.- r C.I.I.t.UTTA PAPERS. Cer.curr.►, Nov. 10.—Our intelligence from the ittlerior of India speaks favourably of the general ~s nquillity of the country, and the satisfaction of r' t+ people at living under a Government, whose aim ss •ell as *hose interest it fortunately is to preserve to than the blessings of abundance, security, and t.erf. There are found, here end there, bowetrr, I.4.sroory brigands, who draw amend themselves ■ ~t of &literate adeentorers, end seek, in resistance I.) established authorities, and in plunder of the end industrious part of the popeletiou, vein a hirh neither their shines nor their talents would ptorsrat fur them in. regular and well-ordered cotlitetti.y. The Ittitoul Valley and the whole of the Pigment rotiotry have been prinelps!ty the /Cline of these late revolts, and we have *Merl the details of the opera. lions against the revolters there, as they have eau,- r..,1 from time to time. The most stebborn end Co..i .4eouv of the enemies with whom oar troops have LA to were Arabs end Goands, and among live .Min the first have been always the snit name. at being constantly bend in the holiest of the Linertaant Croiltshunk has pirticeisrly disiin glossed himself in these conical.; and Liestenant I woe, of she 7th cavalry, has been so closely en. as te have bad two horses shot under him nisisin the two lest mouths, besides being wounded himself. oy their small detachment, a march of 00 wiles was made, end two battles foeght within the space of twenty-ail hoots, and the troops bore all wish firmness and cheerfulness, though the roads were esessally bad, and they lasted no food till the close of their gallant laboart. These roads in the territory of Nagpore are an had, that it is said only e a camels aervived oat of 46 and were employed for • very limited period near the bank of theNetbedds. major Boom, of the Madras army, has also dis. finguisholl himself in Harrel gallant actions with thew Coated' and Arabs, and particularly he an 'Mar against Buordetw, where the rising of the stream in some ntillahs having cot off his impacted reinforcements, be bravely dashed on with only 100 infantry, and drove five times that number out of thy town before him, 300 of whom were afterwards cut up by the cavalry. Major Wilson has also earned his portion of mili tary reputation, by the taking of Pawner, another strong post, seated on ilia beaks of a river, about 23 miles to the S.E. of Nsgpore. The details of this :.:111ent storm greases as ~fleet the highest crredit on t,e courage and skill of those engaged. The Mogul horse, oho are attached to Major Wilson's patty, be haved also with greet bravery, and evinced, what this conduct of Indian troops has always so conspiceoealy Fhoivii, that good leaders and brave chieftains era al most all that are wanting to make disciplined soldiers, and couragpout men. The lest letters we have from liasseinahad, are of ;hp dale of the 10th of October, and they inform as th a t Sheik't 1)11:on, n cplehr4ted PiIIaSTPP Chief, i‘ss made his aillearstacc in the livitool Valley with * :rain of f.i.tourrs, and that Amorh Sahib himself WWI about maLe a movement to the eastward. .1 he Madre troorw, 6.!t14 our Correspondent, are fakir; tn.t •ttrr fort in the niglanurhood of Nig. p , •re; stud the Es-lt%jal.'s resources, be adds, are in completely ►xhausted, that he may loon be expected to etfert an escape from his ono troop., and throw himself on the enemy of the enemy whom be Las au fruitlessly braved. SSINI:A BAD. CA LCUTT %. Oct. 20.— We have been favoured with a private :otter from this quarter, which states, that 00,10 the coentry is in a state of quiet at present, the revolting disposition of the People is likely to furnist• siltscieut Deception for the troops in the neighbourhood. Appah Sahib is said to be enl'ecting 1 is forces in all directions, and I parties of his Lilhrients have secured themselves in forts and strong holds at but a shoot distance from limier,. A de tachment of troops had gone out against these, bet accounts of the success of their operations had not remelted. Major Bowen, of the Madras Establish ment, had killed about 300 of the Goands and Arabs who were in the Iteitool Valley, and still limber skirmishes were likely to take place before perasamset trampling weeld be restored.

By recent letters front this place, we learn tbat his Majesty's 67th Regiment of root were on astir march from Bombay towards Strom, which adds confirmation to what sus before stated, regardiog she state of the late Prishwa's territory, assd the ne cessity that (misted for additional force beiog seat leto that quarter.

The Order of the Day called for ' the discussion of the Preject of Law relative to the monopoly of tobacco, which, after • short debate, was adjourned till the morrow. A report was made on various Petitions, amongst which was on from Coltish' Prison, the grenadier who send the life of Donaparty, at St. Cloud, en the 18th of Brentaire. lie claimed the full payment of the pepsin of 600 francs granted him o■ the, otra►ion, by the Conn lar Government, ander Ills title of a stational recom pose*, anti alio his half-pay of 600 francs, which together sninosited to en anneal sem of 1200 francs; but as the law of th• ISth of May (which the re. ceipt of Iwo pensions of • darner,' mature, that which Captain Pearce received ender t►e title of a mom pence had been rescinded, and he only enjoyed half pay, agreeably to his rank. On this subject, the Reporter observed,that in Ibis CUM the law, in its application, was in opposition to the Charter. The King, in that solemn deed, had guaranteed to all Frenchmen the pensions and ranks which they enjoyed. The half 'My of that premise had been fulfilled towards the Petitioner ; if his half. pay, which represented active pay according to hie rank, could not be received additiou to the pension of which he was previously in full enjoyment, the Pe. titioner should be placed on active service, or it could ont be denied they were unjust towards him. The Commission therefore recommended that the Petition should be referred to the Commissions( Ezpeoditere, which was adopted by the Chamber. French Fends, April 3—Five per Cants. 67f. —Bank Stock, 1,530 f. Faacgroar, Aenlr. I.—The public mind at this moment is eaclesively occupied relative to the infor mation obtained from the in of M. de Kotzebue, Lefore his death, and the private motives whkh could actuate him to commit the crime. All that is posi tively kuown is, that the a in, according to his nun statement, quitted Jean early en the moraine of 'be 9.h March ; end from thence he proceeded to Erlangen, where he requested a passport for the herders of the Maine. lie set off from Erlangen on the 18th, sud arrived port on lb. evening of the 22d Ist Lorrh, bye leagues from Minimise, on the other of the Rhine. At birch he hired • peasant's cart, and arrived at Manikin+ on the , 211, at 10 o'clock in the morning. The wretch displayed much tempo. sure, even after committinic the deed ; be has Mono no symptoms of repentance whatever. Ilis answers, which be has been permitted to make in writing, as far as was consistent with his enfeebled condition, state, M. de Kotzebue deserved death ; that be bad no pri vate revenge against hint; but that for a long time he had resolved upon Ms death, on account of the erimos of which he had been guilty against Germany; that he was tranquil because he bad ascended ; that he had no accomplice, and that his crime could only be imputed to himself. 'lbis fanatic appeared to feel no other regret than for the relatives of his victim.— Yesterday, his attendants were compelled to tie his hand., to pr him from tearing off the bandages and opening his wounds. his caterer is agreeable; and all the information which has bees collected with respect to his conduct before the amass/seine is very favourable. The body of M. de Kotzebue has been opened ; all the organs were found in as sound • state es those of a young man; it is therefore presumed that he might have heed to an trimmed age. Ile was 87 years old, end professed t►e Lutheran relights. 11-1 E STATESMAN Frs■e.. The trade of tobacco Implies that of snuff stew, pod almost every Preaches's, frees the black ait4th'i appreallie up to the Havre COMET - ABIA in Ake, snuffs or smokes this odoriferous herb, and many indulge both nose and mouth with the foreign vegetable lesury. It need ant therefore he matter of surprise, that the wary patriotic part of the Chem , ber of Deputies are jealous as to the manner of both collecting and disposing of so fruitful a source of re. . A singular application has been made, by way of petition, to the same Chamber in favour of a man who claimed the confinement of s pension, originally granted to him for saving lib@ life of BONAPARTE! Although our Courtly scribes la favour of Idagitimacy woe'd advise the kicking sash a Petition oat of the Senate; )et we cannot see a more reasonable demand. We say (and so would the above resumers, upon op posite grounds), that the soldier should not be a po litician, as hi is bound to to the orders of his superiors is command. Ile prese►ved the life of his Chief Commander, and by t►at act of personal brave ry he is entitled to the notice and reused he received. —Cnautts 11. of England might as consistently, as generously have continued a pension to a corporal of woodier., who hod intrepidly haaarded his life to save that of esea OLIVER Caomwee.t. ea the field of i battle. By the 'streets from the Calcutta Papers, which arrived yesterday, it will be seen that the vast plain of India, like the vast fare of the ocean, is sweetish, tranquil. After ot.e greet coulic►, as ie the case of a tremendous Iterates', the surface sinks again into a calm. Bet the elements which agitate the moral part of that vast empire, like the planets, which awaken and call into action the vast body of waters, contain iseabassiible combustion, and we can never espect to be without some satiety for the continuance of peace, however confidently it may be proclaimed. These (Latent, these valuable pos sessions in the East, must ever be objects of soli citude, as well to the pride, as to the fortune and welfare of Great Britain. We think them of sn such consequence in every point of slew as to call up in es some observations of a general nature, whirl. we have more then *ace been ready to eller to our Readers. These late accounts of the little ereptions is the neighbourhood of our India Sovereignty, will not fail to hasten their production. Indeed it ap pears that in 'ewersl rich districts io the very heurt of India, perfect tranquillity has never been re. stored. Two adreisterons Chiefs, tole greatly !celebrated among the Hoare's, named Snsrkn DULLOO, is now it teems at the bead of a train of followers. Another aspiring Chieftain, Arra SAHIB, is also collecting his forces in all directions ; and ho add to all this the Inhabitants of the late PLI•11 WA . a territory are dissatisfied and restless, and as is ap prehended, would be glad, and reedy to avail them. ! selves of an opportusity to try their fortune again in hopes of a more successful result. A colemperary Journal snakes a fierce attack upon a provincial one, because a writer in it has predicted the fall of the Wnt India Islands into the dumittioo of the Americans ; and that the trident of those seas will be wrested out of the hands of Greet Britain.— Why there is ISO usaccompliabed event more probe. hie. It has been foreseen for a long time past ; but since the cession of the Florida' by Spain to ilds growing State, it is become obvious to the most super ficial Stateless.. Is a man then to be blamed who predicts a misfortune, as though he were the author of it ?--Why not throw his Weeding on a *elfish, conceited, place-loving set of Ministers, who have bad the wielding of more power, and the disposal of more t►easure, ten times over, than any equal number of men, from the origin of the British Monarchy ? And in what way have they espendanl this money, and thrown away this force?
