" May B.—Lieat.- General Sir John Keane has received
the gracious commands of his Majesty Shah Shoojah-00l-
Moolk to convey to Major- General Wilshire, commanding
in the field, to the Generals and other officers and the non-
commissioned officers and soldiers who were present and
assisted at the splendid spectacle of the King taking pos-
session of his throne this day, the deep sense his Majesty
entertains of the obligations be owes to them and to the
British nation. The King added, that he would request
W. H. Macnaghten, Esq., envoy and minister at his
Majesty's court, to convey these his sentiments to the Right
Hon. Lord Auckland, Governor-General of.lndia. _

" By order of tboiLieut.-General Sir John Kedne, Com-
mander-in-chief of the army of the Indus.
(Signed) "R. MACDONALD, Lieut.-Colonel,
Military Sec. and Dep. Adj -Gen. H. M.
Forces, Bombay."

The following is the latest intelligence from the seat
of war, extracted from the DeMi Gazette of June 19 :
" Sir Willoughby Cotton is mentioned as having been
suffering from illness. From Quetta our letters do not
give much that is new ; and the f.rd brigade is not yet aware
of its destination, but it is mcst probable that it will march
on to Kelat, to bring the chief of that place to account for
his treachery, which has probably proceeded from inability
to contra' the actions of such a set of marauders as his sub-
jects appear t 5 be ; whether his conduct has proceeded from
villainy or weakness, he will, from all appearances, be disc.
placed.

" The army expected to move on towards Chinzi by the Ist
of June, and to reach Caubul early in July, is heartily sick
of Candahar, which yields nothing but doomba mutt*
doomba ghee, doomba dhie, and doomba cheese 1 His Ma-
jesty Shah Shoojah, and Mr. Macnaghten were residing in
the city of Candahar. The commissariat had made. ad-
vances for the crops (just ripening) on the ground, and
were in hopes of scraping together enough of grain to
last the troops and followers, on half rations, to Ghinci
and Cabul 1

" We learn from undoubted sources that Major Todd,
accompanied probably by some engineer and artillery
officers, was to proceed shortly on the mission to Herat;
the accounts from Lieutenant Pottiriggr at that place
reached to the 25th April, and showed the state of things
there to be favourable. There is no truth whatever in the
reports which have appeared in some of the Newspapers,
of a Persian force being at or on the road to Herat. At
Shikarpore, Mr. Ross Bell has assumed charge of the
political agency, and had arranged, in concert with Bri-
gadier Gordon, for an expedition to punish the Doorakee
tribe of Beloochees, whose stronghold was situated about
60 miles from Shikarpore, and who has been among the
most active in the marauding attacks on the baggage and
followers of the army."
(From the Bombay Courier.)
" Our news direct from Candahar reaches to 10th May,
at which date the Sirdars had not come in, and a detach-
ment under Brigadier Sale, consisting of 300 men
of her Majesty's 19th Light Infantry, 300 foot and
100 Horse of the Shah's contingent, a squadron of
our cavalry, 16th Regiment, the whole of the sap-
pers and miners, with 250 country bildars, the camel bat-
tery, with two nine and one twenty-four pounders from the
park, and one five-inch mortar, were to march, on the
following morning, to the attack of Girrishk, seven
marches from the camp. Koordil Khan is in the fort,
which is situated on a hill in a plain, and the river Helmund
within two miles of it, seven feet and a half of water, from
which the ditch of the fort is supplied. Koordil Khan is
said to have from 4,000 to 5,000 men with him. Nine
days had been given the chiefs to surrender themselves
voluntarily.
" Everything at Candahar is said to be quiet, and the
Affghans have taken a great liking to the British. They
were perfectly astonished at our troops ; still it was not the
numbers that attracted their notice so much as the equip.
ment ; nothing could equal it.
" All our correspondents agree in their descriptions of
the wretched appearance of the town if Candahar ; the
only building recommending it to the notice of travellers
being the tomb of Ahmed Shah. It is, however, sur-
rounded with a high wall and bastions, is well populated,
and provisions are in abundance..
" Of Dost Mahommed nothing has bzen heard.
" It was thought our, troops would remain at Candahat
till the end of the month, on account of the harvest.
" Otte 11, barley two seers per rupee, and the troops
still on half rations, the siawks continue to be much ob.
strutted."

LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA.

By the arrival of the packet ship, Independence, at
Liverpool, in nineteen days from New York, we have re-
ceived American papers to the Bth inst., inclusive—being
seven days later than the last arrivals. All the political,
commercial, and local news they bring of any interest, will
be found among the subjoined extracts :
IMPORTANT FROM THE INDIAN COUNTRY.

The St. Louis Republican publishes an extract of a
letter received in that city, from a gentleman residing at
Fort Snelling, dated July 10, by which we learn that war
has broken out between the Sioux arid Cbippeway tribes 01
Indians, and that great slaughter has beep made of the
latter.

A large number of the Chippeway tribe had assembled
at Fort Snelling to receive their annuities, and the events
which followed, related below, occurred a few days prior
to the date of the lett,r. The extract says :
_

The Sioux and Chippeways have had-a
brush at two
different-points on the St. Croix, and again about 30 miles
above the Falls of St. Anthony. The Chippeways, just
before leaving the pillagers, I believe. bad killed, at Lake
Calhoun, a Sioux Brave, one much liked and esteemed by
his tribe, and took his scalp; an hour or two after sunrise,
the news having spread like wildfire, the Sioux, about 200
strong, left the falls ( St. Anthony) Hale-in-the-day, a
Chippeway chief, had pushed on with his party, and was
not overtaken. The Sioux who left the falls came across
a party of the Rum River band, attacked !hem about sun-
rise the next morning, and killed 133 man, women, and
children. This was above the falls. Big 'Thunder, a
Sioux chief, crossed the country in pursuit of the Strong
Ground band of Chippeways, and overtook them at St.
Croix. Big Thunder told the Sioux not to fire where the
whites were (Messrs. Aitkins and INl.Lcod's part)), and,
as the Chippeway, huddled round the whites, many of them
thus escaped. Notwithstanding the Sioux killed thirty-
six of the Chippeway party, and some women and chfftlren.
The country is in great excitement, and will continue su
for sonic time. There will, no doubt, be a general en-
gagement between the Sioux and the Chippeways bcforre
I manv months more. Hale-in-the-day is a chief not to be
trifled with, and the Sioux are consolidating under Bad
Hall, a first-rate warrior who has been to Washington.

THE CANADAS.
(From the New York papers.
General Scott arrived at Buffalo on Sunday last. He
awaits there the arrival of Mr. Poinsctt, the Secretary of
War; when the two are to consult and make arrangements i
for the preservation of peace on the Canadian frontier.
At some part of the frontier line they are to meet the Pre-
sident and the Secretary of State, when their tour will be
continued, and such steps taken as will ensure quiet on
the frontier for evermore. Mr. Clay will also go down
the line, and go to Quebec, and make himself thoroughly
acquainted with the state cf affairs in Canada and on our
frontier.
Eleven prisoners taken at W:ndmill-point, last fall,
have received a full pardon from the Lieutenant-Governor
of the upper province.
It is the general impression that all of the prisoners at
the Fort, at Kingston, to the number of 70, will soon be set
at liberty, provided no disturbance occurs in the mean
time on the frontier.
UPPER CANADA POLITICS.
A great meeting of the freeholders and other inhabitants
of the county of Halton, Upper Callan, in favour of a re-
sponsible Government, as recommended by Lord Durham.
was held at Dundos last Friday. Seven resolutions were
unanimously adopted, to the effect that the Report of Lord
Durham had been received by an overwhelming majority
of the people of Upper Canada with the most abundant
gratification, and that if its recommendations are carried
out, that colony may yet attain a high degree of prosperity
and happiness ; that a responsible Government is the only
means of restoring confidence, and perpetuating the con•
nection between the colony and mother country ; that the
[louse of Assembly, in continuing its existence in spite of
the demise of the Crown, had infringed the right of con-
stituency, and that the Lieutenant-Governor be requested
to dissolve it forthwith ; and that they would support no
candidates but such as would declare themselves favouratlite
to the principles of Lord
.Durham's Report. -
The feelings expressed in these resolutions are very ge-
neral throughout the province, and at the next election
Lord Durham's Report is ill he the rallying cry.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE AT COBURG.

We some time since noticed an outrage committed at
Coburg by certain inhabitants of that place against an as,
semblage of Reformers.
We now learn from Captain Gaskin, of the steamboat
Hamilton, that on Sunday night last a party of some 50 or
100 men, heavily armed, were landed from a steamer a few
miles below Coburg, and had marched up to near the vil-
lage, when they were met by a party who bad heard of their
approach, attacked, and driven back : six of their number
having been taken prisoners.
Since the above was written we have been favoured with
the following extract of a letter from a gentleman in Co-
burg to a friend in this city, datcd

Coburg,andJul Luke's
e have got a er-
and father-in-law, al so
iTnhiew had laid a plot to murder the lioultons and R.

Henry, and
of the name

If they are not hanged they will be Lynched. If they
had committed the murders intended, I would mot havo
liven three cents for the hides of all the Americans in
Coburg."
