Its chief objects wer. E to conquer the dominions of Sindia between the Ganges and Jumna ; to obtain possession of the Mogul's person and his nominal authority, which still remained in the hands of the Mah- ratta chiefs since the Rohilla war; and to establish securely as subsidiary states the governments of the Nizam, the Peshwa, and Gaekwar. The northern army, under General Lake, marched from Cawnpore on the 7th of August. Their first suc- cess was the capture of the fort of Alighur, under cir...cumstances of difficulty which would have amounted to impossibility with any other than British troops. This place was the residence of Perron one of the French generals of Sindia ; who in a few days after quitted the service in disgust, but without any circumstance of dishonour. On the 4th of September a French officer attacked five companies of English sepoys and compelled them to capitulate ; but the next affair of importance was a field battle fought on the llth near Delhi, in which the Mahrattas, commanded by a French general, were vanquished and put to flight.
