B, inv uahr an extremely heavy fire, glacis and ditch, and ascended mth 1 breaches in the faufle brave and ram of the fort, surmounting in the mod H pi i'int manner' every obstacle which the of the pafT.ige and the resistance il < ir‘X"enemv presented to oppoi'e their 11° ‘Vefs. Major general Baird had divid- BPJ°Cj s force for the pnrpofe of clearing the |l'; n ; p ar:s to the right and left. One divi lilfon was commanded by colonel bher -11 brook e, the other by lieutenant colonel II Danlop, the latter was disabled in the U breach but both corps, although strongly I I O pposed, were completely fuccefsful. if p finance continued to be made from the HI _i ace of Tippo, for some time after all I I j^ n< , had ceaied from the works ; two II o fhi° tons were there, who on a durance I I offafety surrendered to the troops fur- II roan ding them ; and guards were placed I I for the protection of the family, mod: of f I whom were in the palace. It was soon f I re ported that Tippo Sultan had fallen. — If g ve( j Seheb, MeerSaduc, Syed Gofar, and 1 niaiiv other of his chiefs were al(o slain. I ivle.-dures were immediately adopted to I s to p the confufion at firft unavoidable in !. I a c ity strongly garrisoned, crowded with I inhabitants and their property, in ruins I from the fire of a numerous artillery, and t3 keii by aflault —The princes were remo ved to camp. It appeared to major general Baird so important to ascertain the fate of the Sul tan, that he caused immediate learch to be L made for his body, which, after much dif ficulty, was found late in the evening in one of the gates under a heap of slain, and I fyon after placed in the palace. The corpse was the next day recognized by the family, and interred, with the honors due to his rank, and in the mausoleum of his father. The strength of the fort is such, both from its natural position and the stupen dous works, by which it is surrounded, that all the exertions of the brave troops, who attacked it, in whose praise it is im poflibe to fay too much—were required to place it in our hands. Os the merits of the army I have exprefled my opinion in orders, a copy of which I have the honor to inclofe ; and I trust your lordship will point out their services to the favorable notice of their kingand country. I am sorry to add that on collecting the returns of our loss, it is found to have been much heavier, than I had at firft imagined. On the sth instant, Abdul Khalic, the elder of the princes, formerly hostages with lord Cornwallis, surrendered himfelf at our out pods, demanding protection.— Kerim Sehob, the brother of Tippo, had before fought refuge with Meer Alum Be hauder. A. Cowl Namah, was yesterday dispatched toFutteh Hyder, the eldest son of Tippo, inviting him to join,his brothers —-Pufneah and Meer Kummer odeen Khan have also been summoned to Seringapa tam ; no anfivers have yet been received, but I expeCt them shortly, as their fami lies are in the fort. This moment Ali Reza, formerly one of the vaztels from Tippo Sultan to lord Cornwallis, has arrived from Meer Kum mer odeen Khan, to ask my orders for 4000 horses, now under his command Ali Reza was commiflioned to declare that Meer Kummer odeen would make no conditions, but rely on the generosity of the English. Monsieur Chapuy and rnoft: of the French are prisoners ; they have commis sions from the French government. I have the honor. &c. (Signed) GEORGE HARRIS. June 29. The palace was then taken pofleffion of without opposition, and a search was made for Tippo in vain, every where, excepting the Zenaldt, which was sur rounded by troops to prevent his escape if he was in it. One of the attendants in the palace, at lad, on being severely threa tened, told the general that the sultan was killed in attempting to escape through the northern sally ports, and according con ducted them to the spot where the sultan’s body was found under a heap of some hundreds slain as before dated. A letter from Seringapatam dated 26th May mentions, that of the jewels not a bove 6 or 7 tacks of pagodas worth had been then valued ; and as to the mer chandize, viz. muftin shawls, and various rich cloths, they were reckoned at the en ormous amount of 500 camel’s loads. The sultan’s throne being too unwieldy to carry had been broken up ; it was a how dar upon a tyger covered with a sheet of gold ; the afeent to it was by fiiver deps, gilt, having silver nails and all the other fadenings of the fame metals. The cano py was alike superb and decorated with a costly fringe of fine pearls around it. The eyes and teeth of the tyger were of glass. It was valued at 60,000 pagodas. It was laid that a dividend to the value of about a million derling would soon be made ; part of it to of 17 lacks of pa godas in cash, the red in jewels; a com mittee had been appointed for the arrange ment of it. Other advices from Seringapatam, dated the 17th of May, mention that in break ing up the throne, which its bulk and weight rendered neceflarv, the sheet of gold with which it was covered was found to weigh 40,000 pagodas ; the silver work about it, the supporters of the canopy and the fringe of pearls which went round it, were valued at 10,000 pagodas more. E very inch of the howdar contained an Ar abic sentence, chiefly from the Koran, su perbly damped, being raised and polished in the mod beautiful manner. A gold figure ofa bird, covered over with the mod precious dones, was ferewed into the roof of the canopy ; its beak is a large emerald ; its eyes carbuncles ; the bread covered with diamonds, and the wings, which are expanded as if hovering, completely lined with diamonds ; on the back are many large jewels well and fancifully difpoled ; the tail, which refemblesa peacock’s, is al so studded in the fame manner ; the whole so arranged as to imitate the plumage, and so closely set that the gold is icarce vilible.
