" We know, from good authority, that a confidential exami-
nation is going on at the Horse Guards, into abuses arising
from the illegal exercise of undue in/Jimmie. This matter has
been progressively unravelling ever since February, 1322. An
officer of cavalry, eldest son °fa British Admiral, and grandson
of an English Earl, tendered his statement a fortnight past to
Major Mailing, of the Adjutant-General's office, when every
facility was offered by Major-General Sir Herbert Taylor, to
the due elucidation of these transactions. The officer bringing
the charges against en official servant of tried services, stakes
his commission on the result, and relying confidently on the
equity of military investigations, presented his leading wit-
ness to the notice of the proper authority. Lieut.-Colonel
D'Aguilar has twice examined this witness, confronted with
other parties (officials) at the Adjutant-General's office, and
the matter assumes a complexion of vital consequence to the in-
terests of every officer in the service. We shall be more expli_
cit next Sunday, when the general outline of the matter shall
appear before our readers-"—( The Indian Observer.)

THE INDIAN ARMY.
MADRAS, DEC. 10, 1823.—The anniversary of the battle of
MAHIDPOOR falling on Sunday, the Ball and Supper to
be given by the Officers of the 3d Regiment Light In-
fantry, in commemoration of the event, will take place on
Monday, the 22d instant.—We understand that the New
Mess Room of the above distinguished corps will be opened for
the first time on the occasion.—The commemoration of this
brilliant achievement, and of the heroism displayed by the Bri-
tish and Native troops in this important and decisive battle,
induces us to express the deep regret .we feel in noticing the
mortification and disappointment which is felt, and the gene-
ral dissatisfaction expressed by the troops at the unaccount-
able delay which has taken place in the distribution of the
Deccan prize money ; for, from the great extent and value
of the booty taken from the Native Princes, in the course
of the late glorious though short war, they expected to
have participated in it long ago ; especially, as it was generally
understood in India. that the LATE President of the Board of
Controul had strongly recommended an immediate distribution
of it. If the Court of Directors still object to give up all the
public property and booty which was taken by the troops yet
a considerable ptirt of it might have been, without any inconve-
nience whatever to the Company's Service, paid over to the
Army on account, and the remainder distributed to them,
whenever it was decided by the proper Authorities to belong
to the troops under his Majesty's grant. We trust, the next
dispatches will bring us more favourable accounts, and that the
Directors have acceded to the several claims of the Army, which
have been delivered in ; so that the money may be put into
a course of distribution in the ensuing year.
" BOMBAY, DEC. 10, 1823.—0 n Thursday morning his
Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, accompanied by his
suite, left the Presidency for the Northern Districts, un-
der the usual salute. His Excellency proceeded over-land
to Bassein, from whence he was to embark on board the
pilot brig Palinurus for Surat, and we understand he is
not expected to return to Bombay before March or April.
The Palinurus, after leaving Surat, continues her voyage
to the Persian Gulf. The Caroline, lately arrived from
the Persian Gulf, brings three females, natives of Mangalore,
who, we are informed, were forcibly seized by a party of Arabs,
whilst on the shore of their native place, and carried on board
an Arab Dow, which sailed for the Gulf, and landed them at
Bareeni. By means, with which we are unacquainted, they
got intelligence of their condition to be conveyed to the Ante-
lope, the officer of which obtained their release, and carried
them to Bushire, whence they were transmitted here in the
Caroline. An inquiry into the truth of this statement is, we
hear, going on at the Police Office."

The Bristol Gazette, on the authority of letters
by the Pitt, says,. " There is every reason to believe that Sir
C. M`Carthy was sacrificed after the battle, and his bead sent
to the King of the Ashantees ; and that Mr. Williams was in
the hands of the Dutch Governor of Elrnina, as a hostage, on
certain conditions."
.Probert is now in Gloucestershire, and was at
Newnharn Fair on the 11th in9tant, exhibiting a
horse for sale.
