EXTRACT or A LETTER. !MOM PALLAMCOTTAH. ;
" The tranquil state of this part of India, and
the reinforcements, which the war with the Male.
rams have made necessary in the North, have left
us nearly, destitioe, of Troops to "the southward of
Madras this garrison, which. hitherto invariably
comprized one company of Europeans, one of 'Ar.
tillery, and two battalions of Native Infantry, has
riot at present one battalion ; Secundumally, Sham,
gernacoih, &c. are similarly circumstanced. The
dralts from these Provinces to reinforce the Army
of General Wellesley, consisted of the loth Light
Dragoons, four companies of Artillery, H. M. 33d,
3d, 74;h. 77th, and Both Regiments, Meurun's
.Regiment, and the Scotch Brigade ; tit* rat, 2d, 3d,
4.1 h, 6th, and-7th Regiments of ative Cavalry;

the 17th, ist of the 18th, and 20i of the 19th.
" This fort is a mile and a half in circumference,
built with brick and chinam, remarkably strong,
having three wall., &c. Pangamicourchy, where
we lost so many brave men, is eleven-miles off;
the fort has been entirely demolished, and nrthing
is now to be seen there but about aBo monuments
raised to the memory of our gallant countrymen.
" The frontiers of the Travaricore Country is
twenty three miles from this; the whole of the Ra.
jab's dominions are inclosed on the land side with a
wall, which has but pee gate : his Troops amount
to about tt,ooo, and he has sixty or seventy Ete,
ropeans io his service ; but they are miserably paid,
not more than 20" rupees a month, and halt of that
sum is doliveted in paddy, tobacco, &c. The wo.
• men of Travancore are the most beautiful I ever
beheld ; their dress is in the extreme of European
fashion; they are naked, excepting a small fold of
, inashin round' the 'waist, and a shawl on the head.
The Irmo are allowed as many wives as they can
support, arid they are jealous in the rxtreme.
'' On the Calicut side of TraVancoie, there is a
Province said to be inhabited by-women only ; they
are reported to be as fair as Europeans. No men,
however, vertillseinto the country, for if caught by
the women, they are not allowed so return. • The
largest trees in India, particularly the teake and
;black wood, grow "there.
" The Polygars here are Uncommonly ill-looking
people, buts/now the bravest in the world. On
approaching an European Officer, they prostrate
themselves on the ground and kiss.ir. This Cast is
. known by the manner of tying on their heads a
spotted handkerchief, two corners of which hang
down on their backs about thirty inches. Most of
them allow their beat& to grow, as do all the na.
tivcs when their wives are pregnant."
