EAST-INDIA INTELLIGEN CE.

BENGAL, AUG. 1806.—The Right HOn. Lord
LAKE, Commander in Chief, having quitted the
Frontier Army, and proceeded to Calcutta, previous
to embarking for Europe, the Governor-General in
Council has been _pleased to appoint Major-General
Sir EWEN BAILLIE to the important. command of
:the frontier station ; and that Officer, with his usual
.renergy; is now proceeding from Fort William to the
-Ipper Provinces ; and on the arrival of General
Ut•rn at Caunpoor, he intends visiting Agra and
Pe}hi, on his way to Muttra,.where every vigilance
and activity is required to watch the. motions of.
iiOLICAR, and our Mahratta Allies, and where that
_experienced Officer.will command a respeaable fOrce
of cavalry and infantry, held' in readiness to ad. as
'occasion may require.

MADRAS.—GENERAL ORDER.—Atlcurr 23.

The Right Hon. the Governor in Council has de-
rived great sati,faaion from the informationi that
the Sepoy, named Mustapha Beg, of the Ist batta-
lion of the Lit Native Regiment,' who gave the only
intimation which was received of the projected
Mutiny' at Veflore, previously to the occurrence cf
that unhappy event, has returned in safety to that
garrison.

His Lordship in Council regrets the circumstances
Which precluded a more early attention to the in-
telligence which was-conveyed by that faithful Sepoy,
of the treacherous intention of the native troops of
the garrison of Vellore ; but his 'Lordship has the
highest satisfaction in conferring on Mgotapha Beg
a reward proportioned to the hotourable proof which
he Manifested of his fidelity and attachment to the
British service.
His Lordship in Council has accordingly resolved,
that the sum of two thousand pagodas shall be im-
rliediately presented to Mustapha Beg, and that he.;
shall receive for the ►emainder of ins life a pension
equal to that of a Subadar oflnfan try.

His Lordship has further resolved, that Mustapha
Beg shall be presented with a gold medal in the name
of the Governor and Council, as a badge of honour
and distinetion.

COMMISSIONERS OF MILI7'.dRY INQUIRY.

From some Remarks on Ex traas from the fourth
ItePort of this Board, respeating the Barrack Depart-
/tent, published in Monday's Morning Chronicle, it
should seem that the partizans of the late Adminis-
Tration; in their earnest zeal to spatch- a temporary
Merit for their patrons, have taken but little care to
§ieertain whether such pretensions have not been
t!)lltided in fallacy rather than infaCt. The following
Is the statement alluded to :

The boof the Fourth Report relates to Barrack Build-
;,g 3. The Commissioners enter much at length into the
4ileory and praittice of the Building Department. and apply
1,11,e 'touchstone of inVestigation to the uildins in the Isle f
iglu. These Buildings, completed B
manyg years since, are
Nalued by the Builder at a,n,0001. and upwards; and al-
though his bill is not yet made up, he appears to have re.
efvea between iSo' owl. and igo,oool. to account.
f-
-ie'CoMmissionets have caused these works to be measured
anal the bill made out by professional men, under their own
who after every allowance, state the just cost
°t these putldinks at not more than about t io,cool. leaving a
gyre, e.nce of nearly between this valuation and that
°1.1.,":- builder. But what is of intinitely greater consequence,
414° builder. has open accounts to the amount of no less
1,500,0001. sterling t"
rt is I'l6 very difficult Matter 16 raise a popular cla-
,thbur by round assertions, if no moral regard be paid
,the teptitatieti of men involved therein.-The
rubl it Might naturally be led to conclude from so
unqualified an ex parte.statement, that the Ex-Mini-
sterns through their Board of Military Inquiry (coni:7
posed unquestionably of highly respetaable charac-
rs); Will not Only enable the Public to recover a
cleat," ot,ercliarge of 100,0001. but will point theth to
a probability of more extensive recoveries from the
unadjusted atcoiin-ts of one and a half ster-
z4k in the same branch of departmentl-21Se partizans, however, regarding only the irn-
PTession Oi the moment, care nothing for the public
saPpointment that must ensue, when it is demon-
, traced; on the Builders being allowed to submit,their
Aplailatory statements to the Board, that they have
Justly expended the public monies in the public ser-
-1,.1ce, conformably to the estimates and accounts
de-
livered. This item of fanciful recovery therefore
could be transferred to the other memorable ones
in Lord HENRY PETTY'S flattering statement of Fi-
glance, in aid of that aggregate balance of Hundreds of
;lillions due to the Country, and amply sufficient to
'lle discharge of the National Debt I But how la-
rilentable that this liquidation should now devolve on
tst!rtle less ingenious Financier, who, although finding
"e.figures in the Treasury, may not possess talent
etleßigh to know where to look for the money!
