agreeable, and of great and decifive con- 
fequeice. A battle was fought on the 
aith of September, lait between the Bri- 
tith forces, and thofe of the Mahrattas, 
near Delhi, in which the Mabratta force 
was broken, with prodigious flaughter. 
‘The important fortrefs of Allyghur had 
furrendered to General Lake, on the 4th 
of the fame month. The Mahrattas again 
rallied after their defeat, retired ftill tar- 
ther into their own territories, threw de- 
tachments into the fortrefles, and hoped 
to find their fecurity in withdrawing to 
a local fituation, into which a Britifh ar- 
my might not follow them without ruin. |
