FAST INDMS.

CALCUTTA, OCTOBER is.
Tt is noticeable that the latea European advice.
that have at prefent reached either Bombay, Madras,
or Calcutta, ore thofe received via America.
We have been furnithed with a immber of New
South Wales papers, brought from Sydney, by Cap-
tain Forret ; we have copied into this day's paper,
a few articles of intelligence.
The crops of wheat and maize, in the different
fettlements in New South Wales, had (offered confi
derable damage from unufually heavy and long con
tinued rains, which canting the river to overflow,
the country, in many difiridts, was completely in

undated.
Tip-pa-he, one of the principal Chiefs of New
Zealand, with five of his Inns, made a voyage to
Sydney, to pay a vilit of refpeft to Governor King
He was received with every mark of attention by
the Government, and by the Ladies and Officers of

the fettlement.
His Majetty's brig, the Lady Nelfon, was fitted
up for the accommodation of 'lip pa-he ; and, after
remaining two or three months with Governor
King, he embarked on board the Lady Nelfon, on
his return fur New Zealand, in March or April
lark, loaded with prefents from the Government,
and the eifferent families in Sydney. The Chief
was overwhelmed with gratitude for the attention
and numerous favours he received ; and would carry
to his native land a very favourable impreffion of
the Blitifh charaCier, which, in the fcquel, may be
productive of much national good ; f in that re
mote, and hitherto little frequented region, we can
difcern new f,urces of wealth and maritime prof
pet-4y opened to the enterptifing fons of Great
B.itain.
A whale fifhery has been recently eflablifhed on
the coatis of New Zealand, and ptomifes fpeedily
to rife to great importance. An intercourfe has
been opened with the natives on the fea fhores, who
are reprefented as much more docile than when firli
Uncovered. Ntatoes, and many other ufeful Euro-
pean vegetables, intraduced among them of late
years, by fome of the Englifh fhipc, are found to
thrive afloniffiingly ; and the natives, contrary to
expectation, are attentive to their cultivation, and
already raife confiderable quantities for their cwn
fupply.
DEC. to.—The official notification of the death of
the King of Delhi, arrived on Saturday laft, at cne
o'clock, when a funeral falute was fired from Fort
William, according to the ufual form, in minute
guns, extending to 78, being the number of years of
age obtained by the deceafed King.
A royal falute fucceeded, in commemoration of
the acceffion of Ackber Shaw, fecond fon of Shaw
Albin), to the throne of Delhi.
The demife of the late King of Hindoftan, and
the immediate fucceffien to the throne, have occa
finned no tumult or commotion. F tir troops of
cavalry matched from Allyghur for Delhi, (non after
the receipt of the intelligence.
The lately deceafed King pc:Oared an energetic
mind, through irtefulme, indolent, and unfortunately'
prone to yield to the courifels of others. When flit
lowing his own unbiafTed judgment, Shaw Allum
uniformly evinced himfelf the friend and faithful
ally of the Englith Government; and it was from
this Prince, that, in 1765, Lord Clive obtained the
&mann, conllituting the Edit lndia•Company per-
petual Dewan of the great and opulent countries of
Bengal, Behar, and Orifra.—The misfortunes that
attended Shaw Allum, fuhfequently to that event,
and the ill advifed meafure of quitting Allahabad,
were to be attributed entirely to the influence rtfl
Maltratta Counfels. The revolution effected by
Golloud Mahommed, in 1793, when the uttfortu
nate King was inhumanly deprived of his eyes,
muft be frellt in the memory of the majority of our
readers.
It is confolatory to reflzet that this Prince, a lineal
defcendant of the Houfe of Tamur, after a feries cf
years, ignotninioufly palled under the cantroul of a
foreign power, was reamed to independence, by the,
juliice and valour of that nation, to whole fuccefsful
eliablithment in Hindoit:n he had !linden fa fully
contributed.

degree exhaufled itfelf, but the loft accounts unfortu•
nately prove that the hope was fallacious, and that
even when the Tit SSE us came away, farther mifchief
was apprehended. It appears that in almon all
cares, where parties have furvived the tiro attack of
the difeafe, their lungs have fuller ed from the vio-
lence of its operation ; and are now fa debilitated
and confumptive, that little hope is ewe' tained of
their recovery.
The mortality has been moll among the refpeft-
able inhabitants of the ifland, and more fatal in St.
James's Valley, than in the thinly inhabited parts of
the country. Among the perfons who have fallen
vietims to the difeaft, we are lorry to enumerate
Mrs. Bazett, Mrs. John des Fountaine, Mrs. Samuel de Foam
taint, Mrs. James de Formulae, Mrs. Shirtley, fen. Mrs. Seale,
fen. Mrs. Alefworth, and her Sifter, Major Shirtley, Mr. Stephen
Pritchard, Mr. James Mafon, Mrs. Pritchard, fen. Mrs. Good-
win. Mrs. Beale, Mrs. Bagley, fen. Mrs. William Dutton, Mrs.
Thomas Greentree, Mrs. Dentalf, Mrs. Maus Bagley, Mr.Jobu
Seale—

And many other inhabitants, whole names we have
not been able to afcertain, to the number alygether,
including children, fervants, and {laver, of 150 per.
Eons. We are concerned to add, that Mifs Macon,
Mr. Ballet, and Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel Dufton, were
very ill when our accounts left the Maud.

being (poke by one of the floor, was informed by
Ishe Officer who boarded, that their deflination was

\terwards changed their cootie (he imagines in con-
fequence of afcertaining from him the land in fight),
1 Senegal he conceives to be the object of their enter-
prize.
