Including the advance under Captain Stewart, and a detachment of sixty rank and file left at Bellapoor, the army was composed of five hundred and ninety-one Europeans, two thousand two hundred and seventy-eight native infantry, and five hundred gun Lascars; the whole, officers included, amounted to three thousand nine hundred men. Preparations sufficient to have enabled the commanding officer to move from Panwell were not completed for several days; but the delay which afterwards took place in making roads, and in the observance of various formalities, was equally unnecessary and inexcusable. - [Previous: v2.c36.43](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c36.43) - [Next: v2.c36.45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c36.45) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c36.44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c36.44) · Pramāṇa
