MADRAS. FEBRUbRY si.

The following details respecting the operations of
oar armies are given in the Cakutia Mirror
" Our letters from camp, since our last) confirm
the account of the total destraction of the only un-
broken durrah of Pindarees, under Cheetoo, who at
the date of the latest accounts was skulking, with'
ordy nine attendants, in the neighbourhood of Jow-
had ; and as Captain Caulfield had set off in pursuit,
some hope was entertained that his person would be
secured. The remains of the durrahs under Wa,tel
Nahumed and Khurreem Khan have also, after se-
viral ineffectual attempts to escape, been nearly mi..,
sihilated by the divisions under General Marshall'
and Colonel Adams ; and the rebellious part of 1101-
kits army have, in all likelihood. been dispersed be-
fore this time, as Colonel Adams had been ordered
tsi march to gamp4or and attack Roshun Re 's
Weeps, who were occupying a strong position in the
atighboarhond of that place. This Chief's force it
said to consist of seven battalions, some thousand,
horses, and sixteen guns. It is expected they will
make great resistance. The only Mahratta force that''
remains unbroken is that under Ameer Khan's Sir-
date, who, like those of the Nagpore Rajah, do not
appear disposed to abide by the arrangements made
by their Chiefs but as Sir David Ochterlony is said
us have marched to attack them, we may every day
look for accounts of their defeat and submission, and
with these we may almost consider the campaign on
this side of India as at an end."

" Camp near Ooebar, Sanual, la.
64 An officer and party of ours left the camp this
morning, as an escort to an officer said to be bring-
ing the treaty with Hoikar, who is to subsidize 3000
of our troops, which it is reported are to be ful nished
by Bengal, and die number of his own is very consi-
derably limited. His whole revenue is not to exceed
seventeen Lees of rupees. No further accounts of the
l'eishwa or Nagpore 113jaalt. I have seen various pri-
vate letters :ci;arding the attack of the latter, all of
which represent it to have been a most desperate
business on our past. A General Order was pub-
lished yesterday, thanking Colonel Nlacmorine, and
the trcx)ps under his command, fur their gallant be-
haviour at Nagpore, or rather Serinaghur. General
Brown' by the bye, has also been killing and slaying.
Ile had heard that a body of Mahrattas (Holkar's
kieoplel were seeking safety in some village in his way.
erai roads led from it ; he posted on esichoethese
a party of the 3si cavalry, and made .adash himself
with another party at the village, and. succeeded in
cutting off the piper devils."
C .12a:ns's Camp, January 17.
" On the lath, Ce!onel Adams received intelli-
gence that 'Chu," eem Kh us was within se..en coss of
the camp, and had at least 1000 nit a with Mits, upon
whith the Colonel detached Major Clarke, with the
4th cavalry, at eleven o'clock at night, and he very
luekily came upon them by sneprise, at day-break ;
of course, he cut up almost the v.hole of them It
turned out, that instead of 1,000, there were 1.500;
and out of this number the Major gave a good ac-'
count of nearly 1,000 t the rest fled in all directions,
PIA Colonel Adams has sent out some Rehillahs to,
intercept them. Among the slain was Nemdar Khan,
who was cohsidered the very life of the party. Ge
neral grown has come upon Roshun Beg, who was
in rebellion against Volker, at Ranspoor, and taken
eleven guns, besides doing considerable damage to
the rest of his force. We also hear that Sir William
Keir. with the Bombay army, has fallen in with
cheetoo, and completely annihilated his durrah, not
h6wever, without some resistance. Cheetoo escaped,
aal is now wandering, about these parts, with only
ii.ve followers. Captain Eden, of the t Ld dragoons,
Aide-de-camp to Sir Thames Ilislop, passed tins on
tar 10th, with dispatches for head-quarters, among
which is the Treaty with licilkar, the artides of

are still unknown here: lle h escorted by a

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER IN SIR
TUOMAS lIISLOP'S ARMY.
" Camp, lAlahldpecr, Dec. 04,
" DEAR COLONEL—My last letter to you was
written at Nandeir, about the middle of October,
and 1 promised to write again when I should have
any thing interesting to tell you. I did not think at.
that time I should have it in my power to give you;
an account of a regular battle with Holkar s army;'
a very decisive oac, however, was fought upon this
.ground on the '2lst instant. You will, no doubt,l
hear of the event before this reaches you ; but I mayj
as ivell give you a few particulars, which I know youl
will consider interesting. We heard at Ongein that;
Htilkar's. camp was strongly posted here, with a great
many guni and infantry. We made a march of eight
miles, which brought us within 16 miles of the pod-
don,. when a Vakeel, after a good deal of correspon-
dence, Was sent to our camp. Great objections,
(however, were offered to all the proposals made,
under the instructions of the Governor-General ; and
it was always alleged by the Bhai, that though she
wished for peace with the English, some of her chiefs
and troops, who wore in a mutinous state, had re-
solved upon fighting.
" Six days of fruitless negotiations having passed,
we made another short march on the 20th, and at ten
o'clock in the morning of the 21st instant We were in
sight of the enemy's position. Some skirmishing took
place about this time between some of our light in-
fantry, and a few scattered parties of the enemy's
horse ; and many still continued to believe that there'
would be no battle. As we approached nearer, how-
ever, a cannonade was opened upon us from the ene-
my's line, which was on the opposite side of the Sip-
pa; al) river, and a disposition was immediately made
for crossing in their front. The whole of the fine of
the cannon was immediately directed to the ford ;
hut the troops passed under cover of a few pieces of
light artillery, with.little loss. considering the nature
of the fire, which was extremely well-directed; in-
deed, it is impossible that any guns could have ben
better served than those of the enemy ; and the
numtar roan that were killed and wounded in
taking them affords the most convincing proof that
their Golunelaute did their duty with a rengeante-:-
ahout seven hundred and sixty men having Wen
killed and wounded, and most of the enemy s artil-
lery were killed at theit guns. The liattle begs"
about half-past twelve o'clock. The guns were taken
and the infantry disperssd, in the course of about
two hours and a half, and the whole of their arm*
was driven off the field by four o'clock. Or a lies
after. When the charge had continued for absat
two miles and a half, the enemy opened more gins
upon us; but these having been taken in flank by
some of our horse-artillery, were soon abandimed
' and there are now about sixty-two guns in our park,
the fruits of the victory ; a few more are said to have,
been thrown into the river, but have not yet been
found. Had the enemy's cavalry and infantry be-
haved like their artillery, the labours of the day
would not have been finished so soon, nor, perhaps,
so completely'as has been the case; but the former
(the cavalry) did nothing, and the infantry deserted
the artillery at the moment of need."

we continued upon the same course, oc:asioitally in-

sing in that space of time nine streams,
.a
northerly course through rich vallies, the =limy in
every direction being moderatoly high and open, and
generally as fine as can be imagined.
" No doubt remained upon our minds that those
streams fell into the Macquarric, and to view it be-
fore it received such an accession was our first wish.
On the 19th we wete gratified by falling in with st'
river running through a most beautiful country, and
which I should have been well contented to have be-
lieved the river we were in seardi of. AceiMat led
us down this stream about a n.ile, when we were
surprixed by I:s junction with a river coming from
the south, f.i ssich width and magnitude as to dispel
all doubts as to this last being the river we had so
long anxiously looked for. Short as our resources
were, we could not resist the temptation this beauti-
ful country offered us, to remain two days on the
junction of the rivers, for the purpose of examining
the vicinity to as great an extent as p ssible.
" Our examination increased the satisfaction we
had previously felt ; as far as the eye could reach in
every direction, a rich and picturesque country ex-
tended, abounding in limestone, slate, goad timber,
and every other requisite that could render an uncul-
tivated country desirable. The soil cannot be excel-
led ; whilst a noble river of Me first magnitude af-
forded the memo of conveying its productions from
:one part to the other. Where I quitted it its course
was northerly, and we were then north of the paral-
lel of Port Stephens, being in latitude 32 deg. 45
min. 8. and 148 deg. 58 min. E. longitude:
The course and direction of this river is to be the
object of an early expedition.

FLANDERS MAIL.

CAAIBIIAY. JUNE 60.

The Duke of Wellington has given, under a mag-
nificent tent, a Grand Entertainment, at which his
Highness the Prince of Hesse was present. His Grace
had invited to this banquet several French Functio-
naries and General Officers, and a great number cf
Ladies. At the end of the entertainment his Gracc
drank the health of his Majesty Loiiis XVIII. and
the Commissary General of Police drank that cf his
Ineyal Highness the Prince Regent of England.—
' The company afterwards adjourned to the Garden,
which was finely illuminated, and the dancing began.
The fete continued till eleven o'clock.at night.
BRUSSELS, JET.Y e.
They write from the Hague that the plan of a new
Civil Code will be laid to-day before the Council of
State, and that his Majesty will preside in.person at
the discussion. The Hanoverian troops, it is said,
are going to erect in the field of Waterloo, at the
very place where they distinguished themselves by
their extraordinary bravery, a monument, which
shall record to posterity their exploits on that me-
morable day.
The execution of this monument is confided to a
skilful artist: 10,000 francs will be employed on it.
Afterwards will come the monument of our Sove-
reign, which will not be less distinguished than the
others, and which will doubtless be placed at Quatre
Bras, the real place where the victory of the 18th
was decided beforehand by the courage of the Bel-
gians, under the conduct of the valiant, Prince of
Orange.
New barley has been sold in our market, and wa-
gers are laid that new rye will be brought in the next
market. The fields from which the barley has been
carried have been again ploughed, and some of them
already planted with potatoes. The fields of Preach'
Flanders, Picardy, and Artois, have not for many
years offered the prospect of so rich a harvest. The
vineyards of Champagne and Burgundy promise
wines equal in quality to 1802, and exce..ding in
quantity the produce of two common years. On the
other hand, the French manufactures are recovering,
and the number of workmen increases daily.
