[FROM THE,CALCUTTA GAZETTE, OCT. 9.]

The movements of" hi. different di'isions of the
Bengal and Madras armies now assume a particu-
lar interest, and will probably shortly develop the
plan of the fampaign. At present Sapoir appears
to be the point oti which they are likely to
move. It was understood the Madras diyi-
sjons were marching by Hindia and Hurdah,
and that they would erns the Nerbudda, arid
move, with- all expedition, to the North. West
towards Sagur. It was expected Sir Juan
Malcolm would proceed from
..Nagnore to
Soance (within two marches of Mullah), and
join the lst and 3d Brigades of the Army of the
Dukhin ; and that the force under Adams {which
forins the sth. Brigade of that Army) would move
to the same point. It is reported in the Ukbars
from Sagur that the whole force of the Pindarees
would proceed toward, Gualior, before the lltis-
sarah, and that a confidential man, ott the part of
Scindia, was with each of the Piudaree Chief-
tains, Clieetoo, Wassail, Malionied, liurreem
Khan, &c. • -

MADRAS, OCT. 21.—We are sorry to Learn from
Calcutta) that the. epidemic disease, which has
lately been so fatal in that capital and
neigh-
bouring provinces, continues mid-lecke:l in- its
progress ; and SIICII, we are'informed-, is the alarm
excited by this dreadful calamity, that Calcutta
has been deserted ,by a great portion of its native
pipulation. It is• deeply to be regretted that ti►e
prejudices pointed out in the following paragraph
should paralyze_the humane efforts which have
been made to check this baneful disease :

" The arrangements that have been made by
the Public Authorities, and.which are Mentioned in
an extract from the last Government Gazette, have
effected every thing that perhaps is practicable, in
the existing state of the native community. Re-
medies. have been placed within the reach of the
Sufferers, and hundreds of persons have been saved
trona the fatal consequences of the disorder ; but
there is too much reason to fear that an abhor-
rence of medicines administered by Europeans,
and a mistaken confidence in the efficacy at
specifics obtained •in the bazar and hedges,
have deterred many from seeking the proffered
remedies until too ,late. A reliance on the pur-
chased protection of Kali,:has,.we are persuaded,
also 'prevented numbers from proceeding/to the
places, where human relief could be obtained.—
Every day,. during the preceding week; • have-we'
%Vitnessed-soletnn processions to' the tempts
implore-the clemency of ,this hithertoiniphicable
goddess.'.l.
