After the murder of Nadir Shah in his camp at Couchan in June, 1747, and the consequent break-up of the empire 111 had nearly consolidated, Ahmed Khan Suddozye chieftaia of the great Abdallie family, and one of Nadir's favourite and most distin guished generals, made himself master of the de ceased monarch's treasures ' equipped a body of the veteran troops, who had fought under his banner through all the recent conquests, established himself as the bead of the Affghan nation, caused himself to be crowned at Candahar, and assumed the title of Dooree D (the pearl of the age), which led to the cban°a of name from Abdallies to Dooranies. Ahmed Shah reigned twenty-six years, a period spent in constant activity and warfare, during which he carried his arms into the heart of Turkestan and India, the latter of which he invaded no less than seven times, and on one occasion totally defeated the great Mahratta confederacy on the field of Panniput in 1761 ; his constitution, however, sank at last under continued fatigue and excitement, and he died at Murga, in the Atchukzye country, in June 1773, in the fiftieth year of his age. Ile was succeeded by his son Timeor Shah, though net,without some fruit- 1 less opposition on the part of his brother Abdul Khalak at Ghuznee. Timoor Shah had not the energy or ability to fol-. low in the successful steps of his father, or to conso lidate the conquests of the former reign; but though the power of the Dooranies became stationary, it was not actually diminished during his career ; the seeds were, however, sown of that disorder and decay which progressed with rapid strides during the reigns of his successors. His greatest merit was the atten tion he paid to the finances of the country and the economy with which he employed them; this secured him a full treasury, and was the secret of his mainte mance of his power so long. The most remarkable act of his reign was the transfer of the scat of Go vernment from Candahar to Caubul ; at which latter city he died in May, 1793, at the age of 47, having reigned twenty years. He left a numerous family, of whom the following only have appeared on the page of history; viz., Humayoon, the eldest, by one wife ; Shah Zeman and Shah Shoojah by another and: favourite wife; and Shah Mahmood, Feroze-00-deen, Abbas and Eyoob, by other and d'fferent wives. On Timoor 's death, a powerful faction headed by his favourite Queen and supported by Poyndah Khan, the head of the Barukzye family, who during the pre vious reign, had for his conduct in an action at Mool tan, received the title of Sirifraz Khan, placed Shah Zeman upßn the throne, at Caubul; llumayoon the elder brother, proclaimed himself King at Candahar ; Mahmood was ruler at Herat, his brother Feroze being with him, and Prince Abbas held the same office at Peshawur. Zeman Khan dispatched his Vuzeer Wuffadar Khan Suddozye with an army against Candahar Humayoon was defeated, and being de serted by his troops, was compelled to flight; after a year of precarious wandering, he made another at tempt, was seized, blinded, and placed in confinement, in which he continued until his death. Mahmood at first tendered his submission, which was accepted and he was allowed to retain his G o vernment; but as soon as he could muster sufficient force, he threw off the mask and openly rebelled, he was however defeated by Shah Zeman on the Ilelmund in 1794; be made two other unsuccessful attempts fcr the throne in 97 and 99, and finally took refuge at the Court of• Persia. Feroze-00-deen made the pilgrimage to Mecca, and thus acquired the title of Hadjee Feroze, by which he was generally designated. Prince Abbas, in whose favour an unavailing attempt was made, was seized at Peshawur, and that province secured by Shah Zeman. This Prince was now firmly a s ci esta blisheduan in the Government, which he might have maintained intact and independent, had he not wasted his power and resources, n (fered the treasures his father's economy had accumu lated, in fruitless invasions of India, a conquest of which seemed to be the darling object of his ambition, and to which he appears to have been incited and en couraged by his Vuzeer. In 1796 he assembled a force of 30,000 men, with this avowed intention, which created considerable alarm throughout India, and even led the British Government to consider it necessary to adopt precautionary measures to meet such a contingency. Shah Zeman penetrated into the Punjaub three se veral times, in 1795, 1797, and 1798, and on each occasion ivas recalled to his own dominions by the rumour of Persian invasion or of domestic rebellion : on the last occasion he appointed Runjeet Singh his viceroy at Lahore. The internal arrangements of the Government were left almost entirely to the Vuzeer, whose character rendered him unworthy of such a trust : he was in solent and rapacious, and at the same time was weak and incapable, his main i n fl u e nce w ith Shah Zeman appears to have been owing to hi s b e l o nging to the same family, and being, more over , an ex p e rt flatterer. A. strong feeling of enmity was excited against him, and a conspiracy was formed at Candahar in 1799, amongst some of the leading nobles of the Court, to assassinate him, and to depose the Shah in favour of his brother, Shoojah-001-Moolk. The plot was dis covered, and Shah Zeman put six of the Chiefs to death, amongst whom was Poyndah Khan, the head of the Barukzye family, to whom he was in debted for his throne. This fatal act lost him . his crown, and caused the feud between the Barukzyes and Sud -, dozyes, to which may be traced all the subsequent evils and misery that have fallen on this distracted country. Futteh Khan, the eldest son of Poyndah Khan suc ceeded to the chiefship of the Barukzyes, on the death of his father; he was a man of great ability, and in domitable energy, was ambitious, and had a father's death to avenge ; he immediately set off for Tubbus, and joined Mahmood , Shah Zeman's younger brother, who, dependent on the ineffectual aid of Futtee Alice Shah of Persia, had recently failed in an attempt on Herat, which was defended by Prince Kyser, the son of Shah &Man. Futteh Khan th en brouglit Mah mood to his paternal castle of Girishk on the Helmand, in Zemindewar, situated in the centre of the Dooranie influence; all the Barukzyes, as well asby here he ryaso olaukzy j e in sa ed by ndAlizyes, who flocked to Mahmood's standard : and when a sufficient force was was won b'y a stratagem on obtained, they advanced to Candahar which, after an at Pesha wur, prepar i ng f or i atz n hne v eom e t p s ha t ane m : o n , raf t , vs ao;fs, at otntt forty eh ohi fs Khanma ye witho u t bl oo d s h e d . Sh a h India, which thi s even t of course s compelled him to lay aside. He dispatched a force of 15 Sydaul Khan, Aleckhozye , had declared in favour of 11;1a7m 0 oo men d; he also left eat Peshawur, together ' to Cashmere, the governor of which, with the Crown jewels and considerable treasure, and a fre other property, under charge of his brother, Shah Shoojah, and proceeded himself to meet Mahmood: the severity he had displayed to the conspirators had alienated many families from his cause, but the un popularity of his Vuzeer was the great detriment to his interests : after some vain and weak attempts of the latter, to treat with the rebels, the Shah advanced towards Candahar with 30,000 men, but no sooner had they neared the enemy at Mukud, than the royal vanguard went over to Futteh Khan. Shah Zeman now gave up all for lost, and, accompanied by his Vuzeer, fled to Caubul: meeting there with but little sympathy or support, and closely pursued by Futteh Khan, he continued his flight into the Shinwarrie, country, where he took refuge with one Moolah Ashik, at Pesh Bolak, who, contrary to every prin ciple of Affghan faith and honour, violated the sacred laws of hospitality, and gave him up to Mahmood, who caused his•eyes to be put out, and confined him in the Bala Hissar. The Vuzeer was slain by Futteh Khan, as an atonement for the blood of his father, and his body exposed to great indignities. On the defeat of his brother, Shah Soojah, who was still at Peshawur, proclaimed himself King, and prepared for a contest for the throne : .by means of a liberal distribution of the treasures at his command, he shortly raised a considerable force, composed of the Berdooranies, Khyburies, Enzufzyes, and other neighbouring tribes, with which he advanced towards Caubul in s ep t em . ber, 1801. On the 10th of that month, he was met on the way at Esphan by . Futteh Khan, with 3,000 rnen, where, although his; own force amounted to 10,000 men, and was at first successful, he was at laat totally defeated with the loss of all his baggage and treasure, and with difficulty effTeted his escape into the Khyber hills, where he took refuge, at Teem, with a Chief, named Mahommud Anieen Khan. Prince Kyser had been left in charge of Herat by his father, after whose defeat Hadjee Feroze came there and obtained possession of the place, through the in trigues of Kyser's Minister ; in the government of which he was confirmed by Mahmood, whi) appointed his eldest son Kamran to the charge of Candahar. Mahmood was now real or acknowledged master of every part of the empire, and all opposition was put down, through the talent and activity of Futteh Khan and Alumni Khan Alizye, a faithful follower of Mah• mood's worst fortunes. These two nobles managed all public affairs, at first in concert, but they soon quarrelled, and their dissensions weakened the power of the State and harra,ssed the people, who had so eagerly sought to relieve themselves by change from the oppressions of the Vuzeer Wuffadar Khan, only to find themselves subject to two rival masters, i and placed at the mercy o f a di s o r d er ly so ldi er y, ' whose excesses were winked at, that their attachment might be the better secured by those who required their service. Mahmood gave himself up entirely to indolence and enjoyment, and became perfectly in different to the administration of public affairs. At this time a serious insurrection broke out amongst the Ghilzees, who proclaimed Abdool Raheen Khan, the representative of their ancient Royal Family, as monarch; after a severe struggle and several hard fought actions during the years 1801 and 1802, they were at last subdued. In the meantime Akram Khan Alizye died, but his place was speedily occupied by a still more formidable rival to the power and influence of Futteh Khan. This was Shere Mahommud Khan, commonly called the Mooklityar-00-Dowlah ; he was the son of Shah Wullee Khan, Vuzeer to Ahmed Shah, to which high office he considered himself to have an hereditary claim, and not altogether without reason, according to the custom of the country and former precedents. A struggle now ensued between him and Futteh Khan for the chief power. Mahmood retained the former about his own person, and dis patched Futteh Khan to Candahar, to assist his son Katnran in the government of that province. Soon after this a serious disturbance broke out between the Soonee, inhabitants of Caubul and the Kuzzil bashes or Golam-i-Shah's who were all Sheah's ; a tumult occurred and -the flame of popular 1 feeling was sedulously fanned by Meer Wacz, a Syud of great repute for sanctity, and who i possessed immense influence over the people. lie was ' a staunch friend and partizan of the Mookhtyar-oo- Dowlah, under whose instructions, or rather in con cert with whom he acted on this occasion. The Kuz zilbashes forming the King's body guard naturally found favour with the monarch ; a petition was, how ever, formally submitted to Shah Mahmood, to cause retribution to be made on them, for the murder of a Soonee boy by some of their body, to which the King turned a deaf ear ; this was the signal for a revolt, Meer Waez raised the whole Soonee population with the cry of a religious liar, besieged Mahmood in the Bala llissar, proclaimed Shoojah-00-Moolk as king, and the Mookhtyar-00-Dowlah proceeded in person to meet the new Monarch and bring him into Caubul with due honour. During this period Shah Sboojah had been leading a wandering and precarious, but far from an inactive life, exerting every means in his power to recover his lost position: within the year, after his defeat at Isphan, he managed to get together a small force of Khyberies, and made an attempt upon Peshawur, but was repulsed with heavy loss and compelled again to take refuge in the fastnesses of the hills :—here he re mained for some time, until the arrival of Futtch Khan with a force at Peshawur rendered his position somewhat unsafe, when he retired farther south, and took refuge in the mountainous tracts inhabited by the Kakur tribes, where he wandered about for s ome time, subsisting limself and followers by the sale of his jewels, and indebted to the casual hospitality of the chiefs of these wild districts. In this miserable plight he found himself in the winter of 1802, in the province of Shawl, when a Kafilah of some value fell into his way ; the opportu nity was too tempting to be resisted ; he surrounded it with his few followers, when the merchants surren dered their property to the amount of about three lackhs, receiving bills far the amount in Shah Shoo jah's name, payable when brighter prospects should dawn upon him. This prize enabled him raise and equip a fresh body of troops, with which hWadvanced to Candahar; he was, however, again defeated,' his army broken and dispersed, and he himself driven, for the third time, to seek refuge amongst the Khyber Hills. In this condition he was found when he received the invitation to return to Caubul, an offer with which he of course gladly closed : as he advanced, he was met by the Mookhtyar,oo-Dowlah, who from the first appears to have been well inclined to his interests, and with an increasing force they advanced together to the capital. Here they found Shah Mahmood closely invested by the popula ce in th e B a l a Hissar, and learned that Futteh Khan was rapidly approach ing with a considerable force to his relief; Shah Shoojah moved out to meet him, and on the 12th of July, 1803, a severe action was fought. about eight miles from Caubul. Futteh Khan in the commencement of the battle was successful, but the defection of one of his princi pal chiefs threw his army into confusion and turned the day against him, and notwithstanding every exer tion on his part to retrieve this disaster, he was com pelled at last to seek safety in flight. The following day Shah Shoojah entered the city in triumph, the gates of the Bala Hissar were thrown open, and Mah mood, deserted by all his followers and dependents, was made a prisoner. It is pleasing to have to record amidst this narrative of strife, revenge, and cruelty, that Mahmood's eyes were spared at, the intercession of Shah Zeman, whom he had himself deprived of sight. Shah Shoojah's exercise of authority on regaining the throne was ex ceedingly moderate; the only execution that took place, being that of the Moolah Ashik who had so treacherously betrayed Zeman Khan into the hands of Mahmood. Futteh Khan after his defeat hastened to Kamran at Candahar, but being unable to make head against a strong force sent to oppose them the Prince repaired to )'urrah, and the ex-Vuzeer ten dered his submission and services to the new mo narch; the former was, but the latter was not ac cepted, and Futteh Khan retired to his family estate at Girishk. Prince Kyser, son of Shah Zeman, was appointed to the Government of Candahar, and Hadjee , Firoze was allowed to retain that cf Herat. Shah Shoojah's policy, though conciliatory, was vigorous ; he applied himself immediately to the reduction of all the rebellious or turbulent provinces, and brought them into subjection, and essayed to restore the Government to its former state of efficiency and order, which had been so seriously impaired during the recent struggles and the short but ruinous career of his predecessor on the throne. During his misfortunes and wanderings, the Monarch had fallen under numerous and heavy obligations to various parties, who now surrounded him, expectant and clamorous for reward, and being naturally of a liberal and grateful disposition, he soon found his means fall short of his desire to gratify all claimants, and the result was that his finances were reduced, umbrage was given, and disappointment caused to many who considered themselves neglected or inadequately rewarded. A considerable portion of the revenues of Peshawur was made over to those . Khyber chiefs with whom he had so often found re fuge, and numerous large grants of land were made to these Dooranee chiefs who had adhered to, or be friended him during his exile. The Mookhtyar-oo • Dowlah was appointed Vuzeer, and received numer ous other favours, but his services were of that nature which it was difficult satisfactorily to repay, and while he probably felt that not enough had been done, the Shah may have imagined that too much was demanded. Certain it is, that a coolness gradually arose between the two, and there were not wanting parties who found it to their interest to widen the breach. In 1805, Shah. Shoojah received an embassy at Peshawur from the King of Bokhara, proposing terms of friendship and family alliance, which were ac cepted. He was now about to turn his thoughts towards Cashmere, which still remained in rebellion, when his attention was imperatively called to Can dahar, where Futteh Khan had recommenced his intrigues, and enabled Kamran to eject Prince Kuser. Shah Shoojah marched in person against the rebels who were supported by six thousand men from Herat, under the command of Prince Mullick Cossim, sou of Hadjee Feroze; a threatened invasion from Persia caused• the latter to return, and Futteh Khan, after attempting to form a party by siding with Prince Kyser and placing him on the throne, again tendered his submission to Shah Shoojah, which was accepted, and Kamran, defeated and deserted, fled to Furrah. • Futteh Khan remained at Court for some time, but subsequently retired in disgust. About this period, a Persian army advanced from Meshed, and defeated Hadjee Feroze's forces in a desperate action at Shikkeewan ; but they were subsequently bought off by the payment of a small sum of money. Shah Shoojah previously exacted a considerable sum from the Ameers of Scinde, through which province he marched from Candahar, and proceeded up by the eastern districts from Peshawur: here he equipped a force, which he sent under the command of the Mookhtyar•oo-Dowlah into Cashmere, now the only province held that 'held out against him. This go vernment was then held by a chief named Abdoolah Khan. After an obstinate resistance, and various suc cesses, the Shah's army gained the advantage, and Abdoolah Khan, who had held out in one of his forts for two months, at last destroyed himself by poison, when the fort was surrendered, and the whole province reduced to subjection during the year 1806. The Mookhtvar-00-Dowlah having completed this conquest, and feeling that his presence was required in Affghanistan, left his son, Atta Mahommud Khan, in charge of the government, and returned to Caubul.' In the meantime Shah Shoojah whose jealousy of the Mookhtyar-00-Dovviail daily ipereased, had ap pointed Akram Khan Baumezye as his Vuzeer, and was at the time of Shere Mahommud's return, en gaged in a descent upon Scinde. The Mookhtyar-00-Dow•lah enraged at this super cession, and perceiving that his influence with Shah Shoojah was passed for ever, collected a large force, of which he placed himself at the head, and proclaimed Prince Kyser, Shah Zeman's son, as King. This intelli gence reached Shah Shoojah in Scinde ; who promptly moved up via Derajat to Peshawur, which he secured, and made his preparations for the struggle. Shere Mahommed and Prince Kyser arrived in the neigh bourhood soon afterwards, and offered him battle ; an obstinate encounter took place, which ended in the total defeat of the enemy. Prince Kyser fled frcm the field, and the Mookhtyar-00-Dowlah was slain: his head was borne on a spear behind the Shah when he made his triumphal entry into Peshawur: this ac tion was fought on the 3d of March, 1808. As soon as the Meer Waez, who had remained at Caubul, heard of the death of his friend the Mookhty ar-00-Dowlah, he released all the princes of the blood who were in confinement there. The Shah marched Ron Caubul, when the Me e r Wae z an d P r i nce yser fled to the Kohistan, but the Prince soon came in and was freely pardoned—the Shah then moved towards Candahar, where Mahmood having been joined by Futteh Khan, was again in force, when an action ensued which ended in favour of Shah Shoojah, who once more made himself master of Candahar. Prom this place he sent orders to have the Meer Waez put to death, which was done accordingly. Ile then made another descent upon Scinde from which he raised a further contribution and returned to Peshaw ur in January, 1809. Atta Mahommud Khan who had been left Governor in Cashmere, had, to revenge his father's death, raised the standard of rebellion in that province ; the Shah now dispatched his Vuzeer A kram Khan Baumezye against him. Akram Khan was a man of undaunted courage and unswerving fidelity, but he was at the same time arrogant and haughty and avaricious to a degree. In' .the month of February, Mr. Elphinstone's mission arrived at .Peshawur, deputed by Lord Minto, then Governor-General, to arrange terms on the part of the British Government, and was very favourably re ceived by the Shah. In April following, news arrived of the total defeat of the Vuzeer in Cashmere and the destruction of the force employed in that expedi tion, and shortly afterwards the Vuzeer himself arrived with the miserable wreck of the army not ex ceeding 2,000 men ; at the same time intelligence was received that Mahmood, supported by the inde fatigable Futteh Khan, had again assembled a -large force and made himself master, first of Candahar, and ultimately of Caubul. The Shah's affairs were now rendered very embarrassing : the Cashmere expedi tion had drained his resources of men and money, enemies were springing up in all qnarters, and a super stitious feeling existed, which tended materially to dispirit his party, and weaken his cause, that his mis fortunes were a judgment upon him for putting to death the holy Syud, Mecr Waez. Notwithstanding all this, the Shah and his Vuzeer manfully met the coming storm and managed with considerable exer tion to equip a force of about 15,000 men, with which they boldly marched to meet the enemy in the month of June;. the British mission having taken its depar ture a few days previously. They advanced through the mountain defiles, until they reached Neemla, a little beyond Jellalabad, when the advanced guard was suddenly encountered by Futteh Khan with be tween two and three thousand men, and driven back, a panic spread, and the whole army was beaten in de tail ; the Shah and his Vuzeer were marching in the rear at the time, when intelligence was brought of the attack ; the latter having his armour on, galloped to the front, and endeavoured to retrieve the da y ; but he arrived too late, the troops were ahead) , dis persed and flying in all directions, and after a gallant but unavailing resistance he fell sword in hand, fairly borne down by numbers. The Shah finding all was lost, fled over the hills to Hesarik. Mustering his few remaining followers, and perceiving that Mahmood and Futteh Khan had; returned to Caubul, he pushed across the mountains by the direct road to Candahar. Previously to marching from Peshawur, having, perhaps, a presentiment of defeat, he had sent all his family for safety to Rawul Pindee. At Candahar a strong party was already formed against Mahmood, or rather against Futteh Khan, , consisting of all the Chiefs of tfie Noorzye tribe, who burned to revenge the death of Meer Allum Khan Noorzye, who had been slain some mon th s previously by utteli Khan, in atonement for certain indignities offered to the latter by the Noorzye Chief when formerly in his power. At the head of this party was Abdoolah Khan, father of the murdered chief, together with Yehyah Khan Baumezye, brother to the late Vuzeer Akram Khan, Sauloo Khan Ishakzye, and several other Dooranie chiefs of note. Feeling themselves sufficiently strong they advanced upon Candahar, where they were joined by Prince Eyoob, who had been left in charge of that Govern ment by hikbrother Mahmood. Supported by this powerful party, Shah Shoojah now found himself once more at the head of a well' equipped and nume rous force ; Futteh Khan had, however, already ad vanced to meet them, and an action took place near Candahar, in the very commencement of which Sauloo Khan Ishalaye went over to the side of Mahmood, and Futteh Khan, taking advantage of the confusion and surprise caused by this desertion, charged impetuously at the head of his whole force and put the Shah's army completely •to the rt ute. The unfortunate monarch was again forced to become a fugitive, and proceeding southward with a handful of followers, he crossed the Indus at Bukkur, and finally rejoined his family at Rawul Pindee, where he arrived-in the beginning of February, 1810. Shortly after his arrival at Rawul Pindee, Shah Shoojah had an interview with Runjeet Singh, who treated him with marked attention and respect; at the same time Attah Mahommud Khan, the CTovernor of Cashmere, who had every thing to dread from the ambition and energy of Futteh Khan, deputed his brother, Jandad Khan, to the Shah, and agreed to assist him with money and troops; receiving as an equivalent, the cession of the important fortress of Attock. Towards the end of March, Shah Shoojah accordingly once more advanced towards Peshawur; Mahommud Azeem Khan, Futteh Khan's brother, who had been appointed Governor there, on the part of Mahmood, .evacuated the place on the Shah's ap proach :—the means of the latter were however too limited for such an undertaking, he was unable to advance beyond Peshawur, of which he held posses sion, until the following September, when Azeem Khan returning with a stron g force, arove again beyond the Indus. He made another attempt in the month of December, 1811 ; but suffered a severe defeat at Akora, and was at last fain to rejoin his family at Rawul Pindee. He was not destined to remain quiet even here, for in the beginning of 1812, he was persuaded to visit Atta Mahommud Khan, upon that Chief's invitation, who, notwithstanding the assistance previously rendered, treacherously seized him and kept him in confinement, in revenge for the death of his father, the Alooklityar-00-Dowlah. His treatment at this period was of the most trying and ' painful character. At first he was confined in the fortress of Attock, the lancet was frequently held to his eyes, and on one occasion he was taken into the middle of the Indus, with his hands bound, and threat ened with immediate death—the object of all this se verity being , to extract from him the celebrated dia mond, the Koh-i-noor, or Mountain of Light, which he was known to possess. His firmness and deter mination however prevailed, and Atta Mahommud having proceeded to Cashmere, carried him a captive in his train. From this state of durance, he was shortly released, and that through the means of a party from whom he could scarcely have looked t'or such a benefit. One of the first objects with Futteh Khan, after having established Mah mood securely on the throne, . was the recovery of the Valuable' province of Cashmere ; in prosecution of this design; he entered into arrangements with hte Runjeet Singh for a joint expedition, and according ? 3 in se year lBl v 2, being by anothergsuppoiled route, ut a e n , h auxil i ary forced hisuxiliarybom ofway y y in u t o n a C I a s m h o m u n e t r u e in via sa n ß d i m subdueb h r d , and the. x a .a c l r l os ey s btehffooeourfePn found L e i Pr capital,arrival of he h re is leas al e l d ies s . hai ? n Shoojah,becn , g master vhomhe prisoner there. It is believed that even then Futteh Khan made certain overtures regarding his restora tion, hut the Monarch had too frequently found cause to distrust his professions, and accordingly declined all offers, pleading his desire to return to his family. His wish was finally complied with, and he left Cash mere in company with Runjeet's Dewan, Mokum Chund, who had commanded the Seik troops em ployed in the expedition; and in the year 1831 he arrived at Lahore, where he found his family in a con dition that remains to be described. When some months previously he had been con veyed a prisoner to Cashmere, his family, together with his blind brother Zeman Khan, sought refuge with Runjeet Sinfili at Lahore, who at first received them with attention and kindness and even held out hopes of procuring th e liberation of the Shah, and of fitting out an expedition for the purPoe• FOR GRANTING IFE ASSURANCES, DEFERRED ANNUITIES, &c.

In the mean time, as already stated, the Shah himself had arrived at Lahore. The demand for the coveted jewel was persisted in, and harsh measures resorted to in order to enforce compliance; a strict guard was placed round the Shah's residence, and no ingress or egress - permitted' without strict search : the unfortunate exiles being proof against mere restraint, the prohibitions of food. was added, and for two days the Shah together with his whole family and establishment suffered absolute deprivation ; even by this their firmness was not over cpifel reputation,uoroi slo i r 1 further communications produced i andneot of erse experiment, add S bod e lir: foodek r ruler, o e o r u. , on t o o ft supplied daringrer e g ard o t o t do cEihricnogemee i s p s S ed urpo hort b r l t l r y in te after tso t h h ahl i j s z let te r s t o intercepted F w e r e uth Khan, and other Affghan chiefs, praying for assist ance against Runjeet; these were generally supposed to be fabrications, but they furnished grounds for in creased severity of treatment, which, even of the most galling and injurious kind, was resorted to, and a transfer to the fortress of Govind Ghur was threat ened; worn out at last by these importunities and perceiving that the Seik was determined to obtain his ends at any sacrifice, the Shah at last agreed to com ply, and after several delays, this valuable jewel was surrendered in the month of June 1813. The Shah and his family were now left more at liberty, and for a short time enjoyed comparative repose. The extortion of Runjeet, however, was not com plete ; he learned that the Shah had still some jewels left, and a demand was accordingly made for them. On a denial of their existence, Runjeet sent his head eunuch and a party of women to search the interior apartments, and caused every box or packet the Shah possessed to he brought into his presence, from which he selected all the most precious articles. The Shah -was now removed from the Shalimar, where he had hitherto resided, to a common house in the city, and subjected there to strict surveillance, as also to every kind of indignity and discomfort. Under these cir cumstances he determined to attempt the escape of his family and himself, both of which were effected in an extraordinary manner and with great courage and ad dress. In the end of Nov. the Wuffadar Begum and ladies of the family succeeded in eluding the vigilance of their guards and leaving the house disguised as Hindoo women. They first proceeded to the house of Baluk Ram, a banker in the city, and treasurer to the British Residency, and finally after exceeding risk and difficulty made their way to Loo diana, where they arrived on the 2d of December, 1814. In this hazardous attempt they were mainly indebted for success to Arab Allee Khan a Puthan horse-dealer, who planned the whole, assisted their escape from the Harem, and laid the horses for them on the road. Shah Shoojah was too strictly watched to effect his escape at the time, and was new closely imprisoned and treated with the utmost rigour, sen tries being placed in every apartment. All these pre cautions, however, proved unavailing. In the month of April, 1815, the Shah, in the most wonderful and enterprising manner, escaped from Lahore. His re lease was planned by the Wuffadar Begum at Loo diana and carried out by his friends and followers in the city; the houses adjoining that in which he was confined, were hired for the purpose, and a passage opened into the street by cutting througla seven walls ; a few hours after the house hold had retired to rest, the King descended by these apertures and issued into the street disguised as a na tive of the Punjab. The city wall had vet to be passed, and the gates were closed for the ni ght, but he ma naged to creep through the common sewer or drain of the city, and found himself once more without the walls. Horses had been laid for him, and attended by two or three servants he fled towards the hills, and was hospitably received by the Raja of Kishtwar. Here he once more raised the standard of a Monarch, and having collected a body of 3,000 men and assisted by his friend the Baja, he invaded Cashmere ; the attempt promised favourably at first, the Governor of Cashmere evacuated his frontier position, and the Shah advanced flushed with the hope of success, but fortune again played him false. In crossing the Peer Punjal range, he was overtaken by a heavy fall of snow, in which many of his followers perished ; an untimely and severe season blocked up the roads, interrupted his communications and cut oft his supplies ; the cold destroyed some of the troops, and the rest dispersed. The Sl ah felt that he was warring against fate, and gave over the attempt; he fled with a few followers to Sutnnpore, the capital of Kooloo, where he was it )st kindly received by the Baja, who nobly resisted Runjeet's demand for his surrender (for which he was afterwards severely punished), and who assisted him to reach the British froetier at Subathoo, where he arrived after a hazard ous journey and much privation, in September, 1816. From thi s he proceeded to Loodiana, where he joined his family once more. Here he found an honourable and safe asylum from the British Government, who allowed him a yearly provision of 50,000 rupees as long as he remained within the British territory ; he was subsequently joined by his brother Shah Zeman, who was finally set at liberty by Runjeet Singh; the British Government allowed him also an annuity of 24,000 rupees. In the mean time Futteh Khan having established Mahmood on the throne, and having settled affairs in Cashmere, turned his attention to Herat, which the Persians threatened with invasion ; here he had an undecided action with the Persians, who however re tired, and Futteh Khan, under authority received from Mahmood, dealt very harshly with Hadjee Feroze, the Governor of Herat, of whose conduct Mahmood was hre feelings alarmed ;f . ab T ro h o e od p , o a N n v d er e a x n c d in the breast of his son K amran, who, with his ited auth sti o ll ri s t t y ro o n f ge t father's sanction and knowledge, having proceeded .to Herat, treacherously seized Futteh Khan at an inter view and put out his eyes. This rash and most un grateful act was committed in 1818 and drove all Futteh Khan's brothers, with the whole Barukzye tribe, into open rebellion. FuttehlKhan was shortly after this, cruelly murdered by Mahmood and his son Kamran. Mahmood's power departed with the loss of his Vuzeer, be dared not meet the rebels in the field, but fled to Herat, where he sunk into a vassal of Persia; he died at the city in 1829, and was succeeded by his son Kamran, who with his Minister Yar Mahommnd, who was son to Atta Mahommud Khan, and grand son to the Mooktyar-00-dowlah, have recently been brought prominently to notice even in the European world. Azeem Khan, the eldest of Futteh Khan's brothers, who had been left to govern Cashmere, as sumed the chief authority as head of the family, and hastened to the scene of action to 'avenge his brother's death by dethroning his murderer; but Mahmood's flight had already anticipated his intention. Azeem Khan now took the somewhat extraordinary resolu tiontime of recalling Shah Shoojah from exile , an d offered him the crown of Caubul, sending at the same a Koran under his seal, as a proof of his _ sin The Shah accepted his offer, and r paired wit h s i nce ri ty. all The expedition to Peshawur : this was in Fortune once more seemed to smile upon the the end of 1 818 .

Make me but King," ed he said, " and permit money to be coined in my name, in the Shoojah, perso whon o s f u n oo , and the whole power and resources of the kingdom ma y rest with yourself, my ambition will be satisfied with bread and the title of King." Azeem Khan closed with his terms, and both parties adhered to their agreement ; the power and authority being en tirely centered in Azeem Khan, with the title of Vuzeer, who carried on the affairs of the State in the name of the shadow of royalty. The unfortunate an Sh d ah r S et h i o re ctit to was si i l m ik m arpo edi re ately dri ins v c e i n n f d ro e, m mil Peshawur, which the Ameers of that country agreed to cede to him. llere he was engaged in a number of petty and undigni fied intrigues, not well calculated to support his fall ing fortunes, but to which he was in some measure forced by the machinations of his enemies, who at last succeeded in expelling him from this miserable retreat. Once more a fugitive he took the circuitous route of the desert and Jaysulmere and regained his family at Loodiana. In the mean time the civil war which continued in cessantly in Affghanistan, weakened the power of that nation, a circumstance of which the wily Seik ruler availed himself to the fullest extent; one by one the eastern provinces, Mooltan, Leia, and Cashmere fell into his power; and finally after defeatingthe Affghan force at Noushera on the Caubul river in 1823, he made himself master of the fertile province of Pesha avur : this last blow was followed by and is said to have caused the death of Azeem Khan, the head of the Barukzye brothers, which event was the signal for a scene of family strife, and the dismemberment of the empire. Sultan Mahmood, one of the brothers, held Peshawur from Runjeet as his tributary ; Dost Ma hummud made himself master of Caubul and the neighbouring districts; and four other brothers ruled d - \ttest. -.
