CAMP, 00CHAR, JAN. 23.-1 HUI now able to
send you the particulars of .Major CLARKE'S IV.-
fair With the Poidarees, in the following extract
nom General Orders issued yesterday, and vu
%vi I I see it has been no trifling business, and ire
what contempt our Pindaree enemies are now
held. The order is dated the 20i h—issued 221:
" The Commandtr-in-Chief feels it inciimbent
to publish to the army the de,aili of an attack
made by Major CI oke, with the sth regiment of
Bengal Native Cavulty, on the remains of the
united l'indaree hordes of Kurreem Khan and
Mohamed, early in the morning of the
13th January.
" 7 be ability with which this affair 'vas con-
ducted is oo less conspicuous from the details be-
fore his Excellency, than from the brilliant re,ults
which Cr) tied it.

" It. a 1 ars that Major Clarke, after several
hours' march, came within a shout dis!ance of the
position in which he had ascertained that the ene-
my were res'iug ; but as this was still during the
night, the Nlajor, with excellent judgment, re-
solved to deter the attack until there should be
light enough to allow the discipline of his troop
its full advantage ; and he 'acconhigly remained
for three bolos in the vicinity of the enemy, with-
out being discovered.
" At 5 o'clock the sth cavalry moved forward
in two columos of halt squadrons, taking the Pin-
darees completely by s,liptise, and rowed them
%vith the loss of heady 1000 killed. The pursuit
was kept up for many unties with great effect, and
the regiment then returned to 'Lieut.-Colonel
Adam's camp, atter going a distance of 60 miles
in 13 hours.

" Such decided success could only have resulted
from a happy combination of steady discipline
and persevering gallantry; qualities for which the
sth Native Cavalry kis always stood eminently
conspicuo,,s.

" The Commander-in-Chief desires that 'Major
Clarke, Captain Kennedy, and every officer and
soldier engaged, will aceupt Ilk acknowledgments
and thanks tor their zealot's and successful exer-
tions on the prrsent occasion."

There have been several other orders issued since
I wrote, bit all of minor importance and interest
to you. You shall now have the best pall o!
them. On Tuesday there came out au order ot
11), 16th, directing the transfer of his Majesty's
67th regiment flout Bengal to tile division of the
liotehay army under Sir W. licit•. On the same
day, one ot the 17th, directing a new corps of
frontier horse to be raised for immediate service.
The strength, establishment, allowances, &c. to
be in all respects the sante as in the other corps
of kohilla horse. Captain Sneyd, of the Ist la-
the cavalry, to command, and his brother, Lieut.
Sneyd, of his Majesty's Bth dragoons, to he Ad-
jutant. Its the saute order, what •is of rather
inure interest, the Ist and 3d brigade of cavalry
are reported to be broken up from that date, and
all staff appointments connected therewith to
cease accordingly ; and yesterday Captain Fitz-
gerald, of the 6th cavalry, is us orders, as Persian
laterpeter, and Extra Aide-de-Camp to the Com-
mander-in-Chief from the 7th January. This, 1
think, is the stint and substance of Isis Lordship's
orders. Now for the other news of camp.
On the 20th we heard that the Veishwa, with
his whole army, had been gallantly beaten off,
by about 550 of the Bombay army. He ►wade se-
veral attacks upon them, but in all was repulsed.
Our loss was considerable, and among these se-
veral officers are included. One of our guns had
got disabled and unmanageable, this the Peisbwa
is reported to have been carried off on au elephant.
We look forward with certainty to the army break-
ing up about the end ot the mouth. It is not likely
to be,howeveroill the officer arrives with tlir treaty
with Holkar, and be is yet about five marches Iron
us. All the troops, it is said, are to go into canton •
meats, excepting two or three battalions which go
clown to General Marshall, with the battering
train. TheSth, 13th, 24th, and 25th, are talked
of for this duty. Twenty guns arc on the way
from Shere-Ghur for the service, and the forts to
be taken are said to be Ratghur and Sagur, both of
them hill-forts and strong, but the former espe-
cially so. •
They talk of introducing appointments by brevet
into the army; and all the Officers are in big.,
spirits, and full of the advantages of which it will
be productive. His Lordship is said to have
found much difficulty in rewaroing merit on many
occasions, and can only do it by giving a staff
appointment, whi h retun-ves a man from the very
situation in which he has made himself conspi-
cuous, and in which he is perhaps most calculated
to shine. Captain Fitzgerald is an instance. Sir
J. Malcolm is said to have been consulted op the
subject, and to have given it his decided appro-
bation, and the measure is reported to have gone
home for the consideration of the Direction,
highly recommended by the Governor-General.
It will have one great advantage., that of afford-
ing an opportunity for young and active men to
hold commiands.

A Court-Alartial sat yesterday on a private of
the European Regiment, who shot a corporal of
the saute corps the day before ; the poor mail
died in the course of the day. The ball had
passed through the lungs. the prisoner was tried
tor mutiny, and found guilty, and is expected to
be shot to•morrow ; he had been reprimanded on
parade by his Officer, and threatened to be pu-
nished; on going home he loaded his piece, with
the determination of shooting the Oftictr: three
different times he %sent ro his teat, hut luckily did
not find him; the corporal carne before and
told him he was ordered to put him in confine-
ment ; he lowered his piece, and without the least
appearance of passion, fired it at the poor man.

WING AND SPIRIT 'fRADE,--GRERNOCK, Au-
OUST 14.—We understand that the Lords COM-
missioners of his Majesty's Treasury, in answer
10 a petition from the Trade here, complaining of
loss and inconvenience sustained through a 11116t10
derstanding between the Officers of Excise, as to
the gauging of wine and spirits at importation,
have desired the Commissioners 01 Customs and
Excise to direct their Officers, in future, to adopt
the mode practiced in England, which we are in-
formed is more favourable to the trade than that
hitherto iu use here.

DUKE AND DUCHTSS OF CLARENCE.

UTRECHT, AUG. 12 ---Their Royal Highnesses
the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, and suite,
arrived here last evening. Count Munster, who
preceded them on their journey, had prepared the
good Hollanders to expect them ; and when they
came to the Hotel of the city of ,A,,twern, their
carriages were surrounded by a .VASt COTIC011t•e
of people, anxious to see 'he mother of u 4
tn-
ture Sovereign of England. Tile Duke, with
his usual good humour, conversed freely ,ith he
broad-bottomed natives, and the ILchess seemed
pleased with their acelimations I. is the inten-
tion of their Royal Highnesses to r,side for the
present in a palace assigned to them by the l'i ince
Regent at Hanover ; but in certain events, the
accouchement of the Duchess or the death of the
Queen, they will return to England. Their Royal
Highnesses propose !o travel a good deal in Ger-
many, and the first journey of the Duke from
Hanover will he to Aix-la-Chapelle in October
next, when the grand Congress will be assembled.
The Duke and Duchess, with their suite, quitted
Utrecht this morning, at nine o'clock. They go
through Westph,lia to Osnabruck, Deventer and
Hanover. His Royal Highness is attended by
his. domestic Physician, and appears in excellent
health. The Duchess is not pretty in the face,
but her figure is goof..
As we are now drawing our delightful tour to a
clo•e, I must refer for the present particulars re-
lating to Cartel, and the lovely country by which
it is surrounded, as well as the vile and miserable
and inhospitable towns we .passed through in
Westphalia, fammis for hams, and certainly well
suited to hogs. GiPerland is. no better ; but
Arnheim is a tine Dutch town, full of comfort.
A more filthy people, and 11 conntrF in a snore
wretched state, scarcely exist, as I should !rink,
and as is confirmed to me by one of my experienc-
ed companions, than the North of Germany, and
especially the neighbourhood of Hamburgh.
