∗ Ambāji’s cowardly duplicity did not end with the battle of Laswari. On 16 Dec. he made a treaty agreeing to give up the fort of Gwalior to the English. But when a British detachment went to the place, its qiladar refused to yield it, and letters from Ambaji were intercepted in which he directed the garrison never to surrender to the English and promised them further supplies of men and money immediately.
