IMPORTANT EUROPEAN
NEWS.
_ CALCUTTA, (E. I.) MAT 20.
BY letters from Bombay we have
been favored with a more partic
ular account of the operations of Tip
poo before Tellichery than has yet
Appeared.
On the 23d of March, Tippoo ap
proached , the neighbourhood of Til
lichery with a force so considerable as
to be seriously alarming. On the
26th, he encamped on Tandatenny,
within fight and not more than four
miles distant from the town. One of
the feaboys belonging to the garrison,
cutting wood on the banks of the
stream which separates the diftrias of
the English and Tippo, was wanton
ly (hot by a party of his troops.—
From the disposition of his army, and
some threatening appearances, an at
tack was hourly expelled: the inhabi
tants, to the number of two thousand,
were in consequence armed. Several
deserters came in from Tippoo's army
and these he required to be delivered
up in the most insolent and unbecom
ing terms. Very properly his requests
vure treated with the utmost con
t&npt. Among other deserters was a
party of Frenchmen who belonged to
Lally's corps ; that these men fhould'
be delivered up, Tippoo was particu
Jarly anxious ; however to be out of
danger, they were sent round to the
government at Bombay on the Shah
Syriah. On the evening of the 30th,
Tippoo, with hi, whole encampment
marched off, avowedly for Pimlipa
tam, but as the vessel which brought
this intelligence to Bambay leftTelii
chery the fame night, it is uncertain
where he has directed his rout.
The Government of Bombay have
given protedion,to greet numbers of
Nairs to whom Tippoo has ihewn a
most implacable hatred, and on whom
he has indiscriminately exercised the
most studied cruelties ; many of the
these poor wretches has he again and
again, marched into wide and ex
ten five plains ; there ordered their
legs & arms to be cut off in his own
presence, and in that mutilated date
left them laying on the ground, pro.
hibiting under pain of death any re
lief being afforded to the miferabh
fufferers. During the march ofTip.
poo from Seringapatnam to Tilliche
ry no less than 5,000 have been faeri
ficed to the vindictive caprice of this
unfeeling Tippoo.

upon the legislatures of the dates for
their pay, and the quantum of it—
b effed effed of individual folly! To
suppose that one set of theTervants of
the people should make wages for.
another—and a higher set too! If our
legislature should adopt this mbss, I
hope that Congress will fend out an
amendment that the pay of the state
legislatures, (hall be dated by the
representatives of the union."

Seventh. —That a part of the in
