November 10th.—The Rajah of Amethie rode stealthily out of his fort last night, and hid himself in a house in a village close to us, sending over word to Major Barrow that he would come in and surrender to the Lord Sahib. I suspect a good many more in addition to the Rajah came out of the fort stealthily last night. At 10 o'clock he made his appearance in the camp, accompanied by Major Barrow and Colonel Stirling, who went over to the village to meet him. He is not an ill-favoured man, though the expression of his eyes and mouth is not good; but he was evidently ill at ease, and he was particularly disconcerted by being thrown from his horse ere he arrived in camp, in consequence of the animal shying at a vulture which had risen from a carcase before it. This was an evil omen. I went into Barrow's tent, where the Rajah was seated, and it was observed that he had not taken off his slippers on crossing the threshold. He told Barrow that he could not answer for the sepoys giving up; but he was in hopes that his own people would be strong enough to force them to submit.
