Next is a letter (No. st.) from Khadar Newaz
Khan_, to Gholaum Ally one of Tippoo's
datyd January, 8,1797 ; of which the
following extras is applicable to the prefent fub-
jeS
" 1 have been from firft to !aft endeavouring, that, through
the faviur of GOO, the degree of Union between thefe two
chofcn of the Loau (meaning the Nabob Omdut ul Omrah and
Tippoo Sultaun) which is calculated to promote the happinefs
of GOD'S People, may daily be fizengthened and cemented, and
mutual friendlhip and attachment be confirmed.aud
ed ; and, thanks to the ALMIGIITY, that the Syftem of harmony
and union has acquired the requifite degree ofitability and firm-
nefs (literally` that as it fhould be, to it is)."

This is the of the letters found in Seringa•
patani.

The next (pecks of evidence tending to (hew the
hoftile views of the late Nabob against the Britifh
interefts in India, is the examination of certain
perfons, taken before Meas. Webbe and Clofe, at
Vellore and Sexingapatam in May, 1800.

The firn perfon examined was Ally Rezaa, late
Milliner to Tippoo. He is repeatedly alked what
was the fecret communication made by Omd;it ul
Omrah to him in the garden of the mofque, which
could not be committed to writing ? but his an-
fwers contained nothing to criminate Omdut ul
Omrah. He faid the fecret communications re-
lated to profeflions of friendfhip, and a propofal of
an alliance by marriage between one of the Na-
bob's daughters and Tippoo's family.

Ally Rezza, of himfeff Rates, that the Nabob
Wallajah communicated in the molt earneft man-
ner, taking GOD to witnefs, his entreaty to the
Sultaun, that he fhould refrain. from breaking with
the Englifh, and that he fhould adhere to the
friendfhip eflablifhed between them.
From a long examination, the molt of which is
uninterefling, we extra& the following palTages :
Q,When the Nabob Wallajah made his propofition of fimple
fri p, requiring an anfwer, how did it happen that the
Vakeeb, who were in poifeffion of the Sultaun's orders to effed
a much more intimate conneetion, did not fatbfy the Nabob
Onidut ul Omrah of the difpofition of the Sultaun, without
farther reference to Seringapatamf

A. A propofition-of marriage being of a very delicate nature
among Mu ulmans„ and confined in this inftance to Gbolam
Ally Khan only, it was not proper for both Vakeels to interfere
on this rubjea ; the eonveration was entirely confined between
Dmdnt ul Omrah and Gholsm Ally Khan at the Garden; when
they took leave at parting, Ally Rasa Rates of himfdf, that
sherthe Vakedshid arrived at the Mount (on their final return
to Seringapatam) Omdut ul Omrah came to the Mount, and
had a feparate converfatioa with Ghana% Ally Khan, which he
fuppoks to have related to the propofition of the Marriage.
Mess.—Ally Rena takes Goa to vritnefs in the mat folemn
manner, that nothing paffed at the Morgue with his knowledge,
rave the communication between Omdut ul Omrah and Gbo-
lam Ally Khan. on the fubjedt of the marriage,the declaration
of Omdut ul Omrab's ddire of cultivating Tippoo Sultana's
friendfhip, and his offer for eftabliihing jaghters and Munfubs
for the Princes and the Vakeels.

Q._ What are the points which could not be committed to
paper, and could only be communicated in perfon ?—A. To
recapitulate, according to Lord Cornwallis's diredions' the
courfe of holt& tran fadtion which had taken place from early
times between the two States; to inffit on the detention of the
prifoners by TippooSultaun' and his cruelty towards them; to
inculcate the neceffity of a Reform in his fentiments towards
the British Nation, and to lay the foundation of permanent
friendildp, to be further confirmed in Europe. •
Thde propolitions of Lord Cornwallis were confirmed by
the advice of the Nabob %Rajah, founded on his long expe-
rience and age.

It It appean that pains were taken to procure private meet-
ings with the Vakeels a.t Madras by ul Omrah, and It
appears that two cyphers were e ed for the purpofe of fee vet
communications. It is therefore very extraordinary that fo
much trouble ihotail have been taken to conceal matters which,
if accotnplithed or known, muft have tended to increafe the
friendihip between Tippoo and the Britilk Nation.

A. I acknowledge another inconfiftency between the means
tired and the purports alres.dy Rated, and that fuch an incon-
filtency does afford ground for furpicion. With :eked to the
fecond Paper, I do not know of its having been brought into
ufe ; and I call GOD to witnefs, that I am ready to meet any
extremity which the Englifh Government may choofe to in-
Sid, if any point was agitated, with my knowledge, befides
tbofc already Rated. He (Ally Rczza) once took occation to
enquire of Ghelam Ally Khan what was the reafon of this at-
tention to the obit:mance of fecrecy in affairs which were ap-
parently innocent? Cholam Ally Khan raid, that a certain de-
licacy of concealment (Hijalee) was to be obfavad in the affair
of the marriage.

Qls the warmth or the expreinons in thls letter (No. 40
confftwt with the general forms of civility?—A. In the Weitern
World, people are comet and limited in exprefling themfelves,
but the people of India exaggerate extravagantlf their expref.
Bons of regard. I regard the whole of the ExprdEona in this
letter (No. 4,) to be exaggerated.

Gt_Did the Nabob Virallajah adttally make nfc of thefe
preons ?--A. It was cuttomary for the Vakeela to heighten
the exprellions of regard which fdl from Lord Cornwallis, or
the Nabob Wallaj.dt, or any other perfoa, for the purple of
conciliating the mind of Tippoo Sultaun.

11_ Did the Nabob Wallajah actually pre' the Exprcffion,
a 'Mat the Sultaun was the only Pillar of the Faith; and that
with refped to himfelf, the Rate of affairs here (meaning at
Madras) was well known?".—A. The expreMon is certainly
heightened; but the Nabob Walkjah did allude to the differ.
epee of cireumitances between himfelf and the Sultaun, with
rdfpea to power and independence, fo as to form a fulficient
foundation for the reprefentation of the Vakeels.
Q Did you ever fend to Tippoo Sultaun a defcription of the
works of Fort St. George I did.
Q By what means did you become icquatnted with the de.
kripdon of them . I made the belt defcription I was able,
from my own obfervadon, and from the information of a Malt-
tey Carpenter. lent for that purpofe frOm Scringapatam, by
Tlppoo Sultaun. Tipppoo Juliann was defirous of building a
Fort on the model of Fort St. George, an alfu an Arfenal, of
which the Majeity took a drawing.

A. Nlitas the Nabob Omdut ul Ommh privy to this order?—
o; the order wail kept [octet.
• 11,_ Did you ever receive any intelligence from the Nabobs
Viaajah or Omdut ul Omrah of a ferret nature ?—A. The
Vakeels received iutenigence of the death of the King of France,
with advice from Wallajah to withdraw Tippoo Sultaun's Va-
keel from Pondiehemy.

Q Did the Nabob explain his intention in giving this intel-
ligence ?—A. The Nabob explained, that his motive for doing
fo arofe from good wilhes towards Tippoo Sultaun.

Q, What do you pofe to have been the intention of Om-
dut Omrah's tions of friendesip defcribed in this 'tet-
te: ?—A. The eltablinanent of cordiality.

iit.ConAdering the long eftabliihed rivalry and enmity be-
tween the two families, fomething more than mere cordiality
appears t. be imputable to the anxiety of Omdut ul Omrah.—
A. The profteution of the former wars had been attended
with great detriment to both parties, and he (Ally Reaza)
conceives that Qmdut ul Ornrah's motive was to reptir thofe
loins 6y the rerervation of peace.
Gholaum Ally Khan was the only other witnefs
examined ; his evidence is of the fame unfatisfac-
tory nature with that of Ally Rezza. The Com•
millioners found great dif4culty in obtaining an.
