,VICTORY IN INDIA. We have great pleasure in laying before our iieadels the folio win 4 interesting extracts from the Calcutta Gazelle, dated the. 24. and 3d of May, :- Wehare extreine satisfictinn in announcing - to the public that letters of excellent authority. dmed Tuttigurli the 22(1 niiitutl, anti received in town/ Ibis morning, comtntinicate Om agreeable intelligence of the entire defeat of , the Goorkbah troops under Ulm.'Siwgh liajet, by the division of the army -commanded by General Ochteriony ; ti!e clay of tliis brilliant affair is not mentioned. it would, however, .appear, that Umr Singh, straitened by the near approach of the British de tachments, sallied from his fortified posts between INlaloun and Soornigur, and attacked the besiegers in all directions. The contest was long and ar d,lons, and the detachment Commanded by Lieut.- Colonel Thomson,. was at one.period critically situated.; but atlength the enemy was - completely beaten back at .every point, leaving several bun 41rCils killed and wounded on the field of battle. ..During the engagement' several bodies of our troops penetrated to the enemy's lines, inane. tilately under the walls of the ( - cwt. The victory is expressly stated to have been decisive, and stick as must lead to the immediate fall of :KaTom). " It was. not to be - expected that such an ad vautage could be gained without considerable loss, but we are happy to learn, that the number of casualties was comparatively few. We lament to find that the names of two Oscers, Captain Showers, 19th Nathe Infantry,. and Lieutenant )h got, doing duty with the pioneers, are amongst those stated to have been killed." " WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1815. `'` Yeste-Nlay evehiug we bad the, sincere ?atis- faction of eounnunicating to the public the agree 'able intelligenee of the total defeat . of the Guar kha fOrces under Umr Singh Thappa, h . , a guite ral action,between them and the division of the army commanded by General Ochterlony. We bare since received a concise report, written on the field of battle, which we lose no time in lay ing before our readers, having merely premised that it is naturally neither so full nor so arsattrate its it would have been in less trying circumstances. We- were•wrong in stating the action to hare be gun by an attack on the part of the enemy.-- it cotnmeneed in consequence of a simultaneous uovement made by the British troops, with a -view of confining the enemy, and cutting off all communication between Malone and the stockades, redoubts, and other fortified out-posts. One of these columns, commanded by Lieutenant-C(. load Thompson, - was attacked by the enemy hn tnediately on reaching its destination on .the morn ing of the 15th ultimo. The struggle was kept up with unremitting violence during the whole of that day, and of the following night. At length, 'after a desperate attack at break of day, the cou rage of the gallant detachment 'was crowned with 'perfect success. - The enemy were entirely repuls ed about seven in the morning, leaving on the .field. their Commander Boghtee Thapa Fleerda Singh Thappa, uncle of Umr Singh and Gojceu Thappa, nephew of Bughtee Singh. These; with 100 others had been brought into Col. Thompson's stockade. Here ILO were likewise wounded ; our loss was also severe: Lieut. Bag°, , of the pioneers, eras mortally wounded, and died on the morning of . the 16th. Captain Gabl, Adjutant Light Infantry „Battalion, was severely wounded on the sth. Ma, for Lawrie, 7th Native Infantry, and Lieutenant Dalgairns, 3d regiment Native Infantry, were. slightly wounded on the 16th. Thirty Sepoys were killed, 'and 113 wounded. Capt. Showers, 19th Native Infantry, was shot, at the bead of his column, with both his Orderlies, after having cut flown the Sirdar opposed to him. Lieut. Spei lepy, 7th :Native Infantry, :Was also severely. Wounded,- The loss in rank and file of this co lumn was, 20 killed and 61 wounded. In another *rolnnor, - commanded by Capt. Bower, of the 19th regiment Native Infantry, ' our loss was only twenty men killed and wiAnded. Deserters reported; that when Bughtee commenced the attack, Urnr Singh was orrly a few yards dis tant front him, and that the assailants were above two thousand in number, of whom forte hundred were killed and wounded.. A few of our irregulars had fallen. The termination of this brilliant affair was such as might have been expected from the united efforts of brave troops, • placing confidence-in the abilities of a prudent and able General. The blow was conceived to be fatal to the enemy, .vbo was now cooped up in his last hold, much diminished in numbers, and des-. titute of provisions. Our new posts had been inueiestrengthened, and fresh reinforcements had joined .he troops, who were greatly jaded by ex cessive labour, in a hot sun, on a soil yielding no water to quench their thirst. Our letters speak in the highest terms of the conduct of all the troops engaged., " We Hope soon to give to the community a fuller and more distinct accountaccourit . of the action than contained in this rude sketch." (RECEIVED THIS MORNING•) BAME, OCT. 4.—On Saturday a report was ge nerally current, that orders were come to blow up the WOAS of Huningen. It is not yet confi rme d. However, they continue 'to undermine the works situated on tive side of the Rhine._ File passage of artillery - and .ammunition taken in France -con tisnies without interruption, These convoys have always a strong -escort. seems now certain that the demo lition of the fortress of Hilningen, and the en gagement to raise no new ..works within three leagues of the frontiers of Switzerland, is among tht.nutuher of the articles of the Treaty of Peace. CoLoctic, Ocr. 13.—His Majesty King Fre derick William, our August Sovereign, ebtered this city yesterday at noon, when his presence caused the most liveiv - enthusiasm. After having received the public authorities, and visited what is most remarkable at Cologne, his Majesty con tinued his journey at three o'clock. BRUSSELS, OCT. 14.—The King has given very large sums to those of his subjects who have most suffered by the calamities of war. He has ►►lso ordered that all the cattle destined for the artror, and which bare, not been distributed, shall be given to those poor who are least able to bear their losses. FRANKFORT, OCT. 12.---Their Imperial High nesses, the Grand Dukes of Russia, Nicholas and Michael', arrived here last .night. Prince Francis of Sayn Willgenstein, died at Willgenstein, the 6th inst. at the age of 35. BRUSSELS, ()CT. 14.---Letters from Lille iay, that the magazines formed there when - the town was threatened with a siege, arc to be sold by auction. A report had been spread that the ar tillery and ammunition was to be removed to Arras and Picardy, which made the inhabitants very uneasy ; however nothing has yet been clone to execute this measure. The Allied troops how ever, continue , o become more numerous in the neighbourhood of Lille. Meantime, the depart ment of the North is a prey to the most dreadful excesses. Incendiaries, actuated by a spirit of vengeance and party rage, have for this month set various country houses on fire, and it i remarked, that it is chiefly the propertynf well known Royal ists that is laid in ashes. It is well know that the department of the North is that which at all times has behaved la the most loyal ma.ner, and where the public spirit is the best. It may there be imagined in what a situation this unhappy country is. For some days past, several Officers, native Belgians, have arrived here, who have retnaiaed till now in tho French service ; among them is a well-known General who was formerly in the Dutch service, with some of his Aid-de-Camps.— It seems that they desire to enter into the service of their country, whose fate is irrevocably fixed. Officers of rank in the Austrian service, but na tives of Belgium, are likewise soliciting to be re ceived into our national army. HAGUE, OCT. 15.—The ordinary As:embly of the States General will meet at the Hagoe to morrow, at one o'clock, with the usual cere- monies. HAMBURCIT, OCT. 12.----The Senate of Lubeck has published a decree, forbidding, at the request of the Spanish Minister, all intercourse between the city of Lubeck and its terrifot y, and the ports of Buenos Avres and Montevideo, whicfr arc in a state of rebellion against the mother country.— We IrAve received a long account of the ceremonies at Drontheim in honold of the Crown rrince.

E NI QUIS DICEXE FALSUM Al/PEAT LONDON. FRIDAY, OCTOIJER 20, ISIS. Our accounts to-day from the neighbourhood of Newcastle are more satisfactory than. for some days past, and we hope we may venture to pre dict that the judicious Measures pursued lay his Majesty's Government will, in a vc y short time, put an end to these disgraceful disturbances. The accounts from Flanders trnd Holland are not of a prominent nature. They describe the Northern Provinces of France as a prey to the most cruel disorders and, indeed, we believe that such is the general condition of the country. Murders, fires, 'the. explosion of magazines,, riots, and all the train of ills which a state of disorganization produces, are . frequent even in the uncommunicative columns of the French Journals.' Many of these calamities are repre sented as being accidental, but any calm observer must see that very few of them can be. referred to that origin, and that they are rather the result of an evil disposition among the population, of distraction in the administration of the laws, and of weakness and irresolution in the Government. May we expect that, strengthened by the Addresses at Support which the two Chambers have presented, the temporizing course so pro ductive of mischief and mieery will be abandoned, and such an exertion of legal authority be put forth, as to shew guilt that for it there is no i%i punity, and assure virtue that for it there 16 pro tection. Unless this'be clone, nothing but anarchy cal 'be looked for in France. Fie on't 1 . oh fie! "f is an unweeded garden that grows to seed: Things rank and gross in nature Possess it merely. • But the Legislature, and especially:the Repre sentatives of the People, have conjured . the King to clear this garden of the loathsome weeds which choak up and destroy the wholesome vegetation. Surely his Majesty will not reject this salutary advice, founded on the clearest experience, and thence have, - at no distant date, to confess amid the blood and desolation of the Country, that what was called clemency was imbecility, mag nanimity folly, and mercy crime. At length a total change has taken place in the Politics of the Court of Madrid. A private letter from the Spanish Capital, of a recent date, which we have given in our first page, contains the earliest intimation of this important change, which has reached this country. What share the insur rection of PORLIEP, or, the reported movement of MINA may have bad in the acco►uplishment of this salutary Revolution, through whose advice or what event inimediately led to it is not yet ascertained. .01 the personal dispositions of the King of Spain much is not known ; and that which is known unfortunately does not impress us with the must favourable sentiments. But if his own penetra tion has led to. the present change, a still inure happy augury must be drawn from it for the future condition of Spain. None lamented more deeply than ourselves the course of conduct adopted by the Spanish Government since the restoration of the King.—Towards the Spanish neople . their Measures too often appeared to be ty rannical and intolerant, and their foreign policy, as unwise as their internal, shelved the predominanee, of counsels inimical to the connection with Great Britain. Feeling as . we did fOr the . oppressions tinder which that people laboured, we never could agree with those who preached up rebellion against the Sovereign, .as the only protection against the crimes of his advisers. Yet it was a case in which the remedy could not be pre , scribed by any third party. "Times and occa sions and provocations teach their own lessons." The opinions we have held on this subject arc consistent. We have no affections either for the Government of Spain or the measures it has put... , sued, futlher than that in the abstract we prefer 114.Wire""letT~airtr2lc is Inept• sot' not follow from this, that we are to abet tr eti t and spirit up rebellion ; it does not follow tl3a._ we are to rail against FERDINAND VII. because pd has. the prejudices inseparable from his countrY education ; that we are to revile all his acts be ; cause they are not suited to British habits 1100 agreeable to British judgment ; and that we are c imagine the Spanish People wretc hed becatisa they have the Je€nits in tend of the Reran % Church, an arbitrary .

We might as rationally rave abo ut the Ceirreg not being blessed with our form of Goreroniel and liistitutions. Yet such is the daily style ° ibe political Qaixotte's in this coun tr y , their renowned prototype, " would have S P II- managed according to their own fanciful the urich without regard to any of the feelings, habits , (:'! prejudices of the People.
