CA LCU fTA. PROM THE INDIA GAZETTE Of JUNE 30. Much as the most of us have heard respecting the enterprising Chieftain, Runjeet Singh, we hope that it will not be unacceptable to our readers if we to-day occupy our usual space with a cursory notice of the Sovereign of Cashmere and his Court. He is quite a Napoleon in his way, and amongst his vassals and the little potentates around him, Inspires as much awe as the French Emperor did upon a larger scale; Like him, he is full of military ardour, and is considered a first-rate General. He resembles the alas- the leuer, 44 hod of loco fine.) some 41 east abroad.' prpelsoatio. strong p frpm th. oili THIS EVENING, THURSDAY.

He is, we need scarcely add, very ambitious ;but his ambition is tempered with prudence and expediency, and he dues out; disdain.lis teniag toad vice tram tbuse whose experience and station give thefts a claim to tender it. In his person, Kunjeet Singh is very.small, of a very arenuated.fignre, and nearly bent double; more by the toils, extraordinary exertinns, cares and respon.ibilities of his-chequered life, than by age. Though labouring tinder the misfortune of being blind of one eye, the el act of the small pox ; and of hating the more common marks of that ravaging disease all' over his face; yet the expression of his countenance is pleising, intelligent, and fall of energy. He is very inquisitive and quick in his manner, very cooversible, and very urbane. His Chiefs and those about him he treats with a degree of familiar kindness which it is agreeable to . eontemplate; and which is ®_i, on their part , by. a c orresponding senti ment of respectful avacliment,. begetting ail utensil be icing the very reverse of Asiatic cringing ; f.'s' they are proud f their Chief, and have confidence no less in his wisdom and good fortune than in his justice and anxiety for their interests.

Their pOwiler is very bact.arrd, after each vol. ley, some half a dozen men out of e4ch company are seen to fall into the rear, to rectify some irregularity io ammunition or musket. The native Officers wear bright yellow jackets and pantaloons, with half hoots. The men are very fine I..oCrig. t.ll, and 'stout, and all wear their beards. They - lay but little *stress on the word or idea ot carte, and make, accordingly, more valuable, at least more convenient, soldiers. Like semi. We people, they bake th:ic bread and Cook their meals ,as time and opputur.itf may admit of, and find the comfort accordingly of having their victuals ready when they come to the ground, after a long and fstigu'ng march —for they also carry a proportion of their rations always with them.

Indeed, altogether the Sikhs seem to be looked °por k in a mean light by the Stahasins aid high caste Hin doosos their habits arid tenets differ konsiderablY, as well as their outward form of warship.

The Sikhs do not worship idols, aid the chief code of their religion and laws ii contained, it it said, in a holy volume given to them byGoorooGavan. which is deposited in the huanunda, or ss divine templet" ilupjeet's body guard is a fine body of veierint... is his s elect and most favoured corps—and well doff: k merit his regard. •It amounts to about four thousand, men, and goes by the name of 'if Ohor Churrait or' horsemen. The character of this body associated ideas of a superior kind. It is composed of the descendants of all the noble and accient families of the Sikhs, sad for ms of itself quite a military aristscraiy. Each itr dividual possesses landed property of less or more ex tent. They receive no pay, but, on first entering the service, Rurjeet presents them with a horse, sword, and shield. Ile emphatically avows that he . is ides. tiooataly.aitached to this elite body, and the feeling Sllenn to he ;biceps end mut.ual. On every ocCtlinn their conduct has called loath warm applatuat Xenia their Chief. Whilst this valuable corps (strhicli x As far as we can understand, is a • kind of militia) was passing in review. Rurjeet mentioned' to,. the Gentlemen of the Briti-h Mission several anecdote's Cif their imam conduct and gallantry.. On a. particular' occasion, the safety of the army depended is a great degree upon throwing up a lase of circuits's& lation round the camp. Ilddars and cnolies were procurable, and theregolar troops evinced no disposis tion whatever to offer their services. There was even a murmur at its being proposed that they should assist irk such an emergern y. On understanding this,- and •atir necessity of the case, the Ghor-Churras tot matt caw& forward, and in a very shaft time completed thetrench.. On another occasion, when advancing to the conquest. of Cashmere, great difficulties presented themselves, and ptcorisior.s being scarce in advance, each man of the. army was directed to pack up stew dap' *applies, and carry thetas on 4th back, His ilindoostanee troops — Iris men of caste—indignantly declined to act, as they said, the pert of coolies. On seeing this, thiGhor-Churrae each canied eight days' pruvi.iuns for the general be nefit, and by this praiseworthy act secured the speedy ac complishment of their Chieftain's plans. Runjeet also mentioned another circumstance, of a more recent dice than the preceding. Being about to attack a /twang fort in a perfect desert, where there was not a drop of water within twenty miles of his position. except what was in possession of the hostile garrison, Runjeet halted fa; two days to determine what next should be done. At last some of the Ghor Churra Sirdars requested us kagar tint cause of the delay. The difficulty being explained. they retired, and presealy afterwards they brought a scroll, on which WAS wri ion their names as representatives r the whole of the Ghor Churras, assuring ltsanjeet that wii4ht move on with perfect safety, as each man had band himself by an oath (4 forfeiture of life) rh it not a Murmur should escape them on account of any psi. vation of water or provision, however extreme k might be. Runjeet immediately accepted their generous oder, and placing himself at their heal. they advanced with. out further loss of time; but luckily, when notler from the fort, on digging wells they found water, and speedily took the place by storm. 0,.e b rdy of these G! - -or-Ch arras was habited in bright yellow; another detachment, that had afew days before arrived from Cashmere, wort red, each torso fiaving a handsome shawl. M any of the saddles or the Gbor.' Chutras had silver peaks. Their arms were a sword, shield, matchlock, and digger. Oa the arrival of the Brit sh mission at Ansritsir, Ran. jeer, with that qoick and restless curiosity which is a promines.t feature of his character, on hearing that a Havildar's party bad preceded the e.cort, immediately wect in person to the place where the men bad pi qiieted.their horses, and put .several questions to the Huvildar as to the standing and reputation of his regiment; if they had ever been in Action ; if they had ever charged cavalry, , infantry, or guns; if the officers there in command of the troops under,taod the exercise well, He then particularly ciao mined each horse, and the , appointments of the men, and.baving exprtased himself much gratified, gave the- Native Commissioned Officer a present. and grid that he would very soon have a review cf the troops.— Not long afterwards, a; the .tequest of the Maha Rajah, the troop and company, that composed the mission escort, weld eeverally. iosnerted by his High. nest, %Pico appeared quite 4eli t tlited with the me cca mow of the poops especially those of the cavajrl, who, among.otbes movements, made a charge, halting within ten paces of the Cisi,ftain andlos Nobles.
