A Letter from an Officer of Rank in the Intlian Army contains the following information of the actual state of some of the - Indian Powers, which, though at peace with us, we shall call• hostile . • States • 1.

The Steks Under our protection can bring into the field about 17,000 soldiers. At the breaking out of the Ne- P au l 'vat', this state was fortunately engaged in a. War with Kashmere, and threatened by the King Caurbul. 2dly, Sindiah has. about 40,000 soldiers; he is said to b e in close- alliance with the Rajah of Zerar and with the Bhurrpon Rajah. He has ac ',quired much strength since the Marhatta war, by ' br inging the feudatory States under his immediate vontroul. 3, 11 y, Atneer Khan may have 28,000 soldiers ; kuhorned Shah and Lail Sing, who generally act with him, can bring 20,000 more into the field. 4 .• 'Chan is generally much in want of tinney, k ad When his troops become mutinous for being kept in arrears, he gives them perhaps half their Pay, With authority, to plunder to the amount of What is still due to them. 4thly, Holkar is poor, and has only 17,(100 en• Ameer Khan, Mahumed Shah, and Lull Sing are nominally his Generals. The Pindarees are a tribe of military ad venturers, who having followed time standards of different Chiefs, and from the present tranquil 'jstate of Hindostan, being out of employ, have oined themselves with other brigands, and have etnented themselves into one great body of 404000 soldiers. These hardy troops infest the l''ighhouring provinces for plunder, and will fight under any Chi e f wh o will best pay them. 44tistiat., §ouLT.—llis Memorial. in justifica tion of his conduct, is, it is said, a very long one. takei up time Marshal's life " e'en from his t a • " The Revolution found me in 1 % --I P s ' and left me in them."

The foliocving account of the performance anti reception of this great Actress, as Lady Macbeth, on Seiturrlay last, at the Edinburgh Thea: re, is taken from the Edinburgh Evening Courant of No vember 20 " Mrs. Stnnotea not only is, but looks older than when she was last before us. In this single observation, every thing inauspicious to the sues cess of her efforts is included and exhausted. She is also somewhat thinner than she then was ; but this gives to her strongly marked features, anti to ail the petty lineaments of her speaking coun tenance, a power and distinctness exceeding even what they expressed 'formerly: During a few of the first speeches, her voice was interrupted now and then by a short cough ; hut this was apparently owing to her agi tation, and, as she proceeded, this nervous impediment entirely left her, and all her faculties were displayed in their full power. To dwell up on the particulars of excellence sa long and so fully appreciated, would incur the double risk of presumption andfailure. We leave, therefore, to the testimony of those who saw her on Saturday, and to the recollection and imagination of those who have seen her formerly, the unequalled gran deur, genius, and power of every scene in which she appeared; from the commen-cement, when she exhibits herself the ready object and instrument of the. fiend's temptations, to the close, in which she displayed by short and frightful glimpses, the unendurable tortures of his triutnpb. Indeed, there were sonic instances, in which the uni versa', feelings of the audience., unequivocally tes tified by the electric ardour of their applause, ac knowledged that she even surpassed her usual energy ; and others, wherein she threw new lustre upon passages, which it might appear that she had previously illuminated till additional light was impossible. /ler deportment at the banquet may be quoted as a proof Of the first remark— the sleeping scene, as an illusrretiOn of the se cond. In the banquet. scene, the effect of her extraordinary powers of countenance was height eoed by our recent recollection of an admirable performer, who, by the. mere - force of .feel ing anti genius, both of the bigheat class, won her way to excellence with, hardly ally aid from the countenance at all ; for, at a distance, the face of MissO'Neill is merely a map. In the countenance of Mrs. Siddans, on the contrary, every operation of the mind and feeling of the soul-r--those that fire it with rage, brighten it with joy, melt it into or fix it in horror--all those lighter shades and fleeting varieties which sweep across its regions in exhaustless - mutation-sr.-arc presentedto theeye with the precision of truth and the splendour of light. These powers Were admirably displayed in the lianquet-scene. Terror, rage, and contempt, counterfeit hilarity anti actual agony, were here *combined in a series of looks, and starts, and writhings, which :reoffered lariguage altogether soperfirsous. -The Sleeping-scene, in which the terrible caw:to/Ate of this high-souled criminal is wound up, was exhibited, nut only with, creased force, but with tine features of no velty. In the anguish of her loaded soul, when she mourns with such pathetic itera tion over the smell and the stain of the blood, which not all the perfumes of Arabia could sweeten, nor all great Neptune's ocean purify,.she struck the the Ipsor hand, that conscience had conjured up as the witness of her guilt, with a fretful and hope less peevishness which was resistlessly affecting. The feelings of the audienCe bore powerful testi mony to this splendid scent.• It was followed by so many moods: of applause, that we really ceased to reckon them, after having counted about half a dozen, • Th e followi n g 'description Of the Tri-coloored • Cockade is . .haniled about in Paris : Tr tys dontles epis soot , tror, se,ra'Uotre cpearde blanche ; -Loin Ile nous cc n=nd tricolor, • sons qui le crime se revanche; .Car son blanc, est notretoktt, - Son hien deslgur la psnikriCne, Et mon rouge, yin fait ltomnr, • LA le fiat de song qui I 4utraiac.

The Grand Jury of the City of Dublin were yesterday called into Court, and addressed by :he Loan CHIEF JUSTICE to the folloWing etreet His Lordship stated, that by a certain Ac of Parliament, the Grand Juries were required ;:•mti enabled to appoint for zilch jails as the Court shiiuld think required it, a Roman Catholic Chap lains whose remuneration should be by present ment, so long as he continued to do the duty to the satisfaction of the Court. In this appoint ment the concurrence of the Court was necessary. About two years hack, in obedience to this Act of Parliament, the Court, seeing that no place re quired a Chaplain of the Romish Church more than Newgate, in which so many persons of the Romislt faith are generally confined, recommended to the Grand Jury to appoint such Chaplain, who there upon appointed the Rev. Mr. Duffy, and is that aopoiatmetit the - Court concurred. It had, how ever, happened, that from causes of no import ance or weight in point of_law, the duty had not hero done:: it therefore became the duty of the Court, to reinove gr. Dtiffy, and to direct the Grand Jury to appoint iinot her person to attend the jail as Roman Catholic Chaplain. The Jury then retired to their room, where some Members suggesting, that if the J 1 ;'Mr. Crotty, who hail lately received the apprubAtion of Government for his loyal conduct, wouicl;aceeptthe appointm en t, he would be a very proper mitn for it 5 and by act ing thus, the Grand Jury would show, that ‘shere ever a loyal Priest distinguished his zeal for the public peace anti welfare, he might be sure of re ceiving their most friendly approbation and sup- . port. A letter was ordered accordiioy. The Gazelle de France gives the following Stance of the deep impression made by a Theatrical Representation :7-A young wotnan, the. Mother of three children, went with her hus. hand to...see the performance of the Guilty Mother, a play by the_ The situation and the remorse of the heroine affected her the more deeply, as she had a simihr fault to re proach iterfelf with, this recollection, which, for a long time, she endeavoured to stifle without success, took such lively possession of her soul, thatshetould not support the heart-rending scenes in the fourth act. She was conveyed home in great agitation of mind, and the next day. af(er a long. struggle and anguish, she confessed to her hustiand a fault which he had never suspected, and which he pardoned. .41.1(the blow was struck, and 'she survived this.contession three days oak', in spite of the cares andHA4nrances of tenderness Which her husband lavisho upon her. The mania for walking, it appears, has been -caught in the City. A Gentleman in the silk trade, Mr. DAVISON, of Goldsmith-street, szatted on Saturday morning at six o'clock, from Black friars-bridge, to walk to Brighton, which he per formed in fifteen hours,:iii r lipar within the limits. Mr. DavISON was aCcor4anied by two friends, GLEND , INNINGaiitI BARRY, as umpires. CHILBLAINs.—A plaster of commoo turpen tine applied to chilblains or frosted heels, will, it is said, in a few days effect a care. A severe frost and a heavy fall of snow took 'dace in the middle of the last week, in the .Nortit and East Ridings of Yorkshire, which have, for the present, put an entire stop to the pm suits of agriculture, and all the sports of the field. Sunday morning last as two Geatimen were -passing down the New Dover-street Road, they discovered the dead body of a new born infant lying naked in a field by the road side. The body :was stiff frorn the frost, but there. was no marks of• violence perceptible upon it. The Gentlemen. gave information to the Parish Officers, .the body was taken to the Workhouse, and every inquiry is making to discover the mother or other persona who placed it in'the situation in which it was found.
