The Calcutta Government Gazette, of His 4th of ~Rust, contains an Address of Congratolilies lo Ilse Manilas of Hastings, on his triamphaat return the seat of Government, ■fter his late most sac. .safal campaign. The Wowing is the reply of the ioble Margolis, is which he deselepes the whole policy which dictated the water's taken against the Piedaries sad the Millirem% Chiefs:-- ra Gletrtescs, —rho compliment with which you honour me is truly gratifyisig. Were I to consider you merely as mon sif worth and talent, desirooe of mark.; ing your frimadthip towards me by a flattering civility, rho distinction conferred upon me by Ihe favour from persons of mcb stamp Irma demand the warmom so. toss feast my boort. I softest yea to believe that yen do meet that return; but Mitt much, very ',tech, Super. added to it. In the satisfactiou lam osejoying, there meaothiog far beyond individual Tastily. the senti ments which yes hairs Woo pleased this day to cape's' are sot attired to me alone. They aro voschers ten. tiered to our coontrymeo at homy. lam not allud ing to the pride I most natorally feel in hating each teationory bore. respecting me to oar oilier land : the aseastishich you have awakesed io me is of a higher qsalig, A shier seep, inwparohlo (rots your treatment of soltect than what applies I. me porsosally. You are pr ing whether they "ho smy be said to have represented the British chit. rider on the occasion, did faithfully and becomingly fetid that elated trust t end your proximity, your stations, your racked vigilance, eminently qualify on for returning a verdict, while your metihnod would make you spurn at giving, ihrnoch courtesy. 'n opinion which your judgment belied. Many of on have had to contemplate your most important private interests as staked an the transactions to whleb you refer; bat all of you hare felt that the national honour, in which you were severally 'hirers was in /olveal in the purpose and tenor of the messeres I had the lot to guide. Ueder sorb an impression, r , him stood !forward to attest oho dignity of British the Pindarrits, to Sad refire in the Western Coon. try. A provisional agreement was settled with those States, instantly en our obtaining UM right to take them slides oar protection. 66 A more derisive coudect was requisite !overdo stomper Khan. As Ma head was perfessedly Whist every man who had any thing Id lose, the baud of every man might justly be raleddegainst him. Thera were no engspments, 'sprees or tarried, betimes him and as. He was, therefore, (Motif, told of oar reseleilon not to suffer Mt cototinesare of • poi. &tory system in Central India. An °collo* was 05 this principle offered, that he should subscribe to the disbanding of his army, or witness the attack of it in its separated conditios. Should he (hoofs the former cootie, he woeW be gearenteed in the pv..- 5641100 of the territorlettle had wow tram States whom injuries we had no obligation to redress ; should he risk the latter, he would be followed •p as a freebooter, with the keenest pursuit that could be instituted against • critnitsal disturber of the public pease. He bed sagacity enough to com prehend that soy pracedore but submission, wits hopes less. The positions pined by us, through celerity at the oet-set, rendered the satiation of those with whom he had to deal, defeucelms. Scindia was closely penned between the centre division on the banks of the Sind', and Majer.General Dookin's divisioa, oft the banks of the Chambui. The latter corps menaced Arneer Khan on one side, while Sir D. Ochtee. Inney's nvethong that Chief ow the other ; and the division under Sir W. met, pretested his escaping southward. In this ettr 'oily, Afne.r Khan took the wise step of throwing hiMseif ors our 11. hers! justice. His artillery wet surrendered to us ; his army was disbanded ; and the Dritish Go vernment stood free from embarrassment in that quarter. At that period, which was early in Novem ber, I had to consider the objects of the campaign se completely gained : for the Pindarries, sensible of the impracticability of malotaining themselves io their own territories, had begun their march td fall back, i on supports of which they did not then know I bad deprived them ; and were Surrounded by ear did ! 1 sioos which were then dogleg in open the m (rota every side. An apparently well. grounded hope was thence entertained, tkatAlie extensive retolatioa which importantly changed the fortunes dt S. many IStates, would be perfected, without the effusion of ether blood this *bat might be shed la the dlspiesloa I of the Plegarries. _ leveed with the Reproved letelligeen amprired, by their having learned to m 00000 e our movements. It was indispensable to ',anguish theta wholly. We were not blind to the difficulties of the task. The interception and dispersion of between 45 and 30,000 horsemen, lightly equipped end insularly inured to fatigue, on the immense field over ishieh they had the power of sang in any direction, was en opera. tion that required no ordinary effort. Much more, however. was to be taken into calculation than the the agility of eer enemies. It was certala that their peril would be regarded with the resent anaisty by Scindia and by /lona Khan. I leave Hollisr out of thecpaestien, though he was tolerated in the resat, for a mean which I will hereafter "Apish,. The naiades were at& lotegral, though an weavoured, and nesetimes har dl y manaioable part of the army of Scindia. They were always the ready etnitheiie ei AIMM Khali, with whom community of object, ea. l pine, gave them community of feeling. It was then. fore, sere that those two Chiefs wool., be streams in manteratieg our attempts to destroy the Pinder. rtes—enderlanad, as long as their practice could be concealed—in arms, when di.guiee could no looser avail. We had, consegeently, to aim at biceps& toting Scindia and Amen Khan from tang this part they meditated. Enough was gained from Seindia, could we place him under an inability of moving; but much more was requisite in respect to Ameer Khan. Though his liege army was Wen fashioned sled more systematically agonised than de l l Pindarry force, still he was emeatially neater' bet a leader of freebooters. It was of hods mental agency that his army should be disbanded. Though it consisted of 54 bandies', with above 150 pieces of cannon, and a powerful cavalry, it was luckily dispersed In small corps, either for the occu pation of the widely separated pitches of territety •hicts he had woe from different Chiefs, es for the ratertioe of means of subsistence from weaker States. My hope of rendering Scindia and Amer Khao unable to struggle, rested on this, that I should assemble my fore* before they inspected my intention, and push it forward with a rapidity which should make any con centration of their troop. impracticable. The mere immovability of Scindia would not have answered my porpose. The IPindarries, if pressed by me, Weald have t sod his dominions, and gained the Western States, whither I should be precluded from fel. lowing by a bee lusuperable, as long as It existed. We were bound by treaty with Scindia, to have co communication whatever with these States, so that the , pPinderrin ereekl,is Undisguised Rajpoot terrine's', have found not only deviser, bet the facility of ens. Wein their face with that of Ameer Khoo. I ani .hewing to yes, that even bete, the bonds of robin faith were, in my contemplation, leis sureseentable than physical obstacles. Do you think that I solved this Inaba men by an illicit use of the advantage which I succeeded in gaining peer Scindia, by plant ing m) self in the midst of his divisions. and prohibit. ing any attempt at their junction! You do not be. leave it ; yet you will like to beer explained on what title I required from him the abrogation of that inter• dim, which forbade our latereeerse with the Western States. No treaty, in truth,was "'tiling between stand Sciatic He had dissolved it, first by exciting the Pinclarrie. to invade our territories, that be might see how a desultory mode of war might affect our power; secondly, by leading himself the year be fore, to the profligate Rodgers of the reishea. for the subversion of British .preponderancy ; thirdly, by specific promises given to the Pladarvies, of 'salt ine common cause wish them, should they he driven to @ agency. Will it be said that this was pos sibly the construction which we put en doubtful information? Though the Pindarry Chiefs, now prisoners with me, have since boast, evidence to the truth of all these facts, my vindication shall not repose itself there. Jest as I was taking the field, I caused to he delivered to Send's, in open dirtier, his own lettera, signed with bls own hand, and sealed with his man ptiVite seal, addressed to a Foreign Government, and evincing the most hostile machi. nations. already metered against us. Nothing was said to him on the delinry of those letters, ether than that the Governor-General had not wished to peruse them, and that his Highness would per. coin the seals were unbroken. I had no need to peruse them, because their contents were displayed by the letters of inferior agents, referring te, and illustrating the expressions of. the Maharajah. These particulars are communicated to you, that pat may see how steadily, not withstanding the laxity of the other patty, our plan of upholding the exist ing native Governments of India was maintained. Did Seindia dispute the verity of the proofs bronght against him ? Nu such thing. Jle sunk under the code ine of the unexpected detection. These was no denial, no attempt at explanation, no endeavour to extenuate the quality of the Secret Co pondence. On our part, the sole advantage drawn from the circumstance, was additional security for the ac complishment of our measures against the Pinder. ties. The Maharajah, was told in a mild and conciliatory terms, that the B itish Government would give way to no vindictive impulse, on em vaunt of what had passed. but would regard his Highness's aberrations as an indiscretion, arising from his not having sufficiently considered the ties of amity seb.iatine between us ; be it was added, that as those ties had not splinted firm enough to our just it:•-•reits, a new Treaty should be proposed, which, while it pteserved to the Maharajah all the solid benefits enjoyed by him ender the former one, would give as the certimity of annihilating the Pin. dardes. Sciorlia gladly weed to the terms, which pledged him to active co-operation aesi...t the f ro hooters, and set us at liberty to make ti OA engage ments with the Illjpont States, which alone could induce them to towable!: ari! eppow any attempt a justice has not been sullied. It is a declaration se priority &meal ; for my portion in the aggregate of British fame is mere touching to me than a ',penal- and selfish reputation. Your genermin per. tiality towards me has not bestrayed von into an ie. discreet averment on that point. When we weer forth to punish wren, we were aware how mock it behoved is to watch over ourselves that strength avid success might sot seduce as into any act of oppreselee. I venture to Wises that violence or mentors osacties cannot wklf dm faintest coiner of truth be impaled to oar precederes. This, however, shall not rest es general @maitre. You shall be minutely satisfied. Though from the distinct feature of occurrences you hate with a gallant confidence maintained our equity, it will be pleasing to each of you to learn details which will enable you respectively to say, ' I was not carried away by the kind warmth of my feelings; here are circemsisoces which, to my deliberate reflection, irrefrsgibly cookie the conclusions I drew from a less particular statement' of the case. The field of oar operations was so vast that you often did net in Calcutta learn events which look place in remoter parts, till after you had been visaged of others considerably posterior which oc curred in nearer quarters; so that you did not lee now one transaction rose oat of another. You will understand them better when they.are presented to toe in a regular chain. In laying them before you I cannot make Boy inconsiderate disclosers. lam Acting in the sr •rit of our Ilon.

I..in or the wish of adding • rend to the dominions of the lion. Compa it) , Our knowledge of the decided re pugnance, with which any anions,' of Wending our territorial po••essions is always viewed at home, would have forbidden such a project. Territory, in !red, was lobe wrested from none bet the Pindarries : and you will readily comprehend the policy whichdictated that sods conquests should be divided between the Nabob of Bopaul, Scindis, and !Milker. It was easeful to strengthen the former, who had attached himself to es so devotedly ; and it was desirable that the two blahratta Sovereigns should perceive a degree of ad vantage for themselves to t•-mpensate for the ono voidable dissatisfaction they were to suffer from the completion of oar enterprise. The suppression of the Plnt laic., was our single object. You have unequi vocally proclaimed the absolute necessity of that ob ject ; sod I canons imagine the man musts, who would represent it rib one of speculative espediency. Eves in that light, the ectirpation of the Pindarries weed have been a justifiable and a wise teedertaking. As association, whose undisguised principles is to subsist by plundering all around it, is a body placed by its own act in a stale of war, with every regular Govern meant. To crush such a confederecy, before it should further increase that stretigth which every year obvi ously augmented, would have been a legitimate and a prudent cause of exertion. But such considerations were long vise by. We were called upon by the most imperious duty witching upon a Government, that of protecting its subparts from desolation, so prevent the repetition (confessedly preprint) of in vasions, which had for two years comma vrly fr. yard the Madras Dependencies with citrumstances of enesampletl horror S on that priimple we re. solved to take the field.

This place being nearly inaccessible, Bapoo seemed determined to hold out ; bet on the Ist Inst. some gains and howitters were got up to within 500 yards df the wall. The enemy kept up a saiping fire upon the troops who wet, escorting the guns ; and Bapoo, as soon as bet hood that the artillery wu to battery, agreed to 'snoods?. " On the 2d, he quitted the fort, and the gate was occupied by a company of the 21th.

The city is fuitified all round, and has leog beee a place of mesh sot,. It was here that Jebarsgere received an Ambassador from England, Sir Thomas Roe, some years ago.
