Some indications given eat lv in the evening induced Lieut. lquriav, in command of the Ilindootiahs, to suspect this aid by a happy foresight, in which he displayed equal jud:iment and disci etinn, he placed himself in a situation to obstruct their retreat, in which he was eminently successful, and all' ided an opportunity to the Hindooriahs to manifest an additi •nal proof of their devotion to the cause, by a dis play of courage highly creditable.

FROM THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE, JUNE 15, 1815. Our letters from the northwest divisions of the army are chiefly occupied in detailing the interesting ceremonies of the evacuation of Malown and Jvtuk, by the two illustrious Goorkha leaders. Umr Sing had commenced his march to the south-east, and would be joined by his son at some inter mediate post between Ramghur and Nahun. The former was escorted by a subaltern officer, and a company of the 2d battalion 6th regiment native infantry. It was understood that he would likewise be accompanied to Kumaoon by Lieut. Murray, the officer in command of the irregulars. With the exceptions of the 2d battalion Ist regiment native in fantry, and battalion 6th regiment native infantry, left to garrison the posts lately surrendered by the enemy, the corps composing General Ochterlony's division, had, previously to the 20th ultimo, broken tip. and commenced their return to their respective can ton inercs. It is scarcely to be wondered, i that the officers universally exp. their joy at the cotnple dot) of a service, the extreme hardships and privati , )ns of which could only have been repaid by the brilliancy of its termination. A few companies were engaged in withdraw ing the guns and stores from the positions recently occupied by the troop: of the division. Front the untoward nature of the gr , ,und, this was an operation of great difficul•v Maiown itself is rept esented as being a miserable hole, sin dl and fil thy ; having only a scanty supply of stinking water. Mantras, JUNE Q 7 at noon, ryal salutes were fired from the fort and Chepauk palace, in honour of the success of the British arms, under Major-General Och terlonv, at.d of the cession of the province of ktimitoon to the British authority. The Right Hon. the Govern •r-G(. neral gave a grand military dinner on Tuesday to his Excel . lencv the Commander in Chief, on - his return from the camp; and on Thursday his Excellency gave a party at the Arneer Bang, which was attended by a numerous circle of the rank and beauty of Madras.

Extract of a letter from Hajjee, in the Budraj Mountains, dated Sd Mar, in latitude 30. 45. N. : " This is a charming country in point of climate and prod• pects, but the roads, which so much concern a traveller, are execrable. Horses are of no use, and we must trudge it on foot. The weather, however, still continues favourable for this method of locomotion, hitherto so little familiar to the Indians. But the sudden transition from the hears below to the chilly air above, is often attended with dreadful conse quences ; and the greatest care is necessary to avoid the terrible colds that are thereby caught. We are bete sur rounded with rich cultivation ; and every production of the plains, with a vast variety besides, flow ishes in perfection; raspberries, cranberries, peaches, and apricots, wild anti cul tivated, abound. The inhabitants are remarkah!v neat in their habitations, and as remarkably filthy in their persons. The women have three, and sometines font husbands ; and I P c..
