Hedaiet-aali-qhan having answered according to the propriety of the case, and the dignity of the two speakers, went home; and sending for his younger brother, Mehdi-nessar-qhan, Paymaster-General of the forces, and for the several Commanders with all the army-agents, he took upon himself the payment of their arrears ; but obtained their promises that they would stand by their Governor in these times of difficulty, and would follow him in his expedition to Bengal.
