INDIA.

Though Britain has so deep a stake in every thing
that relates to the. East Indies, the greatest pains are
taken to keep the public in entire ignorance of every
eir:umstanee i4hich passes in that quarter. It has
even become as much a system to disguise or com-
pletely to suppress all intelligence of events crag..
'acting in that country, as it now is or ever was in
France to blind the people whose blood and treasure
are daily sacrificed in prosecuting lawless schemes
of ambition and conquest. With haw much care
i have the events stated in the subjoined letter from an
Officer in the Company's service been kept fr,— "-

I, DELHI, DECEMBER Ls, iso7.

" I left Bengal in May last, and Calcutta in June; and after a,.
painful journey of nearly four months, (partly by land, partly by
water) arrived here on die I,9th October, owing greatly to the
tedious navigation of the Garitee. the stream of which runs very
rapidly down, while the wind blows always strongly in a contrary
direction. We have received a good deal of trouble with a Petty
Chief, mated Dhoodia Khan, who bad the command of a District
in. the heart of our new Conquest, and against whom it was hardly
thought necessary to take any precaution. In September last, he
thought proper to rebel, and shut himself up in a very strong fort
called Comona. A force composed of 5000 infantry and 1000
cavalry, under the command of General Dime's., (a Ring's Offi-
cer) was sent against him, and opened the trenches on the 12th
October. During the siege, he was so daring as to attack us two
or three times, in one of which onsets he had nearly succeeded in
driving us from the trenches.. ry the middle of Nevem
bee, we had our approaches close to the ditch, tke scarp of WWI
was blown in on the 18th, and on the 19th tke plate was stormed.
Our gallant little army fought three hours, and made brave and
repeated though unsuccessful attempts to enter the breach, when
the General found it necessary to call them or, distressing to
relate, with the dreadful lass of 40 officers and 600 men killed and
wounded. The Rebel Chief had, however, sustained so great
loss, and was so very apprehensive of another attack, that he
abandoned the place the same night, and we entered it next morn-
ing. We learn be has got to the mountains, and that most of his
followers are diipersed; in consequence pf which, we ere in daily
expectation of seeing hint brought in by his own people, in order
to prechre their pardon."

WEST INDIES.
It,. appears by Barbadoes papers to the 19th u 1
that an unsuccessful attempt had been made by our
troops to obtain possession of the island of St. Mar-
tin. Out of 130 men employed In this service, be.
tween 20 and SO were killed and the reiainder made
prisoners. They were, however, in consequence of
some arrangement with the people of the island,
liberated, and re-embarked in the course of tilt
same day.

Hamburgh and Altona papersto the 24th ult. and
Dutch letters and journals to the 80th, have been ren
ceived, from which we have given some extracts in
the preceding columns.
By the accounts from France and Holland, in pri-
vate letters, it would appear, in opposition to those
'too which we yesterday alluded, that NAPOLEON has
:not given up. the idea of compelling the Spaniards to
receive his brother as their Monarch. The principal
part of the troops hitherto employed for the rtotec-
tion of the French• coast, have been ordered to take
the route for Spain. These troops have kitbags been

Three camps are ordered to be formed in Bavaria ;
And it is obvious, from the points where they are to

The army of the King a SAXONY is also ordered to
hold itself in readiness. The French troops have been
withdrawn from Silesia, under pretence of relieving
that oppressed and exhausted country. Austria, on
