The rainy season being already set in, and the Marhattas shewing a willingness to abide that season in the Afghan country, the Vezir, in reward for the services they had per­formed, gave them the whole country from Nevol and Djalisser down to Feroh-abad and Cannodje. Such a donation finished the Afghans. Finding that nothing less than their total ruin was intended, they betook themselves to the humblest supplications; and turning the Marhattas and some other Generals into media­tors, they redeemed their lives from the Vezir’s resentment. An accommodation took place, such as the Vezir was pleased to dictate. The city of Feroh-abad, with its territory, a tract that yielded a revenue of sixteen lacs a year, was left, out of com­passion, to Ahmed-qhan and his family, as descendents of Mahmed-qhan-Rohillah. Some other Districts which had been held in sovereignty by Aaly-mahmed-Rohillah’s family, were like­wise left them, but under the stipulated promise of a full rent; and some others were confiscated. But the greatest part of those countries was given up to the Marhattas. The Vezir after this treaty, went to his Government of A8d, and continued advancing as far as Banares, where he had much business to transact; and there as Pertiput, the Zemindar of Partab-gur, a Gentoo Prince of that neighbourhood, who had been in strict connections with the Afghans, ventured to pay him his respects, he was immediately put to death by Aaly-beg-qhan, the Vezir’s head Nissiqhchi, who had orders to cut off his head. It is now time to return towards the interior parts of the Empire.
