importance would be ejected. For these reasons, he said, he proposed
sending these persons to the Presence, that hereaher should your highness
approve of engaging Frenchmen for your service, they should be enter-
tained at the rate and according to the customs of the Sirkar, and sent
accordingly. Refuge of the World!—-After the lapse of 18 days, the
ship which had been sent to Bourbon returned empty, it appeared that
a great many men wished to come, but were prevented by the want of
means. On being informed of this, General Malartic sent word to us,
that he proposed, in the course of five or six days, to send us to Bourbon ;
that as many men as were willing to accompany us, we might carry to
your highness. General Mangalon paying us a visit, we stated to him,
that it would be very desirable if he would accompany the troops destined
for the service of the state; to which he replied, that when a considerable
force should arrive from Europe for the purpose of subduing the enemy, he
would accompany it to the Presence, and he desired that we would repre-
sent so to your highness. After sitting two hours, he took leave. Four
days after, General Malartic sent for us to his house, at three o'clock in the
afternoon, and then proposed to us to embark the following morning at
nine o'clock, adding, that he himself would accompany us on board of
ship to take leave. Accordingly the next day, being Thursday the 3 1st
of Rubbaunee, !225 (s/A AiurrA, I7qs), of the birth of Mohummud, we
set out. Arrived at the bank of the river's mouth, several sirdars accom-
panied us in the boat, and escorted us on board the ship, where they took
leave. An hour after, General Malartic, Monsieur Chapms, and Mon-
sieur Dubuc, came on board ; and General Malartic delivered to us the
khereetahs containing the arzees to your highness s address, desiring that
we would present his humble respects. He then gave orders for weighing
anchor, and returned as soon as General Malartic had got on board the
boat: the captain of the ship ordered the anchor to be hove; and in one
day and a night we arrived at Bourbon, where we anchored. Monsieur
Chapuis and Dubuc got into the boat, and visited the governor of Bour-
bon: and returned, bringing with them four persons, who were desirous
of proceeding to the Presence. The captain continued here the whole
