which the treasures Of the fortress Ind been ac-
rumula,ed, the inspecting officer is said to have
found opium, and indigo, and salt, and sulphur,
and drugs cf every description heaped together
in endless profusion; enormous boards Of wheat
on one hand, on the other almost inexhaustible
rtorcs Of rice stacks Of ehee vessels Drumming
with their unctpous contents, bales upon bales Of
costly shawls and gorgeous silks; chest after
chest cranmed with seabbsrds blazing with gold
aud jewels; tiers Of copper cAnisters filed to
the bnni with gold mohurs. MY poor pen,'
says a correspondent Of the Delhi Gazette, can.

long II took his father and HE grandfather, in
