Ebrahim Cawn Gurry remains encampt near Selimon Cawn, and this morning we discourst his Braminy, and then showed him Selimon Cawn Gurry's two Letters, in both which he blamed Selimon Cawn; to which the Braminy answerd, that Selimon Cawn gave his Master a different representation of that matter; That his people came into Cuddalore with the Kings treasure, that our Souldiers were abusive to them, killd and wounded them, &ca. We told the Braminy that Ebrahim Cawn Gurry knew that it was quite otherwise, and himself knew so too, but he said that he must discourse as ordered, and that Ebrahim Cawn Gurry as Mediator to make Peace between Selimon Cawn and us, desired three things, vizt.: 1st. Sending the body of Selimon Cawns brother in Law: 2d. The delivery of 5 Prisoners that were taken in the skirmish at Cuddalore, who had their dependance on him, one a Faukeer, the other Horsekeepers and of as little account: The 3d proposition was to give Selimon Cawn a sum of money; and then he would be gone: We did not hesitate to grant the two first, but sent the 5 prisoners with his Braminy, and the Corps being found yesterday by Mollems people, we ordered to be sent to the Fort, and from thence they might receive it; the Braminy prest our sending of it, which we refused, and plainly told him, that no man had security in going near a man of Selimon Cawns temper.
