The tmops of *le Berar Rajah have been drawn towards the ft-tinders of Cundeish :—he enters into the war, however, with extreme relit :lance :—he urges his recent severe losses as the occasion of his backwardness ; but the real cause is, his ft iendly disposition to any power hostile to the British tere, The Peishwa co-operates heartily with the Eng lish in the war ;—his political considerations in do ing so being strengthened by personal hatred to Holkar i who lately imprisoned a V a ke e l s en t f rom Poonab to accommodate some diferences which sub sisted between the two states. In addition to this powerful combination against I Tolkar, most of the petty Princes are urged to hos tility by his rapacity.

The truly honourable and generous condua of the Dire tors rf the Royal Canal has given every citizen 9f Dublin a warm and anxious interest in the success of their works.

She appears to be the Dart cutter, of Belfast bound to Gibtaltar with 18 bozcs of soap, L.' of limo, and same tons of potatoes. The vessel had been a French privateer, and was represented by the crew as unsound, and of very little value. The account given by the master is, that she was leaky, and that water increased upon them so fast during the night that she went down ; though they were within hail of the shore, and might easily have procured hands suincient to keep her ft ee. lameness of the story and the circumstances of her being guava, have induced the Gentlemen who in terested themselves in her preservation to transniit this account to the public papers, in ruder to afford the agents of an excellent and often abused in stitution. timely opportunity of investigating the transaaion.—( Weirs-Psi IN !Trot.)
