Malwa, with strict orders from government prohibiting Ull•

rupee, to natives under their jurisdiction. The Malwa cor-
resp orient of the lionshay 7 i.e., is said to be the cause of
the order. and of many other little instructions wk.& have
been received in • confidential way of late. The resident
has appli,d (or the services of Ensign Mildmay. '2sth B. N. I.
and it is said that he will be appointed to the
Malwa Bheel corps, whether as second in es:mm=4
or adjutant, is not known. It was supposed
that, in consequence of the financial state of the funds from
from which the corps is paid, no second o:tic.r would be ap-
pointed. Captain Durand, political agent at Bhopal will
be appointed to Neemuch ; and Captain E'en most likely
will be sent to Bhopal, as he has acted so frequently.
and is the senior civil officer in this part of the world.
It is supposed that the political dutbs at Bhopawar
will short!) be g:ven to Captain Stockley, as the Rajahs
of Jsboah and Buwanee will soon he of age. on which
event the salary of the guardian, Captain Wilkie, will
lapse, and bis appointment would not he worth keeping.
But as the political agency of Mehtilvor is likely be-
fore long to be Jr.,.. away with, and the dici,s conducted
by an assistant stationed at Rudman, it is supposed Cap-
tain Wilkie will be appointed. Lieutenant aylor his
returned to his duty, and Shout Al:y has lost his acting
employment. Captain Harris has dtputed from Males
to join his corps, and if report is title, and prevailing ea-
moues are not gross falsehoods, he has been most shamefully
used, and has hail no fair opportunity of proving the
charges he sent in, and, what is more, has been refused
common justice.
The atftir betwixt the insurgent Roliiilss and the
Nixam appears to have been settled. The following
