Yellerday difpatches from India were received at
the India Houfe, brought by Lieut./4.11am.
This Gentleman quitted Bengal on the 31 ft of Jan.
in a Danith Blip. Before his departure. an account of
fume new !needles againit HOLZAIL had been offici-
ally publifhed. After the advantages gained over
the enemy on the t 7th of November, Houses took
(better in the thong fort of Deeg, under the walls of
which was encamped the remnant of his army...—
General LARS, with a Rrong force, fame time in the
beginning of December, invelled the place, made a
gallant attack Upon it, and forced HOLICAIL to retreat
to Bartapoor, which is conidered as his Lilt refunrce,
where be was joined by the Rajah of that place.—
General LARK refolved to give him no refpite, but
put fued him with the intention of attacking him in
this pofition, and in the early part of January fat down
before that fortrefs.

On the loth the Army effected a breach ; an at.
tempt was then made to carry the place by florm.
The florming party was under the command of Col.
MAITLAND: but notwithflanding the bravery dif-
played by our troops and the natives, the attempt
failed, with a great lots of Officers and men, but
not nearly fo confiderable as that &Rained by the
Enemy. Colonel MAITLAND, who led on the troops,
unfortunately fell in the early part of the adios.
He was a gallant Officer, and his death was greatly
deplored by the Army. Of the 75th Regiment
there alto fell two Captains ; four Lieutenants were
wounded, and forty-five rank and file killed and
wounded. The sad Regiment, and the Company's
troops, fuffered a proportionate lots in rank and 6k, '
but not in officers. NotwithflanJing this:repulfe the
fall of the place was confulered as certain. The ene-
my were confiderably reduced in numbers, chiefly
in eonfequence of the daily defertign of their men to
General LANA, who has thus been made acquainted
with Hoiva's deplorable fituation. It was confi
dently afferted in India, that the belt body of cavalry
which Hoa.waa poffered, to the number of 7000,
had joined Genetal Laze. So certain was the Ge-
neral of the total fubjedion of Houten, that he had
refuted to grant him any terms, notwithflanding his
repeated offers to capitulate. The lake letter from
General LAX ato the MarquisWs assay, was mit-
ten in the confidence of fuccefa, and was to the fol-
lowing effee

"We are preparing to attack Houtsa. All will
be over in a few days. I have no doubt of the refult.
When this is done. our work will be completely
nilhed. I hope to find here a fulficiency to reward
the courage and hall toils of my followers."

The above intell*ence encourages us to hope, that
Ibould the Toulon Squadron be defined to the Eaft
Indies, the French will end the war with HOLICAR at
an end, and our t►oops in a fituation to meet them.
We are the more inclined to indulge this opinion, as
we have reafon to believe, that immediately after the
failing of the Combined Squadrons from Cadiz, on
the toth of April, Sir JolikOasa difpatehed a fait.

Indies, to give Ss Par infbmities.
