the Afghans ; but the greater part of their host being ill
armed, and worse organised, made
,no impression on the
Sikhs, who, after repelling two desperate but disorderly
movements ~upon, their position, advanced to the charge
with great determination, and put their enemies to the
route. In the flight, great numbers were sabred
by Human's cavalry, and a body that had taken shel-
tera in the village of Seydoo, was surrounded,` and
entirely destroyed. The Afghans lost eight pieces of artil-:
lery, and about 100 swivels, and their camp was plunder..
ed by the victors.. Is was not known in what direction
• the chiefs had fled ; it was, however, thought probable
that the enemy would- not be able to make head against the
RAJA H's troops, the dispersion having been complete. The
date of these advi►es from the Punjaub is to the beginning
of March. At tbis time RUNJIT Sing was at Lahore, in
11l health, and consequently unable, to his great regret, to
take the field. The French officers had -been ordered, after
the battle, to proceed towards Peshawar, and to take pus-
"'ion of the citadel; but it was thought the timely sub-
mission of YAR `MONA:II3IED would cause a suspension of
hostilities. The Government at Calcutta, with the view
of removing some portion of the odium which had attached

among the native merchants to the introduction of the
Stamp Act, had made public a notification, by which receipts
for money not exceeding fifty rupees, and. bills of ex-
change drawn more than one hundred miles from, and
not negotiated in Calcutta, are to be exempted from the
duty. The petition of the merchants against the stamp-
tax had been presented to the Government, and had been
met by a very temperate. and conciliatory reply, in which,
however, the legality of the impost is very strenuously de-
fended. .:Ebe subscribers .to the petition had subsequently
met, and had resolved on sending in a new representation,
praying a suspension 01 the tax pending a memorial to
Parliament. It appears by the most recent accounts from
Rangoon, that the surrender of the Taliens under the
treaty between the English and the f!.urmese, had led to a
series of the most. atrocious retaliatory cruelties on the part
of the Furmese, for the conduct of the Taliens during the
war. Numbers of them were put to death daily, by public
executions; and parties of Burmese had been sent out to
massacre thosb-who escaped into the jungles, with orders
to spare neither men, women, nor children. Two Bur-
mese Chiefs had even proceeded to Amherst, to demand
from Sir A. Calireuxr.t the surrender of some mho had
taken refuge under the English flag. These cruelties, as
might be expected, were exciting resistance, and a•Chief,
named °GEN A, bad assembled a large force, in the hope of
revenging the death of hie countrymen.
