DIAH, commanded by LUCRWADADA, together
with the 2d brigade, commanded by Major POLH-
NAN, the Brigade of the Chevalier DUDERNERG,
and one battalion of the COTAH RAJAH, retreated
from Agimere, and reached Jeypoor, with the
remains of his beaten army, thirty cofs from the
fcene of adion, on the following day. The Ra-
jah's army confined of about 65,000 men. No
fooner had a falute of 25 guns been fired at the
camp near Poonah, in confiquence of this advan-
tage gained by the Mahratta General, than infor-
mation reached the Mahratta camp, that the Ra-
jah of JR yrooa had rallied his army, and received
a confideraisle reinforcement, with which he meant
to renew the attack. The lots of four 24, three
a, four 8, and four 6 pounders, which LOCEWA-
DADA took in the plains of Aguifere, were, it feems,
replaced at Jeypoor, the RAJAH having eftablifhed
a kind of depot at hat place. Three days after
the aAion hoftilities were again menaced, and the
Mahratta army, with great promptitude, awaited
the approach of the enemy. They had previoufly
captured all their camp equipage and baggage,
which is faid to be very valuable. It is not ima-
gined that the Mahrattas will wait for the attack,
as they are already in Azmere with a powerful
force, and have poffeffion of the fortrefs on the top
of the mountain, which is a fortification of great
ftrength, and ie road towards Agra being alto
perfedly clear, we are in momentary expedation
of receiving lonic important advices refpeding this
