INDIA.

ON THE BRITISH DoMINION IY THE EAST-IN-
DIES, AND THE PREsENT STATE OF THAT
CuUNTRY.

[Cnnelud•d fmm our Parer of Eeiterday.)

How soon, amid the general fermentation, may
not such a critical moment again supervene! And,
should France be able to avail herself of it, and to
Bend a considerable body of troops to join the forces
of the valiant Nlahrattis, the vast peninsula on this
side the Ganges, which a century ago was subjeel
to the Great Mogul, may, perhaps, throw off the
yoke of the English more speedily than it was
subjeCted by them. The fortune of its inhabit-
ants would not indeed be improved, if, taking
advantage of the moment of confusion, the French
were to succeed in establishing their dominion ;
and the situation t.f the country, instead of being
ameliorated, would be made worse. But the proud
edifice, elected be tile Governors Clive, Hastings,
Cornwallis, and Wellesley, is menaced from another
quarter. The decline of discipline, the luxury of
the East, the prodigious accumulation of riche,.
and the want of patriotism in the new English Na-
bobs in the East Indies, have already loosened the
ties with the Mother Country ; and a continued to-
leration of the present system of oppression and ex-
tortion affsrds abundant reason to apprehend an
internal insurreetion, independent of all exterior co-
operation, if the advancing evil be not speedily
checked. Thus, this ever-memorable Colossus,
unparalleled in the history of colonies, totters on
various sides. Instead, however, of increasing its
internal strength, the English still continue to add
to the extent of their power in the East Indies.

Since the destruetion of the Empire of Mysore,
once so formidable to the East India Company,
only one nation has ventured to dispute with the
EngUsh the exclusive possession of the beautiful
peninsula on this side the Ganges. The Mahrattas
are slistinguisl,ed arrring the inhabitants of Hither
India for this erraordinary preservation of their
freedom, and attraa the attention of the lover of
history, whose investigations, nevertheless, encoun-
ter considerable obstacles in the obscurity of their
origin.

T'ne Mahrattas, or more properly Maharattors,
that is, the Great Rattors, belong to the warlike
tribe of the Rasbitts, which hold the second rank
among the casts of India, and form a species of no-
bility. For ages their name was utterly unknown.
Driven by the Moguls from the provinces of Hin-
dustan, in which they had nettled, they sought an
asylum in the mountains extending from Surat to
the latitude of Goa, and there established several
petty States, which, though at first independent of
each other, were, in process of time, united into
one state. Their chief re,ided at Sattarah. The
generality of the nation employed themselves in
agriculture, the breeding of cattle, and partly in
manufaaures, while those, for whom these peaceful
occupations had no charms, exercised the business
of plunder. Tbis inclination to support themselves
by depredation became epidemic. It soon seized
the whole nation of these mountaineers, and in the
seventeenth century the Mahrattas appeared to be
nothing but a horde of banditti, who subsisted by
plundering the rich commercial caravans.
l'hey, however, confined themselves to these petty
enterprices, till the celebrated conqueror, Auringzeb,
attempted to compel the Hineloos to embrace the
Mohammedan religion, and the latter called to their
assistance the filabiAttaii, who now became acquaint-
ed with their strength. This epoch opened to them
a new field. They were seen pouring like torrents
from the mountains, nn diminutive horses, but
which were robust, indefatigable, sure-footed in the
worst roads, and accustomed on a march to subsist
only on the grass which their riders cut dawn for
them by the ..vay. A turban, a girdle which con-
cealed their nakedness, a wretched cloak, which
hung over their shiitilders by day, and at night
served them for a bed, were the only cloathing of
these h .rsernen.

'Their provisions consisted of a small bag of rice,
and a leathern bottle filled with water. They had
no other weapons than a sabre, but which had such
an excellent edge, that, in comparison to them the
European sabres, according to the expression of
the Malirattas, were 1. fit for nothing but to cut
butter.'

These wild hordes were united by the Rajah Se-
vngi, a cruel, faithless man, of the tribe of the Bons
wino, who appeared to have been destined by na-
ture to become one of the most LF inguished of
free-botters. Fortune favoured him ; he mtin:ained
himself against the immense power of Auringzeb,
which was unable to molest him is the mount tins,
became one of the most considerable flames of In-
dia, and Insnded iu Kunkan, along the coast tow-
ard Bombay, and in the interior mountainous re-
gions. an extensive kingdom, which, at his death,
t•• ttiSO, hr -‘1 to his descendants. •

in the s, clue', with the
but ti:e Mahtattas tun-

or
tinued to extend themselves, and at length bacilli*
so formidable, as to overthrow the dominion of eh*

Great Mogul. They are now the only natiatic
ble of making head against the English, in the
insula of Hither India, and they would be still x
dangerous to the colossal empire of Britain it
East Indies, were their political constitution susc

hie of a more intinute union. But their

which would be extremely formidable in the had

of one chieftain ruling over the destinies of 400,000
warriors, is divided among several princes. With
respell to its internal organisation, the state of the
Alabrattas has, therefore, been compared to the Ger-
man empire. The parallel, however, is not perfedly
corred, because the Peishwah, who resides at
Poonah, possesses no right of sovereignty, and is,
in fad, only the first officer of state in the whole
confederacy. The extent of the territories of the
Nlahrattas, which cennoi be stated with accuracy.
is computed at 34,000 geographical square miles ;
and the revenues of the different Princes, cellettive-
ly, are supposed to exceed 120 millions of rupees.
Among these M.tbratta Princes, the English have
not a more dangerous enemy than Jeswunt Row
Holkar, who, notwithstanding the frequent checks
he has experienced, has, hitherto, always appeared
again on the field of battle with renovated strength.
He is originally an usurper, and of a rigid, cruel dis-
position; but, at the same time, very adive, vigilant,
dextrous, and crafty. Since his last war with Scin-
deah, and the troubles which have broken out in his
own family, he has lost the greatest portion of his
revenues, that amounted, at least, to eighty lacks
of rupees. He now receives from his own states
scarcely ten, but he knows how to increase them by
extorting contributions from such distrkis as he
can surprise ; he is almost always engaged is war,
only to obtain money, and is insatiably avaricious.
His camp is his residence, and his troops are the
sources of his revenue. Holkar is now the only
sovereign in India, capable of opposing any resist-
ance to the English : he may be conquered, and his
power annihilated, but he will never suffer himself
to be overreached by them. The English are well
acquainted with his charaeter, and, accordingly.
they have never been willing to acknowledge him
as a sovereign, but have always treated him as a
robber. Their object in the war which they are at
present waging with him appears to be to expel him
from the East Indies, and to set up the weak Radji
Rao in his stead, by which their dominion over all
India would be firmly consolidated. But the English
can never consider themselves the quiet possessors of
these vast colonies, as long as Holkar and Amp
Khan are in existence.

Amyr Khan, the most upright and confidential of
Holkar's officers, is an interesting phenomenon, on
account of his military talents, the pnrity of his
morals, and his influence over Holkar. Ile is un-
commonly brave, magnanimous, and liberal to rn-
fusion, and all his undertakings ale impressed with
the charaier of greatness. A Pau' corps, which
is sometimes considerable, is under the command of
Amyr Khan, and it is he who appears to dire& the
military operations of Holkar. Ile has distinguish-
ed himself in many battles, and has been seen, at va-
rious times, to over-run different parts of India as a
fri ebooter. He seems to be particularly attached to
this method of making war, which he perfeely
derstands : he always arrives secretly and unexped-
edly in the midst of the countries he intends to ra-
vage. He has, hitherto, never been compelled to
fight a battle, the issue of which was at all doubt-
ful. In the present war, he advanced from the
shores of the Diemna to observe the motions of
Lieutenant-Colonel Monson. and availed himself
with such dexterity of the moment to attack him,
that he compelled that Officer to retreat nearly
500 miles; a success which is almost entirely to
be ascribed to Amyr Khan. He is more solicitous
to obtain glory than wealth gold has no charms
for him, and his liberality often reduces him to
such a situation, that he is obliged to have recourse
to the purse of his friends. He loves Europeans, but
they would not find their account with him, if they
were intent only on colleding rupees. The fullest
confidence may he placed in his word, which he
has maintained, even under very critical circum-
stances, against the express will of Holkar. He has
preserved the ljves of European prisoners, whom
the latter had ordered to be dispatched. On another
occasion, a neighbouring sovereign repaired, pro-
teded only by his word, to this Mahratta Chief.
The latter afterwards resolved to detain him; but
Amyr Khan opposed his design with such spirit, de-
claring that the moment he committed such a vin.
lotion of confidence. he himself would be Holkar's
enemy, that the latter suffered the Indian Pi ince to
depart.
These charaeters of the two remaikable oppo-
nents of the English in the East Indies, are taken
fr..m the Monisrur, which, by the communication

of several English official dispatches, %%Inch fell
into the hinds of Rear-Admiral Linois, has diffused
a new light on the rate of this beautiful peninsula,
so till, side the Ganges. A statement. of the results

dew intelligence, contained in the intercepted let-.
tees, will not be unacceptable here, as all that the
English Government thinks proper to communi-
cate, relative to the East Indies, ought to be re-
gal ded with as much suspicion as, in former times,
the Roman accounts of the war with Carthage.
History can no more credit the statement of one
party than the judge : the tribunals of both are sub-
ject to the same laws.
According to the abovementioned dispatches, the
finances of the East India Company would sink
to a very low ebb, if the war with the Mahrattas
were to continue for three years longer. The very
successes of the English arms are rather detrimental
than advantageous, as none of the late acquisitions
is sufficiently productive to defray the eapeness it
has occasioned ; and the extension of their conquests
already begins to emb• - the Governor-General.
Ihe Company has, in p aticular, hurt the feelings
of the natives by the disgraceful treatment of the
Nlogul Emperor. This Prince is descended from
the celebrated family of Timor, which is venerated
all over the East ; and though his power is but a
mere shadow, his sovereignty is, however, univer-
sally acknowledged. The English Company itself
is indebted to his beneficence for its constitutional
dominion. Shah Ahlum, as the great grandson of
Aurinweb, anl as a dipta descendant of Tamer-
lane, has an indisputable right to the Mogul throne.
The Company likewise owes him 20 millions ster-
ling ; a sum far exceeding the amount of its dispos-
able capital.

In the hands of the Mahrattas the Great Mogul
was not a dangerous instrument ; but the progress of
the French pat ty, which was forming in I lindostan,
had given a new turn to his situation, and this unfor-
tunate Prince might very essentially have promoted
the designs of the French government. The objet
of the latter, after ►he conclusion of the peace of
Amiens, was nothing less than to found a political
and military state on the ba-is of their Indian pos-
sessions, and to strengthen and extend it by every
possible conneltion with the native princes, by in-
tt igues, and all the means of a systematic spirit of
plunder. The introduction of French adventurers
into the Indian armies for the purpose of improving
their discipline, gave the French author ity and influ-
ence over those states. and realised, in the best and
earliest manner, the design of founding an inde-
pendent territorial and military power in the midst
of a foreign state.
Every one, who is acquainted with the real state
of the British power in the East Indies, must know
that the Northwestern frontier of Hindostan is the
weakest point of that prodigious Empire. If the
power of Dowlot Row Scindeah were to receive
any considerable addition, or to be immediately
united with a French force, the natural situation of
his country would give hirn great advantages in any
attack on the settlements of the Company. A con-
siderable part of this territory was ceded to a French
officer, named Perron, who succeeded M. Deboigne
in the command of the regular infantry of Scindeah.
Perron made it an independent state, whose armed
force amounted to 39,050 men. He obtained the
sovereign power over a distriCt, whose annual
revenue arrrAinted to nearly two millions sterling ;
and, in his own name. concluded treaties and alli-
ances with several small states. Thus the concur-
rence of various extraordinary and irrevocable cir-
cumstances, the imbecility of the personal charac-
ter of Scindeah, the rapacity of his Ministers, the
treachery of many of his Generals and officers, who
found it their interest to draw of his attention from
the affair of Hindostan. to those of Decan, and the
late convulsion of his power by Holkar, contributed
to the formation of an independent French state in
the point adjoining to the weakest frontier of the
Company's possessions.

England averted, by a successful war, the blow
that menaced her dominion in the East-Indies. 1 he
energies and the resources of Scindeah, and the
Rajah of Berar, were circumscribed within narrow
limits ; the dangerous French establishment under
Perron was annihilated, and the territory belong-
ing to him was united with the British possessions ;
the Emperor. Shah Alum, was snatched from the
influence of France, and the acquisition of the port
of Baroach, and other harbours of Scindeah, which
opened to him and his French General a communi-
cation with France, and afforded the French an
easy entrance into the Mahratta states, sealed the
security which these military operations gave to the
proud colonial edifice of the English.
Scarcely had this cloud passed .sway, when a new
storm obscured this quarter of the horizon. The
above-mentioned Mahratta Prince, Jeswunt Row
Holkar, at the head of 100,000 men, supported by
an artillery, under the direetion of French Officers,
declared war against the English, who 'bought it
would be no difficult task to overcome and espel
him. tie commenced operations in the manner of
the Mahrattas, who never seek to obtain a firm foot-
ing, hut endeavour, by the swiftness of their caval
rv, to surprise, to fatigue, and to harrass their ene-
my, on his march. Success crowned 1 folk is en-

LONDON,
FRIDAY, AtiousT 43.

An overland dispatch from India was yesterday
received at the India House. The letters and p.i-
pers of the latest date which it has brou.lht are cf
the ‘:.l April, from Madras, and of the 18:1), from
Bombay. They do not contain any new intelli-
gence from the grand army, nor do tl,e) conarra
the report in circulation yesterday of the conclusim
of a peace with HOCK AR. This report was probably
grounded upon the sarguine expetations expressed
in some of the private letters recently received frees
the Marquis WELLESLEY. The reduSion of B!surt•
pore is, no doubt, an event upon which we may
presume ; but even though it were accomplished. it
would not necessarily ioduce a peace wish Ho;.Kre.
