We have had within the last few days to record
two triumphs of the British anns in India, termi-
nating in the capture of Poona's, the capital of
the PIIIIIIVA'S territories. In a military point of
view the victories appear, from
yet trampired, to have been extremely flattering
to our national character, for a British force of not
more than 5,000 men, including, we may suppose,
• large proportion of native troops. defeated the
hostile army, amounting to 40,000 men. but
there are other censidenitions of • political nature
also associated with these events, which are calcu-
lated to diminish in some degree the joy we Meet
ever experience iu recording the military glories of
our country. A very short period has elapsed since
the alarm was spread here of an extensive confe-
deracy between the native Princes for reducing
the British power in the peninsula of Inds.
The confederates were said to have overspread
a very large portion of the territories belong
ing to the Company, and to h eve interrupted
the communication by land between the dif-
ferent Presidencies. The activity of the Go-
ventor.Getieral had been, however, exemplary ; it
had succeeded in restoring an apparent tranquil-
lity, and we had been assured. that, by the firm-
ness of Mr. Etenteszon a, the British Resident at
Parnell, the person of the PSISHWA had fallen
into our power ; that he had admitted a British
force into his capital, end had surrendered fou► of
hi. strongest forts, as the assurance of his fidelity.
lt, however, now appears that his sulnuission was
feigned, and that he had drawn together an army
of 40,000 men to support his insertion of inde-
pendence. Of coune, some time may be ex-
pected to elapse before the public will be apprized
of all the circumstances of this event. or he en.

rendered absolutely trecessery by the system per-
sued in that devoted country. It is distressing to
skink that the British Asiatic possessions have no
other solidity than what they can obtain from the
constant exercise of military power, and that the
continuance of our empire is to be marked by an
endless train of conspiracies and battles. followed
by proscriptious, confiscations, and storming. of
eltirt. From such au empire, what can we hope to
reap !resides the barren laurels of bloody and ex-
pensive victories? And yet even our victories, by
cresting an amity of interests among the divided
and scattered powers of girdle, will increase
the difficulties of our situation. It is a humi-
liating feet, that when British merchants resorted
to India solely in their mercantile character, with-
out possessing one foot of territory, the trade was
in the highest degree profitable to themselves, mid
useful to their country; while now. that they
have acquired the rights of sovereignty over an enor-
mous empire. and have perverted the interests of
that empire to purposes of patronage and the pro-
motion of individual wealth, the profits of the trade
and the revenues of the country ere hardly sufficient
tss defray the expenses of the Company's service.
This cunsideratiou, among a commercial and eel.

should at least induce them to respect the pre&
