[FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. OF THIS DAY.]

r The l'imes.l

We have to state the arrival of further Dis-
patches from India. They contain,

ist. A General Order from the-Governor-Gen';
oral, thanking Lieutenant-Colonel Adams for Lis
attack open", and defeat of, the Mahratta Army,
tinder ILijee Row, the details, of which were al-
ready poblislred in The Gazette of the 28th of last
September.

2d. Major Clark's report of the surprise
defeat of the durrahs of two Pindarree Chiefs, on
the 13:11 of January .; in the course of which ac-
tion, Ca.ptain Kennedy was much disti»goisbed,
and airont 1;000 Pindatrees out of 1500 were
Blain. This report is followed by another com-
plementary General Older to the Officers and
Troops by kvl,om the success was achieved.
3d. Details of some small,- though brilliant,
operations under MAjor Richards, Lieutenant-
Colonel Macmorine, and Major O'Brien, to-
wards the end of February and beginning of
Mord,

4th. Extracts of Reports from Major-General
Marshal, together with the General Orders of
that Officer, relative to the operations in which
be had been engaged, thronghoot the months of
March and April. On the lith of March the
General occupied the tort of Sangur, a place of
considerable importance. On the 24th, the gar-
rison of Dhamonee surrendered. On the 26th
and 27:h of April the division of General Marshal
was employed in the reduction of tire fortress of
Man('lah, already stated in' this journal, an ob-
ject which was effected by storm. Major-Ge-
nral Watgon led the attack.,—the garrison were
driven in all directions befor'e the assailants, and
fell in great numbers—of which many were
pursned by our cavalry, and forced into the Net-.
bliddah, where they perished.' The two Com-
mandants, Sabah Roy and Muthoo Rani, were
tried on charges of treachery and rebellion, in re•
sisting the public orders of.the Nagpore Govern-
ment, which enjoined submission to the British ;
but it being ascertained that they acted under
secret orders from their unprincipled and infatu-
ated Chief, they were of course acquitted.
