BOMBAY COURIER, APRIL 11.

By private accounts, dated Camp Ougein, 29th
March. we are informed, that Cheetoo, after going
to Bopaul to make conditions with Capt. Headley
for delivering himself up, suddenly fled, and hus,
it is reported, guile back to his old haunts near
Baglee and Ragonglour ; in conseopience of which
the force at Ougein was to march that day towards
!adore, and send out • detachment after him ; the
battalion at Mocha would also furnish a detachment
towards Ooonchode. The letter further stales, that
the troops of Jean Baptiste having mutinied and
deposed that leader, had elected Arratuoio, the
Armenian, in his stead. We are happy to learn
from the mime source, that every thing was per.
fectly quiet to Alulwa.
Reports say that Doke Row's Chiefs are daily re-
tiring with their followers : some time ago his army
was mud to consist of only 25.000 men, and we
have reason to suppose that it dues toot consist of
half that number at present.
Out of the 365 strong holds, that by the native
accounts are in ate Decker. we may already reckon
50 of them in our possession, and calculate that
when other 50 surrender, we mat• cull the whale our
own : such is the ouinerical exaggeration of our
!hoodoo friends.
