ported to the Governor-General that the protest was not re
quired to be presented to the Maha Rana, as the Prince had
himself joined Colonel Muir with two other battalions of
infantry, making in all four battalions and 1200 cavalry, and
Colonel Muir represented that " the presence of the Rana in
person with the army was of the most material consequence

hostilities, on condition that none are committed by the op

head from them j and if the Pattele (Scindiah) pleases, let
writings be mutually given on the subject. Also in this
space no troops will march across the Jumna." The over
tures thus made to Scindiah by the British through the
Rana having been thus favourably received by Scindiah, and
