Nor does this place now yield small Advantage to the Great Mo-
gul, Gustoms being paid here, and here being a good Trades though
at present a flop be put thereto by Raja Jesinsins being lately dead,
who let the.present Emperor on his Throne, together with Emir
Senda, and the Emperor s demanding the Treasury and Territories
os the Widow ; and her sending this Answer thereupon (the feme

ing, Our Kingdoms extend as sar as we cancaft our Darts}; (o (he re»
turned, Money I have none, but Swords goodsiore: Which has brought
ail the Infidels into a Confederacy with her.
And the Governor of this Province, but a late Convert, and
a kin to her, begins to make Parties for the Advancement of one of
the Sultans he has espoused, to Dethrone Auren Zeeb, as he did his
Father Shaw Gehaun, by the Assistance of his Father Emir Qemh :
Whereupon the Mogul is engaged over Head and Ears in Wars, cal-
ling the Cam of Brampose to his help;
Which gives occasion toSe-va Git and a Neighbouring Raja, the
one to move towards Stirat, the other to set upon Brampore; which
had put suchaConstcrnation on the Merchants, that at my return
they were all ssed with their Wealth, Wives and Families, not think-

the same Booty, Burning and Spoiling the Country about till they
send him a Peace Ossering; of which they having informed the
Emperor now the Walls are built, that he Taxes them as much as
before, and that his Mutters are not half filled for the defence of the
place, MoradBeck the present Auren ZeePs Armour-Bearer in all his
Wars, iscomingwithforcebothtodisplace him, and to suecour the

Troops, being encountred before the latter end of the Month by
the new Governor's Soldiers, not without loss, some Cartloads of
the ssain being brought hither to be Interred.
GrMtinnn- The-Rains are this year set in with that violence, that the very

Mogulby reason of these interruptions cannot go on to overcome
the Pagans, lie wreaks his Malice by aheihng them with heavy Polls,
