, EAST INDIES. iS 111 COVTINUATION FROM THS mammy: ?A I. HEADS OF INTELLIGENCE FROM RAMPOORAH. At nine A. M. on the zBth of Augua, Captain HUTCHINSON, of the Beeigal Artillery (who had been left in the command of the fort of Rampoorah) °We.' veil a party of the enemy marching in the di ration of Ooniara ; and conceiving it to be poflible to cut them off, ordered Lieutenant Roo/IT/ON, with three companies of Sep , Is, and fume Golundanze, to attempt this operation. Lieutenant Roatatsoo (ucceeded in reaching the enemy, who immediately opened a fire upon him from three guns. The enemy, however, were enabled to draw off their artillery, but Lieutenant Roostnon captured five tumbrils and a Rand of colours, and compelled the enemy to retire with the greaten precipitation. Official intelligence has been received of the cap ture, without any lots on our part, of Indore ) the capital of the HoThar territories, by the corps under the command of Colonel MURRAY on the .14th of Auguit, 1804. The officers commanding Jetwunt Rao Holkar's troops at Indore retired with oppoling any refinance to Colonel Muatar.

Intelligence received from the Mauritius, by the Danifh brig Governer Bie, detained by his Majefty's fquadron cruising off that Ifland, oa or about the 24th September laft—the brig has arrived at Trio comalee.—The (hip which the fquadron attacked the day the late prize left the Hand (which we think was the s7th or 28th of Auguft laft), was a French mer chant•fhip, with (ores and provifions, from Mada gafear, which they burned; the fquadron had not a man killed or wounded. The under-mentioned feven Engin prifoners made their efcape, and got on board the fquadron, viz. Edward Duncan, Mater of the Ann, of Liverpool. . Thomas Jenkins, Chief Mate of the Admiral ApUn. 'Thomas Rolland, Chief Mate of the Elias Ann, taken at Ben. toolen by the French firadmn on the 1 tth December a lb 3.

Thcy informed the feni ,, r Officer, that the Pfyche vrac the only (hip of war in Port Louis; that Admi ral Ltants had only three months provifions on to.trd.--There were no military floret embarked on bn.nd me French fquadron, or foldiers, but about s6o Volunteers. CEYLON GAZETTE, OCTOBER s. Accounts were received lafl night from the detach ment under the command of Major &tam, from Baddegedhere which poll had been taken on the morning of the 28th ult. by the dikbarge of eight cohorns and a general charge of the troops led on by Captain Pot.Locs, of the slit Regiment. Major BIAVIR (peaks in the highelt terms of the gallantry - and good conduit of all the Officers and men of his detachment, and details the various and heavy loffes which the enemy have fueatined by the burning of their houfes and the deftrudion of their gardens in every part of the country through which our troops have palled ; and it is with great pleafure we add, with very few cafualties on our fide, three men only having been wounded, two Bengal &Julys by the fire of the enemy, and an artilleryman by the accidental wound of a bayonet. It was Major Bsaysa's intention to halt one day at Baddegedhere, and afterwards to pufh on to Dene waka, where it was laid the enemy had affembled in force, and were determined to defend their poft, which, however, we have no doubt will be carried by the gallantry of our troops on the firft attack. Captain BLACIALL't detachment which marched from Negombo, had arrived on the 25th ult. at Ta. teny, in the Seven Corlefs, without accident or dith• culty, excepting a pretty lharp though harmlefs fire, on - his advanced guard on the 23d and 24th. Having caufed confiderable damage to the enemy, he pro. poled marching in the evening to Pechambecca, ,where he expelled to be joined by the detachments under the command of Lieuts. WHIT' and P(111E0014 and after this junflion to pull on to Tammily, where the 2d Adigar is fuppofed to be polled with a force of soo Malays and Caffres, and a multitude of Cinga lees. In order to move on with celerity, he had lent back to Negombo all his heavy baggage. We are happy to fay the whole of the detachment was in excellent health and 'pints. LONDON.

In the preceding columns we have girt' to large ex tra& from the Calcutta Gazettes to the rub of Oitober. According to all accounts the btuation of Colonel Musson appears to have been ntoll'critical, and his March, harafedby a faperior enemy, difficult in the highs& degree. The difirefs of this fituation was ag gravated by want of provifions and a treacherous coe yefpondence kep► up by tome Sepoy Officers of the native corps, with Hoot AO troops. The March of Colonel blossom amid& thofe embarraffing circum (lances was above fix weeks. At la(l the detachment reached Agra, after being towards the end almoft en tirely difperfed. The lots mull have been very con fiderable. The official account gives the names of as Officers killed and wounded.—lt is hated that Hot.- lam's people.treated the prifoners with great inhu manity, mutilating moll of them. A private letter, of the gth of November, gives the following details refpeding this difaftrous affair : " 1 am very much concerned to tell you, that the late news of Momsor's defeat is fo far from proving exaggerated, that 1 the details related in my la& which were given out as official, were nothing but a blind to cover the total annihilation of that army.— The true (late of the cafe is, that not above goo, in• eluding officers, have come in out of [even battalions. It is commonly reported, that Monson was obliged to fall back for want of provifions, which was no doubt the cafe : the enemy would not otherwik have been able to force his pofitions. " General L Ali has, fence the defeat, Amite up ' with Houtaa, and in an :aka where hothing but the Gallopers, and a part of our advanced guard, were engaged, has routed his cavalry. This is not, however, by any means decifive ; and report gives it out, that HOLICAII has out-generalled him, for that his objeft in making thew of fighting was *ith the view of moving off his Artillery and infantry to a dif ; tance. " General Lacs, in his letter to Col. bloaaay, of the 6th of Otitober, fays, that he hopes, in a asort time, to fecnte the enemy's gnus. The route they have taken is Paid to be in a northern direElion. Of 1 Colonel WALLACeII detachment, twee the taking of Chandore, we know nothing, but expea loon to hear of their operations in Gainer. If this detachment and Colonel MVIMAY'S join, they• will compote a formidable force." Official accounts have been received, that on the atSth of Aagult Indore, the capital of Hocwe's ter ritories, was taken pogeffinn of by Colonel Moaaar, the enemy making little refinance.

SCULLY and RYAN, as delegates from the Irifh Catholics, waited on Mr. PITT, in Downing-Rreet. Lord FINGALL concifely opened the objet of their miffion, which had been previoufly communicated in a letter from his Lord fhip, incloting a copy of the Catholic Petition. The delegates ex preffed the with of the Catholics that Mr. I PITT fbould prefent the Petition, and allO their reli ance on his fupport for the attainment of their objed. —Mr. Par acknowledged his former promife, and entered into a very detailed Raiment of the reafons which induced him originally to take up the caufe of the Catholics, adding, that thole reafons dill pre ferred their full force in his mind. He complimented in very high terms the difpofition and condo& of the Catholic Body, and Rated that no man couldrierl more zeMous to promote their intereft than he did ; but yet he begged to decline prefenting He Petition or fupporting their claims at prefent. He affured the delegates that he was quite free from the bigotry and prejudices which Rood in the way of the complete ac complifbment of their willies, and expreffed his regret in very explicit terms, that an *Mack in a certain quarter rendered it imprudent to agitate and impoffi ble to obtain their claims at the prefent moment. . .
