Mt LORD,
Major General rampbell, on the 27th of Decem-
ber, received information, that a large body of plun-
derers, amounting to 10,000 horsemen and peons,
td crossed the Kistua at the Dharoor Chant, and
were proceeding towards the Toombudra and the
Company's frontier. This body of plunderers was
condoned by a Macssulman, who assumed the cha-
rafter of a Faquir, and the name of the late Moo-
podia W.ingb. The depredations already commit.
red by these plunderers, their manifest intention of
passing the Toombudra, and the extensive and se-
rious evils which they were calculated to occasion in
the countries of the Company, and its allies, rendered
it indispensable to attack, and disperse them with
every possible degree of promptitude: and Major
General Campbell commenced his march in pursuit
of them, on the 28th of December, with the cavalry
and the flank companies of the infantry of his divi.
sion. After a forced march of considerable length,
Major General Camphal had the good fortune to
get up with tic plunderers, on the morning of the
31st of December. He attacked them immediately,
and dispersed them, after killing and wounding up-
wards of 3.070 of their number.
I have the honour of forwarding to your Excel-
cellency .! copy of Major General Campbell's report
of that affair, which reSeas considerable credit on '
the exertions of that officer and the troops under his
command. No doubt eats esist of his early success,
having relieved the Company's Northern Provinces,
and the Doab, from depredation similar to those
w:rich were comrniactl by the late Dhoondia Waugh.
I have the honour to be, with the highest respell,
try Lord, your Excellency's most faithful, most
obedient and uevoted bumble servant,
(Sped) J. STUART.

SIR,

I have the honour to submit to you the following
account of the operations of this divNion of the army
since my letter of the 27th inst. on the evening of
which day I received positive itiltormation, that •
party of Ailarhatta plunderers, Ainounting to about
10,000 horse, and pindarries oft foot, bad passed
the K.ctna at the Dharoor Ghaut, and was pm
ceeding toward% Mood; tursor, in the trail of our
Deinjaries.

I marched on the 29th from Woodapoory, with

the cavalry and flank companies, lightly equirpei,
leaving Colonel Vigors to follow me by v.v.), st.igc,
ar.d next mulling reached Jally-hall, where a party
of marauding horse, sent to watch our motion.,
was surprised Isy the cavalry catnp colour men ac-
companying Major Strachan to mat k out the ground
of our encampment, and their Chief Coureg, Gaw-
ran, a notorious plunderer, with several officers,
were brought in prisoners.
At Sally-hall, Hurkaras came in with intelligence,
that the Marhatta freebooter, who assumed the
name of Doondia Waugh, had pitched his encamp-
ment between Doodyhall and Sloodianoor, wit:t
intention of intercepting our convoys, and carrying
his depredations beyond the Toonabudra.
To arrest his progress, I marched on the 29th, at
'riven o'clock p. towards Moo Ironer. and on
reaching Hanampsagur this morning, about four
a. a. had accounts brought me, that • 1 was within
six tulles of the enemy, who was entirely ignore t
ormy approach. As the day dawned I came ■p
with them, and finding the whole in confusion, 1 •
pushed with the cavalry into the center of their.
camp, meting with but little oppmition.

In less than an hour the affair was at him. Two
thousand of the enemy were killed on the spot, and
upwards of one thousand were wounded, or taken
prisoners, the remainder, throwing down their krmi,
dispersed in all direflions.
I hare only to regret that 3000 of their horse,
under Jittim Kaiser, a well known Marauder, had
moved, the day previous to my arrival, on a plun-
dering excursion towards Gajinder Ghur.
The leader of the party, tslahonsed Beg Khan,
who assumed the name of Dhonntlea. is wounded
and pi ironer; the whole of their baggage, bazars, and
upwards of 20.000 Brinjerry bullocks, have fallen
into our hands. Our loss, I am happy to say, is
trifling, a report of it is jransmitted with this : the
horses missing will. I have no doubt. be mewl,' re-
covered, as the enemy was nearly annihilated. and
the Nizam's Peons are nor; in pursuit of the few
that fled unarmed.

Four Frenchmen accompanied this rare•. One
of them was killed, and bore the apprarance and
dress of a person above the common rank, the
others escaped on good horses by early Right.
I have.every reason to applaud the conduit of
the troops, cavalry, artillery, infantry. and pioneers,
on this occasion. The fatigues they hare lately
titi..;ergone, have been veat, but their zeal for the
public 5:1 vice is without bounds. The flank cons.

jesty's 3:4 regiment. after marching thirty miles,
were up with the cavalry, and bad their full share

derers. I have the honour to be, &c. &c.

A circums•ance somewhat singular is exempli-
fied in the vessel, which brought the Turkish Am.
bassador to Bombay. From the Nluzzuffer having
been for many years laid up, a number of swallows,
encouraged by the undisturbed state of the vessel,
have been accustomed to build their nests annually
in various parts of the ship; the Muszuffar, sailing
from Bushire, at the nesting season, when the birds
had commenced, or hid completed their annual la-
bour, the swallows had followed her the whole of
the way to Bombay, have since continued, and are
now to be seen in numbers about the Mazzuffer,
but not about any other vessel in the harbour.
The progress of vaccination must always prove
an interesting enquiry. We are happy to announce
its complete establishment in the province of Gu-
zeratt. •

On Thursday last, the civil and military gentle.
men of the Establishment gave a farewell bail and
supper at St. Scbastian's, to General MoDo‘sall.
The ball•room was decorated with oak•leavcs,
tastefully arranged, and interspersed with lamps.
Tents were pitched in the garden, under which, a
sapper was served, abounding with every delicacy

The company a..erribled was very numerous, and
its brilliancy was greatly increased by the late Arri-
vals from Europe and Bombay. The (iming con-
tinued until three in the morning. It was, how.

took from its gaiety, and that the amusements of the
