Ed! ST—INDIES. BENGAL HURKARRU, JANUARY 15. We have letters from the Camp of Dowlut Rao Scindeah, of so late a date as the 24th December.-1-- That Chieftain was then at Terail, a place in the neighbourhood of Shahpoorah, where Grnme Mercer, Esq. the British Resident at Scindeah's Court, ac companied by W. Lindsay, Esq. had his first audi ence of the Maharajah. According to advices last week from Loodeaunah, Runjeet Sing was then at Lahore, having returned from his campaign against the Chieftains of the hills. It would appear that Soojah ul Moolk still conti nues to maintain a strenuous, but unsuccessful strug gle for his Monarchy, in the Northern districts of Candahar. MADRAS, JANUARY 21. The Officers of the army are quiet, and that is all that can be said ; their inveterate hatred to Sir G. Barlow remains in full force ; but the King's troops have subdued and overawed them. ColOnel Bell, of the artillery, is the only one who has yet been tried ; his sentence still remains a secret. I believe his life is nut of danger, and that a general pardon will be granted by Lord Minto, whose conduct has been mer ciful in the extreme, to all the other Officers who had the option of dismission or Courts-martial. Some of the baleful fruit of this mutiny is, however, now ri pening. Holkar's forces, commanded by a Chitf called Ameer Kahn. presuming on the effects of the mutiny, are now making war upon us, but under other pre tences. They are opposed by a potent army, commanded by that experienced and•gallant officer, Colonel Barry Close, the force of which is as follows : 22d Light Dragoons, 15(1) Mysore Horse, 500 Mogul Horse, 500 Nizam's Horse, five Regiments Company's Na tive Cavalry, (exccil: , nt troops), horse and foot artil lery, his Majeity's 31th Regiment, seven battalions of Coast Naive Infantry, two battalions Nizam's Native Infantry. This force, on the 30th December was on the eastern bank of the Narbadda river, and within 200 of a Ber gal army of great force.— When iGine(l, they were to proceed direct to Holkar's country and capital. Holkar is insane. The following is the state of the Bengal army : ARMY IN BUNDLECUND. - - The army assembled on the southern frontier of Bundlecund, under the command of Lieut.-Colcnel Martindell, was formed into brigades on the 10th ult. at Soopah, in the following order: lieutenant-Colonel Martindell, commanding the forces; Lieu tenant C.

The whole of the above force marched from their - - :round at Soopah, on the 12th ult. via Siranagor, and Jn the 16th encamped at Chatterpore, where it still remains, and will most probably continue till the ar 'val of the two regiments of cavalry ; which had not !Dined by the last accounts. One complete coin. iany of European artillery . , with a battering train, larched from Cawnpon!, the end of November, for ioopah, but were detained at Calpee. They have -ders to he in momentary readiness to move. The Lins in Bundlecund, from the Ist till the 12th of last month, were heavy and incessant. We have (with '25 men of war in the country) lost sloop of war and five Indiamen within it few months aiptured by the small force of the Isle of France, viz. is Majesty's sloop Victor, Captain Stopford ; Eu rope, Streatham, Windham, United Kingdom, and ...liarlton Indiamen. The value of tit_ raw silk on board the two first ships (ten Licks of rupees) would lay the whole expellee of an expel:ion against these ,wo little islands. Thy would fall to a certainty. The Bombay Courier of January 6, contains tLe fol 'wing account of the subsequent operations of the irce which took Rhus-ul Khynia, in the Persian itilph : From Rhus-ul-Khyma they proceeded to Lin g s on the Persian coast, where they destroyed 20 dows and boats without sustaining any loss. From thence the 7pedition sailed to the port of Lutt, situated on the north si!e of the Isle of Kisrna, where they arrived on the 26th of November. In the afternoon of that day, Moola Hussein, the Chief of tl:e place, sent on board Majesty's ship Chiffonne for the purpose of treat .lg for the surrender of the dows and bthitS, Which he agreed to do;_ but when the appointed tim e ar 'ved, he refused to give them up. Arrangements :et e accordingly made for the exercise of compulsory means. The dows and boats were ranged under ,ver of a small stone tort at the wc.tern extremity of e town. In the afternoon of the 27th three hundred men, l cons i st ing of the light comp.tny of the 47th, half a company of the 65th, with the Royal Marines belong lg to the Chiffonne, under the command of Lieute nant Drury, and the detachment of the 2d Native Infantry, assisted by . a party of seamen, und er Li eu - tenant Crichton. of the Chiffonne, who were em ployed-in bringing up a howitzer, were landed, and having taken possession of the town, proceeded to the. ittack of the Fort, and the destruction of the dows an boats, while the Fury, which drew little water, and the gun-boats, were employed in keeping up a smart fire on the Fort. The dons and boats, eleven in number, among which were three very large dows, mere completely destroyed. The Fort ntade an ob stinate resistance ; but was at last delivered up by Moola Hoosein, together with all the property which he had plundered from the Imaum. It was taken pos session of by a detachment of his Majesty's 47th re giment, and was the next day delivered up to Sheik Lervish, the head of a tribe of Benimain Arabs, at tached to the Imams of Muscat, in trust for the latter. Itiloola Hussein was allowed to depart in safety. The enemy had between 70 and 80 killed end wounded. Our loss was not inconsiderable. We have to regret the death or Lieutenant Weld, of the 47th, on this occasion.

On Sunday, accounts were received in town from Berar, of a second action, between the troops of the Rajah of Nagpore, and the arm! of Meer Cawn ; in which the troops of the latter were defeated with con siderable loss. The part'culars of this action arc not yet received ; but we understand that the defeat was complete, a part of Meer Cawn's army fled in dis order. From the inauspicious -opening of the cam paign, on the part of Meer Cawn, it is supposed, that many of his corps, who were allured to follow his camp from the hope of plunder, will hastily retire from so unprofitable a service. PRINCE OF WALES' ISLAND GAZETTE, NOV. 4. On Thursday, the Trowbridge, Captain Gourlay, arrived from China, whence she sailed the 10th of September, and came down the inner passage. Off Cape \tuella, the Trowbridge encountered a great deal of bad weather, which fatigued the crew very much. The markets were not the most favourable, but the arrival of s,:zre Americans with dollars had put fresh spirits into the trlcr:hants. The Ladrones were very numerous and daring, 101 sail were lying at the second bar when the Trow bridge p Issed, seemingly with the intention to attack her. They had attacked the Auspicious and Duda loy going in, and did them some damage. An American brig, with tour lacs of dollars on board, was attacked and nearly carried ; but, from their bad manoeuvring, she escaped, and took refuge under the guns of his Majesty's ship la Ded.tigneuse, then lying in the Tiper, who has since gone against them. The Mercury, of this port, has been taken up by the Chinese Government at 2000 dollars per day, and fitted out as a privateer; 50 Americans had volun teered their services on board. Capt. Williams, late of the Palmer, was in command of the Mercury. The Britannia, also of this port, had been taken up by the Manilla Government at a very handsnme rate, fc'r the porposc of visiting the Phillipine islands and collecting the revenues. Captain Court remained on shore to dispose of the cargo. The markets at Ma nilla are stated to be very bad. The Trowbridge spoke the Mornington, four days since m China, who has proceeded on to Calcutta. I3y the Morningtnn, Captain Gourlay, information has been received that his Majesty's ship Plizzon, Sir E. Pellew, had arrived in China, ;tiler having en. countered a typhon in the China seas, which had torn her almost to pieces. Luckily her topmasts and lower yards were snug, so that she had not sustained any damage in her tackling. The Auspicious from China, and Betsey from Ma anchored in Malacca roads the evening of the Trowbridge's departure, so that their arrival may be hourly looked for. Nov. I I.—On Thursday, the brig Betsey, Capt. Howell, anchored in the harbour from Manilla, Ma cao, and Malacca. In our last, we mentioned that the Betsey had en countered a gale which had done her much detriment; WP can 11(:\V state with certainty, that from the 16th of September until the 10th ultimo, she was assailed by a series of gales iiom the S.W. attended with un common heavy swAls ; during which period she lost three top-masts, and was much shattered in her rig ; and, in consequence of springing her mainmast, was obliged to bear up for Carneigu bay, on the coast of Cochin China, to refit, where they staid four days, and secured the mast the best possible manner, without the least assistance from the shore. Letters received from Manilla by this conveyance uniformly state that the markets were very bad, that the Madras adventurers had cline scarcely any thing: oue letter says, that the Madras ships have not sold one thousand dollars worth, and they have been rob bed of 750 pagodas." The Acapulca ship left Manila with the Betsey. Britannia had been taken up by the Manilla Govern:Twat. to proceed to the Marian Islands, for Spanish dollars, five thousand ; it was expected she would perform the voyage in two months, which would enable the vessel to quit Manilla on her return to India, if not disposed of, one of the first by the di rect passage, in which case it is the intention of the Commander to bring on ten or twelve horses. The Baring, ' Captain Elliott, had arrived at Ma nilla from China, a few days prior to the sailing of the Betsey. INREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. HAMBURG/1, JUNE :15. The French Minister had for some time been ap prised, that certificates of origin, and passports, pur porting to be from the French Legation here, were an article of clandestine traffic. The mode of ma. nufacturing them was to erase by a chemical process, from genuine documents, previously used, the num ber, date, and writing, in the body of the instrument, the printed part, official seal, and signatures being left in the original state. His Excellency has been fortunate enough to discover the perpetrators of these forgeries. A man of the name of Scherer has been apprehended at his own house, and a lodger and accomplice, named Levatix, who had gone about two hours before to Harburgh, was apprehended on his return home in the evening, by the Police Officers. In their apartments was faund fhe whole apparatus, which they employed in executing their nefarious purposes, and also four counterfeited certificates and p issports completely finished. These men will be delivered over to the tribunals, and punished with the utmost rigour of law. It is impossible to put the ' Merchants to o muc h on t h e i r guar d aga i nst p l ac i ng confidence in intriguers, offering them take passports land certificates, by which, not only their property, but also their persons, may be exposed to danger. JUNE lc Admiral 4antaarez has , received ordess to release all the Swedish coasters which he had detained, and henceforth not to molest the SwediA coasting vessels, be their cargoes what they may. PRESBUROH, JUNE IS. It is reported that sixteen regiments, chiefly Hun garians, have received orders to march to the Turkish frontiers. The officers are directed to take no bag gage but what is absolutely necessary. Orders have, at the same time, been given for filling the magazines in Hungary with every description of stores. VIENNA, JUNE 17. The French surgeons that were left to attend to the French soldiers in our hospitals have received orders to proceed to Spain. The whole of their sick and wounded here do not exceed 2000 men.—lmportant intelligence is speedily expected from Turkey. This day arrived here the Persian Legation, on its return from Paris to Persia. The late Turkish Am bassador at London is also expected ; some of his suite have a ready arrived. MUNICH, JUNE lg. An article from Lyons, in the French papers, states, that the Toulon fleet was ready to put to sea in the beginning of last month ; that numerous de. tachments of conscripts were again marching to Italy to complete the French regiments there ; and that a considerable body of French troops was assembling at Rome. According to the same article, the French and Neapolitan atmy, collected in Calabria for the expedition against Sicily, is estimated - at 30,000 men. They were expected to be all embarked by the 20th ultimo. The number of the conscripts enrolled this year in the kingdom of Westphalia amounts to 8000, exclu sive of those for the three Hanoverian departments. An article from Semlin says, that the Russian En. voy had made overtures to the Servian Council, for entering into the closest connexion with the Court of St. Petersburgh. BANKS OF THE MAINE, JUNE 2s. The division of Morand has received orders to hold itself in readiness to march to the North of Germany. The 17th regiment of light infantry of the line marched on the 26th from Hoff, and the other regi ments composing this division will follow in suc cession A Letter from Wurtzburgh of the l9th says—" On the 17th, in the evening, the Administratiun of the Grand Park of Artillery received orders, in pur suance of which it immediately set off for Nlanheim.

From the former it appears that the French troops which were stationed on the Austrian trrnt . ..is, have, for the greater part, received orders to prrceed to t...e north of Cerman7. Not a conjecture is bizarded respecting the object of these movements, nor is it possible to conceive what new views now occupy the mild of NAPOLEON. There is nothing in the state of the north of G-rmany, at this time, to c4ll for the presence of French troops ; and yet they are pour:ng inter it as if a di.embarkation in Sweden, the occupa. Lion of Holstein, or some further humiliation to the Court of Berlin were intended. The Dutch papers announce officially the resinatina of LOCIS King of Holland in favour of his elJest son, NAPOLEoN Lows, and in failure of him to his brother CuAncEs Louis NAPOLEON, both infants, and Juriag whose minority the Queen of Holland is to exercise the Sovereignty as Regent, assisted by a Council of Regency. We cannot conceive the use of such a farce, NAPOLEON might as well have at once taken possession of the country, it being impossible that any one can be deceived.by so barefaced a trick, as that by which the Hollanders are tints so bitterly mocked. Loge complains in his Proclamation, that he has incurred the resentment of his brother, which is extremely pro bable ; it is also very possible that he might rerson ally chuse rather to resign his throne, than to become an instrument of dire oppression over the Dutch peo ple, at the w ill and caprice of NAPOLEON ; but tie most intelligible commentary upon the whole tra:., action, is the announcement, that French troops were to enter Amsterdam on Wednesday last, whom the uafortimate Dutch are warned to treat with every pos sible respect. They will, no doubt, behave to them with the same respectful fear as the lamb would to the tyger. The Queen of Holland was absent at the time of Lotus's abdication, receiving probably in structions front NAPOLEON, as to the manner in which she should act as Regent, in order most effectually to aid his views and projects, the execution of which her husband appears to have refused to abet. The last hope of the Dutch seems now to have fled, for k can not make the slightest difference to them, whether their country is annexed to France, or whether they are governed, or rather oppressed by a French m!I -tary force, under the semblance of a Regency, or in the name of a child.
