BOMBAY COURIER, APRIL =s,

Fty private information received here, we learn
that a large body of ftee-booting horse, whether
Pindarees or not we are ignorant, who were en-
camped on the banks of the fiera, about 11 miles
North-west of Soonee Ramauey, were surprized
in their carol► by a detachment of the Madras army
ender the command of Major Smith. The acconnt
states, that two companies of the Ist of the 3d,
and of the Ist of the 2d, and the flank companies
of the 14th Madras Native Infantry, marched
front the banks of the Beenut, 35 miles South-
east of Seroor, in pursuit of a body of horse ;
they Continued the chase with astonishing exer-
tion and perseverance for four days and five nights,
and at day-break of the fifth day (Mb of April)
sin prised their encampment, just as they were pre-
paring for a march. The nature of :he ground
prevented the infantry immediately forming line ;
they poured a volley into the ramp, and then
broke into divisions of two companies and march-
ed through the camp. The freebooters got on
their horses with uncommon rapidity, and formed
beyond their camp, leaving behind them several of
their saddles and a great quantity of baggage. As
soon as the infantry had got through the camp,
:Major Smith concentrated his detachment, and a
body of the best mounted and equipped of the
horse exchanged a few shot with the infantry, and
,then made off, leaving about 60 men mid many
more horses dead on the This body of horse,
which is described us being upwards of 5000, had
been driven from the neighbourhood of Malta
Dew by Colonel Smith, and were on the march
towards C3S9Brbary ; and the report e•as, that
thee had been faller► in with on the hanks of the
Godaverv, by the brigade under Colonel Milnes,
and had been still more severely handled. We
regret to state, that in their march they had met
with Lieutenant Warre of the Madras artillery,
who was proceeding with a small party from
Seroor towards Soonee Ratnaney, and had innr-
tiered him, with two or three of his sea/Joys.
Lieut. Warre's remains were buried at Soonee
Thonaney on the 18111 instant.
Letters from Aurungabad give also most grafi,.
fying accounts of an attark made on a body of
Instirgents about 70 miles N. W. of tl►at place, by
a party of the Nizam's retomed cavalry in Berar,

" NEWS FROM AMELIA ISLAND.—We have beery

a letter to a respectable Merchant in this city:—
" FERNANDINA, SEPT. 6.—This is the age of Revolution
the arrival of the Morgiana, instead of giving permanency to

the ruling party, app-ears to have brought about a complete:
change. General M‘Gregur, and most of his Officers of rank,

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE

The following is an oxtrtict or a I tier from an
Officer at the Cape of Good Hope :

" Letters have- been received from'Graham's
Town, from which it is apparent that the' good
effects from the late regulations tor the protee;ion
of colonial. propevy on the frontiers, begin. to
manifest themselves. 'seems that on the 28th
ot last month (:Ipcii) some ot Habana's people
penetrated into .the Colony, and succeeded ititsur-
prising nineteen lwad.of cattle belonging to some
Hottentots. Information was ,immediately con-
veyed to Graham's Town of the depredation, when
Major Frazer, without loss of time, dispatched
•Lieutenant -Verel.er, of the 83d regiment, with
100 men,' in pursuit of the fugitives. They were
easily traced, and it appears had returned into the
.Caffre Land •by Trumpeter's Drift. Habana is
one of the Catfre Chiefs who did not attend the
conference with his ENeellency the Governor, on
the' Kat River. Lieut. Vereker pursued the stolen
cattle by the traces to his first kraals, and then de-
n-landed-restitution. The Caffres hesitated in mak-
ing it ; he therefore seized an equal number of
Caffre cattle to that stolen, and acquainted the
Chief with the kraal that his object was only to
take back what had been previously purloined ; he
would wait there till the.next morning, to give
time to consider the necessity and propriety of re-
stitution. Upon day dawning it was found:that,
instead of giving up the 7,lert cattle, the Caffres
were'preparing to assail his party, and to retake
the 19 oxen he'had possessed himself of. Lieut.
Vereker, iu Conservience, commenced his march
homeward with the herd he had taken, and 'was
not annoyed by the Caffres, until be came to the
head of the Little Kat River, when supposing Il,it
situation favoorable to their object, they masreheti
upon his party from the surrounding hills, in great
.nurnhers, making-horrible shouts, -and throwing
• their assagays at our men. 'Lieut. Vereker
formed his party; commenced firing with suet'
effect, that: fifteen Cailres .were killed and many
more wounded ; the remainder immediately diS-
persed, and the party retnrneil to Graham's Torn,
when the 19 head of cattle were distributed among
the Hottentots whose. cattle had been stolen.—
The temperate and firm conduct of Lieut. Vereker
on this occasion is entitled to great praise,"

Three casks of baham of capivi, the render
of the sinugglqd cargo' belonging tO this town,
which was lately seized in London, were found
Monday .last at Runcorn, and_ inimediaiely tai
by the Custom-house Officers.—Liveroot Gazette.

rose in good health, and, deceased saying she felt
'unwell, they staid at home, reading the late Mr.
Romaine's " Life of Faith" together. The de-

UNION HALL.

ATTEMPT AT. M LID E . —John Cain, a tall Irish-
man, was brought before the Magistrates by He+
run, the constable of St. George's„ Southwark,
fur attempting to murder Edward Farrell, a watch-i'
man of the said parish. It appeared that, about
two o'clock yesterday morning, the prisoner was
observed by Farrell, the watchman, parading up.
and down Kent-street, Borough, with an open
clasp knife in his band ; he continued to watch.
him, and.saw him go to a house, 37, in Kent
street, and attempt to force an entrance, first at
the door, then at the window. Farrell then. went
to him, and attempted to collar him, wheti the
prisoner made a desperate stab at him ; the knife
fortunately came in contact with the rattle which'
was_ hanging by his side, after penetrating a
thick watch-coat and an under-coat. Farrell
being: unarmed thought it expedient to retreat
and. procure . assistance, and proceeded to the,
watch-house of St. George's for that purpose.,
The prisoner followed him, with the knife in his
hand, and Farrell only saved himself by his speed.
Heron came to his assistance, and'after a desperate
strugglehe was disarmed, anti conveyed to the
watch-house. Heron's hand was very much cut.
The prisoner stated, it was not his intention to
hurt the watchman.if he had not. interfered, but
had intended to wreak his vengeance on a young
woman naubed Hannah. Webb, who lived at 37.
Kent-street.. She had formerly lived with him as
his wife, but .during his absence.
.at sea she had
irausferee'd her. affection to another object, and he
was determined to be the death of her. The pi+
sober was committed for want of

QUEEN-SQUARE.

EXTRAORDINARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—
Susannah Stewart, an old woman, 71 years of age,
who was remanded last week.for further examina-
tion, was this day brought up, and charged by
Mr. 'W. Cooke, No. 20, Queen's-row, Pimlico,
with breaking openseVeral trunks in his dwelling-
house, and stealing therefrom several pairs of
sheets, sev-ral table-cloths, a number of knives
and forks, several bed-side carpets, shawls,-gowns,
anti,other articles, which hrd been left. in his cus-
tody by a cousin of his who had gone into the
country for her
Prosecutor stated, that when he took the house,
she (prisoner) lodged in the garret adjoining that
where the trunks were placed ; and as she always
paid her rent regularly every quarter,- he had no
suspicion. of her being dishonest. .
The Lsdy who Owned the goods stolen, ,and
which she had confided to the care of her relative,
111 r. Cooke, again attended, and identified, as
-her- property, several articles which. had been
found in prisoner's lodging atChelsea since the
first search ; but she said that there was not yet
prodticed one half of what she had lost.
Pace, the Officer, produced a large sack full of
articles of difitirent kinds which, he found- in her
apartments on a second search ; among others, a
quite new brass coal-skuttle and lei-kettle, a set
of fire-irons -highly polished, town., made,. and,
worth from 3 to 5 guineas, a handsome black vel-
vet tunick, richly and tastefully enabroidered.down
the fronts and round the collar and cuffs with a
fanciful gold lace and gold studs, and Such as
would do very well for the stage, or to go to a
masquerade in ; but the most curious article of
all ,was-a man's great coat, of rather a.middling
size, old, and very shabby, with an old round
.hat, and n belt to go, round the waist, which it is
supposed she used as a disguise to. beg in, and be-
ing very similar to those used in the geggare.Bush
and the Juvial Crew.
The Worthy Magistrate (W. FIELDING, Esq.)
asked her. what part of the country she came
from-?
Prisoner answered, she came from Northumber-
land. which was very apparent from her dialect. ,
What was her family
Prisoner answered, it it as very genteel, and
she herself had received an excellent education. '
Mr. 1-I.,,amEn, the Solicitor, who attended On

prisoner's behalf, objected to her answering an/
more questions at present ; and as she said she
could account for all the articles last produced,
prisoner was remanded for farther examination.

RIOT IN ST. JANIIiS'S PARK.

Bow-STREET.--YCSt erday morning Thomas Scott
was bro)ight from the Ifonse of Correction, Cold.
bath-fields.

Mr. Chambers; who 'apprehended the prisoner,
stated himself to be an Officer in the 25th Light
Dragoens who was not 'in his regimentals, but
merely a spectator in the Park, and seized the pri-
soner .
on account of the violence of his conduct.
He said, 'that at the time of the return of the
Royal procession through the Mall, the mob 'were.
pursuing it in great numbers, hissing and hooting,
calling the ,Prince Regent by the'most disgusting,
epithetst rand. calling to others to pull hilts out,
seize him, &c. 'Sonied the mob, who had stieks
and stoned,, struck the Life Guardsmen and their
horses, and threw. the stones, at them. When the
,State carriage leas between Marlborough' House

,flaring conduct several Life.Guaidsmen endea-
otoured to disperse the mob, who were fol-
lowing •the state carriage, when a shower of
.stones were thrown at them. Among the
Guards was the first witness, Laycock ; about
that time he observed the prisoner, who was
taking, a -leading part among the crowd, strike
at,{otte of.' the Life-Guardsmen ,with his um-
brella, The prisoner was particularly
active
. among the mob when the stones were thrown at
the Life-Guardstnen,, malting w great noise, and
calling out to others Of the mob ;' and addressing
Life
tolhe witness Laycock, and others of the
Life Guards, be said to them, t.` ,D--n your eyes,
you: ought all to be sent to H-11 !" or similar
words. The • prisoner.
.appeared to be the prinel-
. pal spokesmen among'the mob, anti he considered
ft to be the encouragement the mob received from,
illittatctioner acid language,' that induced, them to
ttioulinoc to proceed with their violence ; and it
-!as after very abusive language from him, that a
cetat number, of stones were thrown by the mob
•at the Life Guards.
William Laycock, a private in the Ist regiment
Of Life• Guards, gave evidence to the same effect.
Nr.,,,,HtcKs..adth4ssed.' the prisoner at some
length; and told him be stood charged on suspi-
cion-of eery high 'offence, the highest against

The prosecutor, who stated himstlf to be foot.
matt to a Lady in Baker•stiect, stated, that he
left there for 'a walk at ten o'clock at n'ght ottt
the 23d, - He strolled into Hyde Park, whci.e he
%vas accosted by a man who solicited charity, lie
was itmuediately after attacked by two turltt, one
of whom Was the prisoner ; lie was knocked
down, and the property WAS taken front him,
having previously asked if he had a watch. The
prosecutor called out to the person who had just
be Core solicited charity of him, but he did not
come, and witness supposed he was in conjunc-
tion with the robbers.

Sibley, a pipe-maker, Lad been drinking %ergo
Croxcy from half-past four o'clock on the day of
tie robbery till eleven at night, at the Canteen,
Knghtsbridge. This witness was. io 'custody at
Marlborough-street Police for the robbery, but
he was discharged. He proved that he accompa-
nied the prisoner through the Park, and that they
were both inebriated.—On cross-examination he
stated, that be was not with the prisoner all the
way through the Park. Guilty—Death.
Barnet Leipman was capitally convicted of rob-
bing Mr. Sanders, on his return from Bow Fair.
The prosecutor was beset by about eight or ten
persons, who bustled him and robbed him. He
identified the prisoner, who was taken on the
spot by a watchman.
Jas. Lindsay was acquitted on two separate In-
dictments for forgery, and another for embezzle-
ment. The prisoner was acquitted of felony lasi
Session,, and he was also acquitted of forgery yes-
terday. These prosecutions were instituted by
the prisoner's master, Mr. From!, an eminent so-
licitor in Cary-street. The forgeries went off upon
this occasion in, consequence of defect in proof as
to where they were committed, and the embez-
-21, meat was not supported by evidence.
The prisoner was tried F ticcessf,illy the fourth

ceived at their-house.

J.,stice PARK, in summing up the evidence,
entreated of the Jury to divest themselves of pre-
judice, if any bad arisen in th►e fo►mer cases, and
try the prisoner as if he had not been before them.
The present was a case of felony, if they believed
the prosecutor, as the money had been intrusted
to the prisoner for a specific purpoDe, to which it
had not been applied.
The Jury fonad the prisoner Guilty.--The of-

MARGATE STEAM-PACKET.

TOTAL DESTRUCTION BT FIRE OF THE REGENT
• MARGATE STEAM-PACKET.

On Wednesday morning last this vessel, ciim•
mantled by Captain HA nvEY, left Look') for
Ilargate,with between 40 and 50 passeq4eis oni
board ; and it appears, front aCCOISH received in
town yesterday, that when off Whitstable, whict)
is 18 miles flow the port of destiisatiOn, she %%as
discovered to be on fire : at this time she w,,SalsO
3 miles front the main (and. As to Vessel of this de-
scription never carries a boat larger than sufficient
to hold her own crew, which seldom exceeds t
dozen persons, the consternation of htt ween 40
and 50 passengers may be better conceived tha'a
described. The fire was discovered to rroceed
from the furnaces used fir the boilers of the sreant
engines, and to gait) rapidly on the exertions of
-those on board. The vessel was seen front the
shore ; and one account w bleb we have sect'
states, that she was met by several boats from
Whitstable, who succeeded in getting all on board
safe to land; and this account seems corroborated
by the following notice, which was posted yester-
day, in the afternoon, at Lloyd's :
" The Regent steam-packet, bound to Margate,
was burnt to t he .water's edge, yesterday atierooott,
off Whitstable. Crew and passengers waved."
The cause of the fire is stated to be as follows :
The gale of wind being strong, blew the chimney
flue away, and the wood-work, which is nearly
breast high from the deck, at the bottom of the
fine, for the purpose of keeping the people near
the chimney front burning themselves, caught
fire ; the men in throwing the buckets over for
water to put it out lost them, consequently the
fire was not checked, and the captain immediately
made for land, anal got all the people and crew,
and luggage, safe ashore; but the vessel is almost,
entirely consumed.—(Morning Paper.)

FRANIE-BREAKING.

On the proposition for the second reading of
the Frame-breaking Prevention Bill,
Mr. J. SMITH observed upon the extraordinary
circumstances under which this Bill was introduc-
ed, and that nothing was heard of it until the
Habeas Corpus Suspension Act was passed, and
until above six mouths had elapsed after any

frante•breaking had taken place in the districts to
which the Bill was professedly meant to apply.
Bututhis evil having ceased, he could not see the
propriety of adding to what was justly called " the
bloody code of our penal laws," by the enactment
of the Learned Gentleman's proposition. .

Tile ATTORNEY-GENERAL declared, that whether
the liubeas Corpus Suspension Act had passed or
not, it was his intention to bring tot ward the pre-
sent Bill.

After a few further remarks from Mr SMITH,
the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be
committed to-morrow.

SOU AMERICA.

The following interesting communication has
been received by the Brazil packet. It will be
seen, with regret, that the most deplorable
anarchy, prevails throughout the whole of the
richest provinces of th new world :
" Itto JANEIRO, OCT. 26:—The, state of the
River Plate cannot be described without feelings
of horror, on contemplating the causes which
have'bronght that country into the extreme of
misery and desolation. In Santa Fe (part of the
Buenos Ayres territoryj•fresh scenes of confusion
.have been'repeited. Diai, Velez, and Dorrego,
after levying a contribution of 80,000 dollars,
gave the city op to pillage for five days. The in-
habitants of Cordova and Santa Fe having form-
ed a junction with part of Artigas' troops, at-
tempted to cut off the retreat of the Buenos Ayres
troops, hut slit! latter opened their way, after los-
ing a„ number of men. The army acting in the
vicinity of the Andes, under the command of San
Martin, has been considerably reinforced, and al-
though it is said that its object is to attempt the
conquest of Chili, this must be pronounced a
very hazardous enterprise,
,unless a party is al-
ready formed in the country. The army acting
in Peru, under the command of Gen. Belgrano,
remains in its old cantonments in Tneunia.—The
Lima army had made no movement fromthe neigh-
bourhood of Jujuy. New levies and contribu-
tions are forming in Buenos Ayres, and all 'Blacks
from the.age.of 16 to 50, without any exception,
are to be organised into a distinct corps. About
the middle of last September the greatest inunda-
tion was experienrrd thl was ever known. Near
20 vessels were lost ~and lniong them one of the
prizes taken from the Spaniards near Cadiz; she
founelered with a.cargo of sugar on board, and of
the crew only three men were saved. In the
country also great. ravages have hapnened, and
the total loss is estimated at 204)0 dollars. Ac-
counts have reached us here front Rio Garde np
to the middle of the present month, stating, that
the Portuotese army had already moved forwards
front Santa Theresa and Cerro Largo, in the di-
rection of Maloonado and 'Monte Video."
