] COLONEL WELLESLEY. 163 the subject showed that he was at least not adverse to them, ) lay at this period entirely tinder the control of Scindiah. But Sciudiah, guided partly by his own prejudices, partly swayed by the counsels of his French officers, steadily resisted all approach to intimacy with the English; and the proposals which Lord Wellesley had esteemed it judicious to make were, for the present, rejected. The conse- quence was that the remaining portion of Tippoo's late dominions was... divided between the English and the Nizam ; and there were maintained between the courts of Poonah and Bengal only the common courtesies of states not positively at variance.
While these great events were in progress, a portion of the troops left to garrison the new provinces found employment under Colonel Wellesley, in following the course of Dhoondee Wahag, a freebooter, whose history, like that of Eastern adventurers in general, comprises a strange mixture of crimes and hardihood. A Mahratta by lineage, though born within the ter- ritory of Mysore, he performed his first military service under Bistnoo Pundit during the war against Hyder ; and became at its close the leader of an independent band which subsisted by plunder, and acknowledged no other law than that of force.
