I sent for him to tell me about the iron I had understood to be in the neighbourhood of Tanjore; but there is none, it is at Satara.

Mr. Aitken was born at Satara in the Bombay Presidency on August 16, 1851.

In the name of the Satara chief he was master of the whole coast from Bombay to Vingorla, with the exception of the Seedee's territory.

On the death of Aurungzeeb, Sahoojee regained his liberty, and was seated on the guddee of Satara.

It was reported that Conajee was preparing to march on Satara.

An accommodation was arrived at, by which Conajee agreed to acknowledge allegiance to Satara, in return for which he was confirmed in command of the fleet, with the title of Surkheil, and granted twenty-six forts and fortified places with their dependent villages.

Conajee was supported by the Satara arms, and the Seedee was forced to submit to the loss.

Thinking it politic to make peace with the English, while his affairs with the Rajah of Satara were still unsettled, he sent a messenger to Bombay, offering to deliver up all vessels, goods, and captives taken from the Company, if an Englishman of credit was sent to him to settle on terms of peace for the future.

And so for a time there was security from Angria's attacks, but, with his hands free on the Satara side, and in a more secure position than ever, it was not likely that the peace would be of long continuance.

From the Rajah of Satara he obtained confirmation of the articles agreed on by Sivajee, a grant for the establishment of factories at Cuddalore and Thevenapatam, an exemption from duties in the Carnatic, and the payment of twelve thousand pagodas in compensation for losses sustained at different places formerly plundered by the Mahrattas.

The Peishwa had shaken off his allegiance to Satara, and his armies were making his authority felt all over Hindostan and the Deccan; while Mahratta rule was being established in Guzerat by the Gaicowar.

Ballajee Bajee Rao was obliged to return to Satara, and Sumbhajee was allowed to retreat, after making peace with the Mahrattas.

The new Peishwa had his hands full at Satara.

According to Orme, Toolajee had cut off the noses of the agents sent by the Peishwa to demand the tribute formerly paid to Satara.

Satara, Sahoojee proclaimed at; Conajee Angria's relations with; the Rajah of, treats with Keigwin.
