Have you looked for his Cheslea pension papers? They could provide a great deal of information.

If they survive, they may be amongst the India Office Papers in the Asia, Pacific and African Collection at the British Library. There are some for 1814 and some for 1816, but I can’t see anything in the online catalogue for that particular year.

Your best bet may be to email the BL reference enquiry team and ask. They are often slow to reply, but very helpful when they do ...
