The house of the killahdar is said to be a hand- some building, enclosed by a large virandft. Oh the very top is a brass twenty-four pounder, and near it is the flag of the Nizam. At a distance of about three thousand yards from the insulated hill are two ranges of hills. Within the subterranean passage mentioned, are recesses excavated as store-* rooms, llie fortress at present m
...ounts but few guns. Dowlutabad has always been thought by the natives impregnable, and doubtless it is against the Asiatic mode of warfare. Our system of mili- tary tactics and operations has put these hill*forti out of fashion.

When I passed by Dowlutabad, in these, comparatively speaking, peaceable times, the family of the killahdar (governor) were kept as hostages at Hyderabad.
