C Wallington'S force, itnnietliately pOshefl J.iggeritat at the head of thousands of in suraents. It appears that a great quantity ut arms had been concealed at I'oree, which were now distributed to the rabble, who, baying snr roaiided Fort Busby and placed piegtiets in every direction, began to erect a battery with two great gu.,s. The daring leader, flushed with his suc- cess, had taken possession of the Collector's . Cutcherv, and was levying contribution; on the ['T.:rims. Captain Wallington believing it im pos,ihle, with his small force, to make any itn pressoil On so numerous and formidable a mul t•tude, thought it prudent to retire with the trea sure under his charge. He marched ofT in the middle of :he night, luckily got clear of the town to the sea side, without being observed, and reached Cuttack on the I Gth. Mr. Becher, Mr. King, and the other gentleman, bad also arrived in safety. They were, however, frequently ti: - ed at in their progress, but fortunately no casualty had occurred. Two of our Sepoys who undertook !ri go to Pooree as spies had been betrayed. One was instantly and the other spiked and thrown into a bole in the sand, ,supposed to be dead, but he happily recovered . , and succeeded in getting back to the camp." Since . writing the afrove, Bengal Papers to the 10 h inst. have come to hand. They contain no thing new except the following from Cuttack. By circumstance we are happy to perceive the eo , nntnnicationis again open. Colonel Sir John Malcolm, and Captain Fitz el arrived, at Calcutta on the 6th : " The guns belonging to the detachment from Dlidnapore arrived on the 26th tilt. and Captain Wallington with his detachment had joined Capt, Le Fevre at Jaggernath. The 2d battalion of the ISth, with a brigade of guns anti a party of the Body Guard, marched from Cuttack on the 2Sth, nuttier the Command of Major Hamilton, and crossed the Kajoora river in the morning, on their way to Pooree. In the mean time it ap pears that some insurgents had made a movement to the northward and east ward of Piply, erecting in their advance several strong stockades to defend themselves from the attack of our troops. We del stand that on the evening of the 2Sth, Major Hamilton marched from Cuttack with four coin ianies of the 2d, battalion of the Mil N. I. and the party of the Body Guard, for the purpose of attacking them in their strong hold. The infantry dashed forward and drove the repels from the grockade which they had erected on tile road to a eilluge called Darootang, situated about 9. miles south-west of Cuttack. The enemy made but a feeble resistance, and only fired a few matchlocks and jinjals, bur their arrows unfortunately were Aimed with some effect. In this rencontre we regret to observe that Lieut. White, and three sepoys, vvere wounded by them, the former severely in the thigh, and time latter slightly. At midnight the troops entered Darootang, where they remained till rlay-break, and then leaving the village, set it on fire. The insurgents having fled %,vitli precipita tion, It was impo,s hie to ascertain the number that had been assembled. In the morning of the 29th it is said that Major Hamilton proceeded in south-west direction about five kos tort her, and time detachment returned to Cuttack in the es en i'az On the 30:11 the 2d hattAlonn_ I elude that Major Hatnilt.in moist have arrived at that place on the 2tl of May. It was iifidersioml flint Jugbundoo had gone towards Goomsur, hut l - ie have no distinct accounts of his movement. " From Jaggernath, the 29th, we hear that the force under Captain Le Fevre was ready to penetrate into Khoimrdah, where the peasantry seem to be awakening from the delusion into which the arts of Jughundoo had thrown them. " Major-General Sir G. Martindell arrived at Midnapore on the 2d. and would probably he at Cuttack on time sth." BOMBAY COURIER, APRIL = s, Fty private information received here, we learn that a large body of ftee-booting horse, whether Pindarees or not we are ignorant, who were en camped on the banks of the fiera, about 11 miles North-west of Soonee Ramauey, were surprized in their carol► by a detachment of the Madras army ender the command of Major Smith. The acconnt states, that two companies of the Ist of the 3d, and of the Ist of the 2d, and the flank companies of the 14th Madras Native Infantry, marched front the banks of the Beenut, 35 miles South east of Seroor, in pursuit of a body of horse ; they Continued the chase with astonishing exer tion and perseverance for four days and five nights, and at day-break of the fifth day (Mb of April) sin prised their encampment, just as they were pre paring for a march. The nature of :he ground prevented the infantry immediately forming line ; they poured a volley into the ramp, and then broke into divisions of two companies and march ed through the camp. The freebooters got on their horses with uncommon rapidity, and formed beyond their camp, leaving behind them several of their saddles and a great quantity of baggage. As soon as the infantry had got through the camp, :Major Smith concentrated his detachment, and a body of the best mounted and equipped of the horse exchanged a few shot with the infantry, and ,then made off, leaving about 60 men mid many more horses dead on the This body of horse, which is described us being upwards of 5000, had been driven from the neighbourhood of Malta Dew by Colonel Smith, and were on the march towards C3S9Brbary ; and the report e•as, that thee had been faller► in with on the hanks of the Godaverv, by the brigade under Colonel Milnes, and had been still more severely handled. We regret to state, that in their march they had met with Lieutenant Warre of the Madras artillery, who was proceeding with a small party from Seroor towards Soonee Ratnaney, and had innr tiered him, with two or three of his sea/Joys. Lieut. Warre's remains were buried at Soonee Thonaney on the 18111 instant. Letters from Aurungabad give also most grafi , . fying accounts of an attark made on a body of Instirgents about 70 miles N. W. of tl►at place, by a party of the Nizam's retomed cavalry in Berar, tinder the command of Capt. Evan Davies, of the Bert hay' Establishment, accvmpanied by CA Pt a Pedlar and Lieutenant Mud, also of this E5tH - 1)11,11 mem . It appears that Captain Davies n'arcl►- ed from A urung4l.lint in pursuit of the Insurgents . . on the 17th instant, anti cmtie up with them on the morning of the 20th, drawn up in good older, to the number of 2,000, in a strong position, with their front defended by a ravine. Captain Davies had only 600 Silledar horse with him, having se lected only those glen on whom he thought he could rely. It being the first time Captain Davies had been in action with the reformed cavalry, having had them . under his command only for a few months, he immediately determined to allow them no time to deliberate; but after addressing them a few words of encouragement, and direct ing them to throw away their matchlocks, and draw their swords, he gave the order " to' chat ge." The order was immediately obeyed in the most gallant manner, and every man proved himself worthy of the confidence placed in hint by their gallant leader. The enemy, unable to re sist this shock, though so greatly superior in numbers, immediately gave way, and were fol lowed for several miles, leaving upwards of 200 killed and wont led. Lite loss of Captain Davies's party was seven killed, and about 30 or 40 wounded. Among the latter, we are sorry to say, were Capt. Davies and Cent. Pedlar, both wounded in several places, the latter severely, but both wet e doing well when the last accounts came away. We cannot here resist the pleasure of mention ing a trait of humanity, which we believe is very rarely to be found among the native troops of this country, nor, perhaps, of any of the more civilized countries in Europe. Captain Pedlar, having fainted from loss of blood, found himself, on recovering on the field, with only one native trooper near him. This man had bound rap his won oils, and was support ing. Be. appeared to him to be a stranger, and, on inquiry, Captain Pedlar found hint to be one of the enera►y. Ciptain Pedlar has since taken him into his service, anti we hope he will prove as faithful as he has proved humane. AMER I CAN PA PERS. INTERESTING FROM ANI ELIA ISLAND.

BRRMEN, (ker. 20.—The following letter of his Extelkoey the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, wi , :ch has been received by the Editors of the Bremen Gazette, through an official Channel, furnishes a new proof of what the Europeans, particularly the (3ermans . , hare to expect from those barbarians, who only wait for the moment when their marine, which is now recovering,shall 'allow them to recommence their old cruelties, which are become a second nature to then►, and probably in a more systematic manner than before. The letter is us follows : " It is known from the accounts which the King, my mas ter, has received hum his Consul and Charge. , d'Affaires at 'l':►ngiers, that the fjovernment or Morocco demanded (on the 10th August) the usual passports, for a frigate, La Men sor:►, 34 guns and 50 men, Captain Arrach Alalorrantan Bas gas!: ; zeal a bri, antine, El Mogatlor, 18. guns and 30 men, Captain Arrach Ibrahim Lubaces, which were to tau from Larrache to Algiers, to be at the disposal of that Regency. " To this piece of intelligence, the result °fa mission with which an Algerine Envoy appeared at Morocco a short time before, is to l,r added, the circumstance that the Moor who is charged to deliver up these ships certain Dextorhe, who formetly sailed :is a merchant at Lisbon), has said that a vessel freighted at (Gibraltar would sail to 41Igiers, to convey 10,000 cat. of saltpetre, and 1,00(H:wt. of copper, for the ISlogador I and that he himseif was commission e d to g o from Algiers with a present from his Sultan to Tunis, and thence with another*.o Constantinople.
