-dhftan on'fhe north and eaft, and the ;Sinderic with its fupplemeotary
• provinces' „on the'/north and weft, may be ftyled Interior "Or Central
„ Hinctofthn'.* | *
In this arrangement the Gangetic part 'will include Bengal, Bahar,
Allahabad, Oude, Agra,- and a part of Delhi and Agimere. The Sin-
detic coptains Kiittore, Caflimir, Cabul, Candahar, Lahore, Moultan, and
Sinde.
\ The Central divifion reprefents Guzerat in the weft, with Candeifli,
Berar, Orifla, the Sircars, the chief part of Goleonda, Vifiapour, Dowla-
tabad, and .Concan.
The fouthern divifion includes :a fmall portion of Goleonda, My fore,
the exteniive region called in modern times the Carnatic, with Mad-ura,
and other fmallcr diftri&s, the weftern edaft being called that of Malabar,
and the eaftern that of Coromandel. In this paft- is naturally faj
. eluded the ifland of Ceylon.
The next topic to be -confidered, in a general view of Hlndbffah,-is its
political fituation as divided among various powers. ’,. Of. thefe-the Eng-?
lilh is at prefent preponderant* not only from European tadrics, but from
an a£tual extent of territory at leaft equal to that of any native power.
To our former , wide pofleffions in Gangetic Hindoftan, with a large
•portion of the eaftern coaft from below the eftuary of the Kiftna to the
lake of Chilka, and the detached government of Madras, have bpen recently
added exteniive regions in the fouth and weft of Myfore, with
Seringapatam the capital, not to mention Bombay, and other detached
eftabliftiments.. And the large and important ifland of Ceylon has been
wrefted from the Dutch.
Next in confequence are the Maratta ftates, chiefly contained in the
central divifion of Hindoftan.
The Nizam, orSoubah of the Deccan, our firm ally, has confiderably
enlarged his territory in the fouth at the expence of Tippoo; the central
part of whofe dominions, except Seringapatam, is fubjedt to the

new names and diyifions, the above partitions might be ftyled in native terms Gangeftan,' Sindef-
tan, while Deccan might be confined to the fouthern part, and fome native word applied- to the
middle or centrical divifion.
