CALCUTTA PAPERS.
-....-

CALCUTTA, Nov. 10.—Our intelligence from the
interior of India speaks favourably of the general tran-
quillity of the country, and the satisfaction of the people
at living under a Government whose aim, as well as
whose interest, it fortunately is, to preserve to them the
blessings of abundance, security, and peace. There are
found here and there, however, refractory brigands, who
draw around themselves a set of desperate adventurers,
and seek, in resistance to established authorities, and in
plunder of the peaceable and industrious part of the po.
pulation, that gain which neither their virtues nor their
talents would procure for them in a regular and well.
ordered community.
The Beitool Valley and the whole of the Nagpore
country have been prin•ipally the scene of these late
revolts, and we have given
.the details of the operations
against the revolters there, as they have occurred from
time to time. The most stubborn and conrageous of the
enemies with whom our troops have had to contend,
were Arabs and Goands, and among the slain the first
have been always the most numerous,as being constantly
found the hottest of the fight.
Lieutenant Cruikshank has particularly distingnished
himself in these contests, and Lieut. Lane, of the 7th
Cavalry, has been so closely engaged as to have had two
horses shot tinder him within the last two months, be-
sides being wounded himself. By their small detach-
ment, a march of 40 miles was made, and two battles
fought within the space of 23 hours, and the troops bore
all with firmness and cheerfulness, though the roads
over which they marched were unusually bad.and they
tasted no food till the close of their gallant labours.
These roads no the territory of Nagpore are so bad, that
it is said only six camels survived out of 46 that were
employed fur a very limited period near the bank of
Nurbudda.

_
ilajcir Bowen, of the Madras army, has also distin.
gutshed himself in seseral gallant actions with these
Cmands and Arabs, and particularly in an affair against
Booardaee, where the rising of the stream in some nul-
lahs
having cut off his expected reinforcements, he
bravely dashed on with only ith) infantry, and drove fit e
timet that number out of the town before hint, 300 of
whom were afterwards cut tip by the cavalry.
Major Wilson has also earned his portion of military
reputation, by the taking of Pawnee, another strong
post, seated on the hanks of a river, about '25 miles to
the S. E. of Nagpore. The details of this gallant storm
are such as reflect the highest credit on the coulage and
skill of those engaged. The Mogul horse, who are
attached to Major Wilson's party, behaved also with
great bravery, and evinced, what the conduct of lhdian
tr ops has alvvays so conspicuously shrvvii. that good
leaders and brine chiatains are almost all that are
wanting to make diteiplined soldiers and courageous
men.
The last letters we hate. front Husseinahail are of the
date of the (oth of October, arid they diforni—us that
Sheikh Dolton, a celebrated Pitularee Chief, has made
his appearance in the Beitool Valley with a train of fol-
lowers, and that Appah Sahib himself was about to
make a otovetwot to the elstward.
The Madras troops, adds our correspondent, are tak-
ing fort after Post in the neighbourhood of Nagpore ;
and the Ex-Rajah's resources, he adds, are'so coin p!etely
exhausted, that be may soon be expected to effect au
escape Irom his own troops, and throw himself on the
mercy of the enemy whom he had so fruitlessly braved.

CALCUTTA, OCT. so.
Hossmoacao,— We have been favoured with
private letter from this quarter,which states, that though
the country is in a state of quiet at present, the revolting
disposition of the people is likely to furnish sufficient
occupation for the troops in the neighbourhood. Ap-
pah Sahib is said to be collectins Lis forces in all dint•

'ions, and several parties of his ailh-rents have secured
themselves on forts and strong holds at but a short dis 7
tante ftom Nagpore. A detachment of t-onps had goni
out against their, hut accounts of the success of their
operations had not reached. 'Major Bowen, of the Ma-
dras I.7.,tablislintent, had killed about 300 of the Goar.ils
and Arabs who were in the &into! Vallee, and stil
further skirmishes were likely to take place before per
manetit tsamptillitywould be restored.
POONAH —By recent letters from this Place, we learn,
that his 111.1 j. sty's li;th regiment of tout were on their
march from 13mishay to Scrorir,whielt adds ortlfirmation
to what we before stated, regarding the state of the late
Prishwa's territory, and the ner•essity that existed for
additional force being sent into il•at rphirter.
