Influential natives banished by Daendels had been sent home by Raffles to report confidentially. Crawfurd, however, by setting them up as rivals to the Sultan, rendered the mission useless. Mean- while Raffles was still determined to acknowledge the Sultan's authority. He started from Souracarta on December 26, and on the next day proceeded direct to Djocjocarta. ' On my arrival, ' Raffles writes to Lord Minto, ' in the neighbourhood of Djocjocarta, every arrangement was made for my reception w...ith the honours shown to Marshal Daendels. ... I was first met by the Regent, and then by the Sultan, with whom I proceeded in the same carriage to the Residency House, the roads SIR STAMFORD RAFFLES 69 and streets being lined and crowded by about 10, 000 armed men of various descriptions, mostly cavalry. . . . Everything, however, was perfectly peaceable on my approach, and by a quick movement of the troops from Klatten in one morning, and before the Sultan was aware of their number, I found myself in Djocjocarta with nearly the whole dis- posable force that could have been brought against the place.
