The following eitracts from the Caloritta Mirror of the '2Bth ultimo contain the latest intelligence from the arm./ in the field: Letters from head-quarters, the 15th J: u : • convey the agreeable news that Sir William has fallea•ia with Cheetoo's Durrah, and .cut them up in great style. Cheetoo himself made his gscape, with aboat a dozen followers, and threw Ilims..tfiam a small village near Jaml. It is sail that Capj,in Caulfield, who is with Juswant Row Bow was going to surround the village and seize the Chid. " Major-General Brown, according to the same 'eters, surprised some of the refractory Chiefs of II(11- kar's a:my and a rabble of fellows at Rampoora, and cut th up. Roshun Beg lost three of his fingers in the fray, tot contrived to make his escape ; three hundred of folowers were sabred, and a number, of camels and horses taken. The surprise was com plete, and so astonished were the fellows, that they did not contrive to wound a single man of ours. It • only remains now that we get hold of the perfidious Peishwa. The power of the Pindarees seems almost isitiihilated by one short and brilliant campaign, and the subjugation of the Statei that protected them pro mises every security ;against their future,depvdations. 'lt is said that a good deal of booty fails to the army under General Sir ) W. Keir." " Camp near Oachar. January IS. " We had all regarded hunting down the,Pinda • tees as a very hopeless usk ; bat we have just heard that Sir William Keir has completely routed and dis persed that, portion of them under Cheetoo. / can not tell you where, and must confess myself extremely deficient in a knowledge of the distribution of our troops ; but in this respect I ant not much worse off than my neighbours here. I can procure no infor mation from them. Cheetoo himself has barely escaped; he has only about a dozen followers mound him, and is within a few toss of our troops. All their baggage is taken, and some say this includes no less than fifty lacs of rupees. We fired a royal salute two days ago, on the ratification of the Treaty with Holkar.—General Watson is now in command of this division. His own brigade is broke up and incorpo rated with the others. The Ysth regiment, one of his battalions, are still encamped considerably to onr left, but are almost quite well. The 7th, the other battalion, is alongside of our brigade, which forms tire left of the line. It was dysentery, not the cholera that appeared among them, and is attributed to forced marches, bad water, ill-cooked victuals, and want of warm clothing." MADRAS. FEBRUbRY si. The following details respecting the operations of oar armies are given in the Cakutia Mirror " Our letters from camp, since our last ) confirm the account of the total destraction of the only un broken durrah of Pindarees, under Cheetoo, who at the date of the latest accounts was skulking, with' ordy nine attendants, in the neighbourhood of Jow had ; and as Captain Caulfield had set off in pursuit, some hope was entertained that his person would be secured. The remains of the durrahs under Wa,tel Nahumed and Khurreem Khan have also, after se viral ineffectual attempts to escape, been nearly mi.., sihilated by the divisions under General Marshall' and Colonel Adams ; and the rebellious part of 1101- kits army have, in all likelihood. been dispersed be fore this time, as Colonel Adams had been ordered tsi march to gamp4or and attack Roshun Re 's Weeps, who were occupying a strong position in the atighboarhond of that place. This Chief's force it said to consist of seven battalions, some thousand, horses, and sixteen guns. It is expected they will make great resistance. The only Mahratta force that' ' remains unbroken is that under Ameer Khan's Sir date, who, like those of the Nagpore Rajah, do not appear disposed to abide by the arrangements made by their Chiefs but as Sir David Ochterlony is said us have marched to attack them, we may every day look for accounts of their defeat and submission, and with these we may almost consider the campaign on this side of India as at an end." " Camp near Ooebar, Sanual , la. 6 4 An officer and party of ours left the camp this morning, as an escort to an officer said to be bring ing the treaty with Hoikar, who is to subsidize 3000 of our troops, which it is reported are to be ful nished by Bengal, and die number of his own is very consi derably limited. His whole revenue is not to exceed seventeen Lees of rupees. No further accounts of the l'eishwa or Nagpore 113jaalt. I have seen various pri vate letters :ci;arding the attack of the latter, all of which represent it to have been a most desperate business on our past. A General Order was pub lished yesterday, thanking Colonel Nlacmorine, and the trcx)ps under his command, fur their gallant be haviour at Nagpore, or rather Serinaghur. General Brown ' by the bye, has also been killing and slaying. Ile had heard that a body of Mahrattas (Holkar's kieoplel were seeking safety in some village in his way. erai roads led from it ; he posted on esichoethese a party of the 3si cavalry, and made . adash himself with another party at the village, and . succeeded in cutting off the piper devils."

Among the slain was Nemdar Khan, who was cohsidered the very life of the party. Ge neral grown has come upon Roshun Beg, who was in rebellion against Volker, at Ranspoor, and taken eleven guns, besides doing considerable damage to the rest of his force. We also hear that Sir William Keir. with the Bombay army, has fallen in with cheetoo, and completely annihilated his durrah, not h6wever, without some resistance.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER IN SIR TUOMAS lIISLOP'S ARMY. " Camp, lAlahldpecr, Dec. 04, " DEAR COLONEL—My last letter to you was written at Nandeir, about the middle of October, and 1 promised to write again when I should have any thing interesting to tell you. I did not think at. that time I should have it in my power to give you ; an account of a regular battle with Holkar s army;' a very decisive oac, however, was fought upon this .ground on the '2lst instant. You will, no doubt,l hear of the event before this reaches you ; but I mayj as ivell give you a few particulars, which I know youl will consider interesting. We heard at Ongein that; Htilkar's. camp was strongly posted here, with a great many guni and infantry. We made a march of eight miles, which brought us within 16 miles of the pod don,. when a Vakeel, after a good deal of correspon dence, Was sent to our camp. Great objections, (however, were offered to all the proposals made, under the instructions of the Governor-General ; and it was always alleged by the Bhai, that though she wished for peace with the English, some of her chiefs and troops, who wore in a mutinous state, had re solved upon fighting. " Six days of fruitless negotiations having passed, we made another short march on the 20th, and at ten o'clock in the morning of the 21st instant We were in sight of the enemy's position. Some skirmishing took place about this time between some of our light in fantry, and a few scattered parties of the enemy's horse ; and many still continued to believe that there' would be no battle. As we approached nearer, how ever, a cannonade was opened upon us from the ene my's line, which was on the opposite side of the Sip pa; al) river, and a disposition was immediately made for crossing in their front. The whole of the fine of the cannon was immediately directed to the ford ; hut the troops passed under cover of a few pieces of light artillery, with.little loss. considering the nature of the fire, which was extremely well-directed; in deed, it is impossible that any guns could have ben better served than those of the enemy ; and the numtar roan that were killed and wounded in taking them affords the most convincing proof that their Golunelaute did their duty with a rengeante-:- ahout seven hundred and sixty men having Wen killed and wounded, and most of the enemy s artil lery were killed at theit guns. The liattle begs" about half-past twelve o'clock. The guns were taken and the infantry disperssd, in the course of about two hours and a half, and the whole of their arm* was driven off the field by four o'clock. Or a lies after. When the charge had continued for absat two miles and a half, the enemy opened more gins upon us; but these having been taken in flank by some of our horse-artillery, were soon abandimed ' and there are now about sixty-two guns in our park, the fruits of the victory ; a few more are said to have , been thrown into the river, but have not yet been found. Had the enemy's cavalry and infantry be haved like their artillery, the labours of the day would not have been finished so soon, nor, perhaps, so completely'as has been the case; but the former (the cavalry) did nothing, and the infantry deserted the artillery at the moment of need." hopes 6: corn fa:ling in want Maccitiartio, and we continued upon the same course, oc:asioitally in cliniitg. to the Eastward, until the 19111, Fassilig throu;h a fine luxuriant country well w (tined, nos sing in that space of time nine streams, .a northerly course through rich vallies, the =limy in every direction being moderatoly high and open, and generally as fine as can be imagined. " No doubt remained upon our minds that those streams fell into the Macquarric, and to view it be fore it received such an accession was our first wish. On the 19th we wete gratified by falling in with st' river running through a most beautiful country, and which I should have been well contented to have be lieved the river we were in seardi of. AceiMat led us down this stream about a n.ile, when we were surprixed by I:s junction with a river coming from the south, f.i ssich width and magnitude as to dispel all doubts as to this last being the river we had so long anxiously looked for. Short as our resources were, we could not resist the temptation this beauti ful country offered us, to remain two days on the junction of the rivers, for the purpose of examining the vicinity to as great an extent as p ssible. " Our examination increased the satisfaction we had previously felt ; as far as the eye could reach in every direction, a rich and picturesque country ex tended, abounding in limestone, slate, goad timber, and every other requisite that could render an uncul tivated country desirable. The soil cannot be excel led ; whilst a noble river of Me first magnitude af forded the memo of conveying its productions from :one part to the other. Where I quitted it its course was northerly, and we were then north of the paral lel of Port Stephens, being in latitude 32 deg. 45 min. 8. and 148 deg. 58 min. E. longitude: The course and direction of this river is to be the object of an early expedition. FLANDERS MAIL. CAAIBIIAY. JUNE 60. The Duke of Wellington has given, under a mag nificent tent, a Grand Entertainment, at which his Highness the Prince of Hesse was present. His Grace had invited to this banquet several French Functio naries and General Officers, and a great number cf Ladies. At the end of the entertainment his Gracc drank the health of his Majesty Loiiis XVIII. and the Commissary General of Police drank that cf his Ineyal Highness the Prince Regent of England.— ' The company afterwards adjourned to the Garden, which was finely illuminated, and the dancing began. The fete continued till eleven o'clock.at night. BRUSSELS, JET.Y e. They write from the Hague that the plan of a new Civil Code will be laid to-day before the Council of State, and that his Majesty will preside in . person at the discussion. The Hanoverian troops, it is said, are going to erect in the field of Waterloo, at the very place where they distinguished themselves by their extraordinary bravery, a monument, which shall record to posterity their exploits on that me morable day. The execution of this monument is confided to a skilful artist: 10,000 francs will be employed on it. Afterwards will come the monument of our Sove reign, which will not be less distinguished than the others, and which will doubtless be placed at Quatre Bras, the real place where the victory of the 18th was decided beforehand by the courage of the Bel gians, under the conduct of the valiant, Prince of Orange. New barley has been sold in our market, and wa gers are laid that new rye will be brought in the next market. The fields from which the barley has been carried have been again ploughed, and some of them already planted with potatoes. The fields of Preach' Flanders, Picardy, and Artois, have not for many years offered the prospect of so rich a harvest. The vineyards of Champagne and Burgundy promise wines equal in quality to 1802, and exce..ding in quantity the produce of two common years. On the other hand, the French manufactures are recovering, and the number of workmen increases daily. NSW SOUTH friaSS. A discovery has been made in New South Wales, which must materially affect the future advancement of that colony. A river 1 the first magnitude has been found in the interior, running through a most beautiful country, rich in soil, limestone, slate, and § timber. A means of communication like dais, as been anxiously searched for without success, and many began to entertain an apprehension that the progress of colonization in New Holland would be confined to its coasts. Mr. Oxley, the Surveyor-General, was sent out with a party in an expedition to the westward of the Blue Mountains, to trace the course of the lately dis. covered river Lachlan, and to ascertain the soil, ca pabilities and productions of the country through which it was expected to pass in its course to the sea. Mr. Oxley left Bathurst on the 30th of April, 1817. Ile proceeded down the Lachlan until the 12th of May, the country rapidly descending until the waters of the river rose to a level with it, and dividing into numerous branches lost itself among. marshes. Mr. Oxley quitted the river on the 17th of May, taking a S.W. course towards Cape Northumberland. He continued this course until the 9th of June, when he was induced to change his course to North. On this course he continued till the 23d of June, when he again fell in with a stream, which he could with dif ficulty recognize as the Lachlan, it being little larger than one of the branches of it where it was quitted on the 17th of May. He kept along the banks of this sttearn till the Bth of July, when the whole coun try became a marsh altogether uninhabitable. This unyoked for and truly singular termination of a river, filled the party with the most painful sensa tions. 'They were full 500 miles west of Sydney, and nearly in its latitude ; and it had taken them tel weeks of unremitted exertion to proceed so far. Re turning down the Lachlan, he recommenced the sur vey of it from the point on which it was made the 23d of June. The connection with all the eoints of the survey previously ascertained, was completed be tween the 19th of July and the 3d of August. It was estimated that the river, from the place where first made by Mr. Evans, had run a course, taking all its windings, of upwards of 1200 miles, a length of course altogether unprecedented, considering that the origind is its only supply of water during that distance. " Crossing at this point," says Mr. Oxley, in his Report, *4 it was my intention to take a N.E. course .to intersect the country, and if possible ascertain what had become of the Macquarrie River, which it was clear had never joined the Lachlan. This course led us through a country to the full as bad as any we had yet seen, and equally devoid of water, the want of which again much distressed us. On the 7th of August the scene began .to change. and the country to assume a very different aspect ; we were now quitting the neighbourhood of the Lachlan, and had passed to the N.E. of the high range of hills which on this parallel bounds the low country to the north of that river. To the N.W. and N. the country was high and open, with good forest land ; and on the 10th we h;1 the satisfaction to fal iu wadi the first stream runulus northerly.
