the India Company is in a high Rate of cultivation;
it extends from Byona to Railhlpoor, and comprifes
the torts and villages of Nagror, Raree, Dogetmee,
and Junjeah.
In order to guard againa treachery from any of
the Muhratta Chieftains, and probably with a view
to coerce them to obedience, the fulifidiary forces
have formed aline of fining polls along the frontiers
oldie Bin.s.era and Poonah Rates.
The Gwicawar is gradually reducing his Arab
force, which had become formidable even to himfelf,
and in a ferious deg. _e ungovernable. In this TTICA•
fine he has been aiiiited by the Bengal Government :
their arrears have been paid, and their retirement
from the- tervice has nut yet produced any of the dau-
.gerons elites apprehended from it.
A peunattent eaablithment has taken place in the
faohire and Guntaor Circar. The divifion into e Rates
or fate, where the proprietary right was in the Com-
pany, as in the Jagliire, has been nude in the Bara

The ciatries m Bengal and Madras, inflead of be-

bonds, to fupply the lace of a number of Aram
:seers, who have re-emigrated, in confequence of an
invitation from the Rajah. to occupy an advanta-
geous fituation on the oppofite of the Naaf. Since
the above people have inhabited •the Sondeibunds,
they have been principally engaged in carting down
the jungles, repairing the r..ads, and draining the
axarfiacs. The tigers which ufed to infea the woods
have smell been exterminated, and the lands pro-
duce large quantities of funn and hemp of good qua-
lify. The fwarms*of pirates which lately interrupt-
ed the navigation of the Nag' have nearly been fub-
deed, ai..4 Come fine trading veleta have been launch-
ed from its bunks.
We underßand that the province of Cattack, for.
snerly belonging to the Berar Rajah, the ally of Sein-
dia, will be occupied by the Britith forces—a line of
which will be drawn along the coati, in order to pre-
vent die introdueion of Frenchmen on this fide the
Peninfula. It was by this route that the recruits for
ritltON'S army proceeded, without exciting fulpi-
cion, and with the greateft feerecy, to the head quar-
ters of that General, when in the zeuith of his power
in the Dorztb.
Letters have been received front Bufforah, which
mention the revival of commotions in the neighbour-
hood of Aftracan. - They fur fume time wore a

by the vigilance of that Government. The fortifi
rations ache city have been repaired at an immenfe
axpence, and a flupeudous range of warelionfes
have been erected in confequenee of the increafe of
the trade with Perfia, and the encouragement given
to commerce by the King of Perfia, who feems
wifely to Kiefer the good of his fubjeus to the ex-

tention of his territories. The Ruffian Government
has introduced tome confiderahle improvements in
the military intlitutions of the Kalmucs. Some
new corps have been railed for the defence of the fron-
tiers and fecurity of the interior. A line of ports will

Ramjeft Sing, the prefent Rajah of Bhurtpoore, is

once molt powerful nation of the Jaats. At the time
of Scindia's entrance into Hindoftan, this Chieftain
rendered him effential Cervices ; and his family have
ever fine been held in the higheft efteem, and have
received extraordinary indulgences from that Prince,
who has now interefted himfelf in the arrangement of
the pending negotiations between him and the Bri.
tifh Government. _

roar of laughter.

immediately tent for the mother and the three children,

Laronefs overcome with fenlibility. wept bitterly,
took the mother and infants by the hand, and fettled
a handforae annuity on the fon, and ordered him to
be placed under proper tuition. On the mother, and
each of the daughters, the Baronets alfo fettled a
liberal annuity.
Thurfday fe'nnight, Monfienr J. P. Defgranche,
one of the French prifoners of war on parole at Chef
terfield, took French leave of that place, in defiance of
his parole engagement.
A Prrphetcfs, and " dealer in defliny's dark coon-
fels," named MARY Cnsaroew, who for a length of
years has labourtd in the vocation of fortune-telling,
was charged with dealing a filver fpoon. It appeared

ftreet Police.otlice.—A man named Pearce, one of
the unfortunate (offerers at the dreadful fire in
Adam.flreet, Portman-fqnare, feveral months fince,
preferred a complaint againft a very artful boy, in
order to recover a watch he had loft at the fire. It
was Rated by a perfon who lodges with the boy's
parents, that the youth brought home the watch
in quertion, trying he had found it in the rains.—
His mother, intlead of fearching for the owner, as
common humanity, after fuch a dreadful accident as
fire, ought to have stimulated her to have done, took
no notice whatever, but only remarked that her fon
was a he* fellow, and defired him again tc go to the
shins, that he might not be out of fortune's way.
Pearce, the complainant, lately heard thefe cireum-
fiances, and on invelligating the matter a little far-
ther, he difcovered that his watch had been fold for
28s. The Magiftrate very jufily and feverely repro-
bated the conduit of the mother., and ordered the boy
to be difeharged, on her paying a ft= adequate to
the redemption of the time-piece the had fo impro-
perly fold.
