It is these last-mentioned Meenas, those of Boondee, who have committed such depredations on the army ; attacking the foragers, intercept- ing the Bunjaras, and plundering every one who is unfortu- nate enough to fall into their hands. Seendhiya has at last resolved to put a stop to these ravages, by taking a large body of them into his service, and employing them in pro- tecting the foraging parties. A treaty has accordingly been made with the Zumeendar of Shursa, a district about twenty miles... from camp, and reckoned the principal of the Meena villages, for a corps of five hundred. He came to camp for this purpose, and left it again yesterday to collect his people. Their depredations had become so audacious, that a de- tachment of two thousand men was formed a week ago for the purpose of avenging the Mahrattas, and plundering a couple of Meena villages not very far from camp : a service so congenial to Mahratta feelings, that Raja Desmookh, the heir of the state, marched himself at its head.
