Jangheer during thefe laft broils wasrefident at Fettipore, where he heard of yzhdttl-.
a, H .1002 cmm pranksand O/rro^i frefh Rebellion*, which makes him fleep unquietly, till both of
them receive due punifhment: To which end, he calls 5///^ Pmrnj his Son, and ac
quainting him with his delign, gives him order to levy new Forces wherewith to profecute
his brother and thofe out-Tawed Umbraes that accompanied him.
Curroon Perwees (prevailing with Mahobet-chan to affbciate him) with fifty thoufand Horfe
rebels , moves againlt Cwrroon '-y by the way impriibning Mirz.a~chan Abdul cham Son, (who but
and is lately was married to Jangheers Grandchild) and by his order he is fent manacled to
beaten. Ethabar-chan, in Agra Jaltle to be confined, whiles Abdul Auef-chan (who by Abdul-
chans pei fwafions was brought to Curroons party) efcapes and upon fubmiifion to the
Mogul is pardoned. Curroon \\^ early notice both of the levies that were made to
reduce him and of the approach of his Enemies, fo as from Awneer he hafts to Mando
to recruit his Army, with a full determination to bid them battle. Fenvees follows his
motion, and after a long and fpeedy march pitches ten Englijh Miles from his Brothers
Camp with a refolutionto engage him fpeedily: accordingly the next morning drawing
oat his men he affails him s who at the firft ftiock (bymif-hap of Ruftan-chan and Berken-
dafchan) gave ground and let the Enemy poilefs his trenches. In a word, afteralliort
dilpute Perwees has the day, and Carroon flies to Brampore his old receptacle. Gangama
lathe interim noting Curroans fadnefs, takes advantage of it, and perfwades the Prince
to fend him to treat with Ferwees for an accommodation, intending indeed to betray
and deliver him into Ferwees his hands (having precontracted with Beyramheg and
Darab-chamto fecure him, who to that end had ambulhed near the River Nardebah
twenty tiioufand Horfe :) But AbduUhan diffwades Cnrroon^ diftruflmg ^^Ws viL
lanyv which could not be fo fecretly apprehended, but that by fome means or other
* Cmgamn Had notice given him, which gave him a feafonable opportunity to efcape the
Princes fury: So thatfo foon as his intended treachery was made pubiick, Beyramheg
with his aflbciate were loaden with Irons and placed on an Elephant^ and with lomefe-
led troops Curroon leaves Brampore and flies into Btcan where by Melee Amber (glad
of fuch confufion) he was welcomed, and feated in Najfier-Throm^ where he dictates
patience: his Elephants and men in the mean time are lent to Daultabat, to be there
quartered till he had further ufe of them.
Sultan Perwees and Mahobet-chan after this rout, enter Brampore-, where they had in
telligence whither Curroon was retreated. They prefently give Jangheer notice of their
goodfuccefs, which he entertains with no lefs joy than as if he had triumphed over a
dangerous Enemy. But behold r this fair Sun-ihine of content was inveloped with an
unexpected cloud of danger : For J'hen Thouz. an Ouzbeg Tartar (of long time watching
a fit occallon to for rage the Moguls Territories, and taking the opportunity of Curroons
out-breaking) with thirty thoufand Horfe over-runs C^/, (Araehofia of old) plunder
ing the Country and doing all the fpoil and mifchief he was able. Which known to
Jangheer, fo foon as he had given vent to his paffion, he fends poft to Zaed~cmn {Son to
Mahobet-cawn) at that time Viceroy olBange to advance with what force he could againft
that invading Tartar. This young Gallant delays not, but with twenty thoufand Horfe
haftens to find the Enemy r, and fooner than the Tmar expeded entred his quarters and
gave him fb furious a charge, that J^hen Thouz. after fhort trial found his men better at
plundering than fighting: For after a fhort engagement they betook themfelves to flight ^
which by reafon ot the fpoil they were loaden and loth to part with, gave the Indians
the better opportunity of overtaking them >, by which mif-hap, the Tartar loft half his
men, befides fuch rich bagg and booty as gave Zaed-cavon the occafion of encouraging
ms men beyond their expectation. And to requite the Tartar, they delayed not topro-
iecute their Victory by following the difmayed Tartar into his own Country, and as far
as Gajjany burn, fpoil and make havock of what they could meet with, marching back
with
