Extract of a Letter front a Gentleman at Surat, to kis Fries,

at Bombay, dated the 12th instant,

The 2d Battalion of his Majesty's 50th Refit.
marched up from Downs on Thursday evening,, to
occupy the barracks, which have been fitted up
for, their acconimodation at this place in the short
period of six weeks.

Whtle the repairs were going on, the corps waS
under canvas enjoying the salubrious breeze on
the plains of Bhimpore, and by this change, added
to the good conduct of the men in the camp, the
health of the corps has been most wonderfulty
improved, and the sick now are-not More nume-
rous than that of a battalion of the same strength
•
in England.

MAlilliTßT, -APRIL 21, 1813.
having been brought to the Ist battalion 4th regi-
ment n.ative infantry at Kaira, commanded by
Captain Hull, that a royal tiger had committed
great devAstation in the-neighbourhood—Captain
Hull immediately formed a party for its destruc-
tion, and in the course, or the pursuit, the retreat
of two of these ferocious animals 'was discovered
in a thick jungle in a Yillge---kme' of them escap-
td ; the -other, .a tigress, crossed the bed of a
river, and her flight was struck by two well-
directed shots. The pursuit
.was continued with
spirit, and after a long-search, a Sepoy traced the
place of her concealment. The party advanced
towards the spot, but, in the way, on approach-
ing the edge of. a deep,ravine, the onimal burst
upon their view sooner than was ekpected.- "With
a tremendous roar, she instantly made a spring at
Captain hull, who was in trout of sonic of his
&TON'S. Seeing the imminent peril of their com-
manding officer, with one accord, they rushed.
forward -to interpose themselves and receive the
tigress. on their bayonetA, crying, save the Pultun
Ka 7ntseeb Kawind,* and flying at her at the same
time. The'furions animal, although wouuded• by
several shots, and with her tongue. pierced by a
bayonet, completed her spring, ripped sip the
pantaloon and boot of Captain Hid], broke the
leg of a Sepoy, and then fell with them and ano-
ther Sepoy into an adjoining :ravine, where, after'
receiving five balls in her shoulder, she met from
her gallant assailants with the coup de grace. She
measured ten feet in length.—We are happy to
learn, that these brave fellows who so generously
pressed on to the front of the battle to save their
.ollicer frog!. degtyuction,, although grievously
-wounded, one having been obliged to Staffer atn-
pntation,of his fractured leg, have recovered their
.
health, and are m-the enjoyment of a very
sobscriptidn, which was immediately entet ed into
by the Gentlemen of the station ; and in addition
.to. the substantial comforts thus obtained for
them, their commander, afterotberwise alleviat-
ing their misfortune, which 'they declared they
did not regard-since they had saved him, has se-
cured for them such rewards as are nmst valuable
in a soldier's estiMation, and Must tend to excite.
among their comrades an emulation at their-heroic
conduct.

Captain Hull had served with this•fine battalion
for fifteen years, and commanded It during- five ;
and it is worthy of remark, that on the day. of the
honourable event which we have—recited, it was
made known that he was to quit- it immediately
for a staff situation at the Presidency.;
The most powerful incentives, therefore, which
grateful attachment supply, must have Ope-
rated in the minds of the Sepoys, to such a noble
act of self-devotion forlfie preservation of a man
who was no longer to exercise the power or: the
influence of their commander.

(FURTHER' EXTRACTS:I

EXTRACT OF* A LETTER OF THE EDITOR OF ,THE

ALBANY ARGUS', DATE!) BUFFALM,-DEC.

On .Friday I proceeded with 30 mounted
lunteers to Lewiston. The sight We there wit-
nessed was shocking beyond description our
neighbours were Seen laying dead in the -fields
and roads, some horribly cut and.mangled with
tomahawks, others eaten by the hogs, which, were
probably left,for the purpose, as they were almost
tke-only a:iitnal.fourd alive. It is-not yet ascer-
tained how many were killed,, as most of the
bodies were thrown into the burning houses and
consumed. :We found the bOdies of 'W. Gardner,
Deputy Sheriff;, JOhn M. Low, and Ezra St. John
(whose families cannot be found); ;atomics ;
Alvord, and six others, whose names I have for-
gotten.

VVe now have about 3000 /militia, with same
Indians.; and iii three days we shall 6e 5000
strong, and all determined to cross." •

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

The express who arrived on Sunday evening,
states, that Mr. Pomeroy's house, and three or
four others at Buffaloe were
.spared ; that a Mrs.
Lovejoy was murdered by the enemy ; that Gene-
ral Hall had retreated to. the Eleven Mile Creek• :
and the British had retr►rue►t to Mack itoek.

The particulars of the capture of •Niagata are
variously ratted ; though from the facts stated,
there can be no doubt that there was the -most re-

prehensible negligence qr treachery on the part
,4.;t4c-garrison or its Commander. It.is stated,
that.the inhabitants of Youngstown, &c. were on.
the alert all night 'expeeting the enemy ; that
rockets were. discharged on the American side as
signals to the enemy .the Batavia paper adds,
that the .Commander left the fort between twelve

tlonc in the morning, and went two ni;les to

his farm.; and the Ontario Repository states, that
on the night of its capture the gate of the fort,
for the first time in several years, was left an-
fastened ! , The garrison, 601'0 small, were com-
petent- (such was the strength of the works) to
defend the post against treble the number that
went against it.

About seven o'clock lust night a ticket-porter
carrying a heavy load on his head, going up Lud-
gate-hill, happened to slip, he fell on his hack,
and the load fell on his breast. He -was innue-

diately taken to a Surgeon's at the end of War-
wkk-lanc for assistance„ but in vain, .as he ex-
pired before he was brought in.
