This conduct made the Maráthás eager to make common cause with the other states that had suffered by Tipu's violence and perfidy; and in A.D. 1789 an offensive alliance against him was concluded between the English, the Nizám, and the Peshwa. The Marátha force was placed under the charge of Parsharám Bháu Patvardhan, who went to his jáhgir at Tásgaon to make arrangements. He was joined here by two British battalions under Captain Little, which had landed at Sangameshvar and marched up the Amba pass; and after some vexatious delay the combined English and Marátha force crossed the Krishna. As they proceeded they had little difficulty in expelling Tipu's soldiery, but their progress was checked when they arrived before Dhárwár, the garrison of which had been reinforced. The siege began on the 18th of September, and the British portion of the force soon attacked and took the town, but little further progress was made. The English had no battering train, and the Marátha artillery was poor, badly served, and ill-supplied with ammunition. The besieging force was reinforced by a battalion of Europeans and a native corps under Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick, but as no additional artillery was sent the siege languished, until, at last, a lodgment having been effected by the English and Maráthás on the crest of the glacis, the garrison capitulated on the 4th of April 1790. Shortly afterwards Kopál was taken by the Nizám's troops, Kushgal and other places also fell into the hands of the confederates, so that the whole of the Southern Marátha Country was taken from Tipu. By the treaty made at Saringapatan in 1792 the Maráthás were confirmed in their possession of this territory, and Dhondo Pant Gokhalé was made sar-subhedár of the southern portion, most of the districts however falling into the hands of Parsharám Bháu, who had been obliged to raise troops largely in excess of the number for which the Patvardhans' saranjám had been assigned. - [Previous: c11.111](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.111) - [Next: c11.113](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.113) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.112](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.112) · Pramāṇa
