not being satisfied, with some orders trespeaing the
cultivation of their vineyards, which had been re-
commended by the Resident for their benefit, had
remonstrated, which had been attended to by Mr.
PARR, and their request complied with; but before
the orders reached them, they, from the weakness
of the military force, on the night of the 23c1 De-
cember attacked the Government House, and mur-
dered Mr. ['Alta. We do not hear of any other
lives being lost, as they fled on the appearance of
the troops. The Company's possessions in India
are in perfe6t tranquillity.
