On the 17th of January, 1780 : " Governor- General. That a peace may have taken place between Hyder Ali and the Mahrattas I do not doubt ; my own advices confirm it. But no alli- ance between them can be of long duration, as it is unnatural. I am convinced, from the whole tenor of Hyder Ali's conduct and disposition, that he will never molest us whilst we endea- vour to preserve a good understanding with him. And I therefore object to this information being given to the Court of Directors in th...e general letter, as only tending to alarm them without sufficient cause for it. " t * Evidences, p. 475. I Evidences, p. 492. Sixth Report, Appendix, No. 247 . THE TABLES TURNED. 221 [The correspondence from which we have now so largely quoted will serve as a luminous com- mentary on the words of Colonel Wilks, given above, (at p. 199, ) and which have been sub- stantially adopted by subsequent historians. Hyder's letters did, indeed, " speak daggers to the most torpid apprehension. " Their meaning was well understood and keenly felt at Madras.
