EAST INDIES.

The following communication we have received
from a most respectable quarter. The unhappy dis-
putes between the Civil and Military Government of
Madras appear to have embarrassed the Governor-
General, and brought much inconvenience upon many
British mercantile residents:

" Madras, May 1:7..

. ,
e, We have forwarded to you duplicates of all the ;
correspondence that had passed between the bonafide
Creditors of the Nabobs and Government, from the
former dispatch, up to the day. You will see, we
still remain without any reply from Lord Minto to
our several memorials, and we now despair of re-
ceiving any. In addition to other reasons, which we
conjecture may have determined him not to give us
any reply, the disaffected state of the-army on this coast
may have had a great share in influencing his mind.
He cannot reply to our memorial without commit-
ting himself, or condemning this Government. His
attachment to the parties may not be strong enough
to induce him to expose himself by doing the first ;
and he may think disapproving of any of the acts of
this Government, at this moment, may be weakening
their authority. You will see, by the orders lately
issued by Government, the deplorable state of things
here. By removals which Government have made,
the society of Madras has completely changed within
these three months ; and by a bill against Reddy
Row, and others, for a conspiracy to defraud the
fund by means of a forged bond for pagodas (one
hundred and thirty-eight thousand), having been
thrown out by the Grand Jury a few days ago, it is
too much to be apprehended that the system of terror
has succeeded ; and it may be in rain hereafter, to
present indictments against the numerous forgeries
that are in existence, for the bills will not be found.
If justice is not altogether banished from England,
we may still hope that a few months will bring us a
change—but if iniquity is supported, as it has been
here, the real creditors have nothing left, but to burn
their bonds and go a begg:ng, leaving the fund
allotted for their benefit, to be enjoyed by a horde of
infamous forgers and perjurers."

DUTCH PiIPERS.

VIENNA, SEPT. 18.

His Majesty the Emperor and King went on Fri-
day to Krems, to review the corps of Marshal the
Duke of Ragusa, and returned on Tuesday evening
by the time of commencing the performance at the
theatre of Schoenbrunn, where some Italian and Ger-
man pieces we're represented.
Every morning there is a grand parade on the
plain, in front of the palace. of Schoenbrunn. His
Majesty has, within these few days, reviewed there
the different Wirtembeig corps, and General Ques-
nel's division of light cavalry.
On the 9th, his Majesty visited the camp of Wa-
gram, consisting of the various divisions which com-
pose the corps of Marshal Oudinot.—Ou his way
back, he rode through this city, in his chariot and
eight, escorted by a party of horse-grenadiers, be-
longing to his guards.
On the 10th, he had a grand parade at Schoen-
brunn. Besides the guards, it was attended by a re-
giment of Wirtemberg light horse, and about four
hundred French prisoners, recently exchanged.
The Austrian General Count Von Bubna has
again arrived at Schoenbrunn, on a mission from
Tofis. He resides at his own house in Vienna. lie
aepeared in his regimentals at the parade of the 10th.
The inhabitants are in expectatiou that the dispatches
he was charged with will accelerate the conclusion of
peace. The armistice is prolonged, though the period
of its dinettion has not been notified in daily orders
t either army. It is, however, rumoured, that the
3 )th of October is the day appointed for tke renewal
o ; but the fixing upon so distant a day,
strengthens the pacific indications held out by the
continuance of the negociations at Alteuhurgh.
The want of fire-wood began to be seveiely felt,
when the French Government granted the piece of
brushwood adjeiairg Schoenbrunn, for the relief of
the more necessitous classes of the inhabitants of this
capital. All of them are hurrying thither to lay in
thee- stock of fire-wood, wind; some fetch in carts,
and others carry en their backs. The impie,vidence
of the late Adminiszration of Vienna is assigned as the
cease of the present scarcey of wood and wine. Lime
the armistice a cons;derable supply has been-procured
from Hungary. The inhabitants, nevertheless, may
oa ihe whole, think themselves timunate, when they
compere their situation with that of the Bohemian:.
The posse.ion of Poland by the allied troops has
cerorletialy cut off their supplies of gt..in and cattle.
The part of Mori via which the Austrians still occupy
cannot meintain itself ; and the scanty supply of pro-
visions which they can draw from Hungary must be
brought from the other side of the Jabluoica.
The Austrian Emperor, in his last general orders,
adverts to the prcleugatinn of the armistice, his as-
sent to which, he says, " is to be attribu•,ed, not to a
-sense of feelleness, but to his affection for
his sub_
jects, and Irs anxitty to avert from Clem the calami-
ties of war." His Majesty, in this produc6ena ee.

peas the assuftnce with which the general order of
the 16th concludei.

ERLANGEN, SEPT. IS.

A person who has arrived here from the grand ar-
my affirms, that a new armistice has been concluded
for the period of one month, on the condition, that,
should peace not take place within that term, hostili-
ties shall not recommence until a month after the ex-
piration of the armistice.
