PRITZLER'S DIVISION. ✓ On the 30th Mere'', after the surrender of the forts of Chundun, Wunrlmt, Wryruntglinr, Paudoogleur, Renzelghitr, and Csimul glisir, the division marched from Sattarab to Tem- Wai, at the hint of the KolgliuterGhaws, 13 osiles N.W. of Sewall ; Wassota tieing distant 16 miles ti.E. from l'ainbai. The fortl.er 'dunce of die division with the park and stores not being prac ticable, a light detachment, under Cul. Hewitt, C. was pushed on to within four miles of the fort of Wss.ota on the 31. t. Clio detachment haw tog been dreadfully harassed during eleven hours march in forcing its way through jungle. The following slay, the Ist of April, posts were se cured round the fort, which completely cut off the retreat of the purism). From the Taunton camp, the pioneers were actively employed in cutting a road over the Kolgliutty Ghana, to enable the elephants to carry over on their backs two mortars and two Isowiteers.• The rapidity wills giblets this arduous si soder ta kint was effected test ifies the zest and ability of those employed in it : and by the 4th the pioneers had completed a road for elephants to the foot of Ohl Wassota-hill. a distance of 17 miles, Nod hail also cut a foutspath through the forest trees and jungle to the summit ; the whin its circuit up the hill extending et least u mile and a half. Up thus foot-path, which in massy parts was so perpen dicular as to render steps cut in the hill necessary, two snorters and two howitzers were carried on mess's ehoulders; and by seven o'clock on the morning of the sth the indefatigable exertions of the artillery had completed a mortar awl howitzer battery. The tort of %Violate is situate at the end of an extremely narrow valley. 111 figure it is a triangle, the base being to the east ; the other two sides run down Into the Kookun, a perpendicular sheet of rock of two or three thousand feet. Old Wassota is n 1110Ulltalll higher than the New Wombs, connected at its base with the latter, its sum poi, tieing distant about one thousand yards. Of course it commands and completely enfilades the eastern face of Williams, hut it is over a chasm of 'lie depth of 1,500 feet. On the 4th, the Rajah of Soweto, escorted by a wing of the auxiliary bat talion, ionic' Mr. Elphinstone in the camp before Wassota, and his presence being insufficient to ensure the submission of the eilledar, Marker and the surrender of the Rajah's family, who were coofisied in the fort, the last argument was had recourse to ; and she batteries opened on the 5111, at the risk of sacrificing the lives of the families a the Sattarali Princes, and also the lives of Messrs. flouter and Morrison, confined in the fort. From the elevated situation of the battery, almost looking Glows) into Wassota, the effect of even shell could lie observed, and it was a reccived opinitos that the 'dace would not be tenable two hours ; shell was thrown after shell. ;mil the day passed away ; mod from the cool manner iii which 110111 e of the garrison continued to walk about the fort, the sur render of the place was despaired of without the seisistatice of the twelve pounders (and to have got diem would Isere required eight days snore). It must have been with some satisfaction, therefore, the authorities in camp received a tender of submission in the night of the sth, and oss the morning of the (kb the fort was in our 'lauds. The consequences of this surrender were of great moment. Movers. Hunter and Morrison were released from a captiw pity of fire months. The wives of the Settands Princes were released and restored to their hus bands, and the Rajah of Satter:Ali recovered family jewels to the amount of three loci. The prize pros perty ausomited to about two Lacs. The garrison had honourable terms.

After the fall of Seedgliur, preparations were made to reduce the former. The fortis situate on a steep rocky bill, close to the Nlasioora river; sod great difficulties were experienced in snaking a road through the country, which was also rocky and billy. The batteries for two 12-pounders and a howitzer were constructed on this side (below Rhos'. ►atghur, °lraq to she difficulties of the ford in crossing the brevetting guns), and, having been completed by six o'clock on the morning of the 29th, opened at puss-rise, which the enemy answered with a number of guns frosts the different towers, many of which were soon silenced by' the superiority of our fire. About aline o'clock five or six hundred of the enemy were seats strongly posted nu the opposite bank. Colonel unpack determined to Cross and attack them under cover of 'our batteries, and of a six-pounder detached under l.ieutrn•sst Lyons about a' mile to the right. He immediately formed two columns. each consisting of 40 of his Majesty's 89th Regiment, and 100 of the gd Regi meet Native Infantry, under the Commanitof Cap tain* Pearson and Gray ;• both 'moving off to the two fords at the same period to await a signal to crew*, which was performed in a most gallant and spirited manner, under a very heavy file on the right ce lawns from a stockade, in which several ginguls were planted, and on the left from a strong post occupied by about four hundred of the enemy. and from the fire of the fort; the river being about font hundred yards wide, with a deep and muddy bottom, was a difficult undertaking. but surmounted by the determined gallantry of the detachment, which formed on the opposite bank, and imme diately charged towards the enemy, who panic. struck fled in every direction. The garrison, ob. serving the rapid movement of the column, and the aught of their advanced toot, precipitately eesenated the fort, which was immediately entered by the heads of the columns, and without a single casualty on our part. The reduction of Blsugwat►tgl►ar was followed by our occupation of the town of A tchere„ all im portant sea-port, and by the capitulation of Rani glint ; and it was expected that Deoglsur, the only remaining bold the enemy possessed its the produce of Saber, would be abandoned.

'!'here are some person., however, of brains so strangely shallow, that they not unfreiluently mistake their own wishes and imaginings for less flattering truth and sober rea lm.... We lament that any cause of discontent should • be 'Offered to remain among this highly useful class of the *community. Spinners trod weaver'', from the very nature of their employment, and their habits of society, are very likely to hold, on every circumstance, opinions nearly unanimous, so that when incited to action they may generally be eiketed to act in concert. If a belief of ill usage should unhappily prevail among a consi derable body of them, it will be rapidly dii. sernivaied, because it flatters their self-love, and ineitei the hope of improvement. How a die. appointment in this hope may affect the public tranquillity, it is now unnecessary to consider ; but though actual violence may he avoided, we must expect, in the present circurnstancea of the world, to lose many of the discontented by emi gration. A desire of crossing the Atlantic, and of wooing fortune by industry in the United States of America, prevailed to a great extent among the refrartory work-people during the late " and was, we understand, encouraged by persons styling themselves American agents, who held out the most flattering proapects of success to the poor deluded people. These persons, we lament to state, prevailed to a surprising extent, and some hundred persons have repared to leave their native home for the promised bless ings of another country. We have not learned how far the late partial reconciliation between the employers and the work-people has affected the in tentions of those persons; but unhappily there are still too many among the work-people discontented, who will in all probability suffer themselves to be led away by the interested representations of these American speculators. Great indignation was excited by the accounts of the early part of the campaign in lodia, in which it was butted that two British Officers (Messrs. HUNTER and Mottalson), Cornets in the Madras Cavalry, had been taken prisoners and put to death by the troops of the PFlsitwA. From our extracts from India Papers recently arrived, we rejoice to find that no such wanton cruelty has been practised, and that these two captives were, on the contrary, treated with every attention to their per sooal comforts. We are indebted for this infor mation to the capture of the fortress of Wassota, on the surrender of which they were found in the place.—A Proclamation from Ceylon, slated the 2d of Mardi, confirms the previous accounts of the distracted state of that island.

We perceive, in The Ro'ul Gazette, of the 30th of May, a Proclamation by the Governor of that settlement, for the establishment of an Admiralty Court, wherein all offences, usually cognizable by such judicatures, will be tried, and especially those against the Slave Trade Abolition Art. This Court was opened, for the first time, on the , ►d of July, when a cave of piracy w.is tried. hut tl►e parties were acquitted. On the lith of the same month, Manuel Garcia.

The evidence against them was not, however, sufficient to establish the alleged delinquency, and the Jury, therefore, acquitted them.
