MADRAS PAPERS.

lIADtAti JULY 18.

Most deplorable details continue to reach us from
Bengal, of the rapid progress of the fatal epidemic.
About 30.000 are said to have fallen victims to it
at Gorruckpoor, in the coarse of oue month.

•UQUS? I.

We observe by the Bengal General Order., that
Captain Browne. who commanded the guard, from
which the Ilaialt of Nagpnew effected his escape,
is to lie tried by a General Court-Martial.
The setting in of the rains will proltably put •
atop to the operations of tiro troops that are yet in
the field ; but unless she subjugation of a ft w re-
fractory Kill, des, titere terrains nothing to com-
plete the triumph of our arm. The settlement of
the Stater, which the late brilliant campaign has
placed at the disposal of the Marquis of Hastings,
will next occupy his Lordship's attention ; and
judgiug from tale line of wise and vigorous policy
which he loc hitherto tongued, we may auticipitr
with the 'vomit eusitiilence, that such a system of
control and superiotentlence will be introduced, as
will put is final stop to the scrota of rapine and pil-
lage that have au lout: desolated some of the floret
provisoes of Hitolmtait. We base all along regard-
ed the measures of Load Hustings as eminently cal-
culated to promote the interests of the British Em-
pire itt the East. That the reins of Administration
should have fullest into his Lordship's hands, at a
period *6 big wills importance to the future peace
and prosperity of India, is one of those beiteficeut
gifts of Providence fur which we cannot he too
thankful; and that lie may lung continue to guide
them, is a prayer which every one will prefer, who
is interested in the welfare of the British power in
Media.

AUGUST 15.
We copy the following article from the India
Guzette, of the 47111 July :
I.,tiers received from Ajmere, dated the 211
instant, stale, that on the morning of the 40th of
June, Seindia delivered over the town nod fort
to the British Government. Repot) Scin did
nit at first feel inclined to give up his trust, but
after the delay of a day or so, the city was given
up, and Ballots retired to the fort with his people.
This place being nearly inaccessible, Balmer seemed
determined to hold out, but on the let instant,
some guns amid howitzers were got up to withiti
300 yards of the wall. The enemy kept up a
sniping fire upon the troops who were escorting the
gums; and Ilitpoo, as soots as he found that the ar-
tillery was in battery. agreed to surrender. On the
eri lie tpiii..d the fort, wtal tl.e gate was occupied
by a c slimy of the it7tit. 'lt .s .aid that there was
• deep valley between thr bitters and fort, and that
if the enemy had liven deterntio)ed, the troops never
could have gut the olive-in, ascent to a•-mutt them.
