To the more distant States, this nen-am:ceramic of a formidable force with which they were econerate wan absolute incapacitation from effrer. In err way heck to Cal:utta. in July. BIM, I received a reseript brouelit by an corny heal the Diemen Monarch, whom we incorrectly call Kin of Are. from one of the great divisions of his empire. The purport of Oda curious paper was a reqn...ition for oar immediate sunenclvr of all the provinces east of the Baum't. even le eluding Mcnothedabad, with it men ice, that 'shoul ' d the de mand not he obeyed, he would lay waste our territories with fire and sword. His projected hostility was evidently a mea sure rimer:icd with the 31shrattut; anti doting the rainy sea. son, when the rivet-flawing of the rivers melees the march or troope imprnetieable, his 3lajesty conceived, by advancing a title. hammerer extravagant. to than provinces, he shnuld have an ostensible ground for inrolin; a state with which of he haul no quarrel. I sent bock the envoy with an intimation that the answer should be conveyed through another cher:net. Ile had come front the Court through the northern Rieman provinces. The an swer was despatched by sea en the Viceroy of .Irreesn, redditig at tee port of Itartgiten in the Central Division, for transeeirion to his sovereign. It expressed, that I was too well acquainted with his Majesty's wisdom to Fe the dupe of the gross forge-y attempted to he palmed upon me; whereferre I seat to him the document fabricated in hue august name, and misted that he would sub ject to rmdign pneishment the persona who had so profligately etelearintreal to sow direnstim between two rower, reciprocally interented to cultivate amity. By this procetthre I evaded the necessity of noticing an insolent stepn foteseeing that his Dir. man Majesty would be thoroughly glad of the exense to re main quiet, when he lesreed his secret allies hod been sub. tilted. That information lie received at the same time with my letter; and all further discussion en explanatinn being forborne, the former emicable intercourse enntinned without change. The circumstance will show the extant to which the ncrwastions of the Marren** had gine, exhibiting also the advantage of using exertions so decisive, as should not leave time for distant enemies to crone forward. The femme treaty with Seindin. which I had declered annulled on the proof of his hostile practices, contained an article equally discreditable and embarratoine. We were biuml by it to have no correspondence with the liajooto Staten. and were thence de. bane,' from granting to them that protection, which they cdrered to repay by en-operating for the etoppresviun of the Ini t aterriet. Emancipated troin an inprious a shackle, I received all these States as feudatory to the British Government. Though each possessed considersble force, their reciprocal estrengs meets Omer -Ming chiefly (ram punctilious and often hereditary quarrels between the reigning Princes) merentetl their ever forming any union. They or- , cut cqisende plundered for a succession of years, nu only by the Pirularnes, but by the armies of Ameer Khan, or Seinida, and of Bother. Devastation had become so familiar to the eye. of the rulers of these countries, that they newel almost with hi der set ee the oppreasiora exercised over eve Rent. or cultivaers of the soil, by the troops which garrisoned their fortresses or were maintained about the Severeign's person. The connexion which they now formed with tis *toured them against outrage from without, while a main stipulation , on our part was, that their own troops should he subjected to such a system of regu. tante. as would ensure the property fur dome-site quiet of the villager, or entail upon me aggression imm.eliate-memplary Amish. men:. The further obligations under which the chieftain placed themselves were, to refer all difference* among them to the !Mash , Government, to keep a well , equipped earth-gent in readiness for any call from us, and to employ that soldiery, in the mean time. to crash within their respective States any petty predatory gangs which might become a nucleus for fature riseLtrf. These at. range;.•ents, rendered efficacious by very crimple measures adopted on our recommendation, produced to the Soy:miens. as well as to the subjects throughout thine populous regions, a comfort to which every British individual who has tear reed t hat part of India will hear witness. A move formal testimony is on recent When filajonGeneral Sir Ilsariel Gehteriony was to quit Peilai. In order to assume the superintend:nee of our relatice s with the Rs, pou t State*, he was directed to make 1111 extensive tour through thole territories, in order that he might inform the t;overnment at Cal. cotta what had really been the practical result of our efilLiteeta to meliorate their conditios.

The dissip ation of a serinue coospirery, and the uniting slow st every Native Power with our interests, were still not die only rounds of satisfaction. The impudent &ignite in which, as ?err:- sensed by Sir David Ochterlony, the population of the ltajpeot States, amounting to some :Wiliam, war. benefited by the procreure of the British Government, will excite lively gratifies/len. That population, however, formed but a part of the immense mass rescued from misery. A lighter term cannot well be tiled, fur the condition of those who had been exposed to the ravages of the l'in denies.

It wan not rapine alone, hut unexampled barbarity, that marked the cows: of the spoilers. Their riolstion of the women, with circumstance* of peculiar indignity, which made multitudes of the victims throw themselves into wells, or bum themerlyes gether in straw huts, was invariable ; and they subjcctid the male villagers to refined tortures, in order in extract 'Hecht-cur,: where their little hurtles ol money were buried. From this temirge, the ter.itories uo which I have alluded were freed by the Arial:rat:thin of the Pi:Aar:its ; and the value of the relief war malieoted by the %reedy . re-oecupation and cultirati..n of extensive districts in the Nizain • dominion*, which had for sonic yeats lain deserted by the former inhabitants.

On the Wednesday morning the horse was found in an adjoining meadow.
