OF THE WAR WITH TIPPOO SULTAUN.

session of Mangalore without opposition, on the 4th of June ; and
the province of Canara, with the exception cf the fortress of
Jemaulabad, appeared disposed to submit cheerfully to the autho-
rity of the British government. There was no doubt that the
commanding ofhcer of Jemaulabad, would soon be induced to sur-
render to the company's arms. In the event, however, of an
opposition, he would be reduced without difficulty; and in this
confidence, the Governor-general appointed a collector for the
province of Canara.
Since the fall cf Seringapatam, the conduct of the Marhattahs
has been of the most conciliatory nature; and there was not the
least appearance of their giving any interruption to the settlement
of Mysore. Whatever may be the secret inclinations, either of the
Paishwah, or of Scindiah, their mutual weakness, and reciprocal
jealousy, are sufficient securities against any danger from that
quarter.
