have excited a general mutiny was concealed by the ability, the good conduct, and dexterity
of Major Calliaud for seven days together, till he led the army out of the place of danger.
Thus a judgment fell upon one of the (innocent) murderers in the scene of the Three Seals.
This man, who was probably guilty in his conscience as well as in act, thus fell by that most
lucky, providential, and most useful flash of lightning.
There were at that time, it seems, in Calcutta, a wicked, skeptical set of people, who
somehow or other believed that human agency was concerned in this elective flash, which
came so very opportunely, and which was a favor so thankfully acknowledged. These
wicked, ill-natured skeptics disseminated reports (which I am sure I do not mean to charge
or prove, leaving the effect of them to you) very dishonorable, I believe, to Cossim Ali
Khân in the business, and to some Englishmen who were concerned.
The difficulty of getting rid of Meeran being thus removed, Mr. Vansittart comes upon the
scene. I verily believe he was a man of good intentions, and rather debauched by that
amazing flood of iniquity which prevailed at that time, or hurried and carried away with it.
In a few days he sent for Major Calliaud. All his objections vanish in an instant: like that
flash of lightning, everything is instant. The Major agrees to perform his part. They send for
Cossim Ali Khân and Mr. Hastings; they open a treaty and conclude it with him, leaving the
management of it to two persons, Mr. Holwell and another person, whom we have heard of,
an Armenian, called Coja Petruse, who afterwards played his part in another illustrious
scene. By this Petruse and Mr. Holwell the matter is settled. The moment Mr. Holwell is
raised to be a Secretary of State, the revolution is accomplished. By it Cossim Ali Khân is
to have the lieutenancy at present, and the succession. Everything is put into his hands, and
he is to make for it large concessions, which you will hear of afterwards, to the Company.
