CAI CUTTA, MARC!-! 2.

A letter from a gentleman attached to the Embassy
to Cabool, contains a short ar;olint of their progress
to the Camp near Derah Ismael Khan, whence the
letter is d.,..ed on t!-.e 13th January. The following
extract lac been kindly communicated to us :
" We left Deblee on the 12th of October, and in a
few days quitted the Company's provinces.
" The county+ is almost a desart from the frontier
to the Gharrah, which liver we reached on the 26th
of November. The town of Bikancer is in the mid-
dle of the desart, and about the time of our arrival
there, we lost forty people, from the effects of fatigue
and the badness of the water. We remained at Bika-
neer for ten days, during which time the town was
surrounded, and almost completely blockaded, by
the army of the Rajah of Jundpoor and his allies.—
Having left that place, we marched to Bhawulpoor,
a town near the Gharrah, and found this by far the
worst part of the desart. We had made every possi-
ble arrangement for the carriage of water, and were
greatly assisted by Bhawul Khan, the Prince of the
country between Bikaneer and Moultaun. He sent
some hundred camels, laden with water, to meet us
in the desart, under the escort of a party of troops,
also mounted on camels, forming a fine-looking, and,
they say, an efficient sort of cavalry. Camels are
here much more commonly used than horses, and I
often rode them for many mile's. •
" We remained on the banks of the Oharrah for
near a fortnight, and from thence reached Moultaun
in four or five marches. The town is large, walled,
and p"ssessed of a citadel. The Governor, who is
a Suddoo Zyc, (the name of the King of Cabool's
tribe), exchanged visits with us ; but as he did not
seem to relish our being encamped so close to his
walls, we moved on in a few days to the Chenaub or
Asecines, on the banks of which we remained several
days. We at last reached the Indus on the sth of
this month (January ), and crossed at the Ghaut (here
called Patton) of Kyheearee. We marched up to
the right bank, and arrived at this place on the 11th
instant.

" We are now waiting for the King's commands
respecting our advance, which we expect hourly to
receive. We shall meet him at Peiblia,vnr, where he
s just arrived, and where he generally spends the
winter, which is less severe there than at Cahoot"

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PEIERSEURGH, SEPTEMBER e.

The negotiations for peace still continue in Fried-
richshamm. Count Rcmanznw has been there up-
wards of four weeks. Baron Stedingk is indisposed ;
and the Danish Ambassador at this Court, Baron
Blome, has set out for Fl iedrichshamm, to take an
active share in the negotiations.—Count Schinvilar,
who commanded our forces in Sweden with so much
success, having been seized with a severe fit of illness,
the command in chief has devolved on General Ka-
minskav, son of the Field Marshal of that name who
was lately murdered by one of his servants.
According to atehentic information received from
our army in Moldavia, our troops crossed the Da-
nube on the 25th July. General Sass advanced
thereupon, on the 30th, against the Castle of Tsakt-
&hi, from wia-ace the 'l'm ks retreated to the fl)rtress
of Tultsha, ..hich, however, was also abandoned by
the enemy, and taken po-session of by our troops.
Lieutenant-General PlatoCP, on the 2d of last
month, welt 'possession of Padad ; the Turks saved
themselves by fli;j)t, leaving behind 22 pieces of
cannon and a citeintity of stores and provisions.
In consequence of our troops having possessed
themselves of the tin-tress of our two flotillas
which were statiwled n •ar Galaz and at the month
of th- Dantib, has lot med a junction, and the Isle
of 'f shatal is also occupied by our troops. The head-
quarters were removed on the 3!i August from Ga-
laz to the opposi!e banks of the Danube, and a camp
has been funned near the mouth cf the Bay of

On the I Stb of last month, irtc:lirience was receiv-
ed of the death of Fkid Marshai Count Prosorow ski,
Commander-in-Chief of WIT forces on the Danube,
who is succeeded in that command by Prince Bra-
gration, General of Infintry.
Count Stadic.n still continues at the head of the
department of foreign affair'. A Lute report of 11;s
having given in his resi!oration to the Emperor of
Aro;tria is, therefore, rnOinucled.

In co-sequence of several masters of lonian ships
in Coiist.mtinoCe having put themselves in a state of
insurrection against the Emperor of the French, tin-
der the protection of the English Ambassasfor, and
hoisted the col,:urs at the iOrmer republic of the
Seven Is!ands, their estates in their native country
have beet conti.scaied.
