We yesterday received Calcutta Gobernmeat Ga-
zettes to August 20, inclusive. Appa Sahib, the
Ex• Rajah of Nagpore, after his escape from 'our
escort, fled to the hills and rocky fastnesses of
Goandwaua. The Goands, the inhabitants of this
territory, • are a barbarous people, among whom
lie appears to have obtained temporary protection,
though this race have always been unwilling tri-
butaries to their conquerors, the lloonsla _Matt-
rattas. Indeed, man, of them cannot be .said to
have been ever conquered, but preserve their ie-
depeedence, and continue to subsist by a ptoa.
tory course of life. They are governed by petty
Chiefs, who are generally in.a state of hostility
each other ; and hence we may conclude,
that A ppa Sahib's retreat is not very secure. He
is, hoes-ever, said to have collected a-eind hit»
near 3000 Arab mercenaties, the wrecks partly of
his own force, and partly of Bajee lOW's ; and
with these he was enabled to cut oft Captain
:spikes, whose lamented tate we have Thrtnerly
noticed. Large reinforcements have .sitree.been
sent to the Bietool district, where this. dis-
aster ()centred, and there is no doubt but that the
sanguittat y Atabs will be exemplarily punished.—
These barbarians pay no regard to the laws of ci-
vilized war. %nen Captain Sparkes found that. he
could not make good his retreat, he sent a flag of
truce down the bill; but the feincious enemy
would not listen to terms of any kied. Imme-
diately after receiving information of this unfor-
tunate affair, Colonel Adam.; detached Major
Macpherson, with four Companies of the 2d Bat-
talion of the ,10th Infantry, and a squadron of the
7th Cavalry, to attack the enemy ; and other mi-
litary arrangement* ,were also adopted for the:
purpose of protecting the country.—These Papers
contain addresses to the Marquis of Hastings on
the glorious termination of the late campaign,
front tie British inhabitants of Moorshetlabad.
and Berhampore, and from the Native
inhabi-
tants of Calcutta. In reply to the latter, the
Noble Marquis takes occasion to observe, that
be " cannot feel, and never will make. a distinc-
tion of interest between the Native subjects of the
Indian Government and his owu countrynteo :
and that he is conscious be can hate the pride of
meriting British approbation, only in proportion
as he promotes the happiness and welfare of the
Native population."

MARIA STUART.

MR. EDITOR ,--I perceive by a paragraph in
your Paper of last night, that SCIIILLEeS Maria
Stuart has been withdrawn ; a circumstance
which you seem to regret, and which shews that
you entertain a just sense of the merits of that ce-
lebrated Poet. 1 should most heartily tnyself (egret
ti.iS circumstance too, if I were not ennvinced
than the non-performance of this piece in 'this
CoUurry is a judicious measure ; I mean as- far as
regards the piece itself, as I am not going to offer
any remarks on the differences which we are told
horve arisen between the Managers and one of the
Female Performers respecting the cast::, of the
characters.

SCHILLER'S Maria Stuart, in the original Ger.
man, is undoubtedly one of this Author's master-
pieces ; but as it cannot, of course, he brought
before a British audience in the original, a mere
Translation will be, in the same degree, defective
and insufficient, as the beauties of the Original
display the mind of a sublime and extraordinary
genius. 1 have seen a Translation which • was
published in London several years back, and
' 1 do not deny that it is a very good one ; but still
a Translation, and consequently not able to coo-
stay the beautiful language of the Original, in all
its richness and brilliancy. The Piece neither
would, in my bumble opinion, ever become popu-
lar in this country, because a great manypoints,
have been mixed up in it, for the sake of support-
ing and carrying on the Plot, which cannot well
be reconciled to the political and religious ideas of
the English.
Maria Stuart, and all her friends, ,are more-
over represented as enthusiastic Roman Catlio-
lics (as no doubt they were), and. many
scenes are introduced, which would -not produce
the intended effect upon an audience itohis country.
I he! e particularly allude to that-scene •in Which
the Holy Sacrament is administered to Maria
Stuart, on which point there is a diversity of opk,
Mon even in Germany ; and in some places, for
instance,- Leipzig• and Dresden, both •Protedvarst
towns, this scene has been suppressed
proper.
For this, and many other reasons,, I. believe
that the Piece would entirely fail in its:effect
upon an audience.in this country. it was written
for the Germans, who viewing the subject of 'it
as quite foreign to themselves, bad only to contem-
plate and to admire the sublime thoughtsand ideas
of that extraordinary genius, SCHILLER, expressed
in language which has not yet been equalled by•
any German writer, and which I maintain cannot
be translated.
