and Tiru-nagari, the kings respectfully answered to the demand. 

 Thus the eastern Carndtaca (as distinguished from Mysore, &c.) 

 became subject to the rdyer. He derived three crores of rupees 

 from this country, and in consequence he divided the whole into three 

 parts, under three viceroys. Crishnapa nayaker at Ginjee, govern- 

 ed the country from Nellore to the river Coleroon; Vijaya Raghava 

 at Tanjore, governed the fertile country washed by the Cauvery river; 

 and to Venkitapa nayaker, was assigned the country south of the 

 latter. Notices follow of the proceedings of these viceroys. A Muham- 

 madan coalition was formed against the rayer. The principal vice- 

 roy of the latter was recalled, with his troops ; and Tubaki nayaker 

 thenceforward assumed independency at Ginjee. His successors with 

 their dates and proceedings are mentioned. The last of them Appa 

 nayaker is described as weak and vicious to an extreme. He came 

 to the throne, F. 1030, and in his time a Muhammadan confederacy, 

 the formation of which is ascribed to the treachery of Bomma raja of 

 Chingleput, brought down a deluge of Muhammadan troops into the low- 

 er Carnatic. The siege of Ginjee, and its capture, after great resistance 

 are described with considerable force and spirit, and at much length as 

 the author is writing about his native place. The proceedings of Vijaya 

 Raghava at Tanjore are also alluded to : he purchased peace. Tiru- 

 mala nayaker of Madura, by the assistance of the Collavies routed 

 and repelled the Muhammadans, who returned discomfited to Ginjee. 

 Irruption of the Mahrattas into the country. Seizure of Tanjore. 

 Tribute imposed by them on other places. Proceedings of Sivaji in the

 Notice of other Europeans. From this time forwards, there is a minute 

 and generally correct detail of the proceedings of the English and French 

 in connexion with the nabob on the one part, and Chun da saheb, &c 

 on the other part. The French capture of Ginjee is circumstantially 

 stated. The whole of the connected and subsequent transactions are 

 interwoven with details as to motives on the part of native princes, 

 such as perhaps our English historians, who have gone over the same 

 ground, may not have so fully known. Hyder Ali and Tippo's pro-
