overawe Sindhia and Amír Khán; the Left or 3rd Division (General Marshall) at Kálinjar in Bundelkhand, to co-operate with the Southern Army on the Narbadá, and, supported by the two corps just mentioned, to communicate with Nágpur and to close the eastern exit of escape to the enemy; and the Reserve Division (Sir David Ochterlony) was concentrated somewhat later at Rewári, to cover Delhi and to act in Rájputána.
Owing to recent events in the Deccan a large number of troops had been employed there, and these when reinforced were formed into the Southern Army, which, organised into six divisions and having the Gujarát corps (under Sir William Keir) attached to it, amounted to 52.000 infantry, 18,000 cavalry, and 160 guns. The 1st and 3rd Divisions of the Army of the Deccan (under Sir T. Hislop and Sir J. Malcolm respectively) were to march from Jálna and Amráoti upon Handiá; the 2nd Division (General Doveton) was ordered to take up a position on the Pengangá, in support, and to cover the Nizám's dominions; the 4th Division (General Smith) was placed in the province of Khándesh on the Upper Godávari river, prolonging Doveton's line to the west and communicating with Gujarat; the 5th Division (Colonel Adams) was at Hoshangábád on the Narbadá; the troops engaged in enforcing the stipulations of the treaty of Poona in the south of the Peshwá's dominions were formed (16th November) into the Reserve Division under General Pritzler.
