After this was arranged, according to the advice and desire of the (Governor-General) council, a boy of five years of age, one of the lineal descen­dants of the former Rajahs of Mysore, was seated nominally on the Musnud of his hereditary claim to that territory in Mysore; and a country, the revenue of which amounted to thirty lakhs of pago­das,* was assigned to him under the prime ministry or guardianship of Poornia, and all the children and relations of the deceased Sultán, (many of whose ladies remained,) with Kurím Sáhib and his family were sent to Rai Vellore, and a liberal salary was allowed to each of the princes, and to the present time they still reside in the fort of Vellore.

The following is the list of the princes,—

Mohí uddín Sultán; Hydur Alí Sultán, known by the name of Futteh Hydur, this is the eldest of all the brethren; Abdul Khálik Sultán; Moiz uddín Sultán; Subhán Sáhib Sultán; Shúkur ulláh Sultán; Gholám Ahmud Sultán; Gholám Muhammad Sultán; Surwur uddín Sultán and Yasin Sáhib Sultán; with his two brothers, Jama uddín Sultán;* and Monír uddín Sultán. These with their women, families and followers, all reside together.

The mind of the General (Harris) being now perfectly at ease, he proceeded to Chitul Droog, and took possession of all the hill forts and strong­holds in that part of the country; and placing garrisons in some of them, he returned to Madras, and thence sailed for Europe, accompanied by Colonel Read, General Floyd, &c.

The countries of Gootti, Rutna Giri, Murkeisi, Hurpun Hulli, Ani Goondi, Punookoond, Murg­sura and other places were added to the territo­tories of the Nizám of Hydurabád for a time. After this, however, in the year 1215, Hijri, (A. D. 1800) they were given back in Tunkhwah to the English Government. (To defray the charges of a subsidiary force apparently.)

Mullik Jehán Khán (Dhoondia) who had escaped with only one horse, in a short time, by his own vigor­ous exertions increased in strength and reputation so much, that he collected together a body of twenty-five or thirty thousand horse and foot, and raised a great tumult in the country, situate between the Kishna and Tungbhudra Rivers, and Babur Jung, and others joined him. By the aid also of the chief of Kolapoor, during a sharp engagement, he in a furious charge, killed Gokla the Mahratta and Purusram the chief of Mirch, and having struck off their heads stuck them on the points of spears.

At length, however, it fell to his lot to be opposed to the English troops, and after much hard marching and fighting day and night, during which time no decisive action was fought, (although in this period his successes were great and he obtained much spoil,) still as he had no fort or strong­hold in his possession to which he could retire and deposit his stores and followers, and by that means compete with the English on fair ground; after a hard struggle for two years from the treachery of the Afghans of Kirpa and Kurnole, he received such a defeat from the English troops (under the command of the Hon. Colonel Sir Arthur Wellesley) in the neighbourhood of Kotal Bhanawur,* (called Konahgull by Mr. Thornton) that with the exception of his name and fame, no memorial of him whatever has remained.

Kumr uddín Khán for a time exerted himself in a vain desire to obtain a government, but at length a fatal disease, too terrible to be described, seized him and he died in great agonies. Many of the Sul­tán’s Sirdárs or officers, however, such as Budruz­zumán Khán, Gholám alí Khán the elchee or envoy; Muhammad Ruza Khutíb; certain of the Mír Mírán and Sipahdárs; the brethren of Boor­hunuddín, that is the sons of Lala Meean; Gho­lám Alí Bukshi, Gundahchar, &c. receive liberal salaries from the English East India Company, according to their respective claims. A thousand praises are due to their courage and constancy.*

In the year 1215, Hijri, Hydur Alí the son of Kurím Sáhib (the son of Nawáb Hydur Alí) made his escape from the English and joined the Mah­rattas.
