In accordance wrth the stipulation contained m tins
Treaty, the Governor-General in Council despatched a British
force under Major Popham into the tenitory of Gohud, to
co-operate with the Maha Rana s army against the Mahrattas,
and expel them from the state. The combined armies lost
no time in attacking the main body of the Mahrattas, under
Scindiah, which they signally defeated and dispersed, and
then took by storm the strong Fort of Lohar. From thence
the combined army advanced to lay siege to Gwalior, which,
after an investment of two months, was taken by escalade on
the 4th August 1780, and, under the terms of the Treaty,
made over to the Maha Rana, by whose troops it was im
mediately garrisoned. Scindiah being much exasperated by
the loss of these two important fortresses, determined to
attempt to recover them. In order to frustrate his designs,
upon 1st November 1780, the Governor-General in Council
directed Major Camac to proceed with the troops under his
command, without loss of time, into the dominions of the
Rana of Gohud, there to reinforce the troops, then under the
command of Captain Popham, and to proceed to invade the
Mahratta districts, which lay beyond the district of Gohud,
in order to draw the attention of Scindiah from a British
force then employed, under Colonel Goddard, in the reduction
of Bassein. In issuing this command to Major Camac, the
following instructions were given to that officer by the
Government" The Rana of Gohud having, by virtue of a
Treaty concluded between him and the British Government,
required the aid of a military force on the part of this Govern
ment for the defence of his country against the Mahrattas^
who had invaded it. Captain Popham was appointed to this
service, and to this you now succeed. We, therefore, direct
that you comply with such requisitions as shall be made
to you by the Rana for this, and for such other conditions
as he is entitled to demand by the Treaty, as shall be
practicable with the force under your command. Whenever
the Rana shall have no further service for the detachment,
