The English, siding with Travancore, attacked Tipu.
In 1790, Tipu defeated the English under General Meadows.
In 1791, Cornwallis took the leadership and at the head of a large army marched through Ambur and Vellore to Bangalore (captured in March 1791) and from there to Seringapatam.
Coimbatore fell to them, but they lost it again.
At last, with the support of the Marathas and the Nizam, the English attacked Seringapatam for the second time.
Tipu offered serious opposition, but the odds were against him.
Consequently, he had to pay heavily under the Treaty of Seringapatam.
Under this treaty of 1792, nearly half of the Mysorean territory was taken over by the victors.
Baramahal, Dindigul and Malabar went to the English.
The Marathas got the regions surrounding the Tungabhadra and its tributaries.
The Nizam acquired the areas from the Krishna to beyond the Pennar.
A war damage of three crore rupees was also taken from Tipu.
Half of the war indemnity was to be paid immediately while the rest was to be given in installments, for which Tipu’s two sons were taken as hostages by the English.
