EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE. We have received from Calcutta the Asiatic Mirtor of the 15th of April. Accounts from Hyderabad of the 26th March state, that Bajee Rao (late his High ness the Peishwa) had quitted the line between Khair and Nandair, turned to the northward, and gone in the direction of Berar. - Nis Excellency.the Gover nor-General remained on the 4th of April at head quartets at Mudeneah; enjoying the amusement of tiger-hunting. The ravages of the cholera atorbus, it appears, have increased, rather than abated, among the native• population of Calcutta. The causes of this di4order, and the mode of treatment proper for its relief, have become subjects of discussion in the Caltinta Journals. The practice of wearing flannel is generally considered by the Medical practitioners to be preservative against this prevailing disorder. The new church of St. Andrew, intended as a place of devotion for the members of the Kirk of Scotland, is now finished, and ready for Divineiservice. Sir David Ochterlony has been invested by the Gover nor-General,. as the representative of the Prince Re gent, with the insignia of the Order of the Bath, ac companied by a warm eulogium on his long and meritorious services. EXTRAeTS FROM A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED NAG* • Foltz, MARCH 26. • " You must have heard of Sir Thomas Hislop's battle with Holkar's troops, and of the treaty that followed ; that family is now in complete.subjectiOn, and a body of our troops have been left in his terri tory. Sir David Ochterlony's division of the army is expected to remain out for a long period; for the purpose of completely settling that part of India.— Alas! the Jagpore and Rajepoot States. 'The fa- , mous Meer Khan has accepted the terms offered him, and the above division of the army are collecting his guns, but which his refractory troops are unwilling to surrender. The Jagpore Rajah does not at pre sent possess any considerable force, but it is reported that he means to attack us next year. The Pcis/awa has as yet managed to escape from all our detach ments. Parties of the Madras and Bombay armies are in pursuit of them, and accounts have been Te.• ceivcd that Brigadier-General Smith came upon him by surprise, killed a number of his followers, and, among the rest, his famous Commander, Gokla, fell. The Peishwa took to his heels the moment our troops appeared ; numbers of his petty Chiefs have deserted him, and come over to us. The country imme diatAv not)) and south of the river Nerbuddah is to be ceded to the Company. The Madras army is to relieve our subsidiary force at Nagpore, which is destined fur the ceded districts, and to be designated the army of the Nerbuddah. They are employed in besieging some forts to the south of the Nerhuddah ; and General. Marshall, with a large force, is employ ed on the work to the north. As to the Pindarrees, poor devils, they are completely disheartened; in deed, most of the head Chiefs have been extermi n tied. New regiments are pretty certain, although they cannot be finally raised without permission from home. Dispatches are on their way, stating, that more tegiments are absolutely necessary for the safety of the cretairy : and in anticipation of the Court of Directors complying, criers have been issued for the levying of 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry iinme- - diately ; so that by the time the Court's orders ar • rive, these troops will be fit for aid service." " MARCH 31.—Since writing the foregoing. we have received some news, which is as followss--The Resident at Nagpore having conceives strong suspi cions of the meditated Right of the Rajah to the' Peishwa, intercepted the correspondence, from which he obtained.the most convincing proofs of his trea-1 chery. Repeated messages were sent to the Rajah to invite him to an interview at the Residency, but to no purpose ' ; when the Resident sent three com panies to the Palace. to force him out; he was at' List seized in the midst of his women, and is now on his way to Allahabad, escorted by a battalion and some horse artillery, from whence it is supposed he will be dispatched to Calcutta, Vizier Ally's old quarters in the fort. It appears from the intercepted correspondent', that the rascal, while publicly send ing people to deliver up his forts to us, had sent se cret encouragement to his Killadars to hole out as long as possible. A friend of the 13ritish Govern ment, and a favourite of the Residents, had been placed on the Musnud, Sir David Ochterlony reached this yesterday on his return from the Mar quis's camp." " Aram 11.—Accounts have this day arrived, an nouncing the approach of the Peishwa, with an im mense force, to Nagpore. He had reached Jaulnak, and was expected to be in the neighbourhood of Nagpore on the 23d or 24th of list month. If he escapes our detachment this time, I fear he will create a great deal of trouble and annoyance for some time to come.• It is reported that the seizure of the Nagpore Rajah has caused the greatest alarm• to the southward, and that an attempt will be made to rescue him while on his journey to Allahabad." DIADIIAS, MARCH 7. -. By the following translation of an an article from the Batavian Government Gazette, we learn Oast 1101 1 disturbances at Amboyna had been suppressed: . " BATAVIA, Nov. 29, 1817.—According to intel.' Egence received from his Excellency Rear4sinsirid" Buyskes, one of his Netherland Majesty's Colarnissio... ters-General, dated 20th of October last, tranquillity was at that time completely restorad -at Arriboyna. His Excellency has succeeded in putling to • htthel Cerammers and the principal mutineering ' s,- hief without the loss of a single man, vtd in b i b ringing hack to their duty those natives who bad rebelled.- As soon as the plan of attack was formed, his Excel leacy intimated to the mutineers, by proclamation, the necessity of submitting themselves; whickhad so good an effect, that on the approach of the iessels belonging to the expedition sent against them, they hoisted the white flag, and did not make the least at tempt to prevent the landing of the troops; but de manded pardon of the Commanding Officer. His Excellency, in consequence, intended to giant pardon in the name of the Netherland Government to all the natives on the come of Hitou who shared in the tu mult, with the eneeption, however, of those who had been guilty of rujirdering, wounding, or attacking the Residents, Regents, or other petty Chiefs, under .whose controul they were.—The above intelligence gives us well groanded hopes that the mutiny on the ober islands will toon.be terminated as amicably." .SL DJAILVCi O. SANS.SOUCI. SUNS at.. Whilst our august Sovereign is on.his tourin tke kingdom, and occupied in improving" our interior situation, an unexpected event arrests our attention. Petion, the only author of the Civil war, is no 'more. A few days after his decease; we were per.' fectly instructed of the circomstances of his sickness and death, by'direct and certain news from P.ort-aaV Prince ; but we forbore to mention them, becattst we wished first to know what had been his last testa mentary. dispositions. Man, during his life, is flattered with the chimeras of hope ; his passions render him blind to his wrongs and his injustice ; but *hen his last moments ap proaCh, the veil of passion is rent away, and truth appears in-all its nakedness. According to the ordinary course of human things we have zoom to hope that General Petion, when drawing near his last hour, and about to appear at the tribunal of the ETERNAL, wished to render to Cesar the thhtgs which were Came:. That, touched by the misfortunes that he had drawn upon his coun try, he would fain have obliterated, by one good and glorious action, all the stains of his past life. Vain hope!—there are, then, hearts that nothing can change! Instead of persisting, as he still did. in the doctrine of life and death, and departing from the ways of reason, of justice, and humanity, why'was not his heart softened ? Would to GOD he had hearkened to the wise counsels, and accepted the paternal offers, of our August Sovereign He would then have acquired his dove, and merited the grati tude of the nation ; but he has suffered himself to be drawn on by the il lusions of ambition ; he has mis taken his true interest, and wandered from the path of honour and duty. He was to be pitied, and we pitied him. In • a Government where nothing is stable, but where all is ephemeral, among so many Candidates having a right to the Presidency, it was impossible for us to foresee into what hands the helm of State would pass. Among the Generals of colour, Baze lais is the most ancient of this party ; he was elected Brigadier-General by the late Emperor in 1803: — after him came the Generals Borgella, Francisque, Bergerac, Trichet, Lys, Brunz, Le Blanc, and Boyer. Among the black Generals, Valvat, the most ancient, was elected Brigadier-General in 1804; then came Gideon and Fredetic. Amon!, so many candidates, we say it was not possible to t.!11 on which the choice, would fall; but were not long in uncertainty. Some time after the death of General Petion, we learnt that he had named for his successor in the Presidency, General John Peter Boyer, who has recently entered the military career, and whom we know under this point of view but imperfectly ; he was but the Secre tary of General Petion in 1807. He then manifested honourable and distinguished sentiments • he Fub licly blamed the boundless ambition of Gen. Petion, who," said he, it was born to cause the unhappiness of his countiy." We have now reason to believe that General Boyer will add example to precept, and that he will walk exactly opposite to the ways of his predecessor; for • he, doubtless, would not himself be guilty of the , faults lie had condemned in another. __ • A new era is then going to rise over Hayti. The time is a: last cr,lne when thoughtful and good men, fathers of families, and those who aspire only to enjoy tranquillity and security, can declare them selves, and labour for the re union of the Haytians, and assist us in creating a new order of things, and a stable and happy futurity. The Sovereign, the most ancient existing chief of the army, the most meritorious and distinguished among the Haytians ; he who has rendered the great est and longest services t, his country ; lie who, by his noble and generous character, is most capable of directing our military career, he has jast made us hear his paternal voice. 0, Haytians, of the west and south ! you will not be deaf to the cries of riur country, which calls you to her bcsom, to form but one family, and to unite your arms against the common enemy. All your misfortunes and our's are about to die awaye; what then. do you await, to fly to onr arms, and declare yourselves for the re-union? What have you then to fear ? There are no enemies nor guilty ones among - the Haytians; the King knows none;— this Chief whom you have been the first to acknow ledge and proclaim, extends to you his paternal arms. He knows you have been led on by the horrors of civil war ; he knows that you are perfectly innocent; he knows who has been the author of all our troubles and disasters ; but he is no more ! All, then, is marked out by the hand of I)iviNE PROVIDLNCE, who seems willing to put a period to the dissentions and misfortunes of the Haytian people. Can you, 0 my fellow-countrymen! can you re fuse to listen to the voice of wisdom and of reason, when you have no longer any motive whatever to remain disunited ; but when, on the contrary, all calls and counsels you to ally yourselves in the most intimate manner? Must you not be insensible, the enemies of yourselves, unjust and inhuman, to wish to persist, without any reason, in continuing the civil ivar, in rending the bosom of your country, and spil tng the blood of your brothers and countrymenl— No, we cannot believe that there are such men exist itt among you —no, there are not such men among you; for if there are beings so sanguinary, and hos tile to their country, and their true interest. es to wish to continue the civil war, they are not Haytians but Frenchmen, Of their secret partisans. Haytians ! when our King is the first to give you the example of wisdom, moderation, and generosity ; when he speaks to you in the language oireason, of justice, and humanity ; can you hesitate to follow his noble and generous example? Can you maireosht you to have say other opinion than his, or follow any other impulse than that which he gives you in the moment when be it acting for your happiness, and the welfare of the country ? Think, then, that the whole world is witness of the generosity and magna nimity of the King. Think of the goodness, the jus tice, and legitimacy of his cause ; and if, after his paternal proclamation, you persist in departing from him, think that you will be responsible fo r a ll th e calamities that shall afflict anew our country. Think that you will be unpardonable in the eyes of your contemporaries and of posterity, who will judge you with all the severity and impartiality which you have merited by your hardness of heart. _ _ _ We insert an a Order of the Day." issued on the 29th June, by President Boyer. The appointment of the 16th July for the review of his army appears to be singularly opportune, as his opponent Chris- 1 Wylie by accqunts recently received, was in the neighbourhood of Port-au-Prince on the 15th, with a consider-Able force. We may expect, therefore, by r the next arrivals from St. Domingo, to hear that the rival Chieftains have come to blows. PORT-AU-PRINCE, JUNE 29. ORDER 07 THE DAY. The Presidenvof Hayti expresses his satisfaction with the zeal and spirk with which the troops of the Republic are animated; by than &Ant justice to their patriotism, he is pleased In think. in that they will continue to merit equal compliments. The General commanding the frontiers of Trianon, and the Chide, and the soldiers of that line, have acquired in particular, by their exactness to the service, and by their attachment to the Republic, incontestable rights to the public acknowledgment—, The General and Chiefs of the corps will continue by their ex ample tb strengthen their inferiors in the love of order, and In the obedience which the public good prescribes. The 16th July neat, the army will be reviewed to receive a month's payment. The military actively employed in the corps, and In the different Etat-Majors only will have a right to this payment. No person will'be allowed to claim this money, who, on that day, shall be absent from his colours. BOYER. 13th Year of Independence. THE EVENING STAR, LONDON. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, ISIB.

W.: hare great satisfaction in being enabled, by the accounts received this morning, to state, that much of the alarm under which the people of Manchester were labouring, has been removed, the greater part of the Weavers, and a considerable number of the' Spinners having returned peaceably to their employ ments. An advancepf wages has been given to the Weavers pretty generally : in one, or. two instances the Spinning Factories have a'-so advanced their wages and no doubt some arrangement will follow calculated to restore perfect quiet—a state the more likely to be attained by some of the most turbulent having been apprehended on a charge of seditious practices, and sent ofr to Chester, where the Assizes ' are now sitting, to take their ti PRIVATE LETTER. " MANCHESTER, AEPTENIBER 7-20 P. M. " I am happy to state, that, contrary to all expcc tation, the town has remained in a tranquil state since Friday last,—The weavers, who had proceeded on that day in a large body, towards A stiton-under-Line, were met about four miles hence, on the road, by General BYNG. and the Police Magistrates of the dis trict. as has already been noticed in the STAR. They 'succeeded in convincing them of the impropriety of !their conduct, and prevailed uron them to return and quietly disperse, promising that every thing in their power should be done with their employers to ame liorate their condition. Many of them have since returned to their work, and it is expected that they will be followed by the great body—the majority-of the Masters having consented to an advance of 4s. in the pound, with a promise that something further shall be done as soon as possible. It is a most me lancholy fact that the average earnings of this useful: and industrious class of persons, for a long time ba4, has not been more than eight shillings per week ! Some few of the spinners have likewise xeturned ti their labour this day ; and expectations are held out that a great majority ss:11 in a few days go in to their employ, under a promise from their masters that their wishes will be in part complied with. " Thomas Brookes, the young man who was shot from Mr. Gnav's factory, on Thursday last, was in terred yesterday. An immense body of spinners, male and female, followed the funeral procession, many of them in mourning. The other persons who were shot on this lamentable occasion, with one ex ception, are doing well. _ _ " This day Drummond, Johnson, and Bagaley, were apprehended on a warrant, charging them with seditious practices, and conveyed under an escort, in a post-chaise and four, to Chester Castle. These men, it will be recollected, cut a conspicuous figure in the different meetings for Reform held at this place at the time of the Blanketeering Crusade, and were a considerable time confined ender the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act.—The offence now imputed to them, it is understood, took place at the meeting of weavers and tpinners at Stockport - iiit week." ANOTHER PRIVATE LETTER. " MANCHESTER, SEPT. 7. " The young man who was shot at Messrs. Gray and Co.'s factory, on Wednesday last, was buried at Hulme Chapel, yesterday, about a mile frem Man chester.—the expenses of a new grave and grave stone and the funeral rites, defrayed out of the Spin ners Fund. It is supposed that the assemblage, on the occasion, amounted to from six to 8,000 persons. " The Water-street Factory has some of its bands returned again, at the usual prices, but a very insig nificant number. " Last Tuesday, the Ist instant, a respectabable Factory in Oxford-road, gave directions to the Ma nager and Overloukers to prepare the Engine, and have all things in readiness to resume work on the following morning. The doors were accordingly set open for such of its work-people as migkt choose to tome in ; but the number were so few they were discharged in the evening. .
