Item CR9/21/35 - News reports from His Majesty's camp to Lord Clive.

News reports from His Majesty's camp which were sent by Rajah Sahib in his letter to me are now being forwarded to you. -- The Emperor and the Nawab Wazir along with their nobles and courtiers have assembled near pargana Zaing/Ring? Most of the troublemakers in the provinces of Hissar and Hansi as well as zamindars of the Rajah of Bikaner who had come here have been killed and their country destroyed. The rest who had moved to the country under the control of the emperor are safe. -- The Nawab Wazir's intentions are that as soon as the management of the country was complete he would accompany the emperor on a hunting expedition or on an excursion. -- Prince Ali Gohaur who had run away to the country of Sadat-i Barah [Barah Syeds] is accompanied by a small army of four or five thousands cavalry and foot soldiers. -- News that Ahmad Shah Abdali was dead, and later on people had reported that he was still alive, leaves no doubt that he has gone to Hell. The Governor of the Lahore province appointed by His Majesty had moved to Sialkot and have established his police posts there. His assistant had moved to Multan. None of the followers of Abdali remain in this province now. Nawab Adinah Beg Kham who was appointed Subahdar of Lahore by His Majesty has passed away; his cousin has been appointed in his place. The province is still under His Majesty's control. -- Rajah Madhu Singh, the son of Raja Jai Singh, died of natural causes in Vijenagar. The brother of Raja has now succeeded him. Raghunath Rao and Malhar Rao, after taking their leave from Nawab Wazir, had left for Deccan; they were going there via Rajputana. Meanwhile, the Nawab Wazir had decided to go on an expedition. He wrote to the above-mentioned sirdars to wait for him before moving further. They are now encamped about two hundred karohs from the capital and are waiting for new instructions from the Nawab Wazir. -- Nawab Shuja al-Daulah, the Governor of Oudh, had gone alone for hunting. On his way he came across fourteen Rohila horsemen who were in his employment. They attacked the Nawab who was injured by two arrows but he fought back and killed four of his attackers. Later he killed two more Rohilah horsemen who were with them. Two others were killed by Umraogar Gosain and two more were taken as prisoners by him. The Nawab, though injured, returned alive to his place. No doubt he behaved very bravely in this encounter.
