EAST INDIES.

(FROM THE MADRAS GAZETTt, MARCH 6.)

IVe observe, that at ilotniiy, as well as at
Bengal, the anomalous rank of Caj)taiti-Lieu-
tenant has been abolished by the Marqueis of

HA3r ings.

The Klissrovie, Captlin Wadding,tnn, had a, -

rived from Bussorah, Bushire, and Muscat. At
Bushire, she lett his Majesty's ship Eden ; Hon.
Company's 'cruisers Mercury and Antelope, and
country ship Euphrates ; the former, it seems,
had been again successful in destroying some pi-
rates in the Golf, but the partieular• are not men-
tioned. The Company's cruisers Vestal and Be-
pares were at Muscat.
Our private letters from the interior mention,
that the Ex-Rajah of Nagpore had attempted to
make his escape lately, from the position he had
taken up in the Jungles. This attempt, however,
appears to have been frustrated by the vigilance
of the troops. Some of his skirmishers having
imprudently approached close to our picquets,
were promptly and vigorously pursued, and three
of them taken. These men state, that the Ex--
Rajah, having. for some time been subject to very
great privations, contemplated an escape to the
fortress of Asseygur, accompanied by Seetoo ; and
they were of opinion that, notwithstanding the.
precautionary' measures taken, Seetoo's know-
ledge of the country would eventually enable-him
to reach his destination.
