(Oct. 27.)—The principal powers having been thus secured, the English having also expressed their approbation of Bajee Rao’s being elevated to the musnud, Sindia, on the 27th October, arrested Balloba Tattya, and sent a body of his troops, accompanied by some of those of Musheer Ool Moolk, both parties under the direction of Naroo Punt Chuckurdeo, for the purpose of seizing Pures hram Bhow. Naroo Punt, however, being desirous of apprising one of his associates, named Pures hram Punt Wydh, wrote him a note, which was carried by mistake to Pures hram Bhow Putwurdhun; the latter on reading it instantly got ready a body of horse, and having taken with him Chimnajee Appa, fled with precipitation to Sewneree; but he was quickly pursued and compelled to surrender. Anund Rao Rastia having become security for his safe custody, he was delivered over to his charge.
