soMllAT. FCC. 'll. 1505‘
By advises of the 96th January, just received
from Penang, via Madras, we learn the pleasing
intelligence, that the differences with the Chinese
Government had been finally and amicably ad-
joined ; that Admiral Drury had arrived at Penang
with our troops, which had iu consequence been
withdrawn from Macao.
In consequence of information baring been re-
ceived at Penang, that two French frigates had
been seen off Palo Aor, on the 17th January, by
the Diana brig, who hid been chased by them, and
escaped only by throwing her gnus overboard, Sir
Edward Pellew had instantly put his fleet in mot
Lion; and having dispatched the Russel to the
Semite of Dane rod Bane*, with eiders intimately
to proceed to Batavia, sealed with the Cabala,
Plisetirs and Procrid, to the mouth of the Straits.
Admiral Drory's Beg was flying on board the Cey-
lon, boned to Madras.
Weeps sorry to add, that the Diceowery, Captain
Roes, which had been Met with the Diana, under
a lag of trace to Manilla, for the purpose of bring-
ing away Captain Pakenham and the Greyhound's
iota, had been captured by the French frigates
above mentioned—unfortunately, Captain Paken-
ham and 130 men were ou hoard the Direowory.—

THE WAR IN TRAVANCORE.
The feetauste result of the late military opera-
tions is Travancore has at length been communi-
cated to the public through the medium of the
Ildadrits Prints. We are not at present prepared to
enter into a full or particular history of the origin
of the disturbances in that country. They were
principally or solely excited by the ambition and
turbulence a the Dews., and were attended in
their commencement with circumstances of great
treachery and cruelty. The faction which that
Minister had the address to attach to his per-
son and cause, was much more formidable, in
point of numbers. than circumstances would
have led us to expect. It has been even rated
so high as 50,000 Nails, upon very credible
aothority, and beyond doubt it was exceed-
ingly great. The major portion, indeed, were
armed only with bows and aroma ; but the charac-
teristic Moisragek harthhoort, and enterprise of the
tribe, made op, in some degree, for the inferiority
of their weapons, and rendered them far from con-
temptible foes.
In the course of the month of January, three se-
veral attacks were in aide by the. Dewan's army, on
the British subsidiary farce at Clinton, amounting
to needy 5,000 men, under the command of Lien-
tenant-Colonel Chalmers. On the 19th of the
same month an attempt was also made on Major
Hewitt's detachment at Cochin. In each of these
affairs, the ant my was powerful in numbers. ,and
displayed considerable boldness sad perseveraue.
The skill and intrepidity, however, of our Officers
and men, uniformly triumphed, and he was driven
from the held with a heavy slaughter. On our
part, success was happily purchased with hardly
any blood,hed.
At length the army appointed to penetrate into
the 'Pnirancore country, under the command of

Lieutenant-Colonel St. Leger, commenced its
operations, and the celebrated lines of Arumbooly
*ere carriesl by storm on the 10th of February....
Of this emploit, which, for boldness of concel..ioe,
and resolution of conduct, is rivalled by few
achievements in the military history of India, we
have much ;demure in laying before our readers the
following details :--•
The many took op their position on the frnntier
earl/ is February, and were engaged for several
successive days in reconnoitering the formidable
defences upon which the enemy rested his secu-
rity. At length • practicable point was fortunately
discovered iu the works upon the South Hill.
Those works enfilade the whole line of defence in
one direction ; while the redoubt, on the North
Hill, commands it on the other side. Behind the
battery, ne the southern eminence, some old walls
were perceived, which, to all appearance, the enemy
had abandoned. The ascent, in that quarter, was
of no great difficulty; but a deep and impervious
jungle, which skirted the foot of the mountain,
presented an obstacle to the approach of troop*,
of • nature sufficiently discouraging. After ma-
ture deliberation, however, it was determined to
attempt this pert of the wall by surprise ; • plan
of assault wis arranged and adopted, and every
-necessary precaution taken to insure its success.
Ott the night of the 10th of February, a storming
party! woo recirdingly Formed, ender the command
lir Maim Webth, and marched out of camp to the
left. by a reed leading to the southward, which the
pioneers had p..evionsly prepared. The party was
compuard of two companies, sod the piquet of Blis
Majesty's 69th re. lineal, amounting. in all. to 150
Europeans. under Capt. Syms, besides seven v.- .
lunteer ortillerymeu; the two Bask companies of
