V.--REVOLUTIONS IN FURRUCKABAD.
I. That a prince called Ahmed Khan was of a family amongst the most
distinguished in Hindostan, and of a nation famous through that empire
for its valor in acquiring, and its policy and prudence in well
governing the territories it had acquired, called the Patans, or
Afghans, of which the Rohillas were a branch. The said Ahmed Khan had
fixed his residence in the city of Furruckabad, and in the first wars
of this nation in India the said Ahmed Khan attached himself to the
Company against Sujah Dowlah, then an enemy, now a dependant on that
Company. Ahmed Khan, towards the close of his life, was dispossessed of
a large part of his dominions by the prevalence of the Mahratta power;
but his son, a minor, succeeded to his pretensions, and to the remainder
of his dominions. The Mahrattas were expelled by Sujah ul Dowlah, the
late Vizier, who, finding a want of the services of the son and
successor of Ahmed Khan, called Muzuffer Jung, did not only guaranty him
in the possession of what he then actually held, but engaged to restore
all the other territories which had been occupied by the Mahrattas; and
this was confirmed by repeated treaties and solemn oaths, by the late
Vizier and by the present.
