I. THE exalted and Illuftrious Emperor of Indoftan, Shaw Allum Padtcha, having out of his gracious favour, and in confideration of the attachment and fervices of the English Eaft India company, given and granted to them, for ever, by way of iniam, or freegift, the five circars of Muftephanagur, Rajahmundry, Siccacole,

II. By the afore-mentioned treaty of Hydrabad, it was ftipulated that the Nabob Aufuph Jau, having given the circar of Murtezanagur, as a jaghire, to his brother the Nabob Ummeer, ul Omrah Soujah, ul Mulck Behauder, Bazalet Jung, the company fhould not take poffeffion of the faid circar, till after the death of Bazalet Jung, or till he broke the friendship with the faid company, by raifing disturbances in the country of Nizampatam, or the Carnatic; and though the company might justly claim a right to take poffeffion of the faid circar, from the late conduct of Bazalet Jung, yet, in confideration of their friendship for Aufuph Jau, and his family, and that they may not diftrefs his affairs, by obliging him to provide his brother Bazalet Jung with another jaghire, the company do agree and confent that Bazalet Jung ftill hold the circar of Murtezanagur, on the aforefaid conditions, or till it be the pleasure of Aufuph Jau that the company fhould take poffeffion thereof, provided that the faid Bazalet Jung returns immediately to his own country of Adony, and neither keeps with, nor receives from Hyder Naigue any vackeel or correfpondence, but lives in peace and harmony with the English company, and the Nabob Wolau Jau, and gives no protection or affiftance whatever to the faid Naigue, or any of his people, nor any other enemies of the company, or the

Nabob Wolau Jau; but if this article fhall at any time be infringed, the company fhall be at liberty, by virtue of this treaty, to take poffeffion of, and keep the circar of Murtezanagur, in the fame manner as the other four, and the Nabob Aufuph Jau engages to affift them therein with his troops, if neceffary.

Itchapore country, and refufed (as he alledges, in conformity to the Nabob Aufuph Jau's orders) to pay his rents, or obedience to the company, the Nabob Aufuph Jau agrees, on the figning and exchange of the prefent treaty, to write letters, not only to Narraindoo, but to all the zemindars, in the circars of Ellour, Muftephanagur, Rajahmundry, and Siccacole, acquainting them that they are in future to regard the English company as their fovereign, and to pay their rents and obedience to the faid company, or their deputies, without raising any troubles or difturbances. The Nabob Aufuph Jau further agrees, that he will not in future encourage or protect, in raising troubles or disobedience, any zemindars, renter, or fervants of the English company, or the Nabob Wolau Jau; who on their parts engage the fame to his Highness Aufuph Jau.
