SS% Camp at Yepalpawry, Sept. to, docx Sir..-Aftcr I had croircd the Malpurba at fella. hall, I marched on the 3d infant, and entered the Nizam's territories at Haramfagur on the sth.—As Col. STivst4 sow was obliged to crnfs the Malpurba in boats, he was not able to advance from that river till the 4th. It appeared to me probable, that whcn DHOONDIA should be prefred by the whole of our force on the Northern fide of the Dooal, he would return into Savanore by Ra magherry and Kopul, and would thus-impede our communication ; or, if favoured by the Potans of Canaoul, and the Poligars on the right bank of the Tumbudra, he would pals that river and would enter the territories of the Rajah of the Myfore. I therefore determined to bring my de tachment to the Southward, and to prevent the execution of either of thole deigns, if he had them, and afterwards . to pufh him to the Ea& ward, and to take fuch advantage of his move ment as I might be able, while col. STEVENSON fhonld move by Moodgtd and Noofby, at the dif tance of between ten and twenty miles from the Kiftna, and the Mahratta and Mogul Cavalry colleited in one body between his Corps and mine. I arrived at Kannagherry on the 7th, and on the Bth moved with the Cavalry to Bafwapoar ; and on the 9th to this place : the Infantry being on thole days at Howly and Shinnoor, about 15 miles in my rear. On the 9th in the morning, DNOONDIA moved from Malghery, a place about 25 miles from Rachoor, at which he had been en camped for tome days, towards the Kifina ; but on his road having Peen Colonel STEVENSON'S camp, he returned and encamped about nine miles in my front, between me and Bannoo. It was clear that he did not know that I was fo near him, and I have reafon to know, that he believed that I was at Shinnaor. I moved forward this morning, and met his ar my at a place called Conahgall, about fix miles from hence. He was on his march, and to the Wefiward, apparently with the defign of palling between the Mahratta and Mogul Cavalry, and my detachment, which he fuppofed to be at Shin• noor. He had only a large body of Cavalry, ap• parently sOOO, which I immediately attacked with the istth and zsth Dragoons, and ill and ad re giments of Cavalry. The enemy was flmngly, pofled, with his rear and left flank covered by the village and rock of Canakguil, and flood for tome time with appa rent firmnefs• but fuch was the rapidity and de termination of the charge made by thole four re giments, which I was obliged to form in one line, in order at all to equalize in length that of the enemy, that the whole gave way, and were pur fued by my Cavalry for many miles. Many, among others DHOONDIA WANG, were killed, and the whole body difperfed, and were fcattered in fmall parties over the face of the country. Part of the enemy's baggage was Hill remaining in his camp about three miles from Conahgul: I returned thither, and got pofreffion of Elephants, Camels, and every thing hr had. The complete defeat and difperfion of the ene my's force, and above all the Death of DHOONDIA WANG, puts an end to this warfare; and I cannot avoid taking this opportunity of expreffing my fenfe of the conduft of the Troops. U p on this laft occafion their determined valour and difcipline were confpicuous ; and their conduit, and that of their commanding officers Colonel Pavia, Major PATTERSON, Major BLAVIERS, Captain DOVE. Tom, and Captain PRICE, have deferved my moil particular approbation. At the fame time I mull inform you that all the troops have undergone, with the &remelt patience and perfeverance, a (cries of fatiguing Cervices. It is 21(0 proper that I fhould inform you how much reafon I have to be pleafed with the Gentle men charged with the bufinefs of procuring fup plies for the Troops; notwithftanding the &fiance of the fcene of my operations from the ufual retirees of rupplies, and rapidity of my marches, and the neceffity, from the fpecies of warfare carried on, of perpetually altering their direftion, I have always been well fupplied•with every thing which the troops could want. The Mahratta and Mogul Cavalry are now em ployed in the purfuit of the fugitives, and I pro. pore to draw off towards the frontier of the Rajah ~f Myfore in a few days.

HOUSE OP LORDS, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23. ' The Earl of ELY (in Ireland) was to be intro duced as an Englith Baron, by the title of Lord Lorrus, and the Earl of Clare and Lord Hobart were ro bed for the purpofc of introducing him to take the oaths and his feat; but the Duke of Nor folk having obferved, that it was paft four o'clock, and that poffibly the Noble Lord might be deem ed liable to the penalties, if fworn in after the hour limited by the Standing Order, the ceremony WAS poftponed. The Fine Wheaten Bread At Repeal Bill went through a Committee, was reported, and was pro pofed to be read a third time. Lord AUCKLAND rote and laid, that be could not but °Nee to paffing Bills by acclamation in a precipitate manner, like that pranced in the pre fent inftance, without a due obfervance of the forms of the Houfe. The Bill had been read a firs and fecond time on 'l'hurfday and Friday laft, and was now about to pafi through the MI of its fix s. As the Lords' Committees on the Dearth of Provifions bad declared, that the Bill was ab. folutely need:try, he would not now obje& to it, but whenever a fimilar attempt was made, he Should think it right to take the fence of the Houfe upon it.—The Bill was read a third time, paired, and a meffage upon it was fent down to the Houfe of Commons. Some papers from the Board of Treafury were prefented at the Bar by the proper officer. MOTION roa ENQ/IRY INTO THE STATE OF THE NATION. The Order of the Day for the Houfe to be fum moned having been read, Lord AUCKLAND rofe, to exprefs his hopes that the Noble Earl might be prevailed on not to per lift in making his motion under filch peculiar cir cumftances as the country and that Houle flood in, with a new Adminifiration but half formed, and no refpontible perfons ready to (land forward to anfwer the arguments that might be advanced. His Lordfbip Paid, if he underflood the objea of the Noble Earl's intended motion, it mutt necef rarity turn upon one or two points: the Cenfure of Minifters, or an Enquiry into the Situation of the Country ; upon which, was it likely that any Noble Lord, capable of affording fatisfaaory ex planation, would be in the Houfe till the arrange ments ihould be completed ? He hoped, therefore, the Noble Earl would fee that no good end what ever would be anfwered by his perfifting in his Motion on that day ; but if he would content to difcharging the Order, and make a new one, either for fome day at the end of the week, or at the be ginning of the next, there in all probability would not arife an objection that could be Rated for the Noble Earl's intended motion being longer with. held. The Earl of DARNLHYrofeimmeu ately, and faid he fhould be at all times willing to comply with the wifhes of the Noble Lord who had jail fat down, and of any other Noble Peer, where his doing fo would not interfere with confiderations of greater moment. But he thought, when the Country was placed in a Rate of unparalleled difficulty and dan ger, it became the indifpenfible duty of their Lord fhips to all in a manner fuiting their high fituation, to proceed at fuch a critical moment with vigi lance and energy, and by their conduit , to teach the People to look up to that Houle with due refped, and confider them as the Hereditary Aridocracy of the Country, and the Conflitu tional Counfellors of the Crown. His Motion (his Lordthip Paid) was a Motion of the utmod importance: and he did not conceive that it de pended in the lead on the arrangement of a new Minillry, nor was likely to be affected by the cir cumaance of whether this Minificr had gone out, or that Minifter had come in, but was that day, as it had been when he find gave notice of it, fuch as the fafety ofthe country depended on, and the fooner itwas under difcraffion the better. He mud there fore fay, that he felt it extremely au kward to be thus called on from time to time by one Noble Lord or another, to put it off from one day to another ; and that he did not think the reafons affigned by the Noble Lord were fufficiently ftrong to induce their Lordfhips to do fo. He would, however, on this occalion, as he had on a former, fubmit him. Pelf entirely to the wills and pleafure of the Houfe. His own idea had been, if the Motion was re quelled to be again deferred, to have named Fri day, and, after moving to difcharge the Order for the Day, to have moved for a new one for Friday ; but, fince he came into the Houfe, it had been in timated to him that Monday next would be more convenient : he wifhed therefore to know from other Noble Lords when the inconvenience Rated would be at an end, and to take the day that would be the lea& liable to objedion. The Duke of Bemoan (aid, it appeared to him that the Houfe was proceeding improperly, by putting off a Motion of fo much importance from day to day, without having any fufficientlj-good reafon aligned for fuch delay. The Duke con. tended that the prefent delay in the formation of a new Minidry was of itfelf an additional reafon for the enquiry being brought forward as boon as pof flble: He fhould be as ready as any one of their Lordfhips to comply with the wifhes of individual Peers; but, where the nature of the cafe called loudly for an immediate enquiry, matters of mere perfonal accommodation mull be confidered as fe condary and fubordinate. He trufled, therefore, that the Noble Earl who had Paid that he conceived the fafety of the Country depended on the enquiry beitT gone into as early as pollible (and, as be himlelf hoped and imagined, that, at fuch an im portant crifis, the Committee would be gone into, and expelled much advantage to refult from it), would feel it his duty to same the althea day to which he had alluded, unlefs flronger reafons could be aligned for its going over to next week. The Earl of DAR s Lry role, and again preffed former argument of the importance of the Motion and the neeefEty of its being entered into as loon a poffible. It was, he repeated it, extremely irifome to him, when he had, now a fortnight fume, given notice of a day for his motion, to be reduced to the unpleafaut ncccffity of difchaaging the order, and be obliged to fummon the Mute, and give their Lordthips the trouble to come down to the Houle again and again, to no other purpofe than coming and returning ; he had already &id, his own idea was to content to move to ditcharge the Order and make a new Order for Friday. He therefore really wiffied that Come Noble Lord would name another day, if he thought it might then really come on. The Earl of Deasy laid, he really %tithed that fome end might be put to the difficulty, and that the Houfe might be allowed to underhand when the motion was likely to come on. The Noble Lord who had &ft began the converfation, and requefted the Noble Earl to put off his motion, feemed to be the only Noble Lord at all in the IC cret as to the hate of the arrangement of the new Adminiftration, fine he had told the Houle that the New Miniftry was but half formed. Might he be permitted to requeft the Noble Lord, who feem. ed to know fo much of the matter, to Hate to the Houfe, when the Adminiftration would be wholly formed t It was to be recolleded, that on the first day on which the Houfe was fummoned to attend the Noble Earl's motion, a Noble Lord (not then in hi; place), late his Majefty's Secretary of State, had affirm! as a reafon for not bringing on the motion on that day, that he, as well as feveral others of his Majefty's fervants, w ere no l onger Minifters, but that they had contented to continue in office a few days longer, while the new arrange ment was forming, in order that public nffaus might fuller no inconvenience. That fame Noble Lord had on a future day again requelled that the motion fhonld be IEII further pollponed. As that Noble Lord was abfent, and the Noble Lord near him had flood forward in the fame manner, and on nearly the fame grounds, it was reafonable to prefume that he Ipoke from authority, and there fore he flattered himfelf that the Hoafe w. - suld hear when the new Adminillration was likely to be wholly formed and completely arranged ; bccaufe if, as the Noble Earl who had given the notice and fummoned the Houfe, had well laid, that in; time of fuch fingular calamity and danger, it behoved their Lordfhips to teach the people to look up to them for a proof that they were properly attentive to their interefts, and that the fafcty of the coun try in forne meafure depended cut the motion's ing put, as loon as poffihle, and theenquiry gone into, it was neceffary that the Houfe fhould know when they really might expea it to come on. • Lord AUCKLAND laid, that what had fallen from the Noble Earl had made it ablolutely neieffairy for him to inter into force explanation, which was certainly irkfeune to his feelings. He could afore the Noble Earl that he knew no more than he did why the new Miaiitry was but half formed, on when it would be wholly fiAmed, nor did be dc. fire to know any thing about it ; he had feoken from no authority whatever, but merelyon the gene rally known fi tuation of affairs.' fie had under flood. as that Houfe and the other had been given to underftand, from the belt authority, that of fome of his Majefty's late Milliners themfelyes, that they had refigued their fituations, but that the Right Honourable Gentleman who was at their head (though he was no longer to be confidered as a Minifter), had. from the generofity of his own mind, and from a laudable dew* to prevent the public intere(t from injury, contented to continue in office till he had difcharged the important duty of propofing the Ways and Means, and catrying through die Bills of Supply. That bufinefs was now in progrefs, but not yet concluded, and thence he concluded that he was not erroneous in Rating that the Miniftry was but half fOrmed, and that the bringing forward a motion like that propofed by the Noble Lord, wheel neither the late Minihers nor the new ones were likely to be prefent in the Houk, could anfwer no purpofe. It was for this reafon that he had mentioned the commencement of next week as a more probable time, when all objedion to the entertaining the motion would be at an end. To prevent further premature difcuf fion of the fubjetl, howeVer, he would move, that the Houle be fummoned for Monday next. ' The Duke of NORFOLK thought it was of the utnaoft importance that the motion fkould be brought forward as foon as poffible ; and he could not conceive why the prefent Rate of Adminiftra tion, which, one fhould have fuppofed, might have been finally fettled before this time, could be a juft ground for putting it off. Perhaps there might be another reafon which the Noble Lord (Auckland) did not think proper to mention—an account of much more importance, and more ge neral concern, than the embarraffintnt of the Cabinet, and which might perhaps prevent the motion from coming on this day or for tome time. What he meant was this—he .underflood that his Majefty was at prefent very much indifpofed. hi a loyal fubjee he lamented, in common with every other perfon in there kingdoms—from the higheft rank to the loweft—an event fo unfortunate as the indifpofition of his Sovereign; and if that fhould continue, he would facrifice his duty in Parlia ment to the duty he owed his Majefty, and there fore would not prefs any furh difeuffiun as, was then called for. Whatever day fhould be fixed for this motion, he willed that it might politively be brought forward on that day, unlefs fomething of more confequence than the arrangement of a new Adminiffration fhould occur to prevent it. The Earl of HARDWICKI Paid, that what had juft fallen from the Noble Duke was in his mind a fuflicient reafon for deferring the difcuffion of the Motion. His Lordtbip otherwife fhould have wifhed that a day fhould be fixed as early as the Houfe was likely to be fully attended. Lord CATHCART laid, as in the courfe of the converfAtion different reafons had been aligned for not fuffering the Motion to be delayed longer than the prefent week, by fome Noble Lords, and by others for delaying it till the be ginning of the next, without meaning to fay any thing that might be conftrued into a with to have the Motion withheld longer than fhould be abfo. lutely neccffary, it occurred to him that the better mode would be to confine the bufinefs of that day to the mere difcharge of the order, and without mak. in a new one to leave it to the Noble Baron to bring on his Motion on whatever day he fhould himfelf think molt proper, of which he might take an opportunity of giving a politive notice. ~rti I 1 w3r, -t accep c the hied Lrmy that once 4 14 t:-b1 Hour Aral He r Sled 10112 alt a 'ft Mil icier fund, to a I Lc [into o A
