NEW WAR IN INDIA.

A contidcrable degree of alarm lately pervaded
our new conqueils in India, by the intended intr...
dation of European laws into Myfore; the Britifh
Government has, in confequence; deemed it necef-
fary to declare, that the rights of fathers and !Tur-
rets of famine:, as exercised by the Hindu and
Mahomedan laws, are to be preferved to them ;
and that any at% faaiioned by the rules or laws of
Call, fo far as refpeets the members of tix fame
family only, is not to he deemed a crimc,or cogni 7.
able by Any Criminal Court of Janice, al:Plough it
be not jiiftitiable by the laws of Eriglan.L.

The military cflablilhmcnt in India, by the con-
folidation of our empire there, and the confequent
contra Rion of frontier po!I:, is lhortly to be re-
duced. The India Company by their late treaties,
receive an aditional revenue of about 25 lacks of-
pagodas, or near one million flerling per annum-
Colonel URBAN VIGORS is appointed by the Gu-
vernment of Madras to command the fulalidiary
force ferving with the Nizam, in the room of the
late GeneraIDALRYMPLF; and Colonel F. Gem:me
fucccrds Colonel VIGORS in the command of the
northern divifion of the army.

14,-Ad-quaricri of the Myhre Army, Dec. 15.

We expeeletlthat the defeat of DOO4 DE A It 'A'O'ed
have terminated our toils, and that we tbnuld have
been allowed leifure to recover from the extraor-
dinary fatigue to which that bold adventurer bAd
fubjeted us; but it teems that we are doomed to
a perpetuity of warfare, and that the fuppretlion
of one enemy is but the figual for fume new op-
ponent to Rart into the lifts. We arc under orders
to march againfl the Catiote Rajah. 1 do not
know the entire occaflon of holt ilitics, but,fram the
extraordinary natural and artificial defences of the
country, and the extenfive preparations of the
enemy, we are to look for more than oommcal
hardfhips. Colonel STEVENSON fucceedcd to the
command in Myfore on the unit ult. when Colonel
WELLEst.cv, our late gallant leader, departed for
the Carnatic, on his route to Egypt. This army
is to be at Seringapatam on the zoth influnt, and,
after a halt of three days, proceeds to Catiote ; a•
detachment from Bombay is to co-operate with
us ; and will, to a certain extent, influence our
movements. The enemy's country is excellently
adapted to offenfive warfare, abounding in fall-
nefres, and covered to fifth extent with jungle,
that an invading army is lubjed to inceffant tire
alma without knowing from whance it iifttes; the
Rajah too is known to have been long preparing
for the war he hat provoked. Since the monittort,
the weather has been tine, but rather cold, which
is Rated to have ocoaioned much ficknefs in dif-
ferent parts of the country; but our army is toler-
ably healthful.

CALCuTtA, j.cNti.‘RY sr.
The Ranah or Rajah of Ondipe.ir, who larvly
called in the affiftance of Sets:nen to reduce
his fulijeCts, who had thrown of their allegi-
ance, is at the head of the Rajapoot tribes, and
by way of prominence aifunies the title of Rana.
This family is regarded with the highell degree
of refpeft, even by the Mutfulmans themfelves, in
confequence of a curious tradition relating to his
genealogy : He is faid to be defecncled in it dircd
line from the celebrated A:nit:am:wait, who was
the reigning monarch of Pertia at the. birch of the
Prophet, and of a common origin with the Scids,
defeended from 1105351,., the lon of ALLY, a cir.
cumitance which goes to prove en latercourfe to
have exiited at that time between the waives of
India and the neighbouring Pagan nati,ms.--Sc is.
