one of the adventurers to whom Lord Lake gaire away,
they say, a Jaghire close to Alvar, for want of any other
to accept of it. He,.Lord Lake, it seems, had to dispaso •
of many in the same way: This Ameer Buz having never
cased to intrigue and intermeddle with the Alvar, POiel7l.
ntjlit ever since, had at last three of his angers cut aft in a
tustle with some fellows in the dark. The Rajah Inakea
a show of not giving up his ministers; but Sir Owlets
Metcalf will hear of nothing less, other Wise this army will
be on his back, and his fortress, which is said to he nearly
as strong as Bhurtpore, will be, of course, waken about his
ears; but his is only a farce of fear, daubed over with airs
of bullying; he must, of course, yield, and after giving up
the ministers, and being squeezed a little, will be allowed
to remain in state lan. As for this same Ameer Buz,
who is here, he looks a scoundrel. In coming up here,
having admired 'Serumsi Allahabad, and Cavenpore, Ike., I
was most delighted at Agra ; if You have not seen the
Saji there, it is fully worth your while to come from Lon-
den to see it; it is all of the purest white marble, with
theft. domes, and four minarets, finished with all the nicety
of the ivory Chinese castles in At first Chop chesatuen„
On the tombs within the great chamber, under the great
dome, (and all around that chamber) are inlaid (Mosaic
fashion) the most. beautiful flowers, formed of the most
precious gems ; in one anemone I counted above an bun
tired. The flowers and leaves are tiquisitely shaded....
There is another noble chamber before • this, and equally
beautifully inlaid, in which the bodies are placed in tombs
fully us magnificent as those above; the light here it dim ;
the descent is by a flight of marble stairs, (but the whole
and every part is polished white marble) ; while here an
officer in the room above sung, every note of which came
Ito our ears with the truest precision; Never was each an
echo had, it seemed as if the organs of St. Paul, West-
minster, Yorkminater, and twenty others, were breathing
their softest strains, slowly stealing on us, then swelling;
and becoming louder, till the glorious building rebounded
and resounded the divine sounds. It was all magic. The
whole is raised on a high platform of white marble, in the
Icentre of a garden, with walks, and reservoirs for the
purest water, all of marble; with fountains, and jets,areau
sparkling through trees and Ilowers of all kinds, as lofty,
and ancient cypress, Weeping willows, myrtles above :e0
feet, geraniums, rose trees, and trees with blossoms, as
beautiful and as sweet ; finely contrasted with the date and
cocoa-nut, and emu trees. The 'rage (mentl) was
erected in 1632, by the Emperor Shah 3chan (grandson
of the good gr,d glorious Akbar, and father to Aurung-sebe)
Ito hie favourite Sultana, Munluja Zemaum ; it cost
7.50,0001. sterling. lie was himself confined in it by
Aurtinf zebe, died, and was buried there.
