To his E:celcncy General Lake, Commander in Chief, dr.c. &c. " Sir—lt is with unbounded fatis:attion t have the honour to acquaint your Excellency, that the ftrong and hitherto called impregnable Hill Fort of Hin glais Ghur, was afraulted yeflerday at two o'clock. P.M. by a party from my detachment, compofed of the 21 b ovation zd regiment, 6 fix pounders, and a part of Lieut. LUCAS'S lindonany cavalry, the' whole under the command of Major SINCLAIR. This detachment left my camp at Soonorah on the evening of the ill, and arrived within a mite of the fort at half part ten on the morning of the zd, when from the exiling circumftance of Jefwunt Rao Holkar being within 22 cofs of my detachment, with the whole of his cavalry, brigades, and guns, and it being in the height of the rains, it became necetrary that no time fhould be 1011, and what can be done today fhould not be put off till to morrow. "The fort having been previoufly reconnoitred, and the troops having had three hours rell, it was deter mined to proceed to the affatilt, and at half pall two they arrived at the politions fixed upon. Being now &Covered by the enemy, a very heavy cannonade corn nenced from the fort, which, from the great ex pertnets of our artillery, was, in the courfe of an hour, completely filenced, and our troops then hav ing efcaladed the walls, took priffeftion of the place, and, which makes me extremely happy to add, with very little tors on our part, not having an officer ei ther killed or wounded. The garrifon confined of 300 cavalry and Soo infantry, commanded by Sham Rao Murray (the killedar of the place), who made his ercape through a (mall gateway on the calf fide of the fort, with other fugitives, many of whom were found killed and wounded in the surrounding jungles. The higheft praife is due to Major SINCLAIR, fur the judicious arrangement in planning the different at tacks, which confined of three, viz. himrell, with eight companies of the 2i regiment, and two fix.. pounders, attacked the gateway on the north fide, whilft Capt. HUTCHIRSON, from a riling ground on the well face of the fort, with four fix-pounders, and two (miller pieces, enfiladed the greaten part of the works, in which Captain iitrrcuirrsow evinced his profeflional knowledge in the molt gallant manner. " Lieutenant LUCAS, accompanied by Enfign BOYS a, with a company of the zd regiment, and the greateft part of his Hindollany bode (difmounted), attempted to enter a (mall gate on the welt fide of the fort, but finding it barricaded, were obliged to efcalade the wall, in which he was well fupported by Enfign BOYER. Lieutenant Lucas, in leading this attack, (hewed the greateft activity, and urmolt bra very. To Mar SINCLAIR. Captain HDTCNINSON, and to every o cer and (oldier who compofed this detachment, my warmeft acknowledgments are due, and whore conduit on this occafion, will, I troll, meet with your Excellency's approbation. to whom I beg to recommend them in the molt fervent manner. 44 The fort of Hinglais Ghur had been in poffef- Lon of Jefwunt Rao Holkar's family for this fifty years, and is confidered by the natives as one of the ftreogeft forts in his dominions ; it is furrounded by a deep . natural ravine 2yo feet in breadth, and moo in depth, the fides perpendicular, on the inner of which is built the walls of the fort ; there are alfo three made caufeways leading to the gates.

" Advice, have been received from his Excellency the Commander in Chief, dated the sth of Judy, en clofmg intelligence of the complete Cuccefs of Lieur. Col. MARTINDALS, commanding the troops in the province of Bundelcuad, againa a party of banditti under the orders of a Bundela Chief, named Rajah Rem Sing, and of the Nagaba. " By there advice. it appears, that on the t ft of July, Lieut. Col. MARTINDALS, with the detachment under his command, arrived at Mahebah ; and hav iag the pofition occupied by the Rajah Ram Sing and the Nagaba, determined to attack them on the morning of the ad. Lieut. Col. MAR; TINDAL, accordingly direCted Captains O'HALLORAN and Asotasow, with the brivdes of Meer Cullub Ally and Mahomed Jemaun khan, to move towards the banditti by the neareft road, while the detachment under his immediate command proceeded by a cir cuitous route through the bills. The pofition occu pied by Rajah Rem and the Nagabs was extremely ftrong, being fursounded by ranges of high rocks, which were lined by matchlock.:.en and rocket boys, who kept up a conflant fire upon the Bri t& troops as they advanced againit the ban ditti. Both attacks fucceeded completely, and the banditti were driven from the Ruing pofition which they occupied, with the h,fs of nearly the whole of their baggage, tents, camels, borfes, &c. which fell into the hands of Lieutenant-Colonel MARTINDALE'S detachment. Lieutenant• Colonel MAZTINDALS re ports, that the whole of the troops condufted them (elves to his entire fatisfaaiun ; and that the attack of the brigades under the command of Captains O'Hat.Lottas and Aran SON, were made with great . .skill and gallantry. Lieutenant-WC/11d MARTIN *ALS alto mention's, in terms of approbation, the c ondo& of Captain Waasoa, who, with (our corn. I panics of the ift Battaitois of the 18th Regiment, ' USN ordered to ic our the hills, which were cavcred with matchlockmen belonging to the Watt It is ampoffitde to nicettain the precife lots regained by the banditti, but it appears to have been confiderabie; the remainder of the banditti fled in different direc tions, and great numbers (from the difperfed man ner of their retreat) were attacked by the inhabitants of the village through which they paired I two rqua dregs of the sth Regiment of Native Cavalry, under Captain WEBBER, charged a body of the predatory cavalry, with great effect, and took a colour, toge ther with the religions flandard, of the Nagahs. " Another party of banditti, gated to be under the orders of an officer of Meer Khans, affembled in the village of Moodona, on the 24th tune, and advanced with an intention of attacking Colonel SHBPPARD, commanding a corps lately in the fervice of Arobojie Bocknan, and two cols from Kooch. Colonel SNIP '. ARP immediately moved agairdi the banditti with one battalion and the irregular command, and entire ly routed the banditti, of whom too men were killed and upwards of too wounded. Forty horfes of the banditti were killed, and feveral horfes and tents were taken by Colonel Se lIPPARD'S corps. Meer Khan's officer was alto killed. All the country in the vici nity of Kelpee (lately dillurbed by the eruptions of the banditti) is reported by Lieutenant Colonel Poo Le, commanding at Kelpee, to be in a Rate of paled tranquillity.

By accounts received in town it appear. tbilt the Rochefort fquadron have got fafe into Breit This morning arrived a mail from Lilbon, brought to Falmouth by the Panics or Weiss packet, in fourteen days. Different letters from Gibraltar, dated the sad and zath December, exprefs great fatisfaCtion at the arrival of General Fox, and at the vigorous mea lures he was adopting for extirpating the contagion in that garrifon. All carts were put in requifition, and ordered every day, Sunday included, in remov ing thofe loads of filth and rubbifh which had been fuffered to accumulate in the ftreets of the town, and from which the difeafe certainly acquired much of its malignity. The General had alfo appointed a Board of Health, of which General DIUMMOND was Prefi dent. The other Members were Drs. BOLTON, FEL. Lows, and Pyre, with Meffrs. ROSS, SMITH, SWEET LAND, RANKINE, and ALLARDICE, five of the moll re fpatable merchants of the place, who are to meet as =alum may require, and to point the molt effedual means for purifying the town, and for guarding agtinß a fimilar calamity ever being imported into Gibraltar ; and which, it is now afcertained, this dreadful peftilence undoubtedly was, both from Ma laga and other parts of Spain. The fame letters from Gibraltar add, that Geneial Fox had, with great prudence and propriety, excluded any of the faculty from being Members of the Board of Health, who Co unfortunately miftook the nature of the difeafe at its commencement, as to pronounce it to be neither atafignant or contagiou ; in confequence of which no meafures were taken for a confiderable time, either for preventing its fpreading in the garrifon, or com municating the difeafe to the neighbouring countries, which, we are extremely lorry to find, has been done by veffels from Gibraltar ; between fixty and feventy of which failed from that port, with clean bills of health, and upwards of one thoufand paffengers on bOard, at the time when the peßilence was raging in the place. The HYDaA frigate which failed from thence on the 23d of September, with about twenty fail for Malta, were all furniThed with clean bills of health ; and in confcquence on their arrival at Malta, were admitted to land immediately, as no intelligence had reached Malta of any difcafe exifting at Gibraltar.— A frigate, howeVer, fhortly afterwards arrived dif patched by Lord Mums, to warn Sir ALEXANDER BALL and General VILLETTR, of the real Rate of Gibraltar, and to warn them againfl having any communication with that place. The molt dreadful alarm was immediately excited, as all the paffengers had already landed with their baggage, and mingled with the inhabitants and Garrifon, and we are furry to Rate that shortly afterwards feveral of the troops were feized with fevers of a very fulpicions and alarming nature. The utmoft pains were immediately taken to Rop the progrefs of any contagion, and as they are ample provided with lazarettos at Malta. we are in hopes the evil will be checked in its ori. gin. In confcquence, however, no veffel is now ad. twitted from the Ifland of Malta to any part of Italy without performing a long, and rigorous quarantine. Differcat letters from Malta fpeak in veryfrong and pinta terms of the danger to which they have been thus expofed, and of the ferious lofs and inconve nience which the whole Ifland is new labouring under with regard to their trade and fupplies, from the ri gorous quarantine every relict touching there is fub jell to, owing to die totraotaloary and almott tio parafieled circomftance of 4 whole fleet being fur trilled with clean bills of health from a port, where a difeafe more contagious, and more deadly, than the plague itfelf, was adually raging, as the deaths on the ssd of September, the day previous to the convoy failing, amounted to twenty. five daily, and fcveral hundreds were then ill of the fever. The diforder which has made fuch dreadful ravages at Gibraltar is by no means, as has been generally fttppofed, the yellow, bilious intermittent fever of the Weil Indies, but a highly malignant, pellilential fever, of the 701 g: kind, nearly refem- Wing the plague, except its being unaccompanied with buboes or carbuncles. Our Readers will obferve by our Gibraltar letters that a report had reached that Garrifon of the death of the Palace of PIACI. We have not the means of afcertaining the-truth of the rumour, which appears rather doubtful. however, from our not having yet received any amilar account by the Lilhon mail. Earl India Papers to the tyth of Augur} have been received by the Glory, the arrival of which was announced at the India Houte on Saturday. At that period the war with Holkar flitl continued. The Madras Gazette Extraordinary of Auguft 14. th con tains the official account of the reduition by affault of the important fortrefs of Hinglais Ghur, by a diviGon of the forces under Brigadier General MoN. sow. This gallant atchievement was cffelled .ith very little lots, no officer heing either killed or wounded. We leans from the Calcutta papers, that Admi, ral Hsaysrucc was fuppofed to have quitted Batavia in May laft, with four fail of the line and three fri gates, and that his definition was to the Straits of Malacca. Some large (hips were feen fteering for the direction of Prince of Wales's Maud, which is repre fented as fully 'capable of contending with either the detached, or eves the combined Qrength of the Dutch and French fquadrons in the Indian leas. Some authentic intelligence refpeaing the move ments of Limns, had been received at one of the Pre(dencies. An American brig arrived at Madras at the beginning of Auguft, which had failed from the Ifle of France on the sft of the preceding month. The French Admiral, in his flag-fhip the Marengo, accompanied by a angle frigate, failed from thence on the sad June, but whether to cruise againft the Englith trade, or to return to Europe, was not pub licly afeertained. A frigate had alto failed from the Ifle of France for the Mofambique Channel, about the fame time. Her object was fuppofed to be to pick up an Englith (hip, probably the Prince of Irak:, which bad been feen there difmalled, and ap parently fo diftreffed as to hold forth reafonable profpet of an eafy capture. It is undetitood that the Loan will be for a from not lefs than mooo,oool.

The unexpeaed hurry, however, with which the Budget is to be opened, makes it impof fable for him to wait for the returns neceffary to this plat, and fo he recurs to the caller and more praai cable fyftem of a large Loan.
