!MAC? OT A L 7 TTER FROM AN OFFICER, DATED
GOA, JULY 7, t Soo.
Colonel WELLESLEY has taken the field with an
army, again(} an Adventurer named DCONDEAH
WING, who has collefted a vail number of fol-
lowers, principally cavalry, and committed depre-
dations on the boundary of our newly-acquired
territory of Soondah.

DOONDIAH, on the 29th of June, engaged tind
completely routed a body of the Pefhwa s troops,
under Doomris PUNT GOLDA the latter fled, and
took refuge under the walls of our fort of Halli •
hall, in Suondah. DOONDEAH came fo near in the
purfuit, as to make it neceffary for the guns to
open on him, which faun checked him. Juft as
this fcene was aeting, an officer, with a fmall ef-
con of fepoys, was conveying cash from hence for
the ufe of the garrifon of HZlihall, and got fafe
into the place, when it was nearly furrounded by
the enemy's honk. Door+ DEAN is Rill in the neigh-
bourhood of Hallihall, but keeps at a refpeftful
diftance from the guns: Colonel WELLESLIT is
hourly expeded in that neighbourhood. Hallihall
is about eighty miles from hence, above the
Ghants, and is garrifoned principally with native
Sepoys fent from hence. I have no fears for it,
though DOODDIAH has not lets than ao,ooo men
in the neighbourhood.
A circumftance of an extraordinary nature has
lately taken place in the Southward. A party of
, Kanarefe recruits, principally compofed of men
formerly in Tit voo's fervice, deferted in one night
from Mangalore to the number of 300, with a
difaffeeledliavildar at their head, made their way
to the hill fort of Jemaulabad (s place which had
coil much time and trouble, and fome lives to our
pcople, to get pact:lion of) furprized the garri-
fon, murdered the Officer commanding (Lieute-
nant ALLEN, of the Honourable Company's ter
vice), and took poffeffion of the place, which, in
fpite of an army fent again& them, under the com-
mand of Lieut. Colonel CUMINI, of the 75th re-
giment, who had with him a mortars, and a train
of artillery, they kept from the 17th of April to
the r9th of June, when it was retaken • but not
till after the garrifon, all but four men, had made
their efcape.

Preparations are making at Madras for the em-
barkation of troops. The rzth regithent, and Come
