BURY, Milieu 13.

AT ae adjatirned.County Sessions held at Bury on
Monday last, the Parishes in :the Western part of
'this County were fined tol. for each deficiency ne.
gledied to be filled up under. 11/Ir.l'vri's Defence Att.
These fines are to he raised by irparatt rateN made
after the tranner,of the Poor's Rates, from which all
Volunteers and persons who have been balloted and
provided substitutes during the present War are ex.
ernpt to the, amount of a 4dl. rental. •
Tile Postmasteo General, fir ,the, patticalat ac-
commodation and safety of the property of the
inhabitants •of tiory,,
.have contrated to hying the
,Mall.coacit from Newmarket. through Bury, and
Thetford; 'in its way t4.v.and from Norwich;.which
will commence on the 6th of April next.

It is evident that the, accounts which balm beet
reeeived from India are imperien, and that great
chasms remain to be supplied iw anbsequent infor.
, All that 4:10 be colleiled with certainty
from the fans of which die public are hitWeitct in
possession, is, that the Mihratta Chief, by means
of his immense nunthers of Cavalry, has been aWe
to di':concert the plan of iperations between Colo-
nel MONSON an'l Colonel MottitAv, abandoning a
part of his territories to the incursion of the for.
met, while he harassed ,and destroyer the Faces,
under the latter Commander.

Revetiing the engagetnent Which is stated in acir
private letter to have taken plao:bititfik, tilt defeat' of
Col. MONsnN, Matween 'the 'Cavalry under• Gen.
LAKE anti the 114,thratpi Mine, and "which is there
s.tid to have liroVed indecisive; it ipoeari.e.vident
that HOLKAR ty resolved' to pursu?. the taetieg
wltiih
have hitherto been" attended with :inch success.

tipOp the .Other hand: the .plan of the English
COminander is to coOPlloutnit up.between
mica of Bengal and Bombay, and force him, if }dos.
sible, to a decisive attton in the field. Every thing
Clse that has been said upon, this appeari to
be little more than loose (.)riji-Atlure, there being.;no
data from which to •.form Any dettuainn or strong'
inference.. Upon the being able to bring the In.
dian Chief to a batch!, appears to
,us
.ter depend,
in the first instance, the fate of the campaign. Should
General LAKIt, UOrOittliiiitelyvprovc unable to corn.
pass this objeM, it in to be feared, from the ability
•or IfoLicAta, and the nature of the' warfare ha purf
sues, that it will not be very easy, to repair' our
fortune, On the other hand, should the acknow.
ledged skill and perseverrince ()lour General sue.
teed in forcing the Mahtittas to abide the fate of
regular battle, there is nothing, Under Providence,'
which we may not hype for from theValour and ail,.
eipline of our army; and the superiority of European.
artillery and taffies.
It appears by letters from' toMbai, that a few
clays before General LAKB came up.,with HOLKAR,
the latter took the precaution of sending off his in.
fantry and, artillery to the north Ward. To facili.
tate the execution of this plan, he advanced twice
with his cavalry, and engaged General LAKa'a
forces; but our horse• easily, and without loss, put
them to flight. On the 7tll of of:tuber General
LAKI matched to attack the Enemy. They were
driven from their ground, and fled in all dircetiOas.
Hopes were entertained that this success would co.
rible General LAKt to come up with the Enemy's
artillery.
On the xoth of August :Colonel MottaAY, 0110
had marched from the Guzzerat, into the Terrilop
,tics or florAtAa, took possession :of. lodate.. No
detailed narrative of his operations after that period
to the 234 of Oelober, a period .tif‘rWii niopths, 'has
reached us. On the 234 October' COL MURRAY'S
Carps matched from Ogein, not 'far. '.frotit Indoor,
which liad'been taken two months tiefOre. General
Lmta, on chic 34 of October, arrived at. Matura,
where HOotne. had for some time been posted.—
On the Isth of .otiober, Col. MURRAY, who on
the zifth had been apprised of General LAttes ar.
rival at Matuta the 3tl, had advanced to a Camp
distant nine cuss from Rotten to the sonth.eaft.
