nun. and all other fortresses between the
jumna q Suffice rivers, held by the Ncpaui
troops the garrisons Of which are to re-
main at the disposition of the Brush Co
vernon General.
HaJee umr Singh also agreed to send
immediate orders for the evacuation of the
territory OF Ghowal, and for the delivery
OF the forts to the British Officers, the gar
rlsons to proceed pcaceably to Nepau!.-
lie states that he made these engagements
IN the hope that it might lead to an early
renewal OF the relations of amity which
have su5sisted between the two states for
% years. Accordingly this seems to be
considered by the British Officers, as near
ly termination of the Nepaul war. The
only account received of subsequent pro-
ceedngs is contained in the following arti--
Gle from the Calcutta Gazette of June Is,
Calcutta, June 15-Letters of the 2edf
state, from Jytuk, that on the morning
the 2lst, konjour and his followers march
ed out from that fortress, with one gun,
their arms and private property. Upon
possession of the fort Being taken by the
troops under gen. Martincell, immense
quantities OF ammunition and muskets were
discovered. Several guns of small calibre,
were found III the out-woriIs. We have
already said that the stockades were much
weaker than had been previously coniec-
tured from distant view. The fort was
place of small dimensions, and of little or
no strength. 1t and ITS outworks were &C.
cupied by two flank compani s o. his ma
JeSty' SD, and several companies of native
troops, under Maj. Coultman. Prepara-
tions were making for dragging the guns
down to Nahum they would probably de-
sceEd the pass on the oath. The late gar
rison considered itself extremely lucky in
having obtained terms 50 exceedingly fla
vorable, and confessed that had hostilities
continued only tew days longer, it must
have surrendered at discretion.
Dying of famine, it had no strength to
hight; and every attempt to fly must have
ended in its utter destruction, surrounded
as 1T was on all sides, with large force
IN the Doom, ready to intercept the fugi-
hves. The same terms which had been
granted to Umr Singh and his son, and to
BUM Sab, by Colonel Nichols, had been
offered to Ruhktawar and Run deep Ka-
Jees, the Chiefs holding Sreengur and the
eastern parts of the Carnival district
The battalion, which had hcea scattered
through Jaunsar and the western division
CT Carnival, had been ordered to assemble
In the Dooad of the Ganges and to re-
pair to Teree Ghaet on the Bhagruntty,
whence it would proceed directly towards
Sreennsar. Major Baldocl1 was already
there with four companies and about 500
irregulars; and after the arrival of a noun
tain train, proceeding from NAHUM, could
easily reach SreenugCr in three marches.
The detachment under Carpenter was
still encamped In the Doom, and ie ordered
to Srcenugur, would have to surmount the
Budr3j arrange and Deoprag, before reach
ing Teree. No four footed animal, ex-
cePting goats, can travsrse these stupen-
douS mountains. 1t was be- eyed that
Immediately on the setting IN of the rams,
tue various detachments at Eyru, and o.
tn er adjacent places, would leave the low
ana unhealthy lands of the Doom, and re-
tire to the forts situated on the SUBMITS of
the hills in Jaunsar and Gurilwal.
