		Tippoo Sultan had an army in the field, and either intended, or under terror was suspected of intending, a confederacy with the Mahrattas for the subjugation of the Nizam.

		The intercourse with Tippoo, during the administration of Sir John Shore, was bounded by the execution of the treaty of Seringapatam.

	Sword of Tipu Sultan to be auctioned in London
		A mysterious couple from Scotland has put on sale a historic sword that was stolen from the bedroom of Tipu Sultan, the Tiger of Mysore, during the storming of his capital Srirangapatnam (or Seringapatam, as the British called it) in 1799.
		Among the other treasures 'taken' by the forces under his command was a magnificent tiger's head adorned in gold leaf ("thick as a sheet of lead"), which was part of Tipu's throne, and a bejewelled bird of paradise. Both are now part of the queen's royal collection stored at Windsor Castle outside London.
		The sword, valued at up to £200,000, is of special significance because it is one of only six in existence and was the personal property of the sultan who is revered in India as a national hero for his gallant resistance of the British.

		THE engraving at the end of this article is an accurate representation of a strange toy or plaything, supposed to have been constructed for the amusement of Tippoo Sultan, sovereign of the Mysore, by some European artist at his court.
		It was found in the palace at Seringapatam after Tippoo's defeat and death, in 1799, in an apartment appropriated to the reception of musical instruments, and was presented to the museum of the East India Company by the army.
		In this case Tippoo would only have the credit of adopting the invention ready made, instead of that of originating the barbarous idea: at all events it appears certain that he was in the habit of enjoying the working of the machine.

		If then any danger to the English now accrued from Tippoo greater than the danger of 1792, it must be sought for in causes exterior to the condition and resources of the countries appertaining to each.
		If the want of allies increased the causes of their dread of Tippoo, it rendered them less able to fight with him, and therefore increased the motives to peace.
		If they were perfectly able to fight with him, notwithstanding the want of allies, this very circumstance proved, that they had nothing to apprehend from remaining at peace.

		Tippoo came forward with apparent gallantry to resist the assailants, and was afterwards taken from under a heap of slain.
		It is supposed he made this attempt in desperation, having just ordered the murder of twelve British soldiers, which he might well suppose would give him little chance of quarter, if his enemy were aware of the fact.
		The hardships he underwent on that occasion were extreme; yet, amidst all his sufferings, he never for a moment lost heart, or ceased to hope for a release.
