These followed them as far as the banks of the Jumna, and great numbers of the enemy lost their lives in endeavouring to cross the river.
The British loss, in killed and wounded, was nearly six hundred men; while that of the enemy was estimated at two thousand.
Sixty-eight pieces of cannon, two waggons laden with treasure, and thirty-seven with ammunition fell into the hands of the victors who, on the 14th, crossed the Jumna, and took possession of the city without opposition; being welcomed enthusiastically by the population, who had long groaned under the terrible oppression of their Mahratta masters.
Two days later, General Lake paid a visit to the unfortunate emperor, who was now eighty-three years old.

He had been blinded by his brutal conquerors, and lived in a state of misery, and poverty, greater than that of any of the tillers of the fields of the wide empire over which he had once ruled.

He lived for another three years, and was succeeded by his son, Mirza Akbar.
Leaving a force at Delhi, General Lake marched southward, as the strong town of Agra was still in the possession of Scindia's troops.

He arrived before the city on the 4th of October and, in three days, had cut off their communication with the surrounding country; his cavalry being assisted by five thousand horse, sent by the Rajah of Bhurtpoor, who had, as soon as he heard of the fall of Alighur, hastened to enter into an alliance with the British.
The garrison was strong, and seven battalions of Scindia's regular infantry were encamped on the glacis, and held possession of the town.

The garrison, however, refused to admit them into the fort; as they had determined to share, among themselves, the large amount of treasure deposited there.
Inside the fort great confusion prevailed.
