SIR,
Tara. 1.-1 113ve the honour to acknawledge the rtreipt of
your Mace-I.:lves ll:vetches, up.d3r date the 19th, ,6th, and
29th 13e.cenee •t, ism 3, aoo 1 eutirely approve your Exce!lency's
conduct toward., J.ewunt Rao Hulkar and the Letters which
you have have rithinmed to that Chletian.
2. The Lett ere., of which ieiwunt /two Milker has trans
mat. 41 copies to Excellent, must have been forwarded _ _
Generol Wiles ey in his own name. 1
ktter to Jeswant Rae Maker, hut Ma-
- authunsed by my iu.Yoetiawet the

..

. •
tllth of June to open in amicable negotiation with that Chief •
tam.
S. It 8 now expedient to decide the course to be pursued'
with respect to Jerrunt Rao Hellcat.
4. t , great distance of the Honourable Major General
Wellesley's position front the Cam's of Jcswunt Rao Milker,
must render the intercourse difficult from that quarter; and
as your Excellency's situation is more likely to be consenient
`for that purpose, it is my intention that your Excellency should
immediately (yen a negotiation with Jeswunt Ranlifolkar.
A copy of this disp..teii will he immediately transniitted to
the Hui. Mtjor-Getteral Wellesley, with a view to enab:e that
,)dicer to promote the objects of theic instructions, if enema-
ounces should Ming the army of Major-General Wellesley
within a convenient distance ofJicwunt Rao Helices camp
6. The authority exercised by Jeiwunt Rao Holkar, in the
name of Kundee Rau, over the pessessimis of the Holkar fa•
is manifestly an usurpation of the rights of Cashee Rau
Holkar, the leg.uinate heir and successor of Serkojee Holkar.
Consistently, therefore, with the prioci,iles of justice, no ar•
rangemeht can be prorused between the British Grivernment
and Jcswitnt Rau Ho'icar, inynying a sanaion of Cashee Rau
Holkar from his hereditary dominions.
7. tinder the sanaiun of Ha I highness the Peshwa's autho-
rity, the British Government would be justified in adopting
measures for the limitation of Jeswtint Rio Holkar's power,
end for the restoration of Cashee Rao Holkaes rights, either by
force Or compromise ; and the spirit of our engagement with
His Highness the Peshwa might be considered to impose ott
the Bi lush Government an eh'igation ti comply with a requi•
sition on the part of His II ighoess .hr that purpose. Undco the
public proteetion of the British Government, the Peshwe may
pot uO he anxious for the reduction Holkar's power, is; lit
the restarstinn of Cashee Rao Holkar to his hereditary rights;
but it may be semiarid that His Hag:moss would readily couleur
in a proposition fur the restoration of Cashee Rao, and for the
punishment of Jeswunt Ran Holkar.
8. Although the British Goverainent is precluded, by con-
siderations of justice, from the adoption of any arrangement
with Jesw mit Ran Holkar, involving a formal confirmation
of his usurped authority, or that of Eunice Ran, over the
possession of the Holkar family, we are not required with the
express solicitation of the Peslawa to employ nur influence or
arils fur the restoration of Cashee Rau floikar to his heredi-
tary dominions,
9 The British Government, therefore, may be considered
to he at liberty to adopt either of the alternatives stated in the
following propositions:
hat. To restore to Cashee Rao Holkar the possession of his
hereditary rights, securing at the same tune a provsion for Jes-
wont Ran Holkar, and for Koehler* Rau; this proposition would
necewarity involve the reduaiout of Jeswunt Rau Holkar's
power either by raver or by curuppeuise.
2d_ To consid-r Jetwoot Ran Holkar as a power absolutely
',natal., and to limit our prorewitrags with respect to him, to
the protection of nur territories, and of our allies, against his
encroachments and exactions. •

- -
Ht. The enterprising spirit, m;htary character, aio ambiti.
ous views halfwit Ran Holkar, render the redoetloh of his
power a desirahk object with reference to the complete esta-
blishment .1* traequillity in India. The restoration of Cashee
Rao 14-Ikar to his IterNlitary tight., by the aid and und..r
th.r protection of the Erdnilt Power, would be highly cre-
ditable to the justice and honour of the Rriti,ls Government,
aid alvantsgeous to its interest.; it 'night be expected that
Cashee Ran would readily auguimee in any arrangement winch
might be iteensed adri.able, fir the emerite of our intcr.st.,
as the condition of his restoration. Indebted to our power L.r
the recovery of his right., and depeioline on our support for
:their preservation, his idter•sts would he pen:alimony consoli-
dated with that of the British ()overlain:At, has restoration
mould obtain the concurrence and applau.e of every State in
India, and would afford to the Peshwa an additional proof of
rior sincere dispootion to respect the right. ~f thy Martutra
feitslatories, and to 4141 the o'allstions ,sue public faith.

11. I shOutelnot hesitate, theriedire, fn dAer:nieing to effect
the restoration of Ca' ghee Idea Hat to his hereditary d out-
worn, if the measwesue.mosary fez the becoaselis'anieot of that
objezt had not involved 4ifficultlei and embaoratorogiits which
mold not br ononoeinated be 1112 prohyble benefits of the pro-

THE B JUTISH: PJ&ES

I UNDON,
TUESDAY, FBI 26.

By very recent accounts from Gibraltar, we are
happy to lesrn that the disease, which had raged
there with so much violence, has nearly, if not to-
tally, subsided t and it is confidently hoped that the
decisive and judicious measures direasd by the Go-
vernor will prevent a recurrence of the pestilence.
Greater precautions will, in future, be taken for the
interior economy and cleanliness of the inhabitants,
than have heratoraro been tit-night ne:essary. There
can ►e no doubt that the late dread! al ravages were
chiefly owing to the want of attention in this parti-
cular. We do not mention this circurn,tance with a
•iew to cast the slightest refleCtion on any former
Governer of that important fortress., many of
whom, and in particular cot, of illustrious rank,

I

have manifested the greater 7.? 11 in the it,troluslion
of the most beneficial regulations. It is to be rear :r..
bered, that Gibraltar has hitherto been considered a
peculiarly healthy port, nor could it, from former
experience, have been expelled to suffer in the way
it has now d rite; for, during all former eavages of
pestilential diseases in. Spain, and on the cciang
Barbary, this g.trrison has escaped. If it has now
suffered in an extraordinary degree, we are pip
to look for the caures rather in the crowded share-
tions, and i:nperte6t accommodations for the nume-
rous adventurers whom British commerce Must
draw together there, than to anyotber circumstaoce.
The population of Gibraltar consisks of a rniy.!are of
Jews, Christians, M usselnien, and Pagans, diff::ir,7l
in manners, in prejudices, and in habits of life. The:
constituted, it is not surprising that a contagion that a
ease should rage violently ; perhaps we have In.ne •
cause to be grateful that so many should have berg)
spared.—We believe that the mortahry has b: a
about one-fifth, or perhaps a fourth of the while
population. The following is a corrreit statm
which we are the more anxious to lay before the
public, as several very erroneous accounts have boar
given.

We yesterday gave an account of the splendid
preparations made in Windsor Castle, for this mag-
nificent entertainment, whiCh took place last night,
and are now enabled to add the following pat ticn.
lams: His MAJESTY, with that truly benevolent
intention, which governs all his anions, to make his
people happy, had so divided the evening's amose-
ments, as to delight and amuse all, at the same tinie.
• the manner most suited to them. To this end,
one rom, the QUEE'N'S Audience Chamber, was
cued up with an orchestra and seats, in the style of
A Theatre, where the Oratorio of h4ther was per-
formed; in the adjoining apartment were card par-
ties; and in the one close,to that, the ball. The prin-
cipal Vocal Performers engaged for the Concert,
were Madame BIANCHI, Messrs. BARTLEIA•H,

We have always thought that \!r. SHERIDAN'S
wit was genuine, the effusion of the moment. and
never smelt of the lamp. An old friend in a News-
paper, however, gives the following, account of it :
/audini, to the speech with which he will introduce
his intended motion for the repeal of the Army
Defence Mt, the writer to whom we allude says,
4.‘ Mr. SHERIDAN'S speech, though equally pleasant
as Mr. Witinsu sm's, will perhaps have more re-
search in it. Na man is mote casvful in iris ranks:-
W.ll than Mr. SHERIDAN—he never speaks upon any
subjeiff, however humorously and lightly he may
treat it, and however it may seem to the hearer to
be .in ry.,emporaneous effusion, without having well
con,iiiered it before hand."
Yesterday • Mr. Trish., of Conduit-street. was
•brought before Sir R. Faun, and Messrs. ROBIN-
SON and K I ONA so; the Sitting Magistrates, charged
with violeitty assaulting Mr. Birch, of Spring.
Gardens, in the pit, and in the lobby of the pit, on
Saturday evening.
It appeared by the evidence of Mr. B. and seve-
ral witnesses, that the prisoner gave him many vio-
lent blows on his face, without any provocation,
except treading upon his toes, by accident. The
prisoner is six fvt high, and Mr. Birch is but of a
middle statute, and, of course, had no chance in
settling any dt-laite in a pugilistic style. The ;iiri-
soner then attempted a recrimination, by charging
Mr. B. with the first assault, in wilfully treadiag
upon his toes ; but the Magistrates discharged the
complaint, deeming it frivolous and vexatious; but
that they considered the condnet of Mr. Ftiste in a
very serious light, hi: behaviour being so very vio-
lent, as well as disorderly, for so public a place as
the Opera-House was, especially as it was in the
presence of several of the Royal Family, and there-
fore held him to bail in the arm 0ft,2001. and
two sureties of tool. each, to aniswer the complaint
of Mr. Birch, at the ensuing sessions.
Mr. Bose, an old gentleman, r:sidertt in Nor-
folk-street, Strand, supposed to be the tallest man
in London, was thrown down opposite Fleet-mar-
ket yesterday, by one of a flock of sheep, which ran
between his legs. It was supposed that his thigh
was broken, and he was with great difficulty put
into a hackney coach, and carried home. The
thigh had swelled so much it could not be ascer-
tained, at a late hoar last night, whether it were ac •
tually broken or not.

He stated, that :he Plaintiff was an Officer in the
Life Guards ; and that the Defendant was also a
Captain in the same regiment.; -after some prelimi-
nary observations upon the good un.lers, anding •
which should subsist amongst persons of the descrip-

tion had to complain of against the Defendant—he..
commended, in the Lighest terms, the steps which
the Plaintiff pursued. in bringing the present guess- . •
Lion before a Jury, icatcad of resotting to the usual c
remedies upon such occasions. He then state 4 is
the dispute between the parties originated in a beacssiec •
in g which the Defendant had given a Black servitot
of Plaintiffs, of the name of Dixon, for which
the latter brought a civil a•flioo, which was tr,..d
the sittings after last Term tnd of which we gave
a report in our paper of the tigth of June last), and
Dixon then obtained a verdift. In consequence of
this, the DelendArit insisted the present Plaintiff
should discharge his Stick- servant, which the lat-
ter refusing to do, an altereati-n took place, and the
Defendant told the Plaintiff " That he was a scoun-
drel, and that he (meaning the Defendant) would
' take the first opportunity of shaking a whip over his
head."
Major Callan, of the• same regiment, and who
vas present at the transadion, proved the threat
made use of by the Defendant, but varied in some of
the expressions ; he stated, that the Defendant called
the Plaintiff a blackguard, and not a scoundrel, as
stated in the declaration; be was proceeding to
state, that the Officers of the regiment raftt,ed to
associate with the Platioriff, conc-iving that he
should hay, taken honourable satisfadion—when
Lord Et.1:1144101tOM:H observed, that. as they were

the part of the Tsefenlint, declaring he could am-

gave a full report in our Paper of the 10th of

I,Villiam Jones, the Poll r nark, who had adminis-
tered the oath to the Defendant, whose evtdeiice
was material. was called, but did not appear.
It appeared, from the Poll books, that a person,
calling himself William Prince, had pulled on the
second day, for Sir Francis Burdett, whose freehold
Was situate' in Stone-cutter's-alley.
Philip Prince deposed, that he lived in Tower-
street, Seven Dials ; be knew the Dtfendant, who
was a sioe,maker by trade, and had worked tot
him; he recolleaed going to Brentford on the se-
cond or third day of the poll, in company with the
Defendant, who told him he was going to do the
work (as he expressed it) in his, the witness's, canto.
He saw the Detendaat at the Hustings, and met
him afterwards at the Globe Public-house, where he
again repeated he had done the work, meaning,
that he hail voted in the witness's name.
Upon his cross-examination by Mr. Ct. treono,
he admitted he knew etc Defendant's intention to
poll in his name, before he went to the I lnei-rns ;
he did not then mention it to a- y botly ; he tone 'not
then employed by Mr. Mainwaring's etsents, tts
teft fiaitious votes, but was afterward. engegettlh
that way. He did not see him poll, but beleved he
was the same person; he was sent to the King's
Bench prison, to see the Defendant, whom he thea
recolletted to be the same.
John Hunter, Esq. was then examined. He stat-
ed, he had been attending a Committee of the House
of Commons, • upon the late Middlesex General
EleCtion, which was suddenly adjourned ; he look-
ed into the Court, through curio,ity ; 're had not
bean wisp:eased as a witness. but happened te'be
in Conte by accident. He attended almost the
whole of the time of the poll at Brentford, 'and
recollefted seeing the Defendant poll ; he ohserved,
at the time, that he appeared to be very young, arid
objefted to him, as being under age; but that otjec-
lion was over-ruled, by his taking the usual afli-
davit.
The Clerks and Rent Receiver of the 'Mercers'
Company proved, that the premises stated in the
Indiament were the property of the Meteors' Com-
pany, and held by a person of the name of Grint, who
regularly paid the rent for some years, and no i.art
of the premises were occnisied by Pro ice.
