Extract of a letter from Captain Macauley to Lieutenant-Colonel Kirkpatrick, dated 11th of May, 1799.

"This day the most important discoveries have been made in Tippoo's palace. Papers containing the correspondence between the Sultaun, Malartic, Sercey, Mengalon, and others, with originals and authenticated copies of Tippoo's proposals to the Islands and to the Directory of France, are now copying and will be forwarded as soon as possible to Lord Mornington."

Extracts from Tippoo Sultaun's Secret Correspondence with Zemaun Shah and the French, translated from the Original Authenticated Papers in the French and Persian Languages, found in Seringapatam after the storming of the fortress and death of the Sultaun.

These documents were in the Persian and the French languages were we to print the whole series they would occupy a large volume; a few extracts, however, will serve to explain the nature of their contents:

The original of these memorandums, and others which are omitted, were in Tippoo Sultaun's hand-writing, in the Persian language.

"Names of the three islands belonging to the English: Ireland-Guernsey-Jersey.

"On the English island there was once the Rajah of a tribe called Cosseea, a hundred years ago; the English Rajah put the Rajah of the Cosseeas to death and took possession of his country.*

QUESTION TO THE OFFICER OF GOVERNMENT.

"What negotiations and engagements shall be entered into with the French nation?

ANSWER.

"1st. The French troops and French commander to be under the orders of Khoodadaud+ Sircar, in military matters.-2ndly. After taking Cheenaputtun (Madras), it should be destroyed, and let the sea overwhelm it. From Pondicherry to Madras, territory yielding five lacs of rupees, to be given to the French; the remainder of the Cuddalore district to belong to the Khoodadaud Sircar. The fort of Ginjee also to be ceded to the French. The fort of Goa to belong to the Khoodadaud Sircar; Bombay to belong to the French.-3rdly. The army of the Khoodadaud Sircar to unite with that of the French in the conquest of Bengal.

"Such part of the territory of Bengal as may be conquered, to be equally divided between the Khoodadaud Sircar and the French.-4thly, The question of war and peace with the English, to be decided only by the mutual advice of the parties,-that is to say, the Khoodadaud Sircar and the French."

* The reader will smile at this version of English history : the word Cosseeas seems to have heen intended for Ecossais, Scotch ; and the Rajah for one of the kings of Scotland.

Literally, "God Given;" a title assumed by Tippoo.
