" It is rumoured that after the rainy season a
movement will be male by a portion cif the Madras
army, and even by certain regiments from this presi-
dency, upon • territory of the Nizam. The Nizam
has persisted in a system of expense which has en-
tailed‘ upon him many difficulties. More especially
1418 is the ease with respect to the amount of his army
"--30,000 men—for which he has no adequate means
of payment. He is said to have now urgently repeated
his former request to our resident fur support,
le,riously alarmed as he is by the turbulence and
threats of his soldiery. If we interfere at this
moment, it will probably be with a view to a some-
What definite settlement of affairs in that territory.

be necessary for him to visit the hills.
