INDIA.

(From the Suppiement to Mr Government Gazette, Feb. 211
secntx, Fru. 12.
I am happy to say, that matters to the eastward are gradually
assuming a more favourable aspect. The pioneers have done
wonders. Lieutenant Fisher extended his route beyond Acquate,
to within 21 miles of Munnipore, and reports the country as im-
proving daily, after you pass the forest, which, by this time, I
Imagine the pioneers have got throngh. Eight hundred slunni-
pores, with about 3,000 tools of difrerent descriptions, have been
sent to assist in clearing the jungle, and preparing the road.
AR RAC•N.—Brigatlier-Oeneral Morriscn's division was still
detained in camp at Mungdoo on the 11th instant, owing to the
great difficulties and delay experienced in getting the cattle across
the Naaf, but he was to move upon Arracan on the following
day. The first march would take the army to Allysurigeea, a
line open plain on the sea shore, distant about 15 miles from
Alungcloo, over a good road.
Brigadier Richards had been detached with the 26th Regiment
of Native Infantry, and part of the Mug Levy, to take Lowad-
hang, which place he reached on the evening of the 6th instant,
and found it evacuated. He returned to camp on the 9th instant.
The whole of the country to the northward and westward of the
Mayone River has now been abandoned by the enemy without
awaiting the most trifling encounter, and general order and tran-
quillity prevail. On the advance of the force it was intended to
leave Major Roope (62d Native Infantry) in charge of Mungdoo,
with a sufficient detachnunt to insure the protection of the native
Arraeanese In that quarter. The chief obstacles to be met with
between the Naar and the Poretung, or Arracan River, are stated
to be the deep and wide nullahs, which must, necessarily, delay
considerably the progress of the Dirision. Up to the 7th inst. the
latest weekly return of the sick presents only seven Eu.
ropeans and twenty Natives of the whole force.
The road to bowatillung is described as being precipitous and
' difficult in the extreme, and many of the passes such as a very few
men might defend against the advance of numbers. One ele-
phant was killed by falling over a precipice, but no other accident
occurred. The stockade contains many newly constructed houses,
but is not described as being particularly extensive or strong.
(Wally a vestige of cultivation presents itself in the vicinity.

DISPUTE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATESi
AND GEORGIA.

The following key has been supplied to the late
blustering Report of the Georgian House of Representa-
tives, against the general Government of the United
States:—

The State of Georgia and the Creek nation of Indians
mutually claim certain lands in, or in the neighbourhood
of, Georgia. Of these the Georgians have long sought to
possess themselves ; but as the Government of the United
States have undertaken to protect the Indians from in-
justice, they will not allow the State of Georgia to acquire
those lands °them ise than by amicable negotiation. A
short time since a cession of the disputed territory was
made to the State of Georgia by Mimes!), one of the •
Chiefs, in constquence of which the other Chiefs of the
Creel-Indians assembled together, and (as they urge, ac-
cording to their custom under such circumstances) put hint
to death, for executing such instrument without the assent,.
previously obtained, of the majority of the Chiefs of the
nation.

The Governer of Georgia contends that,: the cis.iion
having been made, the General Government of the United
States have no farther right of interference; whilst the
latter, on the other hand, maintain that the act not being
by Indian custom legal (and it also being possible that the
Chief who executed the deed might have been bribed
thereto), and the rest of the Chiefs of the Creek nation re-
fusing to confirm the transfer, they cannot suffer it to take
place, considering the cession to have been imperfect, and
therefore illegal.

It is reported at Corfu that the British Government in-
tends to grant to the Government of the Jordan Islands the
establishment of some free ports, and that Corfu and
Zanre are liopose4l as such. This measure would have a
most favourable effect on the trade of these islands. On
the 27th instant his Majesty's corvette Rose arrived from
Malta, with about 20,000/. sterling, in British money,
which is to be put in circulation instead of that hitherto
current in these islands.

Letters from Trieste of the 12th state, a vessel arrived
flout England bad been ordered to the usual quarantine of
twenty-eight days ; but in consequence of strong remon-
strances the time of quarantine bad been reduced to four-'
teen days. The letters mention that all the correspondence
of the merchants, letters, despatches, &c. bad been opened
by the Austrian authorities for upwards of a wei k previ-
ously to the 12th instant, in consiquence of orders from
the Government.

The Wen Got:ctic of the Ltd) instant gives accounts
of the pro,gress of the Emperor of Austria and his Royal
Consort through their Italian States. TheY Were every
where received with acclamations. Their Majesties visited
the public institutions of the several cities wit:eh they
passed through, and inspected the larger manufactories,
leaving various marks of their satisfaction and benevolence
behind. The sum cf 6,000 tire was given for distribution
to the poor of Milan. On the 9th they reached the Duchy
of Parma.

Itigou, a member of the Haytian House of Repre-
sentatives, who lately arrived in this country on a private
mission from that Government, died on Sunday last of
a fever, brought on, as is supposed, by the heat of the
weather. He is said to have expressed much disappoint-
ment at not having been received with greater marks of,
distinction here, having been led to suppose that this Go-'
vernment were inclined to pursue the same course with re-
spect to St. Domingo, which. they had adopted towards the
new American States. His immediate business in this
• country related, we believe, to the formation of an asso-
ciation for trading and mining in St. Domingo.
A vast deal of Church property has been sold this sea-
son. The low rate of interest will account for the high
prices it now produces, as compared with former years ;
' add to this the di2iculty of finding employment fur the
11 younger branches of a family hi the navy and army, and
satisfactory reason for increased value in Church property
will be a:mart nt. The advowson, and next presentation
to the living of Ewhurst, in Sussex, worth 1,0)01. a year,
and the next presentation and advowson to the living of
Liskeard, in Cornwall, worth HJI. a year, are announced
for pubiic competition on the 9th inst. Mr. George
has the direction of thew soles.
