EAST INDIA INTELLIGENCE. 'On Tuesday fresh accows were received in town front Bombay and Madras, by the Philomel stoop of war, which left the latter place on the 13th of July. eve seektin a seminary of the con tents of the Madras Couriers The NitilSelese have fulfilled All conditions of the late treety with the British government-1 the last of which was, that the poorkab garrisou shotad evacuate the important fort of Nagnee. This was dope on the 13th of April, and the fort was immediately occupied by a deteelnnent of Bri tish troops. Very extraordinary occurrences have taken place at Buchner. The Viceroy of Persia having reeoleed no seizing the coments of the Treasury set Bulteer„ one of its dependencies deputed t confidential servant. tor that purpose of the name of Mirze Mist:in Khan. Sheik Mahomed, who had beet left in charge of the Government by his nephew detieg a few months' absence, no sooner learnt the arrival of M. 11. Khan in the neigh boorhood, than he sent hint a Message•to return from whence he mate, explaining that he was left in tiest - with the city, and without written orders from the Vizier he shatild 'not &liver the place to bite. The Khan endeavoured to accommodate matters by fair words, btut Nlattomed closed the gates of the city upon him, and then assembled ell the populace and artitans of the town, and stationed them on the bareions and walls of the fort, a n ti front night until morning kept up a fire of guns and musketry, and conti nued the same duri n g 27 days, until Mirza flues lent intercepted the entrance of water into the fete ; in consequence, fresh water beceme ex tremely scarce in Nicheer. Being at length re duced to the last extremity, the people in general *gen to .desert ; ,the wealthy merchants entice vonred to °Wein some boats of water from the inland Khorg without success, and were its the cod compelled to fly with their feutilies e same by land, end some by sea. .luring these proceedings (about the let of the *month of Ramazan), informatiou was .received front Mr.- Bruce, et the t ngli,lt residence at Hool e leylus to which place, on account of the scarcity of 'water, he had retired, that foie , pirate ".boats full of men had arrived at that place. In cense epicure, the people of Bucheer remaining behind became extremely alarmed, and taking their- le nuilies, goods, and,etrects, with them, quitted the city. Water nets now so scarce, that two goblets could not he obtained for seventy rupees, and many Lad died from thirst. Ou the 21st (Rantezan) the pirates before-mentioned lauded; and pi accede ed to wait upon Sheik Maltutned. They stripped every inhabitant they met ort - the. toad.. They also broke open the bazaars, end carried oft every thing they contained. eke there was a consider elde number of people, called Behbanys, who were not concerned its this treasonable conspiracy with Sheik Mehmeed, the latter proceeded with the pi totes, and Iris;own udberents, to the quarter of the eity inhabited by the Behbetrys, end. attacked thetti ; anti fight ing , between? the people of Sheik l'kleltunted and the pirates .tatt one side, and the ileitis:lily's on the other, continued froM the morning of the 21st until the evening of the 22d Remazan. About twenty of the pirates ,were killed, and about forty ut the Behbanys wounded ; they tnaiptained the fight until the evening, witch they were much distressed, and demanded quarter. Sheik Mahomed gave them quarter, amid hostilities. ceased. tie then ordered leis party %lid) the pieatee to plunder the city.— 'Front three o'clock to sunset they had plundered 'the greater part of the city, and then embarked ors board their boats, with the intention of re .lemling the next day, the 2341, and plundering the remainder, slaughtering the inhabitants, and -destroying the houses by the fire of cannon, Athd then to take their departure with their plunder. Instead 'of acting in conformity to this resolution, Mehemet, and his party fled on board their vessels with the dunder they bad already obtained, and ultimately arrived at Khorg. IVlten the intelligence of thew events reached the throne; his Majesty expressed . himself extremely afflicted that so fine and populous a city anti sea-port should have been destroyed ; hut, nevertheless, he sent confilential servant to -Sheik Mehemet; and his party, with assurances of security and forgiveness , and this extraordinary . and base affair terminated by their. being put in possession of lincheer. The treasure obtained 'on the occasion is estitnated at 70 lacks of rupees. A new brevet promotion is about to take place in the Indian nrtny, by which all Lieuteeents of 15:years' standing, inclusive of the year of their appointment as cadet, obtain the rank of Captain, but without receiving any increase of allowances. ''Phis promotion in the Bengalatiny has been pub lished ie the Calcutta Gazette. After solute hard fighting, and no small labour 'and 'pins, a detachment of the army in India has .ext bleated a. horde of pirates on the banks of . the Several' livei were lost on bOth 5144 . , - From Catentta it is stated, that Itetojeet Singh has effected hiS purpose in visiting Bbawulpoor. After the usual routine of promises, offers, eve aions, delays, end some appearance of intended resistaare, the Newel) of ethaveulpoor paid 71,000 rupees, and gave numerous presents to Minket Singh, who immediately sent rortvard tents and aiemtants in the direction of Mooltan. Betejeet Singh next intended to exact tribute at Meehan. On the 3d of Match he was on his way thither. Th e Indian Chiefs, as usual, are engaged in warfare with e a ch other in every direction. The want of union amongst them affords a tolerable guarantee to the predominance of our power in that country. The Mudras Courier, of the 2Sth of May, states, that several merchant VeSSati had arrived from France, freighted ptincipally with wines. Claret was a eerfect drug in the markets, and consider.. able quantities bad been sold at one dollar per dozen. The general trade of the island was brisk • in consequence of these arrivals.

AMERICAN PAPERS. • (From the Satirmal Intelligenrer.] We have immense tracts of wild and fertile land, on which, if they (Emigrants) had assistance, they might settle, tool instead of.being idle nuisances, might become respectable and useful citizens.— Intitt•ad of thronging the-streets of cities which have already a superabundance of labourers, they should he subduing the forests on the banks of the Ohio, the Wabash, the Missouri, and Mississippi.

Let those who can work at agriculture come here, and they may in a short time nod them selves the proprietors of rich and beautiful farms. Weed, when we View the choicest portion of our globe in a state of nature ; when we see the immense tracts of excellent land which remain wild, uncultivated, and inhabited only by wild beesti; and at the same time think of the millions o f h u ngry poor who drag out a miserable existence its the eastern hemisphere, how devoutly have we wished that some benevolent Moses wonld lead them to this land of promise. Those who haVe not been bred to egricnlttire, who cannot wield the axe anti guide, the. plough, may also employ their, time aud skill to better ail vantage here than in the' Atlantic Stapes. Let the bricklayers, the stonemesons, the bowels rights; the tanners, the shoemakers, and meeltanies of every description.come to Kentucky, Ohio, Ten nessee and Indiana, and we promise that they shall find employment anti high wages. Now these foreigners are ignorant of all this, or perhaps if they know it, have not the means of getting here. The expense of transporting theirs over the mountains would not be great. And if we should give them a part of our vacant lands to settle upon, the remainder would increase in value enough, and more titan enough, .to pay for it., Resides, it would he a charitable, a humane act, and would call down the blessings of Heaven on our Republic. In order to give effect to the scheme, let Con gress at their next session provide some means to bring Atha this desirable object. If they iu their wisdom should think it repugnant to the interests of the nation, then let benevolent Individuals form themselves into societies, and convert mea times to take them, without delay, with their fa milies, out of the cities into the interior, where they will make time '4,wilderness blossom as the rose." Those individuals who own large tracts of wild land would find it their interest to settle co lonies of these people upon it by its increase of value ; and they would have the additional sath fac•ion of having snatched many a hapless victim from penury, vice, and despair. &Lam, Auo. 13.—Arrived the ship Exeter, Cleveland, front Batavia, June 19, 1 withiii it few miles of St. Helena, was boarded by his itlaiestv's brig Jtilia, and treated with civility, They atreted to supply us with water, but would not permit us to anchor.

We are mill without an arrival from the Con- , inent, though the weather has been moderate fur he last two days. The same cause which te ards the packets, prevents the arrival of the ltussian Prince NicnoLits. We love received Jamaica Gazettes to the 15t1 September. The following Official Notification of the open ing of the trace to Carthagentt, is not 914 the best refutation that can be given to the claims of success asserted by the friends of the South Ame rican Insurgents, but the best answer that could be given to their infamous arguittent, which commends injustice and breaCh of faith to Great Britain, in order, as they say, to secure the trade of Santh America. It now appears that in this. as in every thing else, honesty is the Lest pone?), and as soon as circumstances permit. we have the open commerce of this Continent by legitimate means, and without violating the Treaties with Spain we have so lately sworn to observe. This document leaves it questionable if a com , promise with the, rebels would . have fulfilled the views of those who were ready to sacrifice honour and all that is valuable in national policy to a‘tner candle speculation half so well as the pursuit of the right line adopted by Gove-nment.
