KI-IA.UN, AND ALLI REZZA KHAIiN,. TO TIPPOO
'T SULTAUN; DATED HE. 26TH -i'I.:CKRE, 122 Q;
(AtiSWE-RINd TO ABOUT THE IS'Tfi JUNE, 1792).
THE following conversation too .place at a visit
made by the Princes to thg Nabob WALLA4Ait,.on
the 21st. Tuckee, izzo (answering to about- the
toth of, June '1792). •
We presented Nuzzurs of eleven gold Moburs to,
the Nabob WALLAJAH, of which his Highness
took one, and using, embraced us and said, " May
God long preserve Tri4oo SULTAUT,I, who is the
pillar of the religion of Mahommed. Night and day
I used to be absorbed in this contemplation; and to
pray for his Highness's prosperity ; I call God to•
witness this fat, because the confederacy of three
Allies was for the subverSion• of the Mahomedan
Religion. It is solely .to be attributed to the Di-
vine,Goodnmi th;it.the prayers of us Shiners have
been accepted: Believe it true; that I from thy.
heart desire the welfare of the Sultatin" ‘..
When the Princes ,and we ,took leave of the Na_
bob WALLAJAH, and were going away, he came up
to us, arid with a great deal of warmth desired us to
stay, as he had something to say to us. We replied,
we were ready. He then tOld us—that his life was
now drawing to a close—that fot what had hither-
to taken place between, his Highness and your Ma-
jesty there was no remedy ; but now, merely out of
a regard to the Faith (of which your Majesty was
a' pillar) he was desirous of establishing a cordial
harnicihy with yotir Majesty ; and if we, having in
view the elainii of both Parties\ (upon our endea-
yours) would in the presence of God exert ourselves
foethis purpose, the Almighty would reward us;
and both Parties would reap the benefits of this
event, which were great and numberless ; that al-
though- his Highness wanted to preVent the War
between Your Majesty and the ibiee Allied States,
yet that NIZAM ALLI KHAUS, at the latter period
of his life, wasthus preparing for futurity, by ex-
erting himself for the destruftion of Religion. It
was' solely from a regard to the Faith, that his
Highnesi-did not encourage the measure, and that he
now, declared that, in thousand points of view,
it was advisable that perfeft harmony shatild reign
,between your Majesty and his Highne'ss:, s We re-
plied; that we would UndoUbtedly report all, thiS to
your Majesty. •

AUZ KHAN, ydunger sons of WALLAJAH, Lord

.the Princes. They sat two hours (about three
quarters or an hour gnglish) and talked great deal
with them. HiS Highness tOok occasidn to observe,
that we considered hith to ,have been an enemy,
whereas he declared in the presence of God, that he
was not; and is not ; that, on the contrary, he was
a friend and well-wisher ; and that he had opposed
-the breach between your Majesty and the three
Allied States, to such a degree, that every one de-
cided in his own mind, that inwardly your Majesty
and his Highness were one ;. and he 'desired us to
ask Lord CORNWALLIS and .General MEADOWS,
who were present,, whether he said true or not.
