which usual for striliing eeople in a crowd, to
mike them stand swine. One of the assassins struck
the Shestry a very violent apparently with the
cloth, when it was discovered Iliad he bud a sword
also in his band ; another seized him by the lock of
hair oil the crown of his head, to throw him down,
and when he was falling. the third assassin cut him
over the head. Two thor'o_t tiler) at this juncture,
ruelitd from the front of the party, and three of the
ettendants, who attempted AO stay by the Shastry,
were wounded ; on which his friends. iiiiissideliees,
and follower,, ran away and left him in tar hands
of toe murderers, who mangled Inns in the most
shozkiiig manner, and one of them exc;ainied,
have now finished him!' This was to eilieuid
one of the wounded men. The asses-ins (Iwo threw
down two sword scabbards and made their escare ;
and theShastry's people, who were following with
the old mill already alluded to, raw fee Into with
naked swords molting tewards the temple; they
also observed the flambeau lying extieguishrd ne.l
smoking on the ground, and bereme time!'
alarmed; hut tint knowing what hail taken
place, tern (Jr three of them ran home to t;,,-
Shastry's house, and learning lie was not them. they
returned to search for him, and found his corpse so
the road almost cut to bits. They took the pit cod
and carried them home; this was alinut half-past
eight o7cloek at eight. The intelligence was im-
mediately curried to the Peishe eh, who ordered sot-
dttional precnutions shout his own person ; and
shortly after one of Triinbuckjee's people came to
inquire what had happened. The police slicer
also attended to see the curlier.. and retutorol ht
report: to the Piesliwah, observing that one of the
essussios had been seen near the river, and had
thrown down his sword and had esettprd in the
crowd ; but that the sword hail been carried to
Tr i 11l buckler. The news shortly teethed the
Guickwer camp; nod some of the principal Sir-
dan came to the town, to take measures fur hut
ing the Sliastry's remains, and obtained permission
from Trimbockjee to that effect; and likewise en
order from his Highness the Peishwali, for tlnl
Shastry's people to have free ingress and egress to
and from the city. The following day; some s-f
the Shastry's carceons went to Triinbuckjer, end
told him, it behoved him, as the friend or the
deceased, and also the minister of the Petshwah, to
make inquiries towards ascertaining the attire of tlid
Shastry's murder; to which Trintbnckjee answered,
• I am doing so; but on whom can 1 breathe,
suspicion ? I hate no clue to guide me.' The
careoons again observed, • It is due to the Sloes...
try, iiiid also to the honour of ybur thivertionnio,
to discover the origin of what has happened.'
Trimbuckjee replied in terms of c:vility, awl:
declared that the Peishwah was great:y grieied
by the event that bad happened; but that die Shim.
try was wrong to venture abroad without a outr.ber
of attendants, fifty or an hundred. The cartoons
replied, • He considered himself in the house of has
friend; and besides, it was not usual to bring mai'',
people on such an occasion; you know,' added
they, • who are the Slsastry'a eilernies, the aasootaiei •
appeared to he Caroatic mess.' Ile replied. • What
yen soy is true, but hoer could I avert wind fate
had decreed ? There is the Porvoe Seeterani, sod
you have placed one of the Guickwars, Canssnjee.
in the Carnatic, though I cannot take the mime of
any enemy. You must now look to yourselves, but
depend on my friendship. He who protected pass
all is now int snore, and I will do so to the utmost
of my ponet.' The Shastry's cercoosis then left
the plaee, and the following day they obtained,
through Trimbockjee, the Peishwah's private per-
misiiiiii for the Baroda people to return to Noll*.
It was at the same time intimated So them, that
they need not attend again at either Trilubtickjet's
quarters or the Peishwah's house.
" The murderers appeared to be dresSed in short
breeches, such as are worn in the Cernatic, hot
spoke in the Mehratta language yawn they ex-
claimed as already stated, we have now finished
hien'!"

The ditatches from Mr. Elphinstrine then pro.
seeded to state, that Triathuchjer having escaped
from Tannah, raised a body of troops, which he
kept within sixty miles of Poona ; that the l'ekh-
with secretly encouraged hint in Isis projects, made
large levies of troops, and dispatched cannon and
provisions to several of his fortresses. Mr. Elphio.
stone, in consequence, collected British troops about
Poona, cud succeeded to inducing the Pei-Imola to
surrender three of his forts into the hands of the
British, as has been already communicated in l'ur;

The following dispatch from Mr. Elphinstene to
the Governor-General, dated the 6di of November,
1817, chews the unsuccessful termination of the
negociations with the Peishwali, and the cnmme,,c•e.
went of those hostilities winch have since led to
such glorious results:—
Camp at Kirt•y, dth Idovenahee, 1817.
MY LORD—The premium ad business for tne,e
several days, and the uncertainty of the result, have
prevented my hitherto reporting to your Excel leacy ;
but as we are now in a state of tyre' war with the
Peishwah, it is necorsary to acquaint
~oti with the
tnanner in which the rupture was biought on, leas-
ing all details for a subsequent dispatch.
The great military preparation■ of his ifiglinpst
the Peisharali, his distinct refusal to send and p rt
of the force he had collected away bout Pout.,, flit
threatening po►ition he had occupied in the strlgi,-
boarhood of our camp, and above all, his titirettol.
ting endeavours to corrupt the fidelity of our nvtive
troops, rendered it alpsolu!ely nice•,ary, in niy
judgment, to remove the hrigaile from Ilse very blal
povition it occupied at the town, to that 'riveted fur

This circumstance, and that or our cantonment
being on the alert on the 39th ultimo, the night
before the arrival of the European regiment, se.
moved the appearance of confidence which bed
been in souse measure kept up► between us and the
Prishwali. Thus appearance had ahFinded no mt.
