This tow'n is now in pofleflion of the Brililh, in confe- 
quence of fome recent difputes between the Eaft-India 
Company and the rajah of Berar, which chieftain was 
railed to the fovereignty by Briiiih interference, and to 
the exclufion of a candidate protedled by Scindia. In 
confequence of fome lioftile difpolitions in that Hate, two 
engagements have taken place. The firft, between Col. 
Scott and the troops of Berar, was long, obftinate, and 
bloody : it lafted from the evening of the 26th of Novem¬ 
ber, 1817, to twelve o’clock on the following day j and, 
although the enemy was repuifed, and fix of his guns 
captured,it was not until, of Col. Scott’s fmall force, 14 of- 
N 
ficers and 349 privates were left among the killed and 
wounded. We are not enabled, by any paflage of the 
Gazette, to explain the caufes of hoftility between Col. 
Scott and the troops of the rajah of Berar. On the 25th 
of November, Col. Scott took a pofition which com¬ 
manded Nagpour, at the requifition of Mr. Jenkins, the 
refident; but he does not inform us what W'ere the pro¬ 
vocations to this march. It is plain, however, that the 
Berar troops were neither beaten nor difpirited in the 
a£tion with that officer, fir.ce, on the 16th of December 
following, they encountered the army commanded by- 
Gen. Doveton, in a battle of much greater importance. 
General Doveton appeared before Nagpour on the 12th of 
December. The refident then announced to the rajah 
the conditions on which the company would grant hint 
peace. On the 16th, information was received, that the 
rajah had complied with our demands, and might be 
looked for immediately in the Britilh camp. He came ac¬ 
cordingly, forrendering his perfon and his guns, and fend¬ 
ing an agent to his own officers to enforce his orders. 
But, on the advance of the Britilh army to have them car¬ 
ried into execution, the town fired on our columns, and 
attacked us with a formidable body of troops. Our at¬ 
tempt to ftorm, being made on the 24th of December, 
was completely repuifed by the Arabs and other troops 
in the fervice of the rajah, who killed and wounded above 
300 of our men, including 104 Europeans and 10 officers. 
On the 30th of December the Arab garriion evacuated 
the city on certain conditions, when it was forthwith 
occupied by the Britilh troops. Thus it would appear 
that the rajah’s army oppofed the Britilh, after orders 
had been lent them by their chief to fubmit; but, whe¬ 
ther this was done in defiance of thofe orders, or by 
connivance, it is impoffible for us to fay. But, as we are 
in poffeffion of the town of Nagpour, and have the rajah 
in cuftody, we are in no danger from that quarter; and 
it is now underftood, that military poffeffion will be taken 
by Great Britain of the whole of the dominions of the 
rajah of Berar; and that the government of that exten- 
five country will be adminiftered pretty much as the af¬ 
fairs of Mysore (fee that article, p.465.) have been con¬ 
duced fince the death of Tippoo ; namely, by inverting 
a Britilh refident with all the real authority, and leaving, 
or placing, a nominal lovereign on the throne. 
In an aftion againft Holkar, on the 21ft of December, 
(with victory on our fide,) we loft 30 officers and 700 men. 
But thelaft news from India, received about the 30th of 
May, (1818,) informs us, that a treaty of peace has been 
concluded with Holkar, and that the war againft the Pin- 
darries is going on fuccelsfully. As Holkar is the chief 
of the Mahratta powers, we may hope that a peace with 
him will loon be followed by accommodations with the 
reft. This Holkar is the Ion and fucceffor of Jeffwunt 
Rao Holkar, of whom our laft mention is made under 
the article Hindoostan, vol. x. p. 114. He’died at Bhan- 
poorah on the 27th of October, 1811.
