LAST INDIES.

By the arrival of the Buesorah Merchant, from Madras,
we hove reesived filetiof East India Papers to the 4th of
March. ;hirsiyeontain no news from the army later than
or e were in possession of. We make the following

Abwor...aandl the intention of our Government regarding the latter
--haws been as ascertain and contradictory as the most insensate
fold ease could possibly desire. We love even seen two letters
tress Meal see, dated the same day, and giving accounts of the
eteltrOt affairs in many respects diametrically opposite to each
sear. These circumstances will account for the contradictory
stesiensnts that have appeared in all the papers, and prepare our
renders for more of them. We believe, however, that the follow.
Sag information may be relied on :
Letters from head-quarten, dated the 7th inst.. state that the

regiments proceeding immediately to their respective stations.

is said little ow DO doubt remained of his playing us false ; for in
Use shoo of the Ree-Wonghee were found some letters from him,
urging the Burmese to a prosecution of the war, enumerating our

whom they have no:him to tear. He advises them not to attempt

out spine of operations for them to pursue, which displays no
small degree of knowledge sod discrimination. Being himself a

lay to tab; but we cannot very reasonably find fault with bas pa.
trionam. We may learn, however, from his conduct, to be omi-
nous how far we Mist the professions of any of them who fall into
our handa. We remain without any news from the army in Upper
India. Altar has out yet submitted; and it is now said. indeed.
that our forte is not to be employed against it, but Ppeetlily to go
again into cantonments, the object for which it was called into the
field having been accomplish. Independent of the troops with
the Rajah of Aiwa, in the Furt, there is in his service, at this mo-
ment, a body of 30,000 hone.
The state of matters at Aiwar is not very well or very generally
known. We believe that the Rajah left the Ouddie to a son and
nephew jointly ; the son is not a pure Rajpoot, it seems, while
the nephew is, and consequently the Jaut supports the latter, who
is said to have his cousin in durance vile. 'I he Newaub Amhed
thltsh, who resides at Delhi, had been understood to be friendly
to the son of the late Rajah, in opposition to the AIWA!
Chiefs, who employed a person to assassinate him. The attempt
failed, and the assassin, after taking refuge in Alwar, was given up
1.. Sir David Ochterinny by his own employers. and if not still,
was some time ago in confinement at Delhi. We have not, how.
ever, learned that we are under any obligation, expressed or iin-
p3ed, to support the one Rajah or the other, or to maintain the
• toverament by two Rajahs as very unwisely. aettled by the last
Prints.
[From the Bombay Courier, Feb.
We understand that the onion-loos has been raging in Cutch with
unexampled virulence; and that there hail been no less than
seven hundred victims mit in one district, in the short period of a
month. It is, however, ratifying to learn, that the inquiries which
have been made clearly establish the tact, that those who had un-
dergone vaccination, either entirely escaped the disease, Or had it in
NO mild and modified a form, as seldom or never to prove fatal.
We trust the natives of that part of the country will now become
sensible of the benefit to be derived from vaccination, and that the
strong prejudices which have hitherto opposed its general introduc-
tion will be removed.
The cholera had also made its appearance in the force encamped
in the neighbourhood of Bhooj .• but, by the last accounts, bad
nearly disappeared, though it still continued to prevail in the sur-
rounding villages
