A severe action is stated to have been fought,
between the troops of Scindea, under the com-
mand of .114,,g00 liapoo, on the One ;part, and the
people of Vizier.. Mahommed Khan the Rajah of
.13Opaltal, aided by Durieon Sal and his
,followers,.
on the other. The reso is not mentioned ; but
the aggregate loss .of both parties is estimated at
100 men killed, besides Wounded..
We learn by the ukhliars (newspapers), that
the, wife of Scindea h►ad died after a few days ill-
; and that he had also lost a son, a child eight
months old, by the smallpox. -
One of the widows of the late, :feswurit,Rao

EXTRACT or A LETTER FROM Dr:LITT.

" July 3, 1814.

" The whole of the Pioneers under Captain
Swinton, are on their march to this place from
Kurnaul, for the purpose of proceeding from hence
with. the battering train,_ to join. 'the detachment
now about to take the field at ReNi,arree, under
Colonel Prole.' The 2d battAtion of the 6th Nit.:
tive Infantry; and four troops of the 4th Native
Cavalry, are also expected to march from hence
on-the 7th current, for the 'purpose of forming a
reserve. Col. Prole's force will consist of the 2d
bit. Ist. regt. Ist bat. 19th regt. 2d hat. 27th reg.
second regiment of cavalry, Skinner's horse and
a company and a half of artillery. There will,
moreover, be about three companies of pioneers,
all the miners, and three engineer officers.. The
train is to consist of ii eighteen pounders, 2.mor-
tars, and 2 hnWitzers, besides the battalion field-
pieces. We go from Rewarree towards Kanoun,
and thence in a westerly direction to Atcheroo,
which is the first place we are to attack. Thence
we proceed against Busao, a small fortress in the
Desert, belonging to Sham Sing, who is at the
head of klarge gang of de who rob, and
pliinder the whOle country there., It is not ex-
pected, that we shall have much to do.; how-
evr.r, it is politic to be prepared for the worst.—
We shall be badly off for water and forage ; and
great expense has been incurred in furnishing ex-
tr;.! puckhalies, and a supply of grain, for the de-
tachment.

" This is an i►itmense city, but the streets arc
narrow and shockingly dirty.' Though not above
two,thirdi of the place is inhabited, I look upon
it, that the pop►►lation is considerably above a
million, Some of the mosques .are very gran►{,
and delicately beautif►►l in their ‘vorkmanship.-,--
Ali other public haildiUgs are suffered to go to
decay, except the palace, which is slowly under-
going repair."

EIITY 0 THE PitESS.

LORD AND LADY PERCEVAL PHIPPS.

This being Seal day, the LORD CHANCELLOR
sat till two o'clock, and then rose, soon after
which his Honour the lice-CuANoELLoa enter-
ed, and del vered his judgment absOlute in this
cause, after fully stating the grounds of his judg-
ment more in detail than he should feel himself
called upon to do, owing to the great importance
of the question at issue in the-cause, as well as
the great novelty of the injunction issued by the
Lord Chancellor: The .several ~;eoinids alleged
in,support of, the injunction, did not appear-to
be sufficient to justify hint in continuing it. There
was no ground .for supposin,r•that these letters
were literary property, which alone. gives this
Court jurisdiction in such cases; but, ,even sup-
posing they were literary property, it was clear,
in his opinion, that they nolV became the property
of the defendant, for the purpose he stated in his
answer ; as otherwise not only his feelings, but
his reputation and property might be ruined, un-
der the charge preferred against him of publishing
fabricated correspondence, and being implicated in
the crime of fabricating, forgeries on the public
respecting a great subject and a Itoyal Personage.
The breach of trust not appearing, but the con-
trary appearing clearly and positively disproved. by
the defendant's answer,, without any contradiction
by aflidaVit or otherwise, as to any distinction in
the letters, he could not tape that into considera-
tiOn, but opist allow all to be .published indiscri-
minatelynjunction.dissolved.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, (TUNE .1;.

BEGG, V. COODE,

Mr. TOPPI gc Stated that this action was brought
to recover 732, 1 is. the price of a picture. The
defendant.was au officer in the army he believed ;
but he bad another distinction by which he was
better known, namely, that of Secretary to a person
of great notoriety,' who was a short time since in
this country—he meant the renowned Baron Ge-
ramb ! In the character ollsecretary to,that famed
personage, he purchaged the picture in question ;
and there was one other trifling circamstance which
be .ought to comniunicate to the Jury, which was,
that Mr.' Conde. had forgotten to pay for the pic-
ture utter having so purchased it. After having
been called upon, he acknowledged his inability
to pay ; but he' oVred to give 101. to he otl the
bargain. This .was acceded to, but hitherto the
plaintilrbad not been able to obtain the 731. 1 la.
the picture,. or even the 101.
. Witnesses were culled, who proved these facts
and na defence being offered, the Jury returned..a
verdict for the plaintiff.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 4.

THE KING V. COL. JOHN GORDON SINCLAIR.

This was an information tiled by the Attorney
General; ex qffleio, against the defendant, for keep-
ing a private distillery adjoining his house at Pad-
dington, contrary to the statute, which imposes
very, severe penalties in case of conviction. It ap-
peared that the Exeise Officers having received in.
information, proceeded to Colonel Sinclair's
houSe; and discovered a still for • making gin,
with all . the appendages. The premises were
let by Colonel Sinclair to a person named
Younger, but the distillery communicated with the
`Colonel's
house, through a wall, audit was stated
that the business had been. carried on with the aid
of Younger, who was permitted to share in the
profits. It was contended, on the part of the de-
fendant, that Cpl. Sinclair• did not know of the
illicit trate, anti that he distraiued on ,Younger for
rent us soon as he discovered the circumstance.—
The Jury, under all the facts of the ease, found a
verdict for the King.
