in Hindustan, a town in the native state of Bharapore, situate amidst numerous marshes and small lakes, fed by a stream called the Manas Nye. In 1760 this place was occupied and strongly fortified by Soorag Mull, the rajah of the Jauts. In 1776 it was taken from that tribe by Nujuff Khan, the powerful minister of Shah Alum, emperior of Delhi, after a siege of twelve months, but was soon afterwards restored to them. It was under the walls of this town that the Mahratta army, commanded by Holkar, sustained a defeat on the 13th November 1804 from a British force under the command of General Fraser. Upon this occasion the Jauts of Deeg having treacherously opened a fire of musketry and cannon on the victors, siege was laid to the fortress by Lord Lake on the 16th December following, and this celebrated stronghold, previously supposed to be impregnable, was carried by storm on the 28th of the same month. At the conclusion of peace, it was restored to the Rajah Runjeet Sing. After the capture of Bharapore by Lord Combermere in 1826, Deeg surrendered without resistance, and having been dismantled was delivered over to the new Rajah by the British who had placed him upon the throne of Bharapore.
