FAST INDMS. CALCUTTA, OCTOBER is. Tt is noticeable that the latea European advice. that have at prefent reached either Bombay, Madras, or Calcutta, ore thofe received via America. We have been furnithed with a immber of New South Wales papers, brought from Sydney, by Cap tain Forret ; we have copied into this day's paper, a few articles of intelligence. The crops of wheat and maize, in the different fettlements in New South Wales, had (offered confi derable damage from unufually heavy and long con tinued rains, which canting the river to overflow, the country, in many difiridts, was completely in undated. Tip-pa-he, one of the principal Chiefs of New Zealand, with five of his Inns, made a voyage to Sydney, to pay a vilit of refpeft to Governor King He was received with every mark of attention by the Government, and by the Ladies and Officers of the fettlement. His Majetty's brig, the Lady Nelfon, was fitted up for the accommodation of 'lip pa-he ; and, after remaining two or three months with Governor King, he embarked on board the Lady Nelfon, on his return fur New Zealand , in March or April lark, loaded with prefents from the Government, and the eifferent families in Sydney. The Chief was overwhelmed with gratitude for the attention and numerous favours he received ; and would carry to his native land a very favourable impreffion of the Blitifh charaCier, which, in the fcquel, may be productive of much national good ; f in that re mote, and hitherto little frequented region, we can difcern new f,urces of wealth and maritime prof pet-4y opened to the enterptifing fons of Great B.itain. A whale fifhery has been recently eflablifhed on the coatis of New Zealand, and ptomifes fpeedily to rife to great importance. An intercourfe has been opened with the natives on the fea fhores, who are reprefented as much more docile than when firli Uncovered. Ntatoes, and many other ufeful Euro pean vegetables, intraduced among them of late years, by fome of the Englifh fhipc, are found to thrive afloniffiingly ; and the natives, contrary to expectation, are attentive to their cultivation, and already raife confiderable quantities for their cwn fupply. DEC. to.—The official notification of the death of the King of Delhi, arrived on Saturday laft, at cne o'clock, when a funeral falute was fired from Fort William, according to the ufual form, in minute guns, extending to 78, being the number of years of age obtained by the deceafed King. A royal falute fucceeded, in commemoration of the acceffion of Ackber Shaw, fecond fon of Shaw Albin), to the throne of Delhi. The demife of the late King of Hindoftan, and the immediate fucceffien to the throne, have occa finned no tumult or commotion. F tir troops of cavalry matched from Allyghur for Delhi, (non after the receipt of the intelligence. The lately deceafed King pc:Oared an energetic mind, through irtefulme, indolent, and unfortunately' prone to yield to the courifels of others. When flit lowing his own unbiafTed judgment, Shaw Allum uniformly evinced himfelf the friend and faithful ally of the Englith Government; and it was from this Prince, that, in 1765, Lord Clive obtained the &mann, conllituting the Edit lndia•Company per petual Dewan of the great and opulent countries of Bengal, Behar, and Orifra.—The misfortunes that attended Shaw Allum, fuhfequently to that event, and the ill advifed meafure of quitting Allahabad, were to be attributed entirely to the influence rtfl Maltratta Counfels. The revolution effected by Golloud Mahommed, in 1793, when the uttfortu nate King was inhumanly deprived of his eyes, muft be frellt in the memory of the majority of our readers. It is confolatory to reflzet that this Prince, a lineal defcendant of the Houfe of Tamur, after a feries cf years, ignotninioufly palled under the cantroul of a foreign power, was reamed to independence, by the, juliice and valour of that nation, to whole fuccefsful eliablithment in Hindoit:n he had !linden fa fully contributed. degree exhaufled itfelf, but the loft accounts unfortu• nately prove that the hope was fallacious, and that even when the Tit SSE us came away, farther mifchief was apprehended. It appears that in almon all cares, where parties have furvived the tiro attack of the difeafe, their lungs have fuller ed from the vio lence of its operation ; and are now fa debilitated and confumptive, that little hope is ewe' tained of their recovery. The mortality has been moll among the refpeft able inhabitants of the ifland, and more fatal in St. James's Valley, than in the thinly inhabited parts of the country. Among the perfons who have fallen vietims to the difeaft, we are lorry to enumerate Mrs. Bazett, Mrs. John des Fountaine, Mrs. Samuel de Foam taint, Mrs. James de Formulae, Mrs. Shirtley, fen. Mrs. Seale, fen. Mrs. Alefworth, and her Sifter, Major Shirtley, Mr. Stephen Pritchard, Mr. James Mafon, Mrs. Pritchard, fen. Mrs. Good win. Mrs. Beale, Mrs. Bagley, fen.

Eons. We are concerned to add, that Mifs Macon, Mr. Ballet, and Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel Dufton, were very ill when our accounts left the Maud. WEST INDIES.

DREADFUL EPIIILMIC DISEASE AT ST. HELENA. - - Letters received from St. Helena, by his Nlajelly'r (hip Theseus, WEiCil left that Mallet the 15th of April, bring t account of the intioduCtion of a dreadful fpecies of me•tfl!s among the inhabitants — a diforder which was never known before on that ifland, and which has now proved f,:tal te one third of its popolati•tn. It appears to have been brought from the Cape of Good Hope, where it had occafioned fimilar rava ges, by flme perfons of the fleet that touched at St. Helena in February lull. It was known on the Mind that the diforder prevailed in the fleet, and every poi fible precaution was obferved, by keeping the vefrels as much in a !late of quarantine as the nzture of citcumttances would pet mit ; but, from the milcon chid and Itme of gain of f• me of the boater dares, an in-etcourfe took place between the fhtps and the fh re ; !ken was received to be wanted, .And the dd . - order fmn et mmunicated irk!f to the inhabitants of St. James's Valley, whence it fpread over the whole Mind. This centnion WI appeared about the ph or 6th of Febt miry, in the families of Major Seale, and Mt b. Chambet lain. It was attended in almal all cafes with acute febrile fymproms and confiderable malig nity ; the diarrheas welt very frequent at the cicfe of the chleale, fume of them obltinate, and many fa tal. Although the dent nt9ive enters of this coma gion wet e not ti be wondered at, when confidered as alleeting the whole community at once, nor remark • able when contralled with its greater mortality at the Cape it occafioned a general depteflion of Ipirtts, and a general mourning at St. Helena, for i.n houfe t u the island efcaped the virulence of the diforder. The calls for the attendance on the tick were In ncellant, that it was herind the compels of the ex . erti tos of the Medical Gentlemen on the ifland to aufwer them all. 1)r.
