and as soon as he saw him arrived, Miren resolved to return to Mabrshad-abad ; but he recommended to the Governor to put trusty guards on the outside of the Western gate of the city, and a body of English Talingas within, with orders to hinder Dilir-qhan, or his people, from getting admittance. At the same time he embarked in his boats, and went thirty or forty cosses down the river ; after which he continued his route by land. Dilir-qhan finding himself deceived, was at a loss what to do, especially as Ram-narain took care to exculpate himself, by informing him that he had no orders about his arrears, and that it was better for him to quit the city, and to abstain from coming within the walls. Dilir-qhan himself, sensible that all was lost, quitted the environs of Azim-abad, and with his friends and soldiers, he went towards Ticary, where he was entertained in the service of the two Zemindars, Fateh-sing and Buniad-sing, who were sons to Radja Sunder-sing, and who gave him a pension, upon which he made a shift to subsist himself, and his men. He was so much esteemed, that the two Radjas thought themselves very much honoured by affording shelter to a Commander of that character. Some time after, Fateh-sing repaired to M8rsh8d-abad to strengthen himself in his zemindary ; but his concerns were little minded, as Miren spent his time in all kinds of pleasures at M8rsh8d-abad, whilst Ram-narain did the same at Azim-abad.
