Shooters, Captain Basset, were yelterday infpeeed

along with force others in Hyde Park, preparatory
to a general review ; but on account of the unfavour-
able late of the ground, the infpcaing Officer did
not take them out.

London Volunteers, mußered according to order, for
the purpofe of prefenting.their Major and Serjeant-

The following is an entail of a letter from an Of-
ficer in the Eaft-India Company's fervice, dated
Camp Kooch, Bundkeund, April
01 The scat of January the corps left Purtnbghur,
to join the army in this quarter, which was expelled
to have beets attacked by a very large force under
Ammer Khan, a Mahratta Chief. We joined this
divifibn of the army is eleven days. having marched
in that time above 220 miles, which was very harraf-
„fins to our casop-followen and cattle.
0: There are no inns to be met with in India, but
we are under the neceffity of carrying with us fupplies
and neceraries for fevers' months expenditure. About
the time we joinerthis army the dreadful attack very
loon blew over, and ever fince we have been march-
ing and counter-marching. but no enemy to be met
with. This country has lately been ceded to us by
the Peifhwa ; the or:sisal holders of the lands` re in
general our allies, who keep them, paying the
Company the fame tribute that they had paid to
their head (the Palma), which they generally avoid-
ed fulfilling, they having very large bodies of troops
of their own ; and, unlefs compelled by force of arms,
he got little or nothing. It is the fineß country I have
ever fees, not even excepting Bengal: the natives
have only to open the ground, and lbw their grain,
which repays them in great abundance. What is
Rrange, they have few referveirs or wells to water
their fields. In every other part of India, unlefs their
grounds are conflantly fupplied with water, their crops
generally fail ; but it is unpleafant to think, that if a
failure of the annual rains lhould take place.a famine
muR be the confequence.
Scarcely a hut is lobe teen throughout the whole
of this country, unlefs immediately under the protec-
tion of a fort, where all the villages are fa down, and
where they take refuge from the numerous bodies of
Pendarries (banditti horfernen), who are conflantly
laying the inhabitants under contribution, and plus-
det ing the country.
The heat, in my opinion, is very oppreffive. the
thermometer in my tent, a vtry large one, is at tot,
and when expofed to the fun, 5213, which is very bar-
relling to us Europeans."
