v4.c53.s3.16

∗ "The long arrears of pay due to the army and no prospect of a speedy relief from the present leading sardārs, together with a personal regard for the late commander, are beginning to work a disposition in the soldiers (of the Jhari fauj) to baffle the loyal endeavours of Harji Sindhia." "Distrust and dislike of (Daulat Rao) Sindhia so generally prevail among his subjects in Hindustan that he is now left with scarce one attached leader of distinction in either of his Marātha armies in his northern dominions." Resident to Governor-General, 3 Aug. and 14 Aug. 1798. (P.R.C. viii. 74 & 75.) The release of the two Generals was "effected by means of the commandants of three corps of infantry and of the artillery department." Ibid. 76.
