The garrisott held nut a flag of truce on the 7111
instant, and, after three days of negotiation, were
allowed honourable terms viz. to march out with
their arms and private property; which they accord-
ingly did, and Lieut.-Colonel Prother took posses-
sion of the fort, in which he found the wife of his
flightless the late Prishwa, end poblic property to
the amount of five lac* of rupees. We Understand
that her Royal highness will be perMitted to retire
to any place she may fix upon. We have not yet
received the full detail of particnlant ost• this success-
ful accomplishment of the arduous services in which
this gallant Commanding-Officer has been employed
during the present campaign. By the kindness of
a friend, we have been favoured with the following
extracts of lane,s from the Deccan
Little has been said of the excessive exertions of the
fume under General Smith. It will searesty be audited that
it has marched nearly 3,000 miles within the last far months,
and that its 'Sammy is.eow greeter, if possiblesiban when
It first left entwinement,. The troops, notwithstanding their
great fatigues, and sometimes privations, ate in the Guest
spirits and order ; the cheerfulness with which they here
horse their incessant labour gives them every claim to sp.
please and future istiolgesce. It would perhaps sot be too
meek to assert, that, he a amtionatioo, mother an equal
in ladis the march of the Light Division under General
Smith ; and ettasiderieg iti perfectly effective state under
such circumstances the highest degree of praise is dee to
the Commander who cusses such as important object in the
most trying situatioor, and in spite of the many obstacles he
has hod to soamostot."

From another quarter we learn, that the Peons
auxiliary horse, ender Lieutenant-Colonel Cun-
ningham, and the reformed horse, under Captain
Davies, have left camp upon some secret expedi-
tion. There is little doubt that either of these gal-
lant officer► will give an admirable account of any
part of Bsjee Howvs army they may be fortunate
enough to fall in with. Previously to the depar-
ture of these useful and meritorious troops, Brigs.
dior-Getters).Sotith was pleased so express his opi-
nion of them in orders, an extract from which we-
have fortunately obtained :

KXTRACT OF.DZTACHNIENT ORDICIU BY
01111BRAL MITI, 3d MAY.

"The seriliary and reformed horse will march to-morrow
wonting, agreeably to iaatructioas the Commanding Oileers
will receive from head-quarters.
"The Brigadier-General lakes this opportunity of thank-
Col. Cosimingbaut and Captaia Davies, mod their officers,
fur their exertioas and attentions in sapporting and 'afore-
iag his orders, against the scandalous and oppreedire prac-
tice of miring forage, which is in fact a cloak for every other
species of robbery and plumage. The complaints against
these troops, turaccusionted as they have been to the whole-
some restraints of discipline, have been very trilling, and
were always anxiously remedied by t►eir olkers se coon
knows, mid w►ich reflects the highest credit on t►eir officers
for the regard they pay to orders, and the hooourable desire
they bare ebewn to protect the luhabitents from injustice and
rubbery."

We can afford no better evidence of the judg.
meat which dictated the arrangements made by
Brigndier-Genend Smith for the purpose of inter-
cepting Nee Row (alluded to in the above pri.
rate information.) than the communication which
we have now the satisfaction to make of the sub-
mission of his Highness Chimunajee Appa, and or
Appals Dessay, of Nepaune. It fell to the imme-
diate lot of Captain Davies. of the Nikons's Re-
formed Horse, to receive the submission of those
Chiefs: Unit gallant officer having come in sight of
the hoops of Nepaunker, to the number of about
9,000 horse. stationed on a rising ground immedi-
ately formed awl advanced to charge the enemy;
but on approaching within 400 yards. a flog of
truce was sent out with offers or surrender. We
hear nothing of Bajee Row, but a report is current
of the death of Trembuckjee Doinglia, the conse-
quence of a fever which attacked Mud terminated
his existence, it is said, in Candeish, a short time
since. , •

Another private account, dated the 7th May,
camp ut JeMini, mentions that
" A spy came into us at Beer front' Nepaunker's camp;
he was on the lionlavery, and proceediag southward; we
marched at lea o'clock on the mooting of the 7th *hit •
view of intercepting him. After getting over about thirty
miles, we came in fall view of his his of march. As we
approached his left flank he formed oa a rising ground. A
river lay between us, after crossing which we also funned
lire, and advanced in beautiful order, till nearly within
charging distance ; at this critical moment a Bag of truce
advanced from the enemy, anal Captain Davies returned trills
it to meet Nepauuker : be submitted to She terms unposed.
Chimnajee !too Appa, Bajee Ilso's youngest brother, win
with him. The terms granted llsein are, that they shall
with their whole force accompany us to Aliniednagger, sod
there await the pleasure of Mr. Elphinstone.
" They have loudly 3,000 NMI. I neikir saw one risen to
an much advantage : we had oboist 1,200 men in the geld,
who were is the highest spirits, and advanced in beautiful
order; in two minutes mote the charge would have been
gives, and in half an hour we should literally have eat them
lis pieces. I ninth doubled whether the enemy, eves under
Nepausiker, would have slued one !barge.

" Although ere bail ant as agportirmity of using oar
amber., the above affair doses a harassing mirapair ; fur
Nepamiker is, I believe, reckoned the lest elector in the
Pools State. It is Dahl in Nepanoker's clings that Trim-
bitekjee is positively dead, awl that Wier Ruw is at Boor-
impure, a here he will remain till he receives a reply tom
refieence ni.sJe to Mr. Elphinstoor."
