We have already as they arri:ge,igiven detailed
accounts of the origin and pr s of the Poly-
gar warfare, which has for Tome time prevailed in
the Southern Provinces of Hindoßan. The late
difpatch has poffelfeci us of letters from the theatre ,
of salon, to the loth July, w:iich lead us to ap-
prehend that confiderable time and exertion will
be necelfary to reduce the infurger.ts.
China Niadoo, the chief of thefe Polygars, hav-
ing difpofed in fafety the floret which he obtained
by ticking the Nabob's fort on the frontiers of
Dindigul, had abruptly changed his route to Ma-
dura, and advanced rapidly towards Cheyhya-
tore, the fouth-ea,l part of which is bounded by
hills and jungles, almoil inacceflible to (!rangers:
here 1r had eitablithcd bimfelf, with five thoufand
infant. y and three thoufand cavalry, all well armed
and chiciplined, betides a raft number of pike and
matchlock-men, who defolate the villages, and ge.
nerally aft as precurfors to the army.
Accounts from Dingul, of the 25th July, men-
tion that an attempt had been ma.a to liberate the
Prineefs of Delhi from her confinement in that for!
trefs ; but Tome of thole engaged in the enterprife,
defpairing of fuccefs, difeovered the plats, and led
to the arra of the ringleaders.
Delhi, the capital of the Mogul Empire, which
continued wars had greatly reduced from its prif-
tine confequence, has lately been vifited by hot
winds to filch an uncommon degree, as to have
measly depopulated the place, and rendered Tome
of the fuburbs wholly untenanted; the grand ca-
nal has been dried up, as well as the baron and
fountains which it fupplied ; in short, Nature feetus
refolved to deltroy the little which had been (pared
by war and faftion.

On the loth of April, the period of a popular
fair among the Seiks in the neighbourhood of Hur-
waae, a number of Fakeers (itinerant priefls) at.
fembled for the profeffed purpofe of bathing ; but
they fhortly became fo troublefome to the natives
as to provoke an attack; the Seiks, arming them.
(elves for the occafion in the bet} manner the time
would allow. The pilgrims at firft made an °MU-
tate refiftancc, but in the iffue were touted ; three
hundred of them were killed on the !pot ; and re.
vcral hundreds more, who, in endeavouring to
reach the mountains, attempted to ford a river
much fwollen by the rains, were drowned.
Accounts from Condahar, of the sad of April,
!fate that the VAkcer Impoftor, who has affumed
the title of Sultaun Shah, having appeared on the
frontiers, Zemaun Shah had ordered a confidera-
blc force againft him, but nothing intimidated by
its approach, he made difpofitions to repulfe it,
and Co confident was he of fuccefs, that he had
ail,tttedthegovernmentsofthe towns and provinces
which he was to conquer to his followers : The
Cabul army, hoc; ever, by an unlooked-for move-
!..cnt. cmffed a branch of the Indus, and falling
ilpnr. his left wing, defeated it before the right
(.niti engage, thus compelling the impoftor to Tall
upwards of twelve Englith miles, with con.
liderable 'cis.

At the commencement of the campaign, this
l'a kcer's force comprifed upwards of 20,000 in-
v,p,;ncipaltyßohillas and Seiks, and 4000
cavalry, with fcreralfmall pieces of cannon. The
confidence of thcfe people ip their leader nearly
compeafates few their want of difcipline and, in
their Sril athon near Sarumpoor, enabled them
for Tome holm* to oppofe three battalions of Gene-
ral Pasitom, fupported• by an heavy cannonade
from the &gum of Sombre 's artillery Rationed on
the oppolite fide of a river. Ills numbers are mulch
educed, but he is kill fail to be iu funicient force
'c keep the field.
