FROM THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE, JUNE 15, 1815.

Our letters from the northwest divisions of the army are
chiefly occupied in detailing the interesting ceremonies of
the evacuation of Malown and Jvtuk, by the two illustrious
Goorkha leaders. Umr Sing had commenced his march to
the south-east, and would be joined by his son at some inter-
mediate post between Ramghur and Nahun. The former was
escorted by a subaltern officer, and a company of the 2d
battalion 6th regiment native infantry. It was understood
that he would likewise be accompanied to Kumaoon by Lieut.
Murray, the officer in command of the irregulars. With
the exceptions of the 2d battalion Ist regiment native in-
fantry, and battalion 6th regiment native infantry, left to
garrison the posts lately surrendered by the enemy, the corps
composing General Ochterlony's division, had, previously to
the 20th ultimo, broken tip. and commenced their return to
their respective can ton inercs. It is scarcely to be wondered,
i that the officers universally exp. their joy at the cotnple-
dot) of a service, the extreme hardships and privati,)ns of
which could only have been repaid by the brilliancy of its
termination. A few companies were engaged in withdraw-
ing the guns and stores from the positions recently occupied
by the troop: of the division. Front the untoward nature of
the gr,,und, this was an operation of great difficul•v Maiown
itself is rept esented as being a miserable hole, sin dl and fil-
thy ; having only a scanty supply of stinking water.

were fired from the fort and Chepauk palace, in honour of
the success of the British arms, under Major-General Och-

the British authority. The Right Hon. the Govern •r-G(.
neral gave a grand military dinner on Tuesday to his Excel-
. lencv the Commander in Chief, on-his return from the camp;
and on Thursday his Excellency gave a party at the Arneer
Bang, which was attended by a numerous circle of the rank
and beauty of Madras.

Extract of a letter from Hajjee, in the Budraj Mountains,
dated Sd Mar, in latitude 30. 45. N. :
" This is a charming country in point of climate and prod•
pects, but the roads, which so much concern a traveller, are
execrable. Horses are of no use, and we must trudge it on
foot. The weather, however, still continues favourable for
this method of locomotion, hitherto so little familiar to the
Indians. But the sudden transition from the hears below to
the chilly air above, is often attended with dreadful conse-
quences ; and the greatest care is necessary to avoid the
terrible colds that are thereby caught. We are bete sur-
rounded with rich cultivation ; and every production of the
plains, with a vast variety besides, flow ishes in perfection;
raspberries, cranberries, peaches, and apricots, wild anti cul-
tivated, abound. The inhabitants are remarkah!v neat in
their habitations, and as remarkably filthy in their persons.
The women have three, and sometines font husbands ; and
