Capital Alwur,* S.

"The "emperors had likewise kept Aloor, a country very fertile "in mines, and not at a great distance from Mattra. On } "those mountains there is another distinct nation called "Mina, whose most splendid quality is that they excel all "others in stealing, and we are assured that they are the "most dexterous pilferers of India. They are capable of "carrying off a horse or a prisoner from the most vigilant "guard. All these countries produce infinite quantities "of cattle, in which their principal trade consists. "The richest, most agreeable, and most commodious place in those parts is the plain or valley of Tannagasi, two leagues in length and one in breadth, which contains "now seventeen mines that are opened, and as they are "well explored, they may be reckoned to produce a crore "of rupees annually. The province of Aloar is dependant "on Jypoor, or should be. It is in general as fertile in "mines as the other, and is rich; but the little province 8th. Joudpoor, whofe ruler is called the Rhathore Rajah and Marwar Rajah. He is a "of Tannagasi, which is subject to Aloar, is really the most substantial part. Tannagasi lies at only four days "small journies from Mattra. The capital and only town "bears the same name. It is pretty large, trades consi"derably, and is situated at the foot of a mountain, on "which there is a fort, with some pieces of artillery. In "1780 and 1781, a Frenchman commanding the artillery "of Nadjifkan undermined this garrison; but it surren"dered before the mine was sprung. "If the English chose to seize on Aloar and Tannagasi,, "their army, which I suppose to be encamped at Mattra, "must march to Deeg in a single day. Proceeding thence they should leave Aloa ten English miles to the right: they would find no opposition hitherto. It is only at "Sakmin Ghur that we find a fort, which commands the ❝plain that leads to a pass on the road to Tannagasi. At "that pass there is another small fort; and both together "could not hold out twenty-four hours against an attack "in form. Tannagasi is the terrestrial paradise of that country: it is there that decent employment would be ❝ found for two hundred individuals of the English nation; "and, aided by two battalions, they would be enabled to "explore peaceably all its mines, and make them produce "sixty lacks of rupees, clear of all expences, in each year: "but in the case two redoubts should be constructed on "the two banks of the Jumna to protect the passage-boats "for merchandize and minerals, they might send from "Tannagasi, escorted by a company of the battalions that Rhathore Rajepoot of the purest and most ancient blood of the Rajepoots.
