BOMBAY, Die.. 1.
The intelligence of this month i in the until', UP"
important ; the chief interest attaches to the affairtt of
the Southern Mahra,tta country, which stilt continue
much dtsturlied. The seeqiul. of the two principal
forts, for some time besieged. hes fallen. to Out bands
by surrender, but' the country continues full 91
coops. Colonel Ovan,
.the ni•wly-appointed real'
:lent, has fallen into the e;g.N, hands, and is kept
by them a prisoner. An ititurrocion has broken
out in the S.wunt Warree country; and in'the tic°
together an army of nearly 8,000 men is. oecupied
in quelling disturbance. Everything continues
tranquil in Sinde. The health •of the tinnls,
in the lower country is good. At Shikarpore and
Sukkur sickness prevails to a very alarming extent
Her Majesty's 78th Regiinent, with the exception Of
about 100 men, is wholly in hospital; out of about
1,000 Cavalry and Native Infantry at Shikarpore,
between 700 and 800 are in hospital. The Punitilb,
chiefs have become reconciled to each other, Ana
comparative tranquillity reigns in the country of the
Five. Rivers. There 'seem to be time slight disco)!
tents in Gwalior, but not such as to occasion alarm'
Peace and prosperity 'preyail throughout India et
large. Sir Henry. Hardinge has continued since his
arrival constantly at Calcutta, and seems to have
been gaining golden opinions of all sorts of people,
His administration promises to be a plain, practiced,
and, peaceful one. The state of education arnoilVt the
natives was the first thing -to receive his attention,
and seems to occupy a most prominent plitee,:i4
mind. The encouragement of science, and the.'Plv
motion of domestic improvement—the improvement,
of agriculture—the opening up of fresh Toads—fru
the construction of bridges, have .all received mod
or less attention. The moat peace-loving suffer foil
no fears; the most war-loving entertain no .hopes
conquest or invasion under the 'present 'rule.
twelvemonth of such management will, .get..rit;t
the excess of expenditure over income, lately amottoti
ing to about a million and a half sterling.
;month
,onth more may bring back the auspicious state
iroatters which prevailed in the earlier part of Lot°
Auckland's administration, when we .had two. million
a year of surplus revenue. News from China fr
tend to the 10th of. October, but it is entirely cern'.
mercial, and not very important. So extensive b°'
adulteration been practised at Bombay that MUIO
opium is quoted at 50 dolls. to 750 dolls., and is get'
Ling rapidly out at repute, so. that the swindlers Ws.
their reward in a ruined niarket..

The Ist of the month. falling on Sunday pod'
pones by a day the dispatch • of the strainer.; but, is
fact, a single paper in, former, days ikaii wont t'
contain snore intelligence of interest • than a wboi°
month in these piping times of peace c3n supply
Curiously enough this insignificant , insurrection
in the southern Mahratta country engages more of
our troops than Lord Keane had with him at .6hur
nee or Caubul in the year 1839—nearly twice
many as Sir Charles Napier had under his Commad
at Meanee or Dubba. When I last wrote you tlo
Fort of Samunghur had been captured, and the arri
of General Delamotte bad marched from Kohipore'
As he approached the capital the malcontents, to tb,
amount of about 3,000 men, retired on 13athudghur9°
hill fort, considerably stronger than that previotisif
captured, which was held by about 1„000 Grudkurriegs
men holding their lands on military tenure, the inter
ference with which is :said to have given rise to OS
insurrection. A wing of the 2d Queen's Royalitegi''
ment with the 14th Light Dragoons and her Ms'
jesty's 22d 'Regiment, having proceeded: direCtly -600
POonah to Kolapore, were left there while Genera!
Delamotte proceeded with about 3,000 'men, in que't
of the. insurgents. lie arrived before. the fort on till
Bth, having exparieneed4ome altirmishing on the will:
While waiting under the walls until the batterinigul
could be brought up, the chiefs came into :camp OP
made submission on the 10th, A light detachtge,fl:,:
having been gent out to take posseasion of
.the fah'
now promised to be made over to them, was detain
for four hours before, the gate . Treachery_ '
turned out to have been practised, and. while we.wely
waiting without the whole of , the IColapore,malcori
tents were making theirO.scipe ,by 'the other .side
the fortress. A light detachment having been 110!
after them; under the Commandof Col. Wallaceo!!#;
too late in starting. to. make up with them,
.ao 00'
while the fortress was made over to us, the gartirS--
escaped ua., „Having left the. light,,,deiachrneutso
occupy Bathudghur, General Delamotte, on the ,
'l2th, broke up his camps, and I prepared:, for, a,,,
turn toAolapore. Colonel Outram, in, the . mean',
While, having either resigned 114 appointment or
been superseded (for it elces not ;appear whethfr
the act was his own or that Of. Government), 'Co'
lonel Ovens, resident of Sattarah, waa 01:;
dered to proceed to Kolapore
charge. On his, way from the ma ,place to. the'
other he was waylaid and made prisoner on the 17th,
and is now detained by the enemy in one of their hill
forts.. He. has- been treated with every kindness and
attention by his captors, and, is pertnitted to oorre'
apond with his friends ; but the untoward circual'
stance of his detentiep.in the hands of the rebels h°
occasioned . much delay and eMbarrassment in ' t!'°'
prosecution of further arrangements.' Meanwhile, Sl3,
insurrection has broken out iii the ,-Saw.unt.Warree''''
country, adjoining Kolapore, which, though
ficant in itself, is a source of gre4t:lrinuyanpe 0;0
as it compels us to have a considerable fOrce the'
country. The light Mahratta troops flit about with
such celerity, ,ana, are so skilful in taking advaV
tage of the strong positions with which the Ghauta
abound, that to send out very light
.detachments
quest of , them is :unsafe, and to have heavy; 00::
requires a large military establishment. Who'
may be the nature of„ the grievances of the *n PI,
malcontents does :not at all appear. A chief, sib°
gave us much annoyance in , 1838, appears to 124.Y°
considered himself affronted in some way or other''';
and to have taken to plundering the country as th°
means of avenging himself on Government. Unfor
tunately he managed to prevail on the young Prines
of Warree to join him, and by this means to give!'
colour
-of right to the insurrection, as if the znalcoP•*- ,
tents were supporting native . authority in opposila

Warree insurrection reached Bombay, a. wing '42f till

Queen's Royals quartered at Colaba, .and
had been 'Suffering' excessively froth sickness!,
was dispatched by steam to Vingola, in . the neigh'
