LONDON,
MONDAY, APRIL 11.

The hopes of established tranquillity in India,
which recent accounts taught us to indulge, have
proved delusive. The General Stuart packet
arrived on Saturday at Portsmouth, from Bengal,
with dispatches announcing the renewal of hostili-
ties. She sailed from Bengal on the eth of De-
cember, arrived at St. Helena the 14th of Fe-
bruary, and sailed from thence on the gist. Mr.
CANNON. the Purser, arrived in town on Saturday,
with the dispatches. They state, that Deonua•
KIWI, a Zeruindar in the District of Ally-
ghur, in the conquered provinces, whose con-
duct has ever been refractory, had compelled the
Governor-General to have recourse to military
force to reduce him to submissio►►. Lord L•ac,
from motives of humanity, forgave his repeated
acts of violence and disaffection towards the
British Government, on condition that he should
surrender or destroy the guns in the strong
fort of Cumoona, fill up the ditch, and dis-
band his forces. This lenity had no effect : the
conditions were never complied with ; and advice.
having been received of his coatinued violence to-
wards the inhabitants, his resistance to the autho-
rity of the Magistrates, and his strengthening the
fort, the Covernor-General felt himself obliged to
order a military force, under the command of
Mejor-Gentral Mamas, and Lieut.-Col. Hoes-
roan of the artillery, to reduce him to obedience.
Cn.nooua, as being one of bis strongest felts, was
the first attacked. It is situated between Agra
and Delhi. The British force arrived before it
on or about the gild October. Major-General
Dtcasss found it much stronger than it had been
represented, and was therefore obliged to pre.
ceed by regular approaches. A breach having
been 'Sheeted abort the middle of November,
Major-General Dicxzes attempted to take
the place by storm. The esssult was made
by the troops on the fort and fortified garden,
bet they were obliged, after a most desperate
MLitt:, to retreitt with great loss. The garrison.
however,• intiu►ideted by the intrepidity of the
attack; amid dreading • renewal of the assar►it,
eva-
cuated the fort iii the uight.

Oa the tiDth November, we kern the General
had p.orede4 to another fort, and great hopes
were eatertained that the =rend strong holds be-

leaser.

The other ueeuunts of the internal state of h.
din. broUght by the General Stuart, are of a more
a,z,reeuble nature. It is said that the India Go.
sefinnent, apprised of the designs of Filmic sod
Itussia sTainst Hindustan, were engaged in attach-
ing the native Powers to its interest. .Scients and
Ilaticaa are represented as having made the
warmest professions of friendship, sod to have
offered to assist the British Power in repelling any
attempt to disturb the common tranquillity—the
CAUAtsUR Petattw♦ 111111 NIZAN have made nun-
lar declarations, probably with more sincerity ; but
the circumstance which more than any ether ms.
infests the general sentim.-sit in India in favour of
the English is, that the Seiks have consented to
the occupation of some strong passes iu their coun-
try by British troops, in the breast of the laseacal
javelin's being attempted.
Depots of stores are *arming in the upper pro-
vinces, and many of the hill forts are repairing.
Several floating batteries are constructing at
Bombay, to be stationed on the Indus sod its
branches, and numerous small armed vessels are to
be stationed in the Western Gulphs.
The Mean is preparing a new coinage. Must
of the other Powers of India are following bis ex-
ample, in consequence of the depreciated scats of
their coin..

Genend BARLOW, who was invested with the
temporary government of India, on the death of

satisfaction to the Braid' abroad, and the India
