INDIA. We have ygient pleasure in laying before our Readers the tollowiag interesting extracts from the Calcutta Genseits, dated the t'al and 3d of May, 1815 : We have extreme satisfactionin gnoluncing to the pahlic that letters of excellent authority, datest Ttetit:tirli the 211 ultimo, and received in town this muling, communicate the agreeable intelligence of the ent4e defeat of the Goorkha troops under Umr Singh Kajee, by the division of the array com manded by General Ochterleny ; the day of this bril:iaut affair is not mentioned. It would, however, appear. ghat Umr Singh, straitened by the neer Ap proach of the British detachments, sallied from his 101 tifit-ci pouts between Malown and Sourujgor t sod att.icked• the besiegers in all direction:. Tile contest :s luing and arduous. and the detachment, com roloded by Lient..C.A. Thompson, was at one period critically situated ; but at length the enemy was com pletely beaten back at every point, le.aing several hundreds killed and wounded on the held of battle: Dining the engagement several bodies of our troops penetrated to the eitem es lines, immediately under the walls of the fort. The victory is expressly stated to have been decisive, and such as must lead to the immediate tall of Malown. Ifwas not to be expected that such an advan tage could be gained without considerable loss, but we are happy to learn, that the number of casualties urn comparatively few. We lament to find that the names of two officers, Captain Showers, 19th Native Infantry, and Lieutenant Bagot, doing duty wi , ll the pkneers, are among those stated to have been " WEDNZDAY, WAY 3, 1815. " Yesterday evening we bad the sincere satisfac tioe of communicaing to the public the agreeable iniellieetite of the total defeat of the Goorkha forces under Umr Singh Thappa, iti a general action be tween them aid the divisien of the army commanded by General Ochteilony. We have since received a concise report, written on the field of battle, which we lose ac rime in laying heft re oar readers, having' merely premised, that it is naturally neither so full nor so accurate ah it would have been in less trying c;rctimstarie.s. We were wiong in stating the action to have begun by an attack . on the part of the enemy'. it commenced in consequence. of a simultaneous movement made by the British troop s , with a view of con fi ning the enemy, and cutting off all otimmu nicaiien between Malown and the stockades, redoubts, atei other fortified outposts. Oise of these columns, comm "idea by Lieutenant-Coinnel Thomprin, was attacked by the enemy immediately on reaching its destination on the morning of the 15th ultimo. The siruggla was kept up with unremitting vinlenee during the whole of that day, and of the following night. At length; after a desperate attack at break of day, the courage of the gatlant detachment was-crowned with perfect Sj . LCeS'. The enemy were entirely re. pulsed about seven in the morning, leaving on the field their CuMutander Iltightes, Thapa, Fleerda, Singh Thappa, uncle•of Umr Singh and Gojceu `Chapin, nephew of 131:ghtee •Singh. These, with 100 others, had been brought into Colonel Thomp son's stockade. Here 150 were likewise wounded : our loss was also ?teem : Lieutenant Begot, of the pioneure, was .mortally wounded, and died on the morning of the 16th. Captain Geld, Adjutant Light liaantry Battalien, was severely wounjed on the 15;11. Major Lawrie, 7th Native Infantry, and Lieutenant Dalgairns, Sd Regiment Native Infan try, were slightly wounded on the 16th. Thirty se. pop were killed, and 113 wounded. Captain Showers, llith Native Infantry, was shot, at the h ea d of his column, with both his orderlies, after having cut down the Sirdar opposed to him. Lieutenant Spel kw, 7th Native Infantry, was also severely wounded. The loss in rank and file of this column was, 20 killed, and 61 wounded. In another column, com. tuanded by Captain Bowyer, of the 19th Regiment Vigils Infantry, oar loss wits only '2O in killed and •wintiideal. Deserters rep tend, that when Bughtee commenced the *neck, U.or Singh was only a few yards distant from him, ant i that the assailants were above two thousand in number, of whom tour hun.l Area were foiled and wounded. A few of ceir irrc gulars bad fallen. The termination of this affair WAS Midi at might have been expected, from the united efforts o f b rav e troops, placing confidence in the abilities of a prudent and able General. The blow was meneeived to be fatal to the enemy, who was now cooped up to his last hold, inue'l diminished in num bers, andafestitete of proviiimis. Our neiv post had been much strengthened, and fresh reinforcements Lad joined the troll; s, who were greatly jaded by ex. efiesive labour, in a hot sun, on a soil Melding tw water to quench their•thirst.

(Corse&Agron. err last ) (In the hurry of putting to Press yesterday, the concluding part of this document was given incorrectly. After the last en tire paragraph at the bo•tnm of the first column of the third page, the Address should be read to the end as fellows :1 " The generous abandonment of a considerable portion of pur personal revenue, that treasure of the King, poured by his order into the treasure ofthe State; and the example, followed, with so much ardour, by your august family, will inflame all hearts with a noble and patriotic emulation. " Sire, we have recognized the beneficent intentions which constantly actuate your Majesty, in the aug- MCiltatiOn of the number of the Deputies of depart. ments. We would lain hope, that each Deputy would be an additional guarantee for the firm stabi lity and salutary union of the Royal power and tbc national liberties. 66 All the Peers, Sire, feel the duties imposed on them by the sacredness of their functions, together with the honour of purr choice. Hereditary Coun sellors of the Crown, defenders from their birth of the rights of the Prince, and the liberties of the peo ple ; supreme judges of the crimes which would 'threaten the safety of the Throne, and of the State, tiiey will always be ready, Sire, as subjects to obey you, as citizens to devote themselves to the welfare of the country, as Peers of France, to strengthen the royal prerogative with all the Powers which the two Chambers shall judge necessary to dissipate factiops and render the laws triumphant. Lastly, Sire, that perfect confidence, with which you have called vs round you, shall be, completely justified. We shall constantly keep in view those fun damental bases, which he has recommended to us never to lose sight of. Frank and sincere union of the Chamber: with the /Gag: respect for the Constitutional Gharter—thete words, which proceeded . from your lips, shall alWays be our watchword. " In the name of all Frenchmen, we swear at your feet oblivion of internal divisions, and the sacrifice of personal interests. We shall all press around with one accord that tutelary throne which has be come the altar of the country. 66 We shall bring to it vows of love, and not ideas of resentment : but we repose in perfect confidence that your Majesty will always know to conciliate with the benefits of your clemency the rights of justice, and we dare humbly to solicit from your equity the necessary retribution of rewards and punishments, the execution of existing lakes, and the purity of public administrations. 66 Sire, it is by following invariably this line of conduct—it is by never deviating from that *funda mental law, which we derive from you, by observing it as it stands, and by leaving the period of its im provement to him who has had the glory of its crea tion—it is, in a word, by now directing ill our atten tion to the important objects pointed 'our by your Majesty, that is to say, by incessantly turning our thoughts to our primary wants, that we shall find means to repair our late calamities. " Thus, with the support of RIMIGION, the first basis of all human societies, with the aid of purified manners, of liberty founded upon the laws, and of credit re-established ; with the guarantee of an army, re-composed upon the principles of loyalty, which can not die in the hearts of French men, we shall restore to the throne and to the nation the strength which ought to belong to them. Thus, after having seen, last year, the Emperors and the Kings of Europe assembled, accept for their sale guarantee the moral character of your Majesty, we shall offer you, Sire, a new guarantee to present to them in the wise energy of a nation, %Zilch renounces the mischievous ambition of being feared, but,which cherishes the firm resolution of impressin:; around her, in concert with her 4oveteign, the respect Always due to Ler rights, and the contiJence hen‘cluttli due to her principles."

It i 4 stated, that several of the Swiss Governments arc tal;ing steps nt Paris, for obtaining the tcstitu• 'ion of the contributions which were iMpotted in lip% rho town of gasle alone paid 400,000 trancs ; that Zuriph 600,000; St. 290,0()0 ! h cluence of the piponstfagfcei from 4i,asle s Dooarptc had ordered a C.ounsellor of State to make him a Re port on the subject; but that order bad no result. Sunday list, M. Angelos, Charge d'ATaires of the Sublime Porte, had a private audience of the King, at which he presented to his Majesty, with the useal ceremonial, a letter from the Grand Signior. After mass, M. Abel, resident of the city of Ham burgh, presented to the King his credentials. I The English have evacuated Beauvais and been replaced by Prussians. Abbeville still has an English garrison. The 6th corps of the Prussian army under General Tauenzein is to occupy the department of Lower Seine, having quitted the Ille and Vilaine, the Manche and Calvados. The Prussian General Krauseneck has arrived at Mentz for the purpose of wholly giving up that for tress to the Archduke Charles. Hitherto Mentz has been in the mixed occupation of Austrians and Prussians. Letters from Naples assert that the new Constitu tion of the Kingdom rat the T.vo Sieilies, will be common to Sicily and Naples, and that there will no longer he a separate Parliament in the formerisland. The States General of the whole kingdom will hold their assemblies at Naples. Mr. Louis de Segueira Oliva, a member of the Academy of Lisbon, having been attacked by a chronic dysentery, to which he fell a victim, not withstanding all medical aid, has left by will a prize of 2.5(X) francs, to be given to the person, native or foreigner, who shall present to the Academy the best memoir on the treatment of that disorder. TOULON, OCTOBER 7. The Austrians continue to blockade Antibes very strictly. That place has no longer any communica tion open but by sea. Oa the 4th there entered it 800 men, with provisions for two months. The in habitants continue to do duty with the troops, and amidst privations of every kind give a fine ez.tmple of fidelity to their King. BIABSEILLES. OCTOBER 9. The frigates Galilee and Nereide, with the brig Emulation, have sailed from hence with croups for Corsica. VIENNA. OCTOBER 4. There is talk of the entire cession Of the depart ment of Mont Tonnerre to the House of Austria ; negociations with this view are, it is said, on foot.

Every efort is making for a sincere reconcililition between the Government of Wurtemberg and the Provincial states of that kingdom. It is even said, that the King has yielded var►ous important points, that the constitution of March, 1815, will be revoked, and that Commissioners on the part of the Diet and the King will meet for the formation of a new con stitution, having for basis that under which the Duchy of Wurtemberg was formerly governed.

We have been prevented. by a press of other mat ter, from offering even a single remark on the Note presented by the ex-Ministers of LOUIS before quitting their situations ; of which we inserted a copy in the Sran of Wednesday. But such an impudent insult ing production cannot possibly have escaped the animadversions of our intelligent Readers. We can not spare room to notice their tirade against the KlNU—their laboured eulogy of their own virtues.. They would be sorry idiots indeed, when telling their own story, not to tell it to their own advantage. Their sore, however, is apparent in their eyed.— The Kix% it appears, thought it reasonable that some of his constantly devoted friends should par.' take of his favours ; but they also seem to have had friends for whom they wished to provide; and, not content with occupying the principal plsces, they grasped at the entire patronage. In other words—. the Kula was to be kept in their leading strings and left without the-mean of making a single friend, otherwise, as Ministers, they could not be responsible for the safety of the State. But what could be their motive in reminding the Kiziole Meanwhile, foreigners possess France at a tonguered country ; to civil discord they add the nt wawa of Provinces; they dissipate the funds which might to find their way into the treasury ; they &your the provisions of the people, who are threatened w:th an approaching famine; they carry off the magazines of arms, the ammunition of and the cannons from the ramparts of our cities.
