MONTHLY EPITOME,

FOR DECEMBER, 1802.

[blocks in formation]

"Having spoken of the ministers of the court of Lucknow, I must say something of the private life of its prince; and I must acknowledge, that though I had frequent opportunities of conversing with Assof-ud-Dowla, and of examining his behaviour, he did not appear destitute of sense. This, after all, is nothing but what has been said in former times by the famous teacher of wisdom, in his renowned Mesnevi- The hawk's keen sight, and his strength of pinion, as well as the genius of man, are all so many gracious gifts of the Almighty ⚫ artist upon his own work.'

"Assof-ud-Dowla took delight in associating with the lowest and most worthless characters, though you might occasionally see him in conversation with men of birth and taJents. He seemed occupied entirely with his amusements; in dances, music, and sensual pleasures, he spent his time, without the least regard to decency, and without any sense of shame. As to those infamous secret practices to which he had the meanness to addict himself, without either scruple or remorse, and with such a feminine ardour, he disguised them so well in his discourses, and in his public behaviour, that he might have

been supposed quite unacquainted

with that abominable vice.
been remarked that he would some-
times throw his handkerchief to the
stoutest of his musketeers, or to the
brawniest of his archers.

He spent his mornings in going from garden to garden, and from seat to seat, where he amused himself in

looking at his elephants, and every third day he made them fight together. These amusements were so delightful to him, that they engrossed his whole soul. There was, however, another thing in which he seemed to take pleasure; this was promoting marriages. Salar-Jung, his uncle, had promised one of his daughters to Mukhtar-ed-Dowlah, for his son, but the match had been broken off by the disgrace and subsequent death of the latter. Assof-ud-Dowla being informed of this circumstance, prevailed on the bride's father, by dint of intreaties, to go on with the match; and he likewise undertook to furnishi the whole expence of the ceremony, which he accordingly did, and conducted the whole with vast pomp and magnificence. He had such a singular predilection for amusing himself in this way, that whenever he heard of a marriage being intended, he would send his compliments to the parents, requesting their permission to perform the part of one of them himself, and to appoint one of his courtiers to perform the part of the other; nor would he give over his attendance until the match was brought to a final conclusion. He once undertook the marriage of Caïm Khan, superintendant of his elephants; and I happening to be present at the time, received his highness's com

4 T

mands to attend personally and perform my part.

"As Assof-ud-Dowla was addicted to pleasures which none but women could have thought of, so he had also the fickleness of a woman. Amongst the slave boys brought up in in Sujahud-Dowla's house, there was one called Imaum Baksh, of a quarrelsome disposition and very bad morals. Whilst Assof-ud-Dowla was yet a youth, that fellow became one of his favourites, in respect of that particular propensity to which he was a slave. But the old nabob being informed of the connection that subsisted between his son and his slave boy, as well as of the perpetual insolencies and excesses which the latter committed on account of the favour he enjoyed, he ordered him to be confined in irons, in which he would probably have long remained, had not some principal courtiers supplicated his highness to dismiss and banish him, a request which was granted. The man fled to Tanda, where he kept himself concealed, but where he found means to keep up a correspondence with his young master, who, on the death of his father, and his consequent accession to the musnud, immediately sent him letters of recal, To the amazement of every one, he appointed him to high offices: and as by the death of Mukhtar-udDowla, and the resignation of Mahbub Khan, there were several bodies of Telingas left without commanders, amounting to about 30 or 40,000 men, he gave him the command of that whole army. A promotion altogether so unmerited, and the elevation of so mean and worthless a man to a situation of so much dignity and honour, could not but excite the indig. nation and contempt not only of every officer of the army, but of every person in his dominions. By these means this slave boy was raised to a degree of power, to which the ambition of no commander of the army, and no grandee of the court, had ever before aspired. I remember to have been several times in his company, and to have had some conversation with him, and I protest I never saw any one so vile and so vicious: I never knew any one so destitute of all shame both in words and actions. Had he been honest, and free from vice, the qualities of his mind might

perhaps have fitted him for the sta tion of a menial servant at two rupees per month. Yet this man's favour and power rose to such a height, that no less a person than Hassan Rezza Khan, the minister, was afraid of his influence, and strove to be upon good terms with him. But when he had thus arrived at the summit of so much power and grandeur, Assof-ud-Dowla's heart all at once changed towards him; and a few days after my departure from Lucknow, became so tired of his company and person, that he ordered him to be banished his dominions, half naked and on foot, strictly forbidding every one to supply his wants. Guards were sent to his lodgings, and his whole property was confiscated.

"By confiscations like this, as well as by various other means, Assofud-Dowla must have amassed considerable treasures; yet he betrayed the utmost aversion at parting with any of his money, except to pay his favourite men and boys. Whenever any one besides was bold enough to apply to him for his pay, he from that moment became his enemy; not could he ever bear to hear of any demands of this sort. Some time before my arrival at Lucknow, several officers and others had gone to the nabob in a body, and solicited, and received their arrears of pay. Many of these, knowing the character of Assof-ud-Dowla, had the prudence immediately to disappear; but some others having ventured to remain a short time at Lucknow, were all seized, without any cause being assigned for such a step, and tied, one by one, to the mouth of a cannon, from which they were blown away. This dread. ful execution happened during my stay in Lucknow : It alarmed all the inhabitants, not only of that city, but of the surrounding country; so that in a few days afterwards the Ghosain Takyr, a military commander of a high character, seizing a favourable moment, quitted the camp, and with his arms and baggage proceeded across the country to Nedjif Khan, to whom he offered his services. the saine manner all the descendants and relations of Saadut Khan and Abul Mansur Khan, found means, one after another, to quit Lucknow, and to repair to Nedjif Khan's camp." p. 32-34. 32-34.
