Bourquien called upon Drugeon, the qiladār to deliver to him the palace and the treasure in it. The honest Savoyard refused, and then Bourquien planting a battery of six guns began to bombard the Red Fort (9th Sept.). The Emperor, in fear of this second Ghulām Qādir at his gate, sent off a messenger to Lake informing him of the disorder among the troops in Delhi and begging him to come to his rescue.
