INDIA.
--..5.--

resides the late suspicious movements of Scindea4ao
on the side of the Rajah of Berar, it is stated in the latest
pliers from India, that the Itajah of Typoor pos.sessed,
time of the late dispatches, but a mere nominal
anti:Li-4 over the extensive domains so long held by his
nacient race; and that, with the exception of a few miles
around the city, the whole country bad submitted to the
4.,overnment of Ameer Khan, an adventurer, who had tiff
I.eyeral years rendered himself extremely trpublesome in
that quarter.
The aflitirs of Holkar's government were in a state of
more than usual distraction, and the army of that Chief-
tain, though somewhat reduced in number, was yet in a
mutinous condition, on account of the great arrears of pay.
No one in the State seemed to have consequence sufficient
to repress their tumultuous proceedings, nor a strong hand
or pecuniary means enough to satisfy them in their de-

minds.
Burs Ram Holkar, a near relation to the head of the
preient family, died on the 18th of November last, tbr
whose death the Court went into mourning.
Runjeet Sing still meditated an invasion of the King-
tiom of Cashmeer.
The investiture of the new Knights Commanders of the
Bath, by the Govenor-General, took place at Calcutta the
beginning of November ; when Lieutenant-General J.
Nlacdonald, and Major Generals R. Blair and J. Hors-
fiwd received that honourable distinction from the hands
of Earl Moira, who addressed the Knights Commander-
in the following animated speech :
" SIR KNIGHTS—A commission more gratifying could hardly
have been iutrustedto me, than that with which the Prince Re-
sent has deigned to honour me on this occasion.
" Justly flattered as you must individually be to have your
meritorious devotion to the public service thus recognized, I am
sure I shall raise your sensations still higher, by connecting this
distinction with the gallant army to which you belong. How-
soever each of you amply deserved this mark of royal favour, I am
to look upon it simply personal. Indeed, you yourselves would
wish to share the boast 'with your brave companions in arms. I
am to regard the extension of this honour to, the officers of the
Eastlndia Company's troops, as I knsw the gracious disposition
of the Prince Regent intended it, as manitesting a due appre-
ciation of the splendid achievements of those forces. It is an ac-
knowledgement how much the company's army, in raising the
proud arch of this vast dominion, has added to the trophies of
our conutry's glory. It is a generous tribute not only to the
valor of the existing army, but to the memory of those elevated
spirits, all of whom by their effort?, and ninny of whom at the
IA pence of their lives, have thus advanced the interests of the
British Empire.
"The attention shown in this instance to the Company's Of-
ficers, is wisely calculated to 41111 W British feelings still more
close. But while our self-complacency is soothed, let us not
forget the obligations attached to the circumstance. This proof
that the eyes of our SON ertign are upon us, ought at once to be
Xin excitement and a cheering contemplation under those ever-
limp which must be unremitting on the part of every function-
ary, civil or military, in this country ; for, as nothing but extra-
ordinary energy could have acpared these territories, nothing
but the unrclaxed operation of the same principle can retain
them.'•
