fervants, and that this flame being blown by a few zealots for plunder and booty, he was apt to think was one caufe of depriving him at that critical time of the fervice of Lieutenant Colonels Macleod and Humberton. He mentioned, in very concife terms, fome points of difference betwixt himfelf and Colonel Macleod, respecting a claim of rank, and the mode of fupplying his Majefty's troops. That the agents for the captors had been loud in their reprefentations of the fuppofed right of the army, and they and the officers had done every thing that was difrefpectful and injurious to him; which circumftances, fo contrary to good order and difcipline, could not fail to increase the fpirit for plunder in the foldiery, who, encouraged by the practice of officers, were become loofe and unfeeling as the most licentious freebooters.

The general farther faid, he fuppofed Colonel Macleod would deliver the papers on the fubject of these difputes, and called upon us to take measures to prevent fuch dangerous proceedings: that the troops in Bednure were almoft in a ftate of mutiny; the enemy collecting a force within thirty miles; the profpect of refettling the city every moment more diftant, owing to the dejection of the Jemautdar Hyat Saib; who, from the illiberal and indecent expreffions of officers, was filled with apprehenfions that made him utterly defpond, and rendered him incapable of any exertion.

Such was the accufation against the army, and fuch the materials afforded by the general as grounds upon which government were to take their measures in fo delicate and critical an emergency. Colonel Macleod had not delivered the papers, as fuppofed by the general: he had only, on his arrival, as mentioned in a former paragraph, given in a memorial, affigning his reafons for quitting the army, and ftating, with candour and moderation, the circumftances of his own rank and fervices, and the complaints of his Majefty's troops, which had rendered it impoffible for him to continue to ferve under command of Brigadier General Matthews. Thefe circumftances, as well as our refolutions in confequence, will be communicated by a future conveyance, only deeming it material to mention at prefent, that being of opinion the fervices of an officer of Colonel Macleod's ability and experience were abfolutely requifite at fo critical a period, we had made a request to him, on the 7th of March, to continue to ferve on this coaft until we could receive the determination of the Governor General and Council, or General Coote, regarding his cafe; giving him affurances, that we would endeavour in the mean time to place him on a footing that might be fatisfactory, in any practicable manner he could point out.

Colonel Macleod fhewed a readiness in complying with our request that entitled him to every mark of attention from the Company. He recalled to our attention his difficulties in ferving with General Matthews; ftill, however, offering to ferve wherever and in whatever fhape we might command; but in order to avoid all difputes telating to King's and Company's troops, and to en

able him to ferve with more efficacy, he fuggefted the neceflity of our beftowing Company's rank upon him.

In confequence of the general's reference, we called upon Colonel Macleod the 18th of March, for the papers alluded to; who, in return, demanded from our juftice an extract of the general's letter, in which thofe difputes on his conduct were mentioned.

Colonel Macleod being furnished with the defired extract, delivered the papers required, accompanied with a letter from himself in vindication of his own character, and of the other officers involved in one general accufation. Thefe papers are of too great length to be fent by an over-land difpatch; but they contain imputations against the general of a very ferious nature, and fupported by strong teftimony.

Our want of information from GeneralMatthews laid us under a neceffity of applying to Colonel Macleod to furnish us with a detail of the operations of the army from their leaving Cundapore to the furrender of Bednure, and any information he could afford refpecting the nature of the treaty with Hyat Saib, and the proceedings in confequence.

Colonel Macleod in confequence fent in the journals kept by himself and Colonel Humberfton, and gave us all the information in his power relative to the furrender of Bednure and the treaty with Hyat Saib. When the refpective details of these gentlemen and General Matthews of the fame event fhall come before you, you will doubtlefs make due comparifon.

We are informed that the general, notwithftanding the capitulation, immediately on getting poffeffion of Bednure, confined Hyat Saib a clofe prifoner, and that many bad confequences refulted from the alarm and impreffion given by this proceeding. That very great treasures were found in the Durbar, amounting to 14 lacks and upwards, befides much other treasure and jewels not expofed, which were at first publicly fhewn to the officers by the general, and declared to be the property of the army. That the breach between the general and Hyat Saib was foon after made up; and, in a few days, the army were aftonifhed to hear that Hyat Saib had claimed all this money, which evidently belonged to the government of the country, as his private property, and that the general had restored it to him on that plea. Colonel Macleod had been detached at this time; but this tranfaction reviving a difcontent and fufpicion, occafioned by a former affair at Onore, fome of the other principal officers were carried to Hyat Saib by the general, who prevailed upon him to make a donation to the army of half a lack of pagodas.

We took the general's conduct and the state of the army under confideration on the 27th of March, and now tranfmit a copy of our proceed ings on this very difficult and disagreeable occafion.

Feeling the ftrongest conviction that the fervice could not profper in his hands, we thought it our indifpenfable duty not to continue him any longer in command of the army in the Bednure country;

and

and we accordingly came to a refolution to remove him therefrom, and to fufpend him from the Honourable Company's fervice, until he can clear up the feveral charges against him.

We appointed Lieutenant Colonel Macleod, of his Majesty's forces, the officer firit in rank upon this coaft, and who had distinguished himself by the defeat of Tippoo Saib, at l'anany, to fucceed General Matthews in the command of the army in the Bednure country; and we also defired Lieutenant Colonel Humberton and Major Shaw to rejoin the army.

We had fome days before, on the 17th of March, received advice from Mr. D. Anderfon, in a letter dated the 20th of February, of the Mahratta treaty having arrived from Poonah.

The peace had been duly proclaimed at BomDay, and every neceffary step taken on our part for the performance of the treaty. The Ranger had failed the 5th of April with Colonels Macleod and Humberton, Major Shaw, and other officers, to join the army. Lieutenant Pruen, the commander of the veffel, having been previously apprized of the peace, and furnished with the fame orders as had been circulated to all the marine, not to commit hoftilities against the Mahrattas; when on the 18th of April we were alarmed by an account given by a Lafcar, who had efcaped, that the Ranger had been attacked on the 8th, three days after leaving Bombay, by the Mahratta fleet, and after a most defperate refiftance of near five hours was obligea to fubmit to fuperior force, and, with the whole convoy of boats, had been carried into Gheriah.

We were under great anxiety and uncertainty, for a confiderable time, regarding the fate of Colonel Macleod and the other officers, which was not entirely removed till the 23d of May; when the prefident received a letter from him, dated at Gheriah the 5th of that month. In this letter the colonel mentions he had made feveral unfuccefsful attempts to convey advice of his misfortune; and then relates fome circumftances of the engagement, referring for a more particular account to Lieutenant Pruen. The account Colonel Macleod gives is, that on the morning of the Sth of April, they found themselves near the Mahratta fleet belonging to Gheriah; which, without fpeaking or ceremony, attacked the Ranger with great fury. Lieutenant Pruen fought his veffel with the greateft courage. Their defence was defperate, and ceafed not till they were almost all killed or wounded. Major Shaw was fhot dead; Colonel Humberton was fhot through the lungs; Lieutenant Stuart, of the 100th regiment, was almoft cut to pieces on boarding: Lieutenant John Taylor, of the Bombay troops, was fhot through the body; Lieutenant Seton, of the Bombay artillery, and Lieutenant Pruen, commander of the veffel, were wounded with fwords on boarding. In the beginning of the action, Colonel Macleod received two wounds in his left-hand and shoulder; and, a little before it was over, a mufquet-ball pafled through his body, which pierced his lungs and fpleen. Lieutenant Pruen's account likewife proves, that the Mahrattas began the attack, and that he received a number of fhot before he returned a gun. Their force confifted of two large hips, a ketch, and

eight gallivats, with which the Ranger, carrying only twelve guns twelve pounders, fuftained a clofe engagement of four hours and a half; and for the laft hour the two fhips and the ketch were lafhed along-fide of the Ranger, in which fituation the engagement was continued with muiquetry only; and the brave defence of the officers and crew prevented the enemy from entering the veff1, till, from the number of killed and wounded, and most of the mufquets being rendered unferviceable, the fire of the Ranger was fo much reduced, that the commander was under a necelity of ftriking; and the inftant the colours were down, the enemy rushed on board, and cruelly cut and wounded several of the officers and men, while others jumped overboard to avoid immediate death. The fame night the Ranger was carried into Gheriah, where the Subadar and officers difowned all knowledge of the peace, and refufed to releafe the veffet and officers without orders from Poonah.

We are concerned to add, that Colonel Humberfton died at Gheriah the 30th of April, of the wound he received in the action. Colonel Macleod's recovery was long thought impoffible, but he is now perfectly restored to health. Lieute nants Stuart, Taylor, Seton, and Pruen, are alfo recovered.

The Ranger, with Colonel Macleod and the other furviving officers, arrived here the 29th of May, having been releafed from Gheriah the 27th, in too difabled and defpoiled a condition to make her way to the fouthward.

Our last letter from Mr. Anderson is dated the 19th of May, upon receipt of the intelligence of the capture of the Ranger, which he immediately communicated to Mhadajee Scindia, and requir ed him in ftrong terms to give fome explanation with regard to this outrage, and the measures which he intended to purfue in vindication of his own honour, which was thus brought into queftion. Scindia declared, that none of his late letters from the minifter gave him the leaft reafon to apprehend any finifter intentions in the Mahratta government; and he affured Mr. Anderfor, that he had written in ftrong terms to the minifter to punish with death the perfon who committed this act of hoftility, and to make full reftitution of the ftores and effects taken; that if they complied with thefe requifitions he would undertake to reconcile the English government, but if they refufed, they must take the confequences: that, for his part, fince fo enormous an outrage had been committed after the conclufion of the treaty, he muft confult and adopt the inclinations of the English.

So far from punishing the officer who committed the act of hoftility, we are affured by Colonel Macleod that he received from the minister public marks of approbation and honorary rewards for his conduct. Colonel Macleod was invited to the ceremony held upon this occafion, and fome of the officers were actually prefent when the Subadar exhibited in public Durbar, according to the cuftom of the country, the honorary ornaments which had been fent to him from Poonah.

By this time matters to the fouthward had taken a very unfavourable turn. The latter end of April we received advice from the Select Com

mittee at Madras, in a letter dated the 12th of March, that Tippoo had sent the greateft part of his army out of the Carnatic through the Changamah País, and that they concluded he himself would foon follow, in order to use his utmost efforts to recover his valuable poffeffions in the Bednure country.

General Matthews fent repeated advice of the enemy's approach in force, and requifitions for reinforcement. Under the 20th of March, he writes from Mangalore of a body of 50,000 men, with 25 pieces of cannon, being to the eastward of Bednure, and that he should fet off for that place next day, when he said he might poffibly collect 1200 fepoys and 400 Europeans, with five pieces of cannon, to meet the enemy in the field. His next letter is dated the 27th, at Cundapore; in which he repeats his intelligence, and requests for a reinforcement, without which, he obferves, it will be next to a miracle if he can preferve his footing. He then mentions, as a certainty, that a very large force was arrived within 35 miles of Bednure. His next letter, and the laft we have received from him, was dated the Ift of April, at Bednure; and advised, that Tippoo Saib, with 1000 French, 12,000 horse, and as many infantry, with a few guns, was arrived within 45 miles, and purpofed pushing on without delay. We foon after received an account from Captain Matthews, the general's brother, dated at Cundapore, of a smart action having happened, in which the Company's troops gained confiderable advantage. This account was not diftinct, and only collected from the country people.

Our next accounts informed us of the lofs of the two pofts the general had established at the Gauts, by which the communication between Bednure and the fea-coaft was cut off. The principal poft, which had been reprefented as very ftrong, appears to have been loft, after a very flight defence, by the mifconduct of the officer in command. The fugitives who efcaped from the Gauts communicated fuch diforder and panic to the garrifon at Cundapore, that little elfe but an efcape was thought of; in attempting which, numbers of men and horfes were drowned. Large magazines of ftores and provifions, which were depofited at Cundapore, were immediately fet fire to in the confufion, and a large field of artillery difabled or left to the enemy, who, it is to be obferved, had not even made their appearance when this fhameful flight and deftruction of a poft, faid to be tenable, took place. A part of the garrifon escaped to Onore, which is under the command of Captain Torriano; who, by his refolute and prudent conduct, prevented the panic from infecting his garrifon, and made an effort to recover the poft at Cundapore, in which he did not fucceed.

Thefe accounts were foon followed by others ftill more unfavourable, of the lofs of Bednure, and that part of the army which was above the Gauts, under the command of General Matthews in perfon. The most authentic information we have received of this difafter is from Major Campbell at Mangalore; and the particulars given by him are as follow.The 12th of May, the InVOL. III.

trepid had hardly failed, when a fepoy arrived from Bednure with the diftreffing accounts of the general, after fix days employed in fettling articles of capitulation, having marched out of the fort the 3d inftant with his whole garrifon, with all the honours of war, in expectation of being allowed in the fame manner to come here; but, as naturally might be expected from an enemy by whom faith is fo feldom kept, the brave but unfortunate garrifon was no fooner got out of the gates, than they were furrounded by both horfe and foot, and forced to lay down their arms, and are now detained prifoners. The melancholy account is again confirmed by another perfon, a fepoy, who was alfo in Bednure fort when it was given up: he corroborates every part respecting it; both fepoys agree there was a confiderable quantity of water and provifions in the fort.

Under the 19th of May, Major Campbell writes I have nothing farther to add to my laft dispatches than a painful confirmation of the furrender of Bednure; the cause unknown: but the confequence is, that Tippoo Saib is now encamped with his whole army in our front; his rear is juft arrived; so that I expect an attack to-morrow morning. A Madras foldier has come in to us, and fays the number of the French Tippoo has with him does not exceed 300; the rest of his army not lefs than 100,000 fighting men.'

The force General Matthews had with him at Bednure, and the pofts above the Gauts, confifted of detachments of the 98th and 102d regiments, and of the 100th regiment of his Majesty's troops, the greater part of Bombay infantry, originally 300 rank and file, the 2d grenadier battalion of fepoys, and the 3d, 5th, 11th, and 15th battalions, except fome detachments from them and the Bombay Europeans, which were at Onore and other forts. According to Colonel Macleod's computation, (for we have no returns to guide us) our lofs in this unhappy affair amounts to about 6co Europeans, and 1600 fepoys. We before mentioned the force the general fuppofed he should be able to collect.

It was fome relief to us in this misfortune, and gave us confidence and hopes of retrieving it, that juft at this time we received advice, by the way of Baffora, of the preliminaries of a general peace having been figned at Paris the 20th of January.

There is ftill a very refpectable force remaining at Carwar, Onore, and Mangalore. We are apprehenfive for the fafety of Onoic in cafe it fhould be vigorously attacked; but trust the troops at Carwar and Mangalore will be preferved. At Carwar, and the pofts dependent, there is one battalion of fepoys; and at Mangalore, the 42d regiment, and fome fmall detachments from other regiments and Company's troops, amounting all together to about 400 men, betides artillery and upwards of four battalions of fepoys, giving, on a return dated the 8th of May, near 3000 men. There is alfo a fufficient ftock of provifions, and a number of able officers, in the place, which is under the command of Major Campbell; and we have ftrong hopes that the ftrength of the garrifon, and the approach of the munioon, will baffle the attempts of the enemy. 3 E

This

This force will prove a good foundation for a new army; and we truft, notwithstanding our late lofs, we fhall be able, with proper afliftance of money, and a body of European infantry, to renew and continue a powerful diverfon on this coaft (Malabar) against the dominions of Tippoo Saib. The peace in Europe, and with the Mahratta, will now enable this prefidency, without danger, to furnish a ftrong body of fepoys, and a refpectable detachment of artillery, in addition to thofe now to the fouthward.

Left you should not have received advice of the early return of the French fleet to the other coaft, and an account of their proceedings, we think it right to infert a paper tranfmitted to us by the felect committee at Madras, with their letter of the 12th of March; being intelligence given by Captain Light, whofe veflel had been made a prize of by M. Suffrein.

The French fleet, confifting of 11 fail of the ine, and the La Fine and Bellona frigates, left Acheen the 20th of December; the Hannibal and Bellona were fent to cruize off the Braces. The 6th of January, the fleet arrived at Ganjam; the 10th ditto, the Coventry was taken; he had fpoke with the Blandford that morning, who informed Captain Wolfefley, that in the night he had engaged a privateer. The Coventry feeing a fhip at anchor at Ganjam Roads, fuppofed it to be the privateer, and ran clofe in before the difcovered the rest of the fleet. On the 11th, the Blandford was taken by the Coventry. On the 18th, the Blake was taken by the Coventry. On the 20th and 21ft, three fmall veffels in ballaft were taken and funk.

We have not heard of any material captures made by the French fleet except the Coventry and Blandford.

We have the pleasure to acquaint you, that the eet under Vice-Admiral Hughes arrived at Madras the 13th of April. The admiral faw nothing of the French fleet in the paffage; and it seems doubtful whether they were to the northward or to the fouthward. The Bristol and her convoy arrived the 17th of April; and foon after, the Company's fhip Duke of Athol had the misfortune to blow up, by which a number of lives were loft. The Fairford was deftroyed by fire in this harbour on the 5th inftant, as you will be advifed by the board. The grand army had marched to the fouthward upon an expedition against Cuddalore. The fleet was at Madras the 30th of April, and, we understand, was foon to proceed to the fouthward, to co-operate with the army against Cuddalore.

We are much concerned to acquaint you, that we have private advice, that Lieutenant-General Sir Eyre Coote died at Madras the 26th of April, the day after his arrival from Bengal in the Refolution country ship.

Copy of a Letter from Mr. Hutchinfon, to the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors, Sc.

GENTLEMEN,

THE honourable the prefident of Bombay Having directed the commander of the Viper cut

ter, proceeding with dispatches for Baffora, to touch here for intelligence, I embrace the opportunity of acquainting you with the moft recent occurrences in the Carnatic which have come to my knowledge.

General Stuart, with a powerful army, was before Cuddalore, when information was received of a treaty of peace having been concluded at London the 9th of February, between the belligerent powers; in confequence of which, a ceffation of heftilities immediately took place. It is imagined the garrifon must have fhortly fubmitted, as we had fucceeded in the attack on their lines, and had carried their redoubts. In effect. ing this fervice, a very heavy lofs was fuftained on the part of the British forces, computed at 616 Europeans, and 356 fepoys, killed, wounded, and miffing. This happened on the 13th ult. On the 25th, the enemy made a fally from the fort, and advanced clofe up to our works, commencing and fupporting the affault with great fpirit and intrepidity; but they were repulfed, with the lofs of about 200 Europeans, and their colonel D'Aquitaine taken prifoner.

On or about the 20th ult. there was an engagement between the British and French fleets near Pondicherry; but I do not learn any decifive blow was ftruck by either fide. Monfieur Suffrein returned to Cuddalore; and Sir Edward Hughes is fuppofed to have stood on towards Madras, as it was reported he was in want of water, and his people were very fickly.

The fouthern army, acting in the Carnatic, under the command of Colonel Lang, had made an irruption into the Coimbature country, fub duing Caroor and Dindegul, when the colonel was recalled to join the grand army before Ceddalore, and Colonel Fullarton invefted with the command, who with great fpirit and activity had pushed on to Darampore, which fell to him the ift ult. He was then within fix days march only of Paliagacheri; towards which place his further progrefs was totally barred by an order from General Stuart to move back to Cuddalore. He is now on his return again to the Coimbature country, ftrongly reinforced.

A detachment of 300 Europeans, together with a fupply of powder and provifions, are fent from Madras to Mangalore in his Majefty's ships Briftol and Ifis. A farther reinforcement is destined for the fame part, with an intention of enabling Colonel Campbell to take the field, in cafe it fhould be expedient.

No accounts are yet received of the expected fleet, which was to have left England in January laft.

I have the honour to be, with the greatest refpect, Gentlemen, your faithful and obedient humble fervant, Anjengo, July 19, 1783.
